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.”
“Bezalel and Oholiab, and all the other men to whom Yahweh has given ability and enabled them to understand how to do all the work to make the Sacred Tent, must make everything just as Yahweh has commanded.”
2 Musa akamuita Bezaleli, Oholiabu, na kila mtu mwenye ujuzi ambaye Yahweh kampa ujuzi, na ambaye moyoni mwake ulichochewa kuja na kufanya kazi.
So Moses/I summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some 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.
Moses/I gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the Sacred Tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.
4 Hivyo watu wote walikuwa na ujuzi walikuwa wakifanya kazi sehemu takatifu walikuja kutoka kwenye kazi walikuwa wakifanya.
As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me
5 Wachonga mawe walimwabia Musa, “Watu wanaleta zaidi sana ya yanayo itajika kufanya kazi Yahweh aliyo tuamuru.”
and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”
6 Hivyo Musa akaamuru mtu yeyote asilete tena kwa ujenzi wa sehemu takatifu. Kisha watu wakaacha kuleta hivi vitu.
So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.
7 Walikuwa na zaidi ya vitu vya ujenzi.
What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!
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.
All the most skilled men among the workmen made the Sacred Tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make figures that resembled the winged creatures.
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.
Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
10 Bezaleli akaunganisha vitambaa vitano pamoja, na vile vitambaa vingine vitano akaviunganisha pamoja.
They sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.
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.
For each set, they made loops of blue [cloth] and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
12 Akafanya vitanzi hamsini kwenye kitambaa kimoja, akafanya vitanzi hamsini kwenye mwisho wa kitambaa kilichokuwa mahali pale pengine pa kuungania, vitanzi hivyo vikiwa vinaelekeana.
They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
13 Mwishowe akafanya kulabu hamsini za dhahabu na kuviunganisha vitambaa hivyo pamoja kwa kulabu hizo, hivi kwamba hiyo ikawa maskani moja.
They made 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the Sacred Tent was [as though it was] one piece.
14 Bezaleli akafanya vitambaa vya mahema vya manyoya ya mbuzi kwa ajili ya hema lililo juu ya maskani. Vitambaa kumi na moja ndivyo alivyofanyiza.
They made a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
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.
Each piece of cloth was (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
16 Kisha akaunganisha vitambaa vitano pamoja na vile vitambaa vingine sita pamoja.
They sewed five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and they sewed the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set.
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.
They made 100 loops [of blue cloth]. They fastened 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
18 Bezaleli akafanya kulabu hamsini za shaba kwa ajili ya kuliunganisha hilo hema pamoja liwe kipande kimoja.
They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.
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.
They made two more covers for the Sacred Tent. They made one from rams’ skins that had been (tanned/dyed red), and they made the top cover from goatskin leather.
20 Bezaleli akafanya viunzi vya mbao vya hema ya kukutani kutokana na mbao za mshita.
They made frames from acacia wood and set them up [to support the covers for the Sacred Tent].
21 Urefu wa kiunzi ulikuwa mikono kumi, nao upana wa kila kiunzi ulikuwa mkono mmoja na nusu.
Each frame was (15 feet/4.5 meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
22 Kila kiunzi kilikuwa na ndimi mbili zilizounganishwa. Hivyo ndivyo alivyofanya viunzi vyote vya maskani.
They made two projections at the bottom of each frame. These were for fastening the frames to the bases underneath them. Each frame had these projections.
23 Basi akafanya viunzi vya maskani, viunzi ishirini kwa ajili ya upande kuelekea kusini.
The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
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.
They made 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.
25 Na kwa ajili ya ule upande mwingine wa maskani, upande wa kaskazini, akafanya viunzi ishirini
[Similarly], they made 20 frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
26 na vikalio vyake arobaini vya fedha. Vikalio viwili chini ya kiunzi kimoja na vikalio viwili chini ya kiunzi kingine
They made 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases for under each frame.
27 Na kwa ajili ya zile pande za nyuma za maskani kuelekea magharibi akafanya viunzi sita.
For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, they made six frames.
28 Naye akafanya viunzi viwili vya pembeni ya maskani kwenye pande zake mbili za nyuma
They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
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.
The two corner frames were joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames they fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
30 Basi vikajumlika kuwa viunzi vinane na vikalio vyake kumi na sita vya fedha, vikalio viwili kando ya vikalio viwili chini ya kila kiunzi.
In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there were eight frames, and there were 16 bases, two bases under each frame.
31 Bezaleli akafanya miti ya mshita, mitano kwa ajili ya viunzi vya upande mmoja wa maskani,
The workmen made 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
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.
Five of them were for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
33 Kisha akafanya mti wa katikati upitie katikati ya vile viunzi toka mwisho mmoja mpaka ule mwingine.
The crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent were fastened to the middle of the frames. The two long crossbars extended from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side extended from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other side.
34 Naye akavifunika vile viunzi kwa dhahabu, akafanyiza pete zake za dhahabu ziwe vitegemezo kwa ajili ya ile miti, akaifunika ile miti kwa dhahabu.
The workmen covered the frames with gold and fastened gold rings to the poles. The crossbars [were put] into the rings. The crossbars were [also] covered with 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.
They made a curtain from fine white linen. Skilled craftsmen embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making designs [that resembled] the winged creatures.
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.
They suspended/hung the curtain from four posts that were made from acacia [wood] and covered with gold. They set [each] post in a silver base.
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.
They made a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They made it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
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.
[To support this curtain], they also made five posts from acacia wood and fastened gold clasps/fasteners to them. They completely covered the posts with gold. They also made a bronze base for each of those posts.
