1 Mose akakusanya jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli na kuwaambia, “Haya ndiyo mambo ambayo Bwana amewaamuru ninyi mfanye:
And Moses assembles all the congregation of the sons of Israel and says to them, “These [are] the things which YHWH has commanded—to do them:
2 Kwa siku sita, mtafanya kazi, lakini siku ya saba itakuwa takatifu kwenu, Sabato ya kupumzika kwa Bwana. Yeyote atakayefanya kazi yoyote siku hiyo ni lazima auawe.
[For] six days work is done, and on the seventh day there is a holy [day] for you, a Sabbath of rest to YHWH; any who does work in it is put to death;
3 Msiwashe moto mahali popote katika makazi yenu siku ya Sabato.”
you do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
4 Mose akaiambia jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli, “Hili ndilo Bwana aliloamuru:
And Moses speaks to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing which YHWH has commanded, saying,
5 Toeni sadaka kwa Bwana kutoka mali mliyo nayo. Kila mmoja aliye na moyo wa kupenda atamletea Bwana sadaka ya dhahabu, fedha na shaba;
Take a raised-offering for YHWH from among you; everyone whose heart [is] willing brings it [as] the raised-offering of YHWH: gold, and silver, and bronze,
6 nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi; singa za mbuzi;
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],
7 ngozi za kondoo dume zilizopakwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo; mbao za mshita;
and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,
8 mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya taa; vikolezi kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako, pamoja na uvumba wa harufu nzuri;
and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense,
9 vito vya shohamu, na vito vingine vya thamani vya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kile kifuko cha kifuani.
and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
10 “Wote wenye ujuzi miongoni mwenu inawapasa kuja na kutengeneza kila kitu Bwana alichoamuru:
And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all that YHWH has commanded:
11 Maskani pamoja na hema lake na kifuniko chake, vibanio, mihimili, mataruma, nguzo na vitako;
the Dwelling Place, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
12 Sanduku la Agano pamoja na mipiko yake, kifuniko cha kiti cha rehema na pazia linalokizuia;
the Ark and its poles, the propitiatory covering, and the veil of the covering,
13 meza na mipiko yake pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote, mikate ya Wonyesho;
the table and its poles, and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presentation,
14 kinara cha taa kwa ajili ya mwanga pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote, taa na mafuta kwa ajili ya mwanga;
and the lampstand for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,
15 madhabahu ya kufukiza uvumba pamoja na mipiko yake, mafuta ya upako na uvumba wenye harufu nzuri; pazia la mlangoni mahali pa kuingilia ndani ya maskani;
and the altar of incense, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the spice-incense, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the Dwelling Place,
16 madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketeza pamoja na wavu wake wa shaba, mipiko yake pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote; sinia la shaba pamoja na tako lake;
the altar of burnt-offering and the bronze grate which it has, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,
17 pazia la eneo la ua pamoja na nguzo zake na vitako vyake, pazia la ingilio la kwenye ua;
the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,
18 vigingi vya hema kwa ajili ya maskani pamoja na ua na kamba zake;
the pins of the Dwelling Place, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 mavazi yaliyofumwa yanayovaliwa wakati wa huduma katika mahali patakatifu, yaani mavazi matakatifu kwa ajili ya kuhani Aroni, na mavazi kwa ajili ya wanawe watakapokuwa wakihudumu katika kazi ya ukuhani.”
the colored garments, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in.”
20 Ndipo jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli ilipoondoka mbele ya Mose,
And all the congregation of the sons of Israel go out from the presence of Moses,
21 na kila mmoja aliyependa na ambaye moyo wake ulimsukuma alikuja na kuleta sadaka kwa Bwana, kwa ajili ya kazi katika Hema la Kukutania, kwa ajili ya huduma yake yote na kwa ajili ya mavazi matakatifu.
and they come in—every man whom his heart has lifted up, and everyone whom his spirit has made willing—they have brought in the raised-offering of YHWH for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
22 Wote waliokuwa na utayari, wanaume kwa wanawake, wakaja wakaleta vito vya dhahabu vya kila aina: vipini, vipuli, pete na mapambo. Wote wakatoa dhahabu zao kama sadaka ya kuinuliwa kwa Bwana.
And they come in—the men with the women—every willing-hearted one—they have brought in nose-ring, and earring, and seal-ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even everyone who has waved a wave-offering of gold to YHWH.
23 Kila mmoja aliyekuwa na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, au za rangi nyekundu au kitani safi, au singa za mbuzi, ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, au ngozi za pomboo, wakavileta.
And every man with whom has been found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair], and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, have brought [them] in;
24 Wale waliotoa sadaka ya fedha au shaba wakavileta kama sadaka kwa Bwana, na kila aliyekuwa na mti wa mshita kwa ajili ya kazi yoyote ile akauleta.
everyone lifting up a raised-offering of silver and bronze has brought in the raised-offering of YHWH; and everyone with whom has been found shittim wood for any work of the service brought [it] in.
25 Kila mwanamke aliyekuwa na ujuzi alisokota kwa mikono yake na alileta kile alichosokota, iwe ni nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, au za rangi nyekundu au kitani safi.
And every wise-hearted woman has spun with her hands, and they bring in yarn—of the blue, and the purple, [and] the scarlet—and the linen;
26 Wanawake wote waliopenda na waliokuwa na ujuzi wakasokota singa za mbuzi.
and all the women whose heart has lifted them up in wisdom, have spun the goats’ [hair].
27 Viongozi wakaleta vito vya shohamu pamoja na vito vingine vya thamani kwa ajili ya kuweka kwenye kisibau na kwenye kifuko cha kifuani.
And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate,
28 Wakaleta pia vikolezi na mafuta ya zeituni kwa ajili ya mwanga, kwa ajili ya mafuta ya upako na kwa ajili ya uvumba wenye harufu nzuri.
and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the spice-incense;
29 Waisraeli wote waume kwa wake waliokuwa wanapenda wakaleta mbele za Bwana kwa hiari yao wenyewe sadaka kwa ajili ya kazi yote ya Bwana aliyokuwa amewaagiza kuifanya kupitia kwa Mose.
every man and woman of the sons of Israel (whom their heart has made willing to bring in for all the work which YHWH commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) brought in a willing-offering to YHWH.
30 Kisha Mose akawaambia Waisraeli, “Tazameni, Bwana amemchagua Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila la Yuda,
And Moses says to the sons of Israel, “See, YHWH has called Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, by name,
31 naye amemjaza Roho wa Mungu, pamoja na ustadi, na uwezo na ujuzi katika aina zote za ufundi,
and He fills him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
32 ili kubuni michoro ya kupendeza katika ufundi wa dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
even to devise inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
33 kuchonga vito na kuvitia mahali, kufanya ufundi kwa mbao, na kujishughulisha na aina zote za ufundi wa kupendeza.
and in a carving of stones for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in any work of design.
34 Tena amempa yeye pamoja na Oholiabu, mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila la Dani, uwezo wa kufundisha wengine.
And He has put [it] in his heart to direct, he and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
35 Amewajaza ustadi wa kufanya kazi za aina zote zifanywazo na mafundi, na wenye kubuni michoro, pia na watarizi kwa rangi za buluu, zambarau, nyekundu na kitani safi, na wafumaji: wote wakiwa mafundi na wabunifu hodari.
He has filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work, of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who does any work, and of designers of designs.”
