Ekoruhe 26

1 Me hanga ano e koe te tapenakara, kia tekau pihi rinena miro pai; he puru hoki, he papura, he ngangana: me whatu ki roto etahi kerupima; kia tohunga rawa te mahi.

“[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].

2 Kia rua tekau ma waru whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, kia wha whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi: kia rite te nui o nga pihi katoa.

Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.

3 Me hono nga pihi e rima tetahi ki tetahi; me era atu pihi e rima hoki, me hono tetahi ki tetahi.

[Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.

4 Me hanga ano etahi koropiko puru ki te taha o tetahi pihi, ki te taha e honoa ana: me pena ano e koe ki te taha ki waho o tetahi pihi, ki te taha e honoa mai ai te rua.

For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.

5 Kia rima tekau nga koropiko e hanga e koe ki tetahi pihi, kia rima tekau hoki nga koropiko e hanga ki te taha o te pihi e honoa mai ai te rua, kia hangai ai nga koropiko tetahi ki tetahi.

[They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.

6 Me hanga ano etahi toromoka koura, kia rima tekau, ka hono ai i nga pihi ki nga toromoka: a ka kotahi te tapenakara.

[Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.

7 Me hanga ano hoki etahi pihi ki te huruhuru koati, hei teneti mo runga i te tapenakara: kia kotahi tekau ma tahi nga pihi e hanga e koe.

Also, [tell them to] make a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.

8 Kia toru tekau whatianga te roa o tetahi pihi, kia wha hoki whatianga te whanui o tetahi pihi, kia rite tonu te nui o nga pihi kotahi tekau ma tahi.

Each piece of cloth is to be (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.

9 A me hono nga pihi e rima ki a ratou ano, me nga pihi e ono ki a ratou ano; a me whawhati te tuaono o nga pihi ki te wahi ki mua o te tapenakara.

[Tell them to] sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. [They] must fold the sixth piece [of cloth] in half to make it double over the front of the Sacred Tent.

10 Me hanga ano kia rima tekau nga koropiko mo te tapa o to waho pihi, i te hononga, me nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa o te pihi o waho rawa, e honoa mai ai te rua.

[Tell them to] make 100 loops [of blue cloth], and to fasten 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and fasten 50 to the outer edge of the other set.

11 Me hanga ano etahi toromoka parahi, kia rima tekau, a ka kuhu i nga totomoka ki nga koropiko, ka hono hoki i te teneti kia kotahi.

[Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.

12 A ko te wahi i kohirahira atu o nga pihi o te teneti, te taha o te pihi i mahue atu ra, me whakapahika ki waho atu o te tuarongo o te tapenakara.

[Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.

13 A, ko te wahi e roa iho ana o nga pihi o te teneti, kia kotahi whatianga o tetahi pito, kia kotahi whatianga o tetahi pito, e purero iho i nga taha o te tapenakara, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, hei uhi.

The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.

14 Me hanga ano e koe etahi hiako hipi, he mea kua oti te whakawhero, hei uhi mo te teneti, me etahi hiako pateri, hei uhi mo waho atu.

[Tell them to] make two more covers for the Sacred Tent. One is to be made from rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), and the top cover is to be made from goatskin leather.”

15 Me hanga ano etahi papa mo te tapenakara, ki te hitimi te rakau, he mea whakatu.

“[Tell them to] make frames from acacia wood, frames that will be set up [from which to hang the Sacred Tent covers].

16 Kia kotahi tekau whatianga te roa o te papa, kia kotahi hoki whatianga me te hawhe te whanui o te papa kotahi.

Each frame is to be (five yards/four meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.

17 Kia rua nga arero o te papa kotahi, kia ririte ki a raua: kia pena tonu tau e mea ai ki nga papa katoa o te tapenakara.

[They] must make two projections at the bottom of each frame. These will be to fasten the frames to the bases underneath them. They must make these projections at the bottom of each frame.

18 Na me hanga nga papa mo te tapenakara, kia rua tekau nga papa mo te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga.

Make 20 frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.

19 Me hanga ano nga turanga hiriwa e wha tekau mo raro iho i nga papa e rua tekau; kia rua nga turanga ki raro i tetahi papa mo ona arero e rua, kia rua hoki turanga ki raro i tetahi papa mo ona arero e rua.

[Tell them to] make 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases will go under each frame. The projections [at the bottom] of each frame are [to be made] to fit into the bases.

20 Kia rua tekau hoki nga papa mo te rua o nga taha o te tapenakara, mo te taha ki te raki:

[Similarly], [tell them to] make twenty frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.

21 Me nga turanga hiriwa e wha tekau o aua mea, nga turanga e rua mo raro i tetahi papa, me nga turanga e rua mo raro i tetahi atu papa.

[They] must make 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases to be put under each frame.

22 A mo te tuarongo o te tapenakara whaka te hauauru me hanga e koe kia ono nga papa.

For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, [tell them to] make six frames.

23 Kia rua nga papa e hanga e koe mo nga koki o te tapenakara i te tuarongo.

Also, [tell them to] make two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].

24 A me hono aua papa i raro, me hono ano hoki i runga rawa ki te mowhiti kotahi: me pena aua papa e rua; me waiho mo nga koki e rua.

The two corner frames must be joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames there must be a gold ring for holding the crossbar.

25 Na ka waru ena papa me nga turanga hiriwa; kotahi tekau ma ono nga turanga; e rua nga turanga mo raro i tetahi papa, e rua hoki nga turanga mo raro i tetahi atu papa.

In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there will be eight frames, and there will be 16 bases, two under each frame.

26 Me hanga ano hoki e koe etahi kaho, ki te hitimi te rakau; kia rima mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara,

[Tell them to] make 15 crossbars from acacia wood.

27 Kia rima hoki nga kaho mo nga papa o tetahi atu taha o te tapenakara, kia rima hoki nga kaho mo nga papa o tetahi pito o te tapenakara, ara o te tuarongo whaka te hauauru.

Five of them will be for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five will be for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.

28 A ko to waenga kaho, i waenganui o nga papa, ka rere atu i tetahi pito, ki tetahi pito.

Tell them to fasten the crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent to the middle of the frames. The two long ones must extend from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side must extend from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other.

29 A me whakakikorua e koe nga papa ki te koura, me hanga ano hoki nga mowhiti ki te koura hei kuhunga mo nga kaho: me whakakikorua ano hoki nga kaho ki te koura.

[Tell them to] cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to fasten the crossbars to the frames. The crossbars must [also] be covered with gold.

30 Na me whakaara e koe te tapenakara; kia rite hoki ki tona tauira i whakakitea ki a koe i te maunga.

Erect the Sacred Tent in the way that I have shown you [here] on [this] mountain.”

31 Me hanga ano e koe he arai ki te mea puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai; kia whatua ano hoki he kerupima ki roto: kia tohunga rawa te mahi:

“[Tell them to] make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making [designs to represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].

32 Ka whakairi ai ki runga ki nga pou hitimi e wha, he mea whakakikorua ki te koura: me koura nga matau, ki runga ano i nga turanga hiriwa e wha.

[Tell them to] suspend/hang the curtain from four posts made from acacia wood and covered with gold. Set [each] post in a silver base.

33 A me whakairi e koe te arai ki raro i nga toromoka, ka kawe ai i te aaka o te whakaaturanga ki reira, ki roto i te arai; a ko te arai hei wehe ma koutou i te wahi tapu, i te wahi tino tapu.

[They] must suspend/hang the [top of the] curtain by hooks that are fastened to the roof of the Sacred Tent. Behind the curtain, in the [room called the] Very Holy Place, [they] must put the chest containing the [two stone slabs on which I have written my] commandments. That curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place.

34 Me whakatakoto ano e koe te taupoki ki runga ki te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ki te wahi tino tapu.

On top of the chest in the Very Holy Place [they] must put the lid which will be the place where [blood will be sprinkled to] forgive people’s sins.

35 Me whakatu ano te tepu ki waho mai o te arai, me te turanga rama ki te ritenga atu o te tepu, ki te taha o te tapenakara whaka te tonga: me whakatu hoki e koe te tepu ki te taha ki te raki.

[In the room that is] outside of the Very Holy Place, [they] must put the table [for the sacred] bread on the north side, and put the lampstand on the south side.

36 Me hanga ano he pa mo te whatitoka o te teneti, ki te mea puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai, he mea whakairo ki te ngira.

[Tell them to] make a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They must make it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.

37 Me hanga ano mo te pa kia rima nga pou hitimi, ka whakakikorua ki te koura, me koura nga matau o aua mea; me whakarewa ano hoki e koe etahi turanga parahi e rima mo aua mea.

To hold up this curtain, [they] must make five posts from acacia wood. [They] must cover them with gold, and fasten gold clasps/fasteners to them. Also [they] must make a bronze base for each of these posts.”
