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 Bezaleel made the ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits and a half [was] the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the hight of it:
2 Akalifunika kwa dhahabu safi ndani na nje, na kulizungushia ukingo wa dhahabu.
And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
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 cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4 Kisha akatengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu.
And he made staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5 Akaiingiza hiyo mipiko kwenye zile pete katika pande mbili za Sanduku ili kulibeba.
And he put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
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 mercy-seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a half [was] the length of it, and one cubit and a half the breadth of it.
7 Kisha akatengeneza makerubi wawili wa dhahabu iliyofuliwa katika miisho ya hicho kifuniko.
And he made two cherubim [of] gold, beaten out of one piece he made them, on the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8 Akatengeneza kerubi mmoja kwenye mwisho mmoja, na kerubi mwingine kwenye mwisho mwingine; akawatengeneza kuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kifuniko katika miisho hiyo miwili.
One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the [other] end on that side: out of the mercy-seat made he the cherubim on the two ends of it.
9 Makerubi hao walikuwa wametandaza mabawa kuelekea juu, wakitia kivuli hicho kifuniko. Makerubi hao walielekeana, wakitazama hicho kifuniko.
And the cherubim spread out [their] wings on high, [and] covered with their wings over the mercy-seat, with their faces one to another; [even] towards the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.
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] shittim wood: two cubits [was] its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its hight:
11 Kisha akaifunika kwa dhahabu safi, na kuitengenezea ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made to it a crown of gold round about.
12 Pia akatengeneza upapi wenye upana wa nyanda nne, na kuufanyia ule upapi ukingo wa dhahabu kuuzunguka pande zote.
Also he made to it a border of a hand-breadth round about; and made a crown of gold for its border round about.
13 Akasubu pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza hiyo, na kuzifungia kwenye pembe nne, pale penye miguu yake minne.
And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that [were] in its four feet.
14 Pete hizo ziliwekwa karibu na ukingo ule ili kuishikilia ile mipiko iliyotumika kuibebea hiyo meza.
Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staffs, to bear the table.
15 Mipiko hiyo ya kubebea meza ilitengenezwa kwa mti wa mshita, na ilikuwa imefunikwa kwa dhahabu.
And he made the staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
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 he made the vessels which [were] upon the table, its dishes, and its spoons, and its bowls, and its covers to cover with, [of] pure 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.
And he made the candlestick of pure gold; [of] beaten work he made the candlestick; its shaft, and its branch, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers were of the same:
18 Matawi sita yalitokeza kuanzia ule ufito wa katikati wa kinara cha taa: matawi matatu upande mmoja na matatu upande mwingine.
And six branches proceeding from its sides; three branches of the candlestick from the one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side of it.
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.
Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knob and a flower: so throughout the six branches proceeding from the candlestick.
20 Juu ya kinara chenyewe kulikuwepo na vikombe vinne vya mfano wa maua ya mlozi yakiwa na matovu yake na maua yake.
And in the candlestick [were] four bowls made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers:
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 a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, according to the six branches proceeding from it.
22 Matovu na matawi yote yalikuwa kitu kimoja na kile kinara cha taa, yakiwa yamefuliwa kwa dhahabu safi.
Their knobs and their branches were of the same: all of it [was] one beaten work [of] pure gold.
23 Akatengeneza taa zake saba, na pia mikasi ya kusawazishia tambi, pamoja na masinia, zote kwa dhahabu safi.
And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, [of] pure gold.
24 Akatengeneza kinara hicho cha taa pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote kutumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi.
[Of] a talent of pure gold he made it, and all 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 incense-altar [of] shittim wood: the length of it [was] a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; [it was] foursquare; and two cubits [was] the hight of it; the horns of it were 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.
And he overlaid it with pure gold, [both] the top of it, and its sides round about, and its horns: also he made to it a crown of gold round about.
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 rings of gold for it under its crown, by the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the staffs to bear it with.
28 Akatengeneza mipiko kwa miti ya mshita na kuifunika kwa dhahabu.
