Kutoka 31
1 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 “Tazama, nimemchagua Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila la Yuda,
“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah [Praised]:
3 nami nimemjaza Roho wa Mungu, pamoja na ustadi, uwezo na ujuzi katika aina zote za ufundi,
and I have filled him with the breath mind Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4 ili kubuni michoro ya kupendeza katika ufundi wa dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 kuchonga vito na kuvitia mahali, kufanya ufundi kwa mbao, na kujishughulisha na aina zote za ufundi.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6 Tena nimemteua Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila la Dani, ili kumsaidia. Pia mafundi wote nimewapa ustadi wa kutengeneza kila kitu nilichokuamuru wewe:
Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan [He judged]; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have enjoined you:
7 Hema la Kukutania, Sanduku la Ushuhuda pamoja na kiti cha rehema juu yake, pia na vifaa vyote vya kwenye hema,
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8 meza na vifaa vyake, kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi na vifaa vyake vyote, madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba,
the table and its utensils, the pure menorah ·lamp· with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9 madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote, sinia na kinara chake,
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, the basin and its base,
10 pamoja na mavazi matakatifu yaliyofumwa ya kuhani Aroni, na mavazi kwa ajili ya wanawe wakati wanahudumu katika kazi ya ukuhani,
the finely worked garments— the holy garments for Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest— the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office,
11 pia mafuta ya upako na uvumba wenye harufu nzuri kwa ajili ya Mahali Patakatifu. Watavitengeneza sawasawa kama vile nilivyokuagiza wewe.”
the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have enjoined you they shall do.”
12 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
13 “Waambie Waisraeli, ‘Ninyi ni lazima mzishike Sabato zangu. Hii itakuwa ni ishara kati yangu na ninyi kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo, ili mpate kujua kwamba Mimi Ndimi Bwana, niwafanyaye ninyi watakatifu.
“Speak also to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Shab'totay ·Intermissions·: for it is a sign between me and you throughout all your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy].
14 “‘Mtaishika Sabato, kwa sababu ni takatifu kwenu. Yeyote atakayeinajisi lazima auawe, yeyote atakayefanya kazi siku hiyo lazima akafie mbali na watu wake.
You shall keep the Shabath ·Intermission· 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 among his people.
15 Kwa siku sita, mtafanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kupumzika, takatifu kwa Bwana. Yeyote afanyaye kazi yoyote siku ya Sabato ni lazima auawe.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Shabath ·Intermission· of solemn rest, holy to Adonai. Whoever does any work on the Shabath ·Intermission· day shall surely be put to death.
16 Waisraeli wataishika Sabato, kuiadhimisha kwa vizazi vijavyo kuwa Agano la milele.
Therefore the children of Israel [God prevails] shall keep the Shabath ·Intermission·, to observe the Shabath ·Intermission· throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
17 Itakuwa ishara kati yangu na Waisraeli milele, kwa kuwa kwa muda wa siku sita Bwana aliumba mbingu na dunia, na siku ya saba akaacha kufanya kazi, akapumzika.’”
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel [God prevails] forever; for in six days Adonai made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18 Bwana alipomaliza kusema na Mose juu ya Mlima Sinai, Mungu akampa vile vibao viwili vya Ushuhuda, vibao vya mawe vilivyoandikwa kwa kidole cha Mungu.
He gave to Moses [Drawn out], when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai [Thorn], the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with the finger of God.
