Ekoruhe 31
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Titiro, kua whakahuatia nei e ahau te ingoa o Petareere, tama a Uri, ko ia nei he tama na Huru, no te iwi o Hura:
“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3 Kua whakakiia ano ia e ahau ki te wairua o te Atua, ki te ngakau tupato, ki te whakaaro, ki te mohio, ki nga mahi katoa hoki,
I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4 Hei whakaaro ki nga mahi a te tohunga, hei mahi i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te parahi,
to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 Mo te whakairo kohatu hoki, mo te whakanoho hoki, mo te whakairo rakau, mo te mahi ano hoki i nga mahi katoa.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6 Na, tenei ano te hoatu nei e ahau hei hoa mona a Ahoriapa tama a Ahihamaka, no te iwi o Rana: kua whakanohoia ano e ahau he mahara ki nga ngakau o te hunga ngakau mahara katoa, hei hanga i nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe;
Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7 I te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, i tona taupoki, i nga mea katoa o te tapenakara,
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8 I te tepu, i ona mea, i te turanga parakore o nga rama, i ona mea katoa, i te aata mo te whakakakara,
the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
9 I te aata mo te tahunga tinana, i ona mea katoa, i te takotoranga wai raua ko tona turanga.
the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
10 I nga kakahu mo te mahi minita, i nga kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo te tohunga, i nga kakahu mo ana tama, mo te mahi tohunga,
the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—
11 I te hinu whakawahi, i te whakakakara reka mo te wahi tapu: kia rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu e ahau ki a koe.
the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
12 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Korero ano ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Me whakarite ano e koutou aku hapati: hei tohu hoki ki waenganui oku, o koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga: kia mohio ai ko ahau, ko Ihowa, te whakatapu nei i a koutou.
“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
14 Na me whakarite te hapati; he tapu hoki tena ki a koutou: he mate kau mo te tangata e whakanoa ana i taua ra: ko te tangata hoki e mahi ana i tetahi mahi i reira, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from amongst his people.
15 E ono nga ra e mahia ai te mahi; kei te whitu ia o nga ra te hapati okiokinga, he tapu ki a Ihowa: ko te tangata e mahi ana i tetahi mahi i te ra hapati he mate kau mona.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16 Mo reira me mahara nga tama a Iharaira ki te hapati, kia whakaritea te hapati i o ratou whakatupuranga: kia mau tonu tenei kawenata.
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 He tohu tena ra ki waenganui oku, o nga tama a Iharaira, ake ake: e ono hoki nga ra i hanga ai e Ihowa te rangi me te whenua, a i te whitu o nga ra ka okioki, a ta ana tona manawa.
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18 I homai ano e ia ki a Mohi, i te mutunga o tana korero ki a ia i runga i Maunga Hinai, e rua nga papa whakaaturanga, he papa kohatu, he mea tuhituhi na te ringa o te Atua.
When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
