Kutoka 25
1 Yahweh akamwambia Musa,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Waambie Waisraeli wanitolee sadaka kila mtu nawe utapokea kutoka kwa mtu yeyote atakayetoa kwa moyo mkunjufu. Lazima upokee hizi sadaka kwa ajili yangu.
Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take for me an offering; of every man whose heart makes him willing ye shall take my offering.
3 Hizi ndio sadaka utakazopokea kwao; dhahabu, fedha na shaba,
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,
4 buluu, zambarau na nyekundu, na nguo za kitani safi, na manyoya ya mbuzi;
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5 na ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu na ngozi za pomboo, miti ya mjohoro,
and rams' skins dyed red, and certain skins, and acacia wood,
6 mafuta ya ile taa, na viungo vya manukato kwa yale mafuta ya kupaka na kwa ule uvumba wenye harufu nzuri;
oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
7 mawe ya shohamu na mawe mengine ya kutiwa kwa ile naivera na kwa kile kifuko cha kifuani.
onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
8 Waache wanifanyie patakatifu ili nipate kukaa kati yao.
And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9 Lazima ufanye sawa na haya yote nikuoneshayo mfano wa maskani, na vifaa vyake, ndivyo utakavyovifanya.
According to all that I show thee: the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so shall ye make it.
10 Wana paswa wafanye sanduku la mti wa mjohoro. Urefu wake na uwe dhiraa mbili na nusu; na upana wake moja na nusu, na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa moja na nusu.
And they shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half shall be the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
11 Lazima ulifunike nadni kwa dhahabu safi, na utie na ukingo wa dhahabu kulizunguka pande zote.
And thou shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside thou shall overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12 Nawe uta yayusha katika viduara vinne vya dhahabu, na kuviweka katika miguu yake minne; viduara viwili upande mmoja, na viduara viwili upande wake wa pili.
And thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet of it. And two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
13 Nawe lazima ufanya miti mirefu ya mshita na kuifunika dhahabu.
And thou shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
14 Nawe lazima uweka hiyo miti katika vile viduara vilivyo katika pande mbili za sanduku ili kulichukua hilo sanduku.
And thou shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.
15 Hiyo miti itakaa katika vile viduara vya sanduku; haitaondolewa.
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.
16 Kisha weka ndani ya sanduku hizo amri nitakazokupa.
And thou shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17 Nawe lazima utengeneze kifuniko cha dhahabu safi. Urefu wake utakuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wake dhiraa moja na nusu.
And thou shall make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it.
18 Nawe fanya makerubi mawili ya dhahabu katika hiyo miisho miwili ya kiti cha rehema.
And thou shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shall thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.
19 Weka kerubi moja mwisho mmoja wa kiti cha rehema, na kerubi la pili mwisho wa pili. Lazima hao makerubi wawe kitu kimoja na kiti cha rehema.
And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat ye shall make the cherubim on the two ends of it.
20 Na hao makerubi watainua mabawa yao juu, na kukifunika hicho kiti cha rehema kwa mabawa yao. Nyuso zao makerubi zitaelekeana na zitaelekea kiti cha rehema.
And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy-seat.
21 Lazima uweke kiti cha rehema juu ya hilo sanduku, kisha uwe hizo amri nitakazokupa ndani ya sanduku.
And thou shall put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark thou shall put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22 Nami nitaonana nawe hapo katika sanduku. Nitazungumza nawe pale nilipo juu ya kiti cha rehema. Itakuwa katikati ya hao makerubi mawili waliyo juu ya sanduku la ushuhuda nitakapo zungumza na wewe katika mambo yote nitakayokuagiza kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli.
And there I will meet with thee. And I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the sons of Israel.
23 Nawe fanya meza ya mti wa mshiti. Urefu wake utakuwa dhiraa mbili, na upana wake dhiraa moja, na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa moja na nusu.
And thou shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
24 Uifunike dhahabu safi na kuifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu wa kuizunguka pande zote.
And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25 Lazima ufanyie fremu ya kuizunguka pande zote, upana wake utakuwa nyanda nne, ukingo wa dhahabu wa kuuzunguka fremu pande zote.
And thou shall make to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shall make a golden crown to the border of it round about.
26 Uifanyie viduara vinne vya dhahabu na kuvitia vile viduara katika pembe zake nne, katika miguu yake minne ilipo kuwa.
And thou shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it.
27 Vile viduara na viwe karibu na ile fremu ili viwe mahali pa kutilia ile miti, ya kuichukulia meza.
The rings shall be close by the border, for places for the staves to bear the table.
28 Fanya ile miti ya mti wa mshita, na kuifunika dhahabu, kwamba ile meza ichukuliwe kwayo.
And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29 Nawe fanya sahani zake, na miiko yake, na makopo yake, na vikombe vyake vya kumiminia. Vifanye vyote vya dhahabu safi.
And thou shall make the dishes of it, and the spoons of it, and the pitchers of it, and the bowls of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold thou shall make them.
30 Nawe utaiweka mikate ya wonyesho juu ya meza mbele yangu daima.
And thou shall set upon the table showbread before me always.
31 Nawe fanya kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi; hicho kinara na kifanywe cha kazi ya kufua, kitako chake, na mti wake, vikombe vyake, na matovu yake, na maua yake, vyote vitakuwa vya kitu kimoja nacho.
And thou shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of beaten work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.
32 Nacho kitakuwa na matawi sita yenye kutoka ubavuni mwake - matawi matatu ya kinara upande wake mmoja, na matawi matatu ya kinara upande wake wa pili.
And there shall be six branches going out of the sides of it, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it:
33 Tawi la kwanza lazima liwe na vikombe vitatu vilivyotengenezwa mfano wa maua ya mlozi katika tawi moja, tovu na ua na vikombe vitatu vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi katika tawi la pili, tovu na ua. Vivyo hivyo hayo matawi yote sita yatokayo katika kile kinara.
three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand,
34 Katika hicho kinara, lazima kuwe na vikombe vinne vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi, matovu yake, na maua yake.
and in the lampstand four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it.
35 Lazima kuwe na tovu chini ya matawi - mawili la kitu kimoja nacho, na tovu chini ya matawi mawili la kitu kimoja nacho, na tovu chini ya matawi mawili la kitu kimoja nacho, kwa hayo matawi sita yatokayo katika kile kinara.
And a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
36 Matovu yake na matawi yake yatakuwa ya kitu kimoja nacho, kiwe chote pia kazi moja ya kufua, ya dhahabu safi.
Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.
37 Lazima nawe uzifanye hivyo vinara saba na taa zake saba, nao wataziwasha hizo taa zake, zitoe nuru mbele yake.
And thou shall make the lamps of it, seven. And they shall light the lamps of it, to give light in front of it.
38 Na makoleo yake, na visahani vyake, vyote vitakuwa vya dhahabu safi.
And the snuffers of it, and the snuff dishes of it, shall be of pure gold.
39 Tumia talanta moja ya dhahabu safi, pamoja na vyombo hivi vyote.
Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels.
40 Nawe angalia ya kwamba uvifanye kama mfano wake, uliooneshwa mlimani.
And see that thou make them according to their pattern that has been shown thee on the mountain.
