1 Bezaleli akatengeneza Sanduku la mbao za mshita: urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu, na kimo chake dhiraa moja na nusu.
And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;
2 Akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulizungushia ukingo wa dhahabu.
Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.
3 Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu na kuzifungia kwenye miguu yake minne, pete mbili kwa upande mmoja na pete mbili kwa upande mwingine.
And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,
4 Kisha akatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
And rods of the same wood plated with gold.
5 Akaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.
These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.
6 Akatengeneza kifuniko cha upatanisho kwa dhahabu safi: urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu.
And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7 Kisha akatengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;
8 Akatengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; akawatengeneza kuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.
9 Makerubi hao walikuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, wakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao walielekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.
10 Akatengeneza meza ya mbao za mshita yenye urefu wa dhiraa mbili, upana wa dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa moja na nusu.
And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;
11 Kisha akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.
12 Pia akatengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na kuufanyia ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.
And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.
13 Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na kuzifungia kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.
And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.
14 Pete hizo ziliwekwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko iliyotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.
The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.
15 Mipiko hiyo ya kubebea meza ilitengenezwa kwa mti wa mshita, na ilikuwa imefunikwa kwa dhahabu.
The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.
16 Vyombo vyote vya mezani vilitengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi: yaani sahani zake, masinia, na bakuli na bilauri zake kwa ajili ya kumiminia sadaka za vinywaji.
And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.
17 Akatengeneza kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi iliyofuliwa vizuri katika kitako chake na ufito wake; vikombe vyake vilivyofanana na ua, matovu na maua vilikuwa kitu kimoja.
Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:
18 Matawi sita yalitokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;
19 Vikombe vitatu vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yenye matovu na maua vilikuwa katika tawi moja, vikombe vitatu katika tawi jingine, na vivyo hivyo kwa matawi yote sita yaliyotokeza kwenye kile kinara cha taa.
Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;
20 Juu ya kinara chenyewe kulikuwepo na vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;
21 Tovu moja lilikuwa 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.
And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.
22 Matovu na matawi yote yalikuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakiwa yamefuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.
23 Akatengeneza taa zake saba, na pia mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote kwa dhahabu safi.
And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.

A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.
25 Akatengeneza madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba kwa mbao za mshita. Ilikuwa ya mraba, urefu na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kimo cha dhiraa mbili, nazo pembe zake zilikuwa kitu kimoja nayo.
And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.
26 Akafunika hayo madhabahu juu na pande zote na pia zile pembe zake kwa dhahabu safi, na akayafanyizia ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka.
The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.
27 Akatengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili ya madhabahu chini ya huo ukingo, zikiwa mbili kila upande, za kushikilia hiyo mipiko iliyotumika kuyabebea madhabahu.
And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting it.
28 Akatengeneza mipiko kwa miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.

And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.
