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.”

So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom Yahweh has given skill and ability to know how to do any work in the construction of the holy place are to do the work according to all that 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.

Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skillful person in whose mind Yahweh had given skill, and whose heart stirred within him to come and do 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.

They received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelites had brought for constructing the holy place. The people were still bringing freewill offerings every morning to Moses.

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

So all the skilled people working on the holy place came from the work that they had been doing.

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

The craftsmen told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for doing the work that Yahweh has commanded us to do.”

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

So Moses instructed that no one in the camp should bring any more offerings for the construction of the holy place. Then the people stopped bringing these gifts.

7 Walikuwa na zaidi ya vitu vya ujenzi.

They had more than enough materials for all the work.

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.

So all the craftsmen among them constructed the tabernacle with ten curtains made from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet wool with the designs of cherubim. This was the work of Bezalel, the very skilled craftsman.

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 each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, the width four cubits. All the curtains were of the same size.

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

Bezalel joined five curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he also joined to each other.

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 loops of blue along the outer edge of the end curtain of one set, and he did the same along the outer edge of the end curtain in the second 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.

He made fifty loops on the first curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. So the loops were opposite to each another.

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

He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together with them so that the tabernacle became united.

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

Bezalel made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of these curtains.

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.

The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain was four cubits. Each of the eleven curtains was of the same size.

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

He joined five curtains to each other and the other six curtains to each other.

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.

He made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain that joined the second set.

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

Bezalel made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be one piece.

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 for the tabernacle a covering of ram skins dyed red, another covering of fine leather to go above that.

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

Bezalel made vertical frames out of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

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

The length of each frame was ten cubits, and the width of each frame was one and a half cubits.

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

Each frame had two wooden pegs for joining the frames together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.

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

He made the frames for the tabernacle in this way: twenty frames for the south side.

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.

Bezalel made forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames. There were two bases under one frame to join the frames together, and also two bases under each of the other frames to join frames together.

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

For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames

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

and their forty silver bases. There were two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

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

For the back of the tabernacle on the west, Bezalel made six frames.

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

He made two frames for the back corners of the tabernacle.

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.

These frames were separate at the bottom, but joined at the top in one ring. He made two of them in this way for the two 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.

There were eight frames, together with their silver bases. There were sixteen bases in all, two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

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

Bezalel made crossbars of acacia wood—five for the frames of the 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.

five crossbars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the frames for the back side of the tabernacle to the west.

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

He made the crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, to reach from end to end.

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

He covered the frames with gold. He made their rings of gold, for them to serve as holders for the crossbars, and he covered the bars 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.

Bezalel made the curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen, with designs of cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

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.

He made for the curtain four pillars of acacia wood, and he covered them with gold. He also made gold hooks for the pillars, and he cast for them four silver bases.

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 a hanging for the tent entrance. It was made of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, using fine linen, 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.

He also made the hanging's five pillars with hooks. He covered their tops and their rods with gold. Their five bases were made of bronze.
