Ekoruhe 36
1 Na ka mahi a Petareere raua ko Ahoriapa, ratou ko nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa, i homai nei e Ihowa he ngakau tupato ki a ratou, me te whakaaro e mohiotia ai te mahi i nga tini mahi, o nga mea o te wahi tapu, o te pera me nga mea katoa i whakah aua e Ihowa.
“Bezalel and Oholiab, and all the other men to whom Yahweh has given ability and enabled them to understand how to do all the work to make the Sacred Tent, must make everything just as Yahweh has commanded.”
2 A i karangatia e Mohi a Petareere raua ko Ahoriapa, me nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa; i homai nei e Ihowa he mahara ki o ratou ngakau, nga tangata katoa i toko ake o ratou ngakau kia haere ki te mahi mahi ai:
So Moses/I summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some of the work.
3 Na ka tangohia e ratou i te aroaro o Mohi nga whakahere katoa i kawea e nga tama a Iharaira hei hanga i nga mea mo te wahi tapu, kia oti. I kawea ano e ratou he whakahere homai noa ki a ia i tenei ata, i tenei ata.
Moses/I gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the Sacred Tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.
4 Na ka haere mai nga tangata mohio katoa, nga kaimahi o nga mea katoa o te wahi tapu, tera, tera, i tana mahi i mahi ai;
As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me
5 A ka korero ki a Mohi, ka mea, He nui noa atu ta te iwi e kawe mai nei mo te mahinga o nga mea i whakahaua e Ihowa kia meatia.
and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”
6 Na ka whakahau a Mohi, a ka pa te karanga i te puni, ka mea, Kaua tetahi tane, wahine ranei e mahi i tetahi atu mahi hei whakahere mo te wahi tapu. Na ka whakamutua te kawe mai a te iwi.
So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.
7 He nui hoki, a toe ake, nga mea i a ratou mo te mahinga o nga mea katoa.
What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!
8 Na nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa o nga kaimahi i hanga te tapenakara ki nga pihi kotahi tekau, ki te rinena miro pai, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana: he tohunga rawa te mahinga o nga kerupima i whatua ki roto.
All the most skilled men among the workmen made the Sacred Tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make figures that resembled the winged creatures.
9 E rua tekau ma waru whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, e wha whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi: rite tonu te nui o nga pihi katoa.
Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
10 I honoa e ia nga pihi e rima tetahi ki tetahi: me era atu pihi e rima hoki, i honoa e ia tetahi ki tetahi.
They sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.
11 A i hanga ano e ia etahi koropiko puru ki te taha o tetahi pihi, ki te taha e honoa ana: i pera ano tana mahi ki te taha ki waho o tetahi pihi, ki te hononga mai o te rua.
For each set, they made loops of blue [cloth] and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
12 E rima tekau nga koropiko i hanga e ia ki tetahi pihi, e rima tekau hoki nga koropiko i hanga e ia ki te taha o te pihi i te hononga mai o te rua: a i mau nga koropiko tetahi ki tetahi.
They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
13 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi toromoka koura e rima tekau, a honoa ana nga pihi tetahi ki tetahi ki nga toromoka: a ka kotahi ano te tapenakara.
They made 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the Sacred Tent was [as though it was] one piece.
14 I hanga ano e ia etahi pihi ki te huruhuru koati, hei teneti mo runga i te tapenakara: kotahi tekau ma tahi nga pihi i hanga e ia.
They made a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
15 E toru tekau whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, e wha hoki nga whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi, rite tonu te nui o nga pihi kotahi tekau ma tahi.
Each piece of cloth was (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
16 A i honoa e ia nga pihi e rima ki a ratou ano, me nga pihi e ono ki a ratou ano.
They sewed five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and they sewed the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set.
17 I hanga ano e ia nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa ki waho o te pihi i te hononga, i hanga ano e ia nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa o te pihi e honoa mai ai te rua.
They made 100 loops [of blue cloth]. They fastened 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
18 I hanga ano e ia nga toromoka parahi e rima tekau, hei hono i te teneti kia kotahi.
They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.
19 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi hiako hipi he mea whakawhero, hei uhi mo te teneti, me etahi hiako pateri hei uhi mo waho atu.
They made two more covers for the Sacred Tent. They made one from rams’ skins that had been (tanned/dyed red), and they made the top cover from goatskin leather.
20 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi papa mo te tapenakara, he hitimi te rakau, he mea tu ki runga.
They made frames from acacia wood and set them up [to support the covers for the Sacred Tent].
21 Kotahi tekau whatianga te roa o te papa kotahi, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui o te papa kotahi.
Each frame was (15 feet/4.5 meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
22 E rua nga arero o te papa kotahi, he mea hono ki a raua: he pera tonu tana i mea ai ki nga papa katoa o te tapenakara.
They made two projections at the bottom of each frame. These were for fastening the frames to the bases underneath them. Each frame had these projections.
23 I hanga ano e ia nga papa mo te tapenakara: e rua tekau nga papa mo te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga:
The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
24 E wha tekau hoki nga turanga hiriwa i hanga e ia mo nga papa e rua tekau; e rua nga turanga i raro i tetahi papa mo ona arero e rua, e rua hoki nga turanga i raro i tetahi atu papa mo ona arero e rua.
They made 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.
25 A e rua tekau nga papa i hanga e ia mo tera taha o te tapenakara, mo te taha ki te raki.
[Similarly], they made 20 frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
26 Me nga turanga hiriwa e wha tekau; nga turanga e rua mo raro iho i tetahi papa, me nga turanga e rua mo raro i tetahi atu papa.
They made 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases for under each frame.
27 A mo te tuarongo o te tapenakara whaka te hauauru, e ono nga papa i hanga e ia.
For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, they made six frames.
28 E rua hoki nga papa i hanga e ia mo nga koki o te tapenakara i te tuarongo.
They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
29 A i honoa aua papa i raro, i honoa ano i runga ki te mowhiti kotahi: i peratia e ia aua papa e rua i nga koki e rua.
The two corner frames were 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 they fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
30 Na ka waru aua papa; me nga turanga hiriwa, kotahi tekau ma ono nga turanga; e rua nga turanga i raro i tetahi papa, i tetahi papa.
In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there were eight frames, and there were 16 bases, two bases under each frame.
31 I hanga ano e ia etahi kaho, he hitimi te rakau: e rima mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara,
The workmen made 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
32 E rima hoki nga kaho mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara, a e rima nga kaho mo nga papa o te tapenakara, mo te tuarongo ki te hauauru.
Five of them were for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
33 A ko to waenga kaho i meinga e ia kia rere na waenganui o nga papa i tetahi pito ki tetahi pito.
The crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent were fastened to the middle of the frames. The two long crossbars extended from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side extended from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other side.
34 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga papa ki te koura, a ka hanga nga mowhiti o aua papa ki te koura hei kuhunga mo nga kaho; i whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga kaho ki te koura.
The workmen covered the frames with gold and fastened gold rings to the poles. The crossbars [were put] into the rings. The crossbars were [also] covered with gold.
35 I hanga ano e ia he arai ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai; he tohunga rawa te mahinga o nga kerupima i whatua e ia ki roto.
They made a curtain from fine white linen. Skilled craftsmen embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making designs [that resembled] the winged creatures.
36 I hanga ano e ia ona pou e wha ki te hitimi, a whakakikoruatia iho e ia ki te koura; he koura nga matau: i whakarewaina ano e ia nga turanga hiriwa e wha mo aua mea.
They suspended/hung the curtain from four posts that were made from acacia [wood] and covered with gold. They set [each] post in a silver base.
37 I hanga ano he pa mo te whatitoka o te teneti ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai hoki, he mea mahi ki te ngira;
They made a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They made it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
38 Me ona pou e rima, me nga matau a aua pou: a i whakakikoruatia e ia nga pito ki runga o aua pou me nga awhi ki te koura: ko nga turanga e rima ia he parahi.
[To support this curtain], they also made five posts from acacia wood and fastened gold clasps/fasteners to them. They completely covered the posts with gold. They also made a bronze base for each of those posts.
