Kutoka 25
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Waambie Waisraeli waniletee sadaka. Utapokea sadaka kwa niaba yangu kutoka kwa kila mtu ambaye moyo wake wapenda kutoa.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, so that they may take the first-fruits to me. You shall accept these from every man who offers of his own accord.
3 Hizi ndizo sadaka utakazozipokea kutoka kwao: dhahabu, fedha na shaba;
Now these are the things that you must accept: Gold, and silver, and brass,
4 nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu, pamoja na kitani safi; singa za mbuzi;
hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,
5 ngozi za kondoo dume zilizopakwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo; mbao za mshita;
and the skins of rams, dyed red, and skins of violet, and setim wood,
6 mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya taa; vikolezi kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako, pamoja na uvumba wa harufu nzuri;
oil to prepare lights, aromatics as ointments and sweet-smelling incense,
7 na vito vya shohamu na vito vingine vya thamani vya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kile kifuko cha kifuani.
onyx stones and gems to adorn the ephod as well as the breastplate.
8 “Kisha uwaamuru wanitengenezee mahali patakatifu, nami nitakaa miongoni mwao.
And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I will live in their midst.
9 Tengeneza hema hili na vyombo vyake vyote sawasawa na kielelezo nitakachokuonyesha.
According to exact likeness of the tabernacle, and all of the vessels for its rituals, that I will reveal to you, so shall you make it.
10 “Nao watatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita, lenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
Join together an ark of setim wood, whose length shall hold two and one half cubits; the width, one and one half cubits; the height, likewise, one and one half cubits.
11 Utalifunika hilo Sanduku kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu juu yake kulizunguka.
And you shall overlay it with the finest gold, inside and out. And over it, you shall fashion a gold crown all around,
12 Utalisubu kwa pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
and four gold rings, which you shall set into the four corners of the ark. Let two rings be on one side and two on the other.
13 Kisha utatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.
14 Utaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.
And you shall put them through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, so that it may be carried on them.
15 Hiyo mipiko itabakia daima katika hizo pete za hilo Sanduku; haitaondolewa.
These must always be in the rings, neither shall they ever be drawn out of them.
16 Kisha weka ndani ya hilo Sanduku ule Ushuhuda nitakaokupa.
And you shall place the testimony, which I will give to you, in the ark.
17 “Tengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho cha dhahabu safi, chenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu.
You shall also make a propitiatory of the finest gold. Its length shall hold two and one half cubits, and the width, one and one half cubits.
18 Tengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
Likewise, you shall make two Cherubim of formed gold, on both sides of the oracle.
19 Tengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; watengeneze makerubi hao wawe kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
Let one Cherub be on the one side, and the other be on the other.
20 Makerubi hao watakuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, yakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao wataelekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,
21 Weka huo Ushuhuda nitakaokupa ndani ya hilo Sanduku la Agano, na uweke hicho kifuniko juu ya hilo Sanduku.
in which you will place the testimony that I will give to you.
22 Hapo juu ya hicho kifuniko, kati ya hao makerubi wawili walioko juu ya hilo Sanduku la Ushuhuda, hapo ndipo nitakapokutana nawe na kukupa maagizo yangu kwa ajili ya Waisraeli.
From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.
23 “Tengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
You shall also make a table of setim wood, having two cubits of length, and one cubit in width, and one cubit and one half cubits in height.
24 Ifunike kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
And you shall overlay it with the purest gold. And you shall make it with a gold lip all around,
25 Kisha tengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na ufanyie ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.
and for the lip itself an engraved crown, four fingers high, and above it another little gold crown.
26 Tengeneza pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na uzifungie kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.
Likewise, you shall prepare four gold rings and set them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.
27 Pete hizo zitakuwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko itakayotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.
Under the crown, there shall be gold rings, so that the bars may be put through them and the table may be carried.
28 Tengeneza mipiko hiyo kwa mbao za mshita, uifunike na dhahabu, uitumie kubeba hiyo meza.
Likewise, the bars themselves you shall make of setim wood, and surround them with gold, to lift up the table.
29 Tengeneza sahani zake na masinia yake kwa dhahabu safi, pamoja na bilauri na bakuli zake kwa ajili ya kumiminia sadaka.
You shall also prepare small cups, as well as bowls, censers, and measuring cups, with which the libations shall be offered, out of the purest gold.
30 Utaweka mikate ya Wonyesho juu ya meza hii iwe mbele yangu daima.
And you shall place upon the table the bread of the presence, in my sight always.
31 “Tengeneza kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi iliyofuliwa vizuri katika kitako chake na ufito wake; vikombe vyake vinavyofanana na ua, matovu yake na maua yake viwe kitu kimoja.
You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.
32 Matawi sita yatatokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.
33 Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vitakuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yanayotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.
Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.
34 Juu ya kinara chenyewe vitakuwepo vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.
35 Tovu moja litakuwa chini ya jozi ya kwanza ya matawi yaliyotokeza kwenye kinara cha taa, tovu la pili chini ya jozi ya pili, nalo tovu la tatu chini ya jozi ya tatu, yaani matawi sita kwa jumla.
Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.
36 Matovu na matawi yote yatakuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakifuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.
37 “Kisha tengeneza taa zake saba na uziweke juu ya kinara hicho ili ziangaze mbele yake.
You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.
38 Mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote zitakuwa za dhahabu safi.
Likewise, the candle snuffers, and the place where the candles will be extinguished, shall be made from the purest gold.
39 Utatumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi kutengeneza hicho kinara na vifaa vyake vyote.
The entire weight of the candlestick, with all its parts, shall hold one talent of the purest gold.
40 Hakikisha kuwa umevitengeneza sawasawa na ule mfano ulioonyeshwa kule mlimani.
Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain.”
