Kutoka 35
1 Musa akawakusanya jamii yote ya Waisraeli na kuwaambia, “Haya ndio mambo Yahweh aliyo waamuru 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 kazi ya weza fanywa, lakini kwako, siku ya saba lazima iwe siku takatifu, siku ya Sabato ya mapumziko, takatifu kwa Yahweh. Yeyote atakaye fanya kazi hiyo siku 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 Haupaswi kuwasha moto kwenye nyumba zenu siku ya Sabato.”
Do not [even] light a fire in your homes on days of rest.”
4 Musa akasema na jamii yote ya Waisraeli, kwa kusema, “Hichi ndicho kitu Yahweh alicho amuru.
Moses/I also said to all the Israeli people, “This is [also] what Yahweh has commanded:
5 Chukuwa sadaka kwa ajili ya Yahweh, wote wenye moyo mkunjufu. Leta sadaka kwa Yahweh - dhahabu, fedha, shaba,

10 Kila mwanaume mwenye ustadi kati yenu aje na afanye kila kitu ambacho Yahweh aliyaamuru —
“All the skilled workers among you should come and make all the things that Yahweh has commanded:
11 hema la kuabudia, na kifuniko chake, na vifungo vyake, na mbao zake, nguzo, na sakafu;

and the beautiful clothes that Aaron and his sons are to wear when they do their work in the Holy Place.”
20 Kisha makabila yote ya Israeli yakaondoka na kwenda kutoka uweponi mwa Musa.
Then all the Israeli people returned [to their tents].
21 Kila mtu moyo wake ulimchochea na aliye andaliwa na roho yake alikuja na kuleta sadaka kwa Yahweh kwa matengenezo ya hema ya kuabudia, kwa vitu vyote kwajili ya huduma ndani yake, na kwa vazi takatifu.
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 Walikuja, wote wanaume kwa wanawake, wote waliokuwa na moyo wa utayari. Walileta madini, hereni, pete, na vitu vya thamani, vitu vyote tofauti vyenye madini ya dhahabu. Waliwasilisha sadaka za dhahabu kama sadaka ya kupunga kwa Yahweh.
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 alikuwa na sufu ya buluu, dhambarau, au nyekundu, nguo nzuri, singa za mbuzi, ngozi za kondoo zilizobadili kuwa nyekundu, na ngozi ya pomboo walivileta.

29 Waisraeli walileta sadaka ya hiyari kwa Yahweh; kila mwanaume na mwanamke ambao mioyo yao ilikuwa tayari walileta vifaa kwaajili kazi zote ambazo Yahweh aliamuru kupitia Musa zifanyike.
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 Musa alisema kwa waisraeli, “Tazama, Yahweh ameita kwa jina juu ya Bezaleli mwana wa Uri mwana wa Huri, kutoka 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 Aliijaza Bezaleli kwa Roho yake, kumpa hekima, uwelewa, na maarifa, kwa aina zote za ujenzi,
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 kufanya sanaa ya ubunifu na kufanya kazi za dhahabu, shaba, na shaba;
He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.
33 pia kukata na kupanga mawe na mbao iliochongwa- kufanya kazi za aina zote kwa ubunifu na ujenzi.
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 Aliiweka kufundisha ndani ya moyo wake, yeye pamoja na Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki, kutoka kabila la Dani.
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 Aliwajaza kwa ustadi wa kufanya kazi za aina zote, kufanya kazi ya kama kuchora mawe, kama mwerevu, kama mtia taraza katika nyuzi za rangu ya buluu, dhambarau, na nyekundu na nguo nzuri, na kama washonaji. Walikuwa wachonga mawe wa kazi zote, na walikuwa wabunifu wa sanaa.
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.
