ʻEkisotosi 25

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke nau ʻomi kiate au ʻae meʻaʻofa; pea ʻilonga ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku foaki loto lelei pe, te mou maʻu mei ai ʻeku meʻaʻofa.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, so that they may take the first-fruits to me. You shall accept these from every man who offers of his own accord.

3 Pea ko e meʻaʻofa ʻeni te mou maʻu ʻiate kinautolu; ko e koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa.

Now these are the things that you must accept: Gold, and silver, and brass,

4 Mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e silika, mo e fulufuluʻi kosi,

hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,

5 Mo e kili ʻoe sipitangata kuo tuku kula, mo e kili ʻoe pasa, mo e ʻakau ko e sitimi,

and the skins of rams, dyed red, and skins of violet, and setim wood,

6 Mo e lolo ke maama ʻaki, mo e ʻakau nanamu ki he lolo tākai, pea ki he meʻa namu kakala.

oil to prepare lights, aromatics as ointments and sweet-smelling incense,

7 Ko e maka ko e oniki, mo e maka ke ʻai ki he ʻefoti, pea ki he sifa fatafata.

onyx stones and gems to adorn the ephod as well as the breastplate.

8 Pea tuku ke nau ngaohi kiate au ʻae Potu Toputapu; koeʻuhi ke u nofo ʻiate kinautolu.

And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I will live in their midst.

9 Te mou ngaohi ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē te u fakahā kiate koe, ki he fakatātā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, mo e fakatātā ʻo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē.

According to exact likeness of the tabernacle, and all of the vessels for its rituals, that I will reveal to you, so shall you make it.

10 “Pea te nau ngaohi ha puha ʻoe ʻakau ko e sitimi: ko e hanga ʻe nima mo e toe ʻa hono lōloa ʻo ia, pea ko e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māukupu, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māʻolunga.

Join together an ark of setim wood, whose length shall hold two and one half cubits; the width, one and one half cubits; the height, likewise, one and one half cubits.

11 Pea ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa, ke ke ʻaofi ia ʻi loto mo tuʻa, pea ke ngaohi ʻi ai ʻae tatā koula ke takatakai.

And you shall overlay it with the finest gold, inside and out. And over it, you shall fashion a gold crown all around,

12 Pea te ke ngaohi hono kavei koula ʻe fā, ʻo ʻai ia ki hono tuliki ʻe fā; ʻe ai ʻae kavei ʻe ua ʻi hono faʻahi ʻe taha, mo e kavei ʻe ua ʻi hono faʻahi ʻe taha.

and four gold rings, which you shall set into the four corners of the ark. Let two rings be on one side and two on the other.

13 Pea ke ngaohi ʻae ongo haʻamo mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula.

Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.

14 Pea ke velo ʻae haʻamo ki he kavei ʻi he potu ʻe ua ʻoe puha, koeʻuhi ke haʻamo ʻaki ʻae puha.

And you shall put them through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, so that it may be carried on them.

15 ‌ʻE tuku maʻuaipē ʻae ongo haʻamo ʻi he kavei ʻoe puha: ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻo ʻave ia mei ai.

These must always be in the rings, neither shall they ever be drawn out of them.

16 Pea te ke ai ki he loto puha ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia te u ʻatu kiate koe.

And you shall place the testimony, which I will give to you, in the ark.

17 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa: ko e hanga ʻe nima ʻa hono lōloa ʻo ia, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māukupu.

You shall also make a propitiatory of the finest gold. Its length shall hold two and one half cubits, and the width, one and one half cubits.

18 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae selupimi koula ʻe ua, ke ke ngaohi ia ʻaki ʻae koula tuki, ʻi hono tā ʻe ua ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa.

Likewise, you shall make two Cherubim of formed gold, on both sides of the oracle.

19 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae selupi ʻe taha[ke tuʻu ]ʻi he tā ʻe taha, mo e selupi ʻe taha [ke tuʻu ]ʻi he tā ʻe taha; ʻe ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻae ongo selupimi ʻi hono tā ʻe ua ʻo ia.

Let one Cherub be on the one side, and the other be on the other.

20 Pea ʻe mafola atu hona kapakau ʻi ʻolunga ʻe he ongo selupimi, ke maluʻi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻaki hona kapakau, pea ʻe fehangaʻaki hona mata, ʻo na femamataʻaki; pea ʻe hanga ki he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻae mata ʻoe ongo selupimi.

And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,

21 Pea te ke hilifaki ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ki ʻolunga ki he funga puha; pea te ke ʻai ki loto ʻi he puha ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava ʻaia te u ʻatu kiate koe.

in which you will place the testimony that I will give to you.

22 Pea te u fakafetaulaki ʻi ai kiate koe, pea te tā lea ai mo koe mei ʻolunga ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa, mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupimi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te u fekau atu ai kiate koe, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.

23 “Pea te ke ngaohi foki ʻae palepale mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi: ko e hanga ʻe fā ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe ua ʻa hono māukupu ʻo ia, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māʻolunga.

You shall also make a table of setim wood, having two cubits of length, and one cubit in width, and one cubit and one half cubits in height.

24 Pea te ke ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa, mo ke ngaohi ʻi ai ʻae tatā koula ke takatakai.

And you shall overlay it with the purest gold. And you shall make it with a gold lip all around,

25 Pea te ke ngaohi ki ai hono tapa takatakai ko e ʻaofinima ʻe taha hono lau lahi; pea ke ngaohi ha tatā takatakai.

and for the lip itself an engraved crown, four fingers high, and above it another little gold crown.

26 Pea te ke ngaohi hono kavei koula ʻe fā, pea ʻai ʻae kavei ki hono tuliki ʻe fā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono vaʻe ʻe fā.

Likewise, you shall prepare four gold rings and set them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.

27 ‌ʻE tuʻu hanga tonu atu ʻae ngaahi kavei mo hono tapa ke velo ai ʻae ʻakau ke haʻamo ʻaki ʻae palepale.

Under the crown, there shall be gold rings, so that the bars may be put through them and the table may be carried.

28 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae haʻamo ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula, ke haʻamo ʻaki ʻae palepale.

Likewise, the bars themselves you shall make of setim wood, and surround them with gold, to lift up the table.

29 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻa hono ngaahi ipu, mo hono ngaahi meʻa ohu, mo hono ngaahi tāpuni, mo hono ngaahi ipu luoluo, ke lingi ki ai: ke ke ngaohi ia kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa.

You shall also prepare small cups, as well as bowls, censers, and measuring cups, with which the libations shall be offered, out of the purest gold.

30 Pea te ke hili maʻuaipē ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao ki he palepale ʻi hoku ʻao.

And you shall place upon the table the bread of the presence, in my sight always.

31 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga maama koula haohaoa: ʻe ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga maama ʻaki ʻae ngāue tuki: ko hono kau, mo hono ngaahi pasanga mo hono ngaahi ipu siʻi, mo hono ngaahi teunga potopoto, mo hono ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau, ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia.

You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.

32 Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae pasanga ʻe ono mei hono potu ʻe ua: ko e pasanga ʻe tolu mei he potu ʻe taha ʻoe tuʻunga maama, mo e pasanga ʻe tolu mei he potu kehe ʻoe tuʻunga maama:

Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.

33 Ko e ipu ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻe tolu kuo ngaohi ʻo hangē ko e fuaʻi telie, ko e teunga potopoto mo hono fisiʻiʻakau ʻi he pasanga ʻe taha; mo e ipu ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻe tolu kuo ngaohi ʻo hangē ko e fuaʻi telie ʻi he pasanga ʻe taha, mo hono teunga potopoto mo hono fisiʻiʻakau: pea ʻe pehē pe ʻi he pasanga ʻe ono ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tuʻunga maama.

Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.

34 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻae ipu ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻe fā ʻi he tuʻunga maama kuo ngaohi ʻo hangē ko e fuaʻi telie mo honau ngaahi teunga potopoto mo hono ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau.

Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.

35 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻae teunga potopoto ʻe taha ʻi lalo ʻi he pasanga ʻe ua, mo e teunga potopoto ʻe taha ʻi lalo ʻi he pasanga ʻe ua, mo e teunga potopoto ʻe taha ʻi lalo ʻi he pasanga ʻe ua, ʻo fakatatau ki he pasanga ʻe ono ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tuʻunga maama.

Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.

36 Ko honau ngaahi teunga potopoto mo e ngaahi pasanga, ʻe ngaohi ia kotoa pē ʻi he koula haohaoa kuo tuki.

Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.

37 Pea te ke ngaohi hono foʻi maama ʻe fitu ʻo ia: pea te nau tutu ʻae maama ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ke nau fakamaama ʻae potu ko ia.

You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.

38 Pea ko hono helekosi, mo hono ʻaiʻanga efu; ʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa.

Likewise, the candle snuffers, and the place where the candles will be extinguished, shall be made from the purest gold.

39 Te ne ngaohi ia mo e ngaahi ipu ni kotoa pē, ʻaki ʻae taleniti koula haohaoa pe taha.

The entire weight of the candlestick, with all its parts, shall hold one talent of the purest gold.

40 Pea vakai ʻe koe, ke ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki hono fakatātā, ʻaia naʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻi he moʻunga.

Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain.”
