ʻEkisotosi 26

1 “Pea te ke ngaohi foki ʻae fale fehikitaki mo e puipui ʻe hongofulu ʻaki ʻae tupenu tuʻovalevale, mo e lanu moana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho: mo e selupimi kuo ngaohi fakapotopoto.

“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

2 Ko hono lōloa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha, ko e hanga ʻe nimangofulu ma ono, mo hono māukupu ʻoe puipui pe taha ko e hanga ʻe valu: pea ʻe fuofua tatau pe ʻae ngaahi puipui kotoa pē.

Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide —all curtains the same size.

3 Pea ko e puipui ʻe nima ʻe fakahoko ʻae taha ki he taha; pea ko e puipui kehe ʻe nima ʻe fakahoko ʻae taha ki he taha.

Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

4 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kavei lanumoana ki he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha mei he kapa ʻi he hokoʻanga; pea ke fai pehē pe, ʻi he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha, ʻi he hokoʻanga ʻo hono ua.

Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

5 Ke ke ngaohi ʻae kavei ʻe nimangofulu ki he puipui ʻe taha, pea mo e kavei ʻe nimangofulu ki he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻoku ʻi he hokoʻanga ʻo hono ua: koeʻuhi ke fehokotaki ia.

Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

6 Pea ke ngaohi ʻae fakamaʻu koula ʻe nimangofulu, ke fakahoko ʻaki ʻae puipui pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fale fehikitaki pe taha.

Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

7 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi puipui mei he fulufuluʻi kosi ke fakapulonga ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki: ke ke ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻe hongofulu ma taha.

You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

8 Ko hono lōloa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu, mo hono māukupu ʻo ia, ko e hanga ʻe valu: pea ʻe fua tatau pe ʻae puipui ʻe hongofulu ma taha.

Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

9 Pea ke hokohoko ʻae puipui ʻe nima ke taha pe, mo e puipui ʻe ono ke fakataha, pea ke peluki hono ono ʻoe puipui ʻi he ʻao ʻoe mata fale fehikitaki.

Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

10 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae kavei ʻe nimangofulu ʻi he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he hokoʻanga, mo e kavei ʻe nimangofulu ʻi he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻoku hokohoko ki hono ua.

Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

11 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae fakamaʻu palasa ʻe nimangofulu, pea ʻai ʻae fakamaʻu ki he ngaahi kavei, ʻo hokohoko ʻaki ʻae fakapulonga, ke hoko ʻo taha pe ia.

Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

12 Pea ko hono konga ʻoku toe ʻi he puipui ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ko e vaeua ʻoe puipui ʻoku toe ʻe tautau pe ia ʻituʻa ʻi he tuʻafale.

As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

13 Pea ko e hanga ʻe ua ʻi he faʻahi ʻe taha, mo e hanga ʻe ua ʻi he faʻahi ʻe taha ʻo ia, ʻoku toe ʻi hono lōloa ʻoe ngaahi puipui ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻe tāupe ia ki hono faʻahi ʻe ua ʻoe fale ʻi he potu ni, mo e potu na ke ʻufiʻufi ia.

And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

14 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae meʻa fakapulonga ki he fale fehikitaki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kili ʻoe sipitangata kuo tuku kula, mo e meʻa fakapulonga ʻe taha kituʻa ʻi he ngaahi kiliʻi pasa.

Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

15 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi laupapa ki he fale fehikitaki mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi ke tuʻu tonu.

You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

16 Ko hono lōloa ʻoe laupapa ko e hanga ʻe uofulu, mo e hanga ʻe tolu ʻa hono māukupu ʻoe laupapa pe taha.

Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

17 Ke ua hono hokoʻanga ʻi he laupapa pe taha, ke tuʻu hangatonu atu pe ʻae taha ki he taha: pea ke fai pehē pe ki he laupapa kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki.

Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

18 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi laupapa ki he fale fehikitaki, ko e laupapa ʻe uofulu ki he feituʻu tonga ke hanga ki tonga.

Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

19 Pea ke ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga siliva ʻe fāngofulu ki lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe uofulu: ko e tuʻunga ʻe ua ki lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha, ki hono mui potu ʻe ua, mo e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha ki hono mui potu ʻe ua.

with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

20 Pea ki hono potu fakatokelau ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻe ʻai ʻae laupapa ʻe uofulu.

For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames

21 Mo honau tuʻunga siliva ʻe fāngofulu; ko e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha, mo e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha.

and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.

22 Pea ke ngaohi ʻae laupapa ʻe ono ki he potu fale fehikitaki ki he toʻangalaʻā.

Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

23 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae laupapa ʻe ua ki he tuliki ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi hono faʻahi ʻe ua.

and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

24 Pea ʻe hokohoko ia ʻi lalo, pea ʻe hokohoko ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻulu ʻo ia ki hono kavei ʻe taha: ʻe fai pehē ki ai fakatouʻosi: ko e ongo tuliki ia.

coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.

25 Pea ko e laupapa ʻe valu ia, mo honau ngaahi tuʻunga siliva, ko e tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu ma ono; ko e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha, mo e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha.

So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

26 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakalava mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi; ko e nima ki he ngaahi laupapa ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻoe fale fehikitaki,

You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

27 Pea ko e ʻakau fakalava ʻe nima ki he ngaahi laupapa ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea ko e ʻakau fakalava ʻe nima ki he ngaahi laupapa ʻoe potu ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ki he potu ʻe ua ki he toʻangalaʻā.

five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

28 Pea ko e ʻakau fakalava ʻi loto ʻi he ngaahi laupapa, ʻe tau ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo aʻu ki he potu ʻe taha.

The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.

29 Pea te ke ʻaofi ʻae ngaahi laupapa ʻaki ʻae koula, pea ngaohi ʻaki ʻae koula honau ngaahi kavei, ke ʻai ki ai ʻae ʻakau fakalava: pea ke ʻaofi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakalava ʻaki ʻae koula.

Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

30 Pea te ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo fakatatau ki he fakatātā ko ia ʻaia naʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻi he moʻunga.

So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

31 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻaki ʻae lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, ʻi he ngāue fakapotopoto: pea ʻe ngaohi ki ai ʻae selupimi:

Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

32 Pea ke tautau ia ki he pou ʻe fā ʻoe ʻakau ko e sitimi kuo ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula; ko e koula pe honau ngaahi tautauʻanga, ki honau tuʻunga siliva ʻe fā.

Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

33 “Pea te ke tautau ʻae puipui ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi fakamaʻu, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻomi ki ai ki he loto puipui ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava: pea ʻe vaheʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻe he puipui ʻae Potu Tapu mei he Potu Toputapu ʻaupito.

And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34 Pea te ke hili ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ki he funga puha ʻoe fuakava ʻi he Potu Toputapu ʻaupito.

Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

35 Pea te ke tuku ʻae palepale ʻituʻa ʻi he puipui, mo e tuʻunga maama ke tuʻu ʻo hanga tonu atu ki he palepale ʻi he faʻahi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoku hanga ki tonga: pea te ke tuku ʻae palepale ʻi he potu tokelau.

And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

36 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae meʻa tautau ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻoe lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae tuitui poto.

For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

37 Pea te ke ngaohi ki he meʻa tautau ʻae pou ʻakau sitimi ʻe nima, ʻo ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula, pea ʻe koula mo honau tautauʻanga: pea te ke haka ki ai ʻae tuʻunga palasa ʻe nima.

Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold hooks, and cast five bronze bases for them.
