Kutoka 31
1 Yahweh akasema na Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Angalia, nimemwita kwa jina lake Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila ya Yuda
Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.
3 Nami nimemjaza Bezaleli na roho ya Mungu, katika hekima, na maarifa, na ujuzi, na mambo ya kazi ya kila aina,
And I have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,
4 ili abuni kazi za ustadi, kuwa fundi wa dhahabu, na wa fedha, na wa shaba,
and to frame works, to labor in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
5 na kukata vito kwa kutiwa mahali, na kuchora miti, na kufanya kazi ya ustadi iwayo yote.
and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.
6 Tena, nimemchagua, awe pamoja naye Oholiabu, mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila ya Dani. Nami nimetia hekima katika mioyo ya wote wenye moyo wa hekima, ili wapate kufanya vyote nilivyokuagiza. Hii ni,
And I have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed you, —
7 hema ya kukutania na sanduku la ushuhuda, na kiti cha rehema kilicho juu yake, na vyombo vyote vya Hema;
the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 na meza, na vyombo vyake, na kinara cha taa safi pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote,
and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,
9 na madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba; na madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake vyote, na birika na tako lake.
and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,
10 Pia mavazi yenye kufumwa kwa uzuri, na mavazi matakatifu ya Haruni kuhani, na mavazi ya wanawe, ili kutumika katika kazi ya ukuhani.
and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,
11 Pia mafuta ya kutiwa, na uvumba wa manukato mazuri, kwa ajili ya mahali patakatifu; sawasawa na yote niliyokuagiza ndivyo watakavyofanya wao.
and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded you shall they make them.
12 akasema na Musa,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13 “Waambie wana wa Israeli, 'Hakika mtazishika Sabato zangu, kwa kuwa ni ishara kati ya mimi na ninyi katika vizazi vyenu vyote; ili mpate kujua ya kuwa mimi ndimi BWANA niwatakasaye ninyi.
Do you also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.
14 Basi mtaishika hiyo Sabato; kwa kuwa ni takatifu kwenu; kila mtu atakayeitia unajisi hakika yake atauawa; kwa kuwa kila mtu afanyaye kazi katika siku hiyo, nafsi hiyo itakatiliwa mbali na watu wake.
And you shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people.
15 Kazi itafanywa siku sita; lakini siku ya saba ni Sabato ya kustarehe kabisa, takatifu kwa BWANA; kila mtu atakayefanya kazi yo yote katika siku ya Sabato, hakika yake atauawa.
Six days you shall do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death.
16 Kwa ajili ya hayo wana wa Israeli wataishika Sabato. Kuiangalia sana hiyo Sabato katika vizazi vyao vyote, ni agano la milele.
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.
17 Ni ishara kati ya mimi na wana wa Israeli milele; kwani kwa siku sita Yahweh alifanya mbingu na nchi, akastarehe kwa siku ya saba na kupumzika.
It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.
18 Hapo Mungu alipokuwa amekwisha zungumza na Musa katika mlima wa Sinai, akampa hizo mbao mbili za ushuhuda, mbao mbili za mawe, zilizoandikwa kwa mkono wake.
And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God.
