Exodus 30
1 “Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe pẹpẹ igi kasia kan; máa jó tùràrí lórí rẹ̀.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 Kí igun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin rẹ̀ ṣe déédé, kí ó jẹ́ ìdajì mita ní gígùn, ìdajì mita ní fífẹ̀ àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ méjì ni gíga rẹ̀—kí ìwo rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
3 Ìwọ yóò sì bo òkè rẹ̀, gbogbo ìhà rẹ̀ àti ìwo rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú u kìkì wúrà, ìwọ yóò sì ṣe wúrà gbà á yíká.
[They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
4 Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe òrùka wúrà méjì fún pẹpẹ náà níṣàlẹ̀ ìgbátí méjèèjì ní òdìkejì ìhà rẹ̀—láti gbá àwọn òpó rẹ̀ mú, láti lè máa fi gbé e.
[They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
5 Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe òpó igi kasia, ìwọ yóò sì bọ́ wọ́n pẹ̀lú wúrà.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Ìwọ yóò gbé pẹpẹ náà sí iwájú aṣọ ìkélé, èyí tí ó wà níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí níwájú ìtẹ́ àánú èyí tí ó wà lórí àpótí ẹ̀rí níbi ti èmi yóò ti máa bá ọ pàdé.
[They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
7 “Aaroni yóò sì máa jó tùràrí dídùn lórí pẹpẹ náà ní àràárọ̀, nígbà tí ó tún àwọn fìtílà náà ṣe.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 Aaroni yóò sì tún jó tùràrí nígbà tí ó bá tan fìtílà ní àṣálẹ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní tùràrí yóò máa jó títí láé níwájú Olúwa fún àwọn ìran tó ń bọ̀.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ mú àjèjì tùràrí wá sórí pẹpẹ yìí tàbí ẹbọ sísun kankan tàbí ọrẹ oúnjẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ da ẹbọ ohun mímu sórí i rẹ̀.
The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
10 Aaroni yóò sì máa ṣe ètùtù sórí àwọn ìwo rẹ̀ lẹ́ẹ̀kan lọ́dún. Òun yóò sì máa ṣe ètùtù ọdọọdún yìí pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹbọ ètùtù fún ìran tó ń bọ̀. Mímọ́ jùlọ ni sí Olúwa.”
One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
11 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Mose pé,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ka iye àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti mọ iye wọn, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn gbọdọ̀ mú ìràpadà ọkàn rẹ̀ wá fún Olúwa ní ìgbà tí o bá ka iye wọn. Nígbà náà ni àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kì yóò súnmọ́ wọn, nígbà tí o bá ń ka iye wọn.
“When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
13 Olúkúlùkù ẹrù tí ó bá kọjá lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn tí a ti kà yóò san ìdajì ṣékélì, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ṣékélì ibi mímọ́, èyí tí ó wọn ogún gera. Ìdajì ṣékélì yìí ní ọrẹ fún Olúwa.
Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
14 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó bá kọjá sínú àwọn tí a kà láti ẹni ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ni yóò fi ọrẹ fún Olúwa.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Àwọn olówó kì yóò san ju ìdajì ṣékélì lọ, àwọn tálákà kò sì gbọdọ̀ dín ní ìdajì ṣékélì nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá mú ọrẹ wá fún Olúwa láti ṣe ètùtù fún ọkàn yín.
Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
16 Ìwọ yóò sì gba owó ètùtù náà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ìwọ yóò sì fi lélẹ̀ fún ìsìn àgọ́ àjọ. Yóò jẹ́ ìrántí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli níwájú Olúwa, láti ṣe ètùtù fún ọkàn yín.”
Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
17 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Mose pé,
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 “Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe agbada idẹ kan, àti ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ idẹ, fún wíwẹ̀. Ìwọ yóò sì gbé e sí àárín àgọ́ àjọ àti pẹpẹ náà, ìwọ yóò sì pọn omi sínú rẹ̀.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
19 Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò máa wẹ ọwọ́ àti ẹsẹ̀ wọn pẹ̀lú omi tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 Nígbàkígbà tí wọ́n bá wọ inú àgọ́ àjọ, wọ́n yóò wẹ̀ pẹ̀lú omi nítorí kí wọ́n má ba à kú. Bákan náà, nígbà tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ ibi pẹpẹ láti ṣe ìsìn, láti mú ẹbọ ti a fi iná sun wá fún Olúwa,
before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
21 wọn yóò sì wẹ ọwọ́ wọn àti ẹsẹ̀ wọn, nítorí kí wọn máa ba à kú. Èyí ni yóò jẹ́ ìlànà títí láé fún Aaroni àti irú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ fún ìrandíran wọn.”
They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
22 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 “Ìwọ yóò mú ààyò tùràrí olóòórùn sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ; ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ṣékélì (kilogiramu mẹ́fà) tí òjìá ṣíṣàn, ìdajì bí ó bá yẹ àádọ́ta lé nígba ṣékélì tí kinamoni dídùn, àti kénì dídùn àádọ́ta lé nígba ṣékélì,
“[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
24 kasia ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ṣékélì gbogbo rẹ̀ ní ìlànà ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ àti hínì òróró olifi kan (lita mẹ́rin).
and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
25 Ṣe ìwọ̀nyí ní òróró mímọ́ ìkunra, tí a pò gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣe òórùn dídùn tì í ṣe. Yóò jẹ òróró mímọ́ ìtasórí.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 Ìwọ yóò sì lò ó láti ya àgọ́ sí mímọ́ àti àpótí ẹ̀rí náà,
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 tábìlì àti gbogbo ohun èlò rẹ̀, ọ̀pá fìtílà àti ohun èlò rẹ̀, àti pẹpẹ tùràrí,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
28 pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun àti gbogbo ohun èlò rẹ̀, àti agbada pẹ̀lú ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
29 Ìwọ yóò sì sọ wọ́n di mímọ́, nítorí kí wọn lè jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ, àti ohunkóhun tí ó bá fi ọwọ́ kàn wọn yóò di mímọ́.
Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
30 “Ìwọ yóò sì ta òróró sí orí Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì sọ wọ́n di mímọ́, nítorí kí wọn lè sìn mí bí àlùfáà.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 Ìwọ yóò sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ‘Èyí ni yóò ṣe òróró mímọ́ ìtasórí mi fún ìrandíran tó ń bọ̀.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Má ṣe dà á sí ara ènìyàn kí o má sì ṣe ṣe òróró kankan ni irú rẹ̀. Mímọ́ ni, ẹ̀yin sì gbọdọ̀ kà á sí mímọ́.
You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
33 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá po irú rẹ̀, tàbí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fi sára àlejò yàtọ̀ sí àlùfáà, a ó gé e kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.’”
I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
34 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Mú tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, onika, àti galibanumu àti kìkì tùràrí dáradára, òsùwọ̀n kan fún gbogbo rẹ,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 ṣe tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn tí a pò, iṣẹ́ àwọn olóòórùn, tí ó ní iyọ̀, ó dára, ó sì jẹ́ mímọ́.
and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
36 Ìwọ yóò sì lọ díẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀ kúnná, ìwọ yóò sì gbé e síwájú ẹ̀rí ní àgọ́ àjọ, níbi tí èmi yóò ti pàdé yín. Yóò sì jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ fún yín.
Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
37 Ẹ má ṣe ṣe tùràrí kankan ní irú èyí fúnra yín; ẹ kà á ní mímọ́ sí Olúwa.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ṣe irú rẹ̀ láti máa gbádùn òórùn rẹ̀, òun ni a ó gé kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.”
I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
