1 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono māukupu: ʻe potupotu tatau pe ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea ko e hanga ʻe ono ʻa hono māʻolunga.

You must make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. The altar must be square and three cubits high.

2 Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻi ai ʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā: ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia ʻa hono ngaahi nifo: pea te ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae palasa.

You must make extensions of its four corners shaped like ox horns. The horns will be made as one piece with the altar, and you must cover them with bronze.

You must make equipment for the altar: pots for ashes, and also shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans. You must make all these utensils with bronze.

4 Pea te ke ngaohi ki ai ʻae meʻa vangavanga ʻaki ʻae palasa; pea ke ngaohi ʻi he meʻa vangavanga ʻae kavei palasa ʻe fā ʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā.

You must make a grate for the altar, a network of bronze. Make a bronze ring for each of the grate's four corners.

5 Pea ke ʻai ia ki lalo ʻi hono ngataʻanga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ki loto, koeʻuhi ke hoko atu ʻae meʻa vangavanga ʻo aʻu [hifo ]ki he vaeua ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

You must put the grate under the ledge of the altar, halfway down to the bottom.

6 Pea ke ngaohi ʻae haʻamo ki he feilaulauʻanga, ko e ongo haʻamo mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae palasa.

You must make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and you must cover them with bronze.

The poles must be put into the rings, and the poles must be on the two sides of the altar, to carry it.

8 Ke ke ngaohi ia ʻaki ʻae laupapa ke luoluo ʻi loto: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻi he moʻunga, te nau ngaohi pehē pe ia.

You must make the altar hollow, out of planks. You must make it in the way you were shown on the mountain.

9 “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae lotoʻā ʻoe fale fehikitaki: ki he potu ʻoku hanga ki tonga ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi puipui tautau ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, ko e hanga ʻe uangeau hono lōloa ki he potu ʻe taha:

You must make a courtyard for the tabernacle. There must be hangings on the south side of the courtyard, hangings of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long.

10 Pea ko hono pou ʻe uofulu mo hono ngaahi tuʻunga ko e palasa ia; ko e ngaahi tautauʻanga ʻoe ngaahi pou mo honau tākai ko e siliva ia.

The hangings must have twenty posts, with twenty bronze bases. There must also be hooks attached to the posts, as well as silver rods.

Likewise along the north side, there must be hangings one hundred cubits long with twenty posts, twenty bronze bases, hooks attached to the posts, and silver rods.

12 Pea ki hono māukupu ʻoe lotoʻā ʻi he potu lulunga ʻe ai ʻoe ngaahi puipui tautau ko e hanga ʻe teau: ke hongofulu honau pou pea hongofulu mo honau tuʻunga.

Along the courtyard on the west side there must be a curtain fifty cubits long. There must be ten posts and ten bases.

The hangings for one side of the entrance must be fifteen cubits long. They must have three posts with three bases.

The other side must also have hangings fifteen cubits long. They must have their three posts and three bases.

16 Pea ʻe ʻai ki he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ʻae puipui tautau, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, ʻoe lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae tuitui poto: ke fā honau pou, pea fā mo honau tuʻunga.

The courtyard gate must be a curtain twenty cubits long. The curtain must be made of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. It must have four posts with four bases.

17 Ko e ngaahi pou kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe tākai ʻaki ia ʻae siliva; ʻe siliva honau tautauʻanga, pea ko e palasa honau ngaahi tuʻunga.

All the courtyard posts must have silver rods, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

18 Ko hono lōloa ʻoe lotoʻā ko e hanga ʻe uangeau, pea ko e hanga ʻe teau ʻa hono māukupu ʻi he potu kotoa pē, pea ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu hono māʻolunga, ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, pea ko e palasa honau ngaahi tuʻunga.

The length of the courtyard must be one hundred cubits, the width fifty cubits, and the height five cubits with fine twined linen hangings all along, and bases of bronze.

19 Ko e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi hono fāinga ngāue kotoa pē, mo hono ngaahi faʻo kotoa pē ʻo ia, mo e ngaahi faʻo kotoa pē ʻoe lotoʻā, ko e palasa ia.

All the equipment to be used in the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and courtyard must be made of bronze.

20 “Pea te ke fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi kiate koe ʻae lolo ʻolive maʻa kuo tuki, ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke fakaulo maʻu pe ʻae maama,

You must command the people of Israel to bring olive oil, pure and pressed, for the lamps so they may burn continually.

21 ‌ʻI he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he tuʻapuipui, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fuakava, ʻe tuʻu ʻi ʻai ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha mei he efiafi ki he pongipongi, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ko e fekau fai maʻu pe ia ʻo taʻengata ki honau ngaahi toʻutangata, koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the tabernacle that contains the ark of testimony, Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning before Yahweh, from evening to morning. This requirement will be a lasting ordinance throughout the generations of the people of Israel.
