ʻEkisotosi 31
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Vakai, kuo u ui ʻa Pesalili ko e foha ʻo Uli, ko e foha ʻo Hua, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta:
“I have chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
3 Pea kuo u fakafonu ia ʻi he laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he poto, pea ʻi he loto-matala, mo e faʻa ʻilo, pea ʻi he ngaahi ngāue fakatufunga kotoa pē,
I have filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
4 Ke fifili ki he ngaahi ngāue fakapotopoto, ke ngāue ʻi he koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa.
He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
5 Pea ʻi he tātā ʻoe ngaahi maka koloa, ke fakamaʻu ia, pea ʻi he tātā ʻae ʻakau, mo e ngāue ʻi he ngaahi ngāue fakatufunga kotoa pē.
he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
6 Pea ko au, vakai, kuo u foaki mo ia ʻa ʻAholiapi ko e foha ʻo ʻEhisamaki, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Tani: pea kuo u ʻai ʻae poto ki he loto ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku loto poto, koeʻuhi ke nau faʻa ngaohi ʻaia kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe:
I have also chosen Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have also given all the craftsmen the skills needed to make everything that I have ordered you to make:
7 Ko e fale fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻoku hilifaki ki hono funga, mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki,
the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony and its atonement cover, and all the other furniture in the Tent:
8 Mo e palepale mo hono nāunau, mo e tuʻunga maama māʻoniʻoni mo hono nāunau kotoa pē, mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala,
the table with its equipment, the pure gold lampstand with all its equipment, the altar of incense,
9 Mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu mo hono nāunau kotoa pē, mo e sene mo hono tuʻunga,
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand;
10 Mo e ngaahi kofu ʻoe ngāue, mo e ngaahi kofu tapu kia ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ngaahi kofu ki hono ngaahi foha, ke nau ngāue ai ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki,
as well as the woven clothes for both Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests,
11 Mo e lolo tākai, mo e meʻa namu kakala ki he potu māʻoniʻoni: te nau fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe.”
as well as anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them following all the instructions I have given you.”
12 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
The Lord told Moses,
13 ke ke lea foki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni te mou tauhi hoku ngaahi Sāpate: he ko e fakaʻilonga ia ʻiate au mo kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou fakatapui ʻakimoutolu.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘It's absolutely essential that you keep my Sabbaths. The Sabbath will be a sign between me and you for generations to come, so that you'll know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
14 Ko ia te mou tauhi ai ʻae Sāpate he ʻoku tapu ia kiate kimoutolu: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻuliʻi ia ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ʻi ai ha ngāue, ʻe motuhi ʻae tangata ko ia mei hono kakai,
You shall keep the Sabbath because it is holy to you. Anyone who dishonors it must be killed. Anyone who works on that day must be cut off from their people.
15 ʻOku ngofua ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono; ka ʻi hono fitu, ko e Sāpate ʻoe mālōlō, ko e māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fai ha ngāue ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.
16 Ko ia, ʻe tauhi ʻae Sāpate ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke tokanga ki he Sāpate ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē, ko e fuakava maʻuaipē ia.
The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath as an everlasting agreement for generations to come.
17 Ko e fakaʻilonga ia ʻiate au mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata: he naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono ʻae langi mo e fonua, pea naʻa ne tutuku ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, pea fiemālie ai.”
It's a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for the Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days, but on the seventh day he stopped and he rested.’”
18 Pea hili ʻene folofola kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai, naʻa ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae maka ʻe ua ʻoe fuakava, ko e ongo maka, kuo tohi ʻaki ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe ʻOtua.
When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written on by the finger of God.
