Kutoka 35
1 Mose akakusanya jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli na kuwaambia, “Haya ndiyo mambo ambayo Bwana amewaamuru ninyi mfanye:
Moses/I gathered all the Israeli people together and said to them, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do:
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.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. It is a sacred day, dedicated to Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on the seventh day must be executed.
3 Msiwashe moto mahali popote katika makazi yenu siku ya Sabato.”
Do not [even] light a fire in your homes on days of rest.”
4 Mose akaiambia jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli, “Hili ndilo Bwana aliloamuru:
Moses/I also said to all the Israeli people, “This is [also] what Yahweh has commanded:
5 Toeni sadaka kwa Bwana kutoka mali mliyo nayo. Kila mmoja aliye na moyo wa kupenda atamletea Bwana sadaka ya dhahabu, fedha na shaba;

10 “Wote wenye ujuzi miongoni mwenu inawapasa kuja na kutengeneza kila kitu Bwana alichoamuru:
“All the skilled workers among you should come and make all the things that Yahweh has commanded:
11 Maskani pamoja na hema lake na kifuniko chake, vibanio, mihimili, mataruma, nguzo na vitako;

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.”
and the beautiful clothes that Aaron and his sons are to wear when they do their work in the Holy Place.”
20 Ndipo jumuiya yote ya Waisraeli ilipoondoka mbele ya Mose,
Then all the Israeli people returned [to their tents].
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.
Everyone who wanted to brought an offering to Yahweh. They brought some of the things that would be used to make the Sacred Tent and all the other items that would be used in the rituals, and the materials to make the sacred clothes [for the priests].
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.
All the men and women who wanted to brought gold ornaments, earrings, rings, necklaces, and many other kinds of things made of gold, and they dedicated them to Yahweh.
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 many [HYP] people who had blue, purple, or red cloth or fine white linen or cloth made from goats’ hair or rams’ skins that were (tanned/dyed red) or leather made from goatskins brought some of these things.
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.
All those who had silver or bronze brought them as offerings to Yahweh. All those who had some acacia wood that could be used for any of the work brought it.
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.
All the women who were skilled to make cloth brought fine linen thread and blue, purple, or red yarn/thread that they had made/spun.
26 Wanawake wote waliopenda na waliokuwa na ujuzi wakasokota singa za mbuzi.
And all the women who wanted to made/spun thread from 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.
All the leaders brought valuable onyx stones and other valuable stones to be fastened to Aaron’s sacred apron and his sacred chest pouch.
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.
They also brought spices [to put in the sweet-smelling incense], and they brought olive oil for the lamps and for the oil for anointing and for putting in the sweet-smelling 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.
All the Israeli men and women who wanted to brought these things to offer them to Yahweh, for doing the work that he had commanded Moses/me to do.
30 Kisha Mose akawaambia Waisraeli, “Tazameni, Bwana amemchagua Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila la Yuda,
Moses/I said to the Israeli people, “Listen carefully. Yahweh has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
31 naye amemjaza Roho wa Mungu, pamoja na ustadi, na uwezo na ujuzi katika aina zote za ufundi,
Yahweh has enabled his Spirit to completely control Bezalel and has given him ability and enabled him to know how to do very skilled work.
32 ili kubuni michoro ya kupendeza katika ufundi wa dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.
33 kuchonga vito na kuvitia mahali, kufanya ufundi kwa mbao, na kujishughulisha na aina zote za ufundi wa kupendeza.
He can cut (jewels/valuable stones) and enclose them [in tiny gold frames]. He can carve things from wood and do other skilled work.
34 Tena amempa yeye pamoja na Oholiabu, mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila la Dani, uwezo wa kufundisha wengine.
Yahweh has also given to him and to Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others.
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 given to them the ability to do all kinds of work that is done by craftsmen—those who create artistic things, those who make fine white linen, those who embroider designs using blue or purple or red yarn/thread, and those who make other cloth. They are able to do many [HYP] kinds of skillful work.
