Kutoka 36

1 Hivyo Bezaleli na Oholiabu na kila mtu mwenye ustadi ambaye Yahweh aliye mpa ustadi na uwezo kujua jinsi ya kufanya kazi katika ujenzi wa sehemu takatifu wafanye kazi kadiri ya yote Yahweh aliyo amuru.”

Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.

2 Musa akamuita Bezaleli, Oholiabu, na kila mtu mwenye ujuzi ambaye Yahweh kampa ujuzi, na ambaye moyoni mwake ulichochewa kuja na kufanya kazi.

And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,

3 Walipokea kutoka kwa Musa sadaka zote ambazo Waisraeli walizo leta kwa ujenzi ya sehemu takatifu. Watu walikuwa bado wanaleta sadaka za hiari kila asubui kwa Musa.

He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.

4 Hivyo watu wote walikuwa na ujuzi walikuwa wakifanya kazi sehemu takatifu walikuja kutoka kwenye kazi walikuwa wakifanya.

Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,

5 Wachonga mawe walimwabia Musa, “Watu wanaleta zaidi sana ya yanayo itajika kufanya kazi Yahweh aliyo tuamuru.”

Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.

6 Hivyo Musa akaamuru mtu yeyote asilete tena kwa ujenzi wa sehemu takatifu. Kisha watu wakaacha kuleta hivi vitu.

Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,

7 Walikuwa na zaidi ya vitu vya ujenzi.

Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.

8 Hivyo wachonga mawe miongoni mwao wakajenga lile hema la kuabudia kwa mapazia kumi yaliyo jengwa kitamba kizuri na buluu, zambarau, na sufu nyekundu kwa aina ya kerubi. Hii ni kazi ya Bezaleli, mjenzi mwenye ujuzi sana.

And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:

9 Urefu wa kila pazia ulikuwa mikono ishirini na nane, nao upana wa kila kitambaa ulikuwa mikono minne. Vitambaa vyote hivyo vilikuwa na kipimo kimoja.

The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.

10 Bezaleli akaunganisha vitambaa vitano pamoja, na vile vitambaa vingine vitano akaviunganisha pamoja.

And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.

11 Kisha akafanya vitanzi vya uzi wa bluu kwenye upindo wa kitambaa kilicho mahali pa kuungania. Akafanya vivyo hivyo kwenye upindo wa kitambaa cha nje kabisa kilicho mahali pale pengine pa kuungania.

He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,

12 Akafanya vitanzi hamsini kwenye kitambaa kimoja, akafanya vitanzi hamsini kwenye mwisho wa kitambaa kilichokuwa mahali pale pengine pa kuungania, vitanzi hivyo vikiwa vinaelekeana.

That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.

13 Mwishowe akafanya kulabu hamsini za dhahabu na kuviunganisha vitambaa hivyo pamoja kwa kulabu hizo, hivi kwamba hiyo ikawa maskani moja.

Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.

14 Bezaleli akafanya vitambaa vya mahema vya manyoya ya mbuzi kwa ajili ya hema lililo juu ya maskani. Vitambaa kumi na moja ndivyo alivyofanyiza.

He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:

15 Urefu wa kila kitambaa ulikuwa mikono thelathini, nao upana wa kila kitambaa ulikuwa mikono minne. Vitambaa hivyo kumi na moja vilikuwa na kipimo kimoja.

One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.

16 Kisha akaunganisha vitambaa vitano pamoja na vile vitambaa vingine sita pamoja.

Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.

17 Kisha akafanya vitanzi hamsini kwenye upindo wa kitambaa cha nje kabisa kilicho mahali pa kuungania, naye akafanya vitanzi hamsini kwenye upindo wa kile kitambaa kingine kilichoungana nacho.

And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.

18 Bezaleli akafanya kulabu hamsini za shaba kwa ajili ya kuliunganisha hilo hema pamoja liwe kipande kimoja.

And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.

19 Naye akafanya kifuniko cha hema kutokana na ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu na kifuniko kutokana na ngozi za sili, upande wa juu.

He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.

20 Bezaleli akafanya viunzi vya mbao vya hema ya kukutani kutokana na mbao za mshita.

He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.

21 Urefu wa kiunzi ulikuwa mikono kumi, nao upana wa kila kiunzi ulikuwa mkono mmoja na nusu.

The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.

22 Kila kiunzi kilikuwa na ndimi mbili zilizounganishwa. Hivyo ndivyo alivyofanya viunzi vyote vya maskani.

There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 Basi akafanya viunzi vya maskani, viunzi ishirini kwa ajili ya upande kuelekea kusini.

Of which twenty were at the south side southward,

24 Bezaleli akafanya vikalio arobaini vya fedha viwe chini ya vile viunzi ishirini, vikalio viwili chini ya kiunzi kimoja pamoja na ndimi zake mbili na vikalio vingine viwili chini ya kiunzi kingine pamoja na ndimi zake mbili.

With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.

25 Na kwa ajili ya ule upande mwingine wa maskani, upande wa kaskazini, akafanya viunzi ishirini

At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.

26 na vikalio vyake arobaini vya fedha. Vikalio viwili chini ya kiunzi kimoja na vikalio viwili chini ya kiunzi kingine

With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.

27 Na kwa ajili ya zile pande za nyuma za maskani kuelekea magharibi akafanya viunzi sita.

But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,

28 Naye akafanya viunzi viwili vya pembeni ya maskani kwenye pande zake mbili za nyuma

And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:

29 Hizi zilikuwa pacha upande wa chini, lakini juu ya kila moja kwenye pete ya kwanza. Hivyo ndivyo alivyoifanya yote miwili, ile miimo ya pembeni.

Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:

30 Basi vikajumlika kuwa viunzi vinane na vikalio vyake kumi na sita vya fedha, vikalio viwili kando ya vikalio viwili chini ya kila kiunzi.

So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.

31 Bezaleli akafanya miti ya mshita, mitano kwa ajili ya viunzi vya upande mmoja wa maskani,

He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

32 na miti mitano kwa ajili ya viunzi vya upande ule mwingine wa maskani na miti mitano kwa ajili ya viunzi vya maskani kwa ajili ya zile pande mbili za nyuma za magharibi.

And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.

33 Kisha akafanya mti wa katikati upitie katikati ya vile viunzi toka mwisho mmoja mpaka ule mwingine.

He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.

34 Naye akavifunika vile viunzi kwa dhahabu, akafanyiza pete zake za dhahabu ziwe vitegemezo kwa ajili ya ile miti, akaifunika ile miti kwa dhahabu.

And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.

35 Bezaleli akafanya pazia, la uzi wa bluu na sufu iliyotiwa rangi ya zambarau na kitambaa cha rangi nyekundu ya kochinili na kitani bora kilichosokotwa, kalitia makerubi kwa kazi ya mjenzi.

He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:

36 Kisha akalifanyia nguzo nne za mshita na kuzifunika kwa dhahabu, vibanio vyake vikiwa vya dhahabu, na kutengeneza vikalio vinne vya fedha kwa ajili yake.

And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.

37 Naye akafanya kisitiri kwa ajili ya mwingilio wa hema kutokana na uzi wa bluu na sufu iliyotiwa rangi ya zambarau na kitambaa chenye rangi nyekundu ya kochinili na kitani bora kilichosokotwa, kazi ya mfumaji.

He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.

38 Pia akafanya na nguzo zake tano na vibanio vyake. Naye akavifunika vilele vyake na viungo vyake kwa dhahabu, lakini vile vikalio vyake vitano vilikuwa vya shaba.

And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
