They are to make an Ark of acacia wood that measures two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide by one and a half cubits high.
11 Utalifunika hilo Sanduku kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu juu yake kulizunguka.
Cover it with pure gold on the inside and the outside, and make a gold trim to go around it.

15 Hiyo mipiko itabakia daima katika hizo pete za hilo Sanduku; haitaondolewa.
The poles are to stay in the rings of the Ark; don't take them out.
16 Kisha weka ndani ya hilo Sanduku ule Ushuhuda nitakaokupa.
Place inside the Ark the Testimony which I'm going to give you.
17 “Tengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho cha dhahabu safi, chenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu.
You are to make an atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide.
18 Tengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
Make two cherubim of hammered gold for the ends of the atonement cover,

and put one cherub on each end. All of this is to be made from one piece of gold.
20 Makerubi hao watakuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, yakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao wataelekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
The cherubim are to be designed with spread wings pointing upward, covering the atonement cover. The cherubim are to be placed facing each another, looking down towards the atonement cover.
21 Weka huo Ushuhuda nitakaokupa ndani ya hilo Sanduku la Agano, na uweke hicho kifuniko juu ya hilo Sanduku.
Place the atonement cover on top of the Ark, and put the Testimony that I'm going to give you inside the Ark.
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.
I will meet with you there as arranged above the atonement cover, between the two cherubim that stand over the Ark of the Testimony, and I will talk with you about all the commands I will give the Israelites.
23 “Tengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
Then you are to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long by a cubit wide by a cubit and a half high.

30 Utaweka mikate ya Wonyesho juu ya meza hii iwe mbele yangu daima.
Place the Bread of the Presence on the table so it is always in my presence.
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.
Make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. The whole of it is to be made of one piece—its base, shaft, cups, buds, and flowers.
32 Matawi sita yatatokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
It is to have six branches coming out of the sides of the lampstand, three on each side.
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.
Have three cups shaped like almond flowers on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch. Each of six branches that come out will have three cups shaped like almond flowers, all complete with buds and petals.
34 Juu ya kinara chenyewe vitakuwepo vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
On the main shaft of the lampstand make four cups shaped like almond flowers, complete with buds and petals.
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.
On the six branches that come out from the lampstand, place a bud under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.
36 Matovu na matawi yote yatakuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakifuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
The buds and branches are to be made with the lampstand as one piece, hammered out of pure gold.
37 “Kisha tengeneza taa zake saba na uziweke juu ya kinara hicho ili ziangaze mbele yake.
Make seven lamps and place them on the lampstand so they can light up the area in front of it.

39 Utatumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi kutengeneza hicho kinara na vifaa vyake vyote.
The lampstand and all these utensils will require a talent of pure gold.
40 Hakikisha kuwa umevitengeneza sawasawa na ule mfano ulioonyeshwa kule mlimani.
Be sure to make everything according to the design you were shown on the mountain.”
