Nawe fanya madhabahu ya mti wa mshita; urefu wake utakuwa ni dhiraa tano, na upana wake dhiraa tano; hiyo madhabahu itakuwa mraba; na kwenda juu kwake kutakuwa dhiraa tatu.
“You are to build an altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.
2
Nawe fanya pembe nne katika pembe zake nne; hizo pembe zitakuwa za kitu kimoja na madhabahu; nawe utayafunika shaba.
Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.
3
Na vyombo vyake vya kuyaondoa majivu yake utavifanya, na majembe yake, na mabakuli yake, na uma zake, na meko yake; vyombo vyake vyote utavifanya vya shaba.
Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans.
4
Nawe uifanyie hiyo madhabahu wavu wa shaba; kisha utie pete nne za shaba katika hizo pembe nne za ule wavu.
Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh.
5
Nawe tia huo wavu chini ya kizingo kiizungukacho madhabahu upande wa chini, ili huo wavu ufikilie katikati ya hiyo madhabahu.
Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.
6
Nawe fanya miti kwa ajili ya madhabahu, miti ya mshita, na kuifunika shaba.
Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.
7
Na hiyo miti itatiwa katika pete, na ile miti itakuwa katika pande mbili za madhabahu, wakati wa kuichukua.
The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.
8
Uifanye ya mbao, yenye mvungu ndani yake; kama ulivyoonyeshwa mlimani, ndivyo watakavyoifanya.
Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.
9
Nawe fanya ua wa maskani; upande wa kusini wa kuelekea kusini kutakuwa na chandarua ya nguo ya kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa, kwa huo ua, urefu wake upande mmoja utakuwa ni dhiraa mia;
You are also to make a courtyard for the tabernacle. On the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,
10
na nguzo zake zitakuwa nguzo ishirini, na matako yake ishirini, matako yake yatakuwa ya shaba; kulabu za zile nguzo na vitanzi vyake vitakuwa vya fedha.
with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.
11
Ni vivyo upande wa kaskazini, urefu wake hiyo chandarua utakuwa ni dhiraa mia, na nguzo zake ishirini, na matako yake ishirini yatakuwa ya shaba; kulabu za zile nguzo na vitanzi vyake vitakuwa vya fedha.
Likewise there are to be curtains on the north side, a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
12
Na upande wa magharibi, upana wa ua kutakuwa na chandarua ya dhiraa hamsini; nguzo zake kumi, na matako yake kumi.
The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases.
13
Na upana wa ule ua upande wa mashariki kuelekea mashariki utakuwa ni dhiraa hamsini.
The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide.
14
Chandarua upande mmoja wa lango itakuwa dhiraa kumi na tano upana wake; nguzo zake zitakuwa tatu na matako yake matatu.
Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases,
15
Upande wa pili ni vivyo chandarua ya dhiraa kumi na tano; nguzo zake tatu, na matako yake matatu.
and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.
16
Na kwa lile lango la ua patakuwa na kisitiri cha dhiraa ishirini, kitakuwa cha nguo ya rangi ya samawi, na ya rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa, kazi ya mshona taraza; nguzo zake zitakuwa nne, na matako yake manne.
The gate of the courtyard shall be twenty cubits long, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It shall have four posts and four bases.
17
Nguzo zote za ule ua ziuzungukazo pande zote zitakuwa na vitanzi vya fedha; kulabu zake za fedha, na matako yake ya shaba.
All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.
18
Urefu wa huo ua utakuwa dhiraa mia, na upana wake utakuwa dhiraa hamsini kotekote, na kwenda juu kwake dhiraa tano; yawe ya nguo ya kitani nzuri, na matako yake yatakuwa ya shaba.
The entire courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains of finely spun linen five cubits high, and with bronze bases.
19
Vyombo vyote vya maskani vitumiwavyo katika utumishi wake wote, na vigingi vyake vyote, na vigingi vyote vya ule ua, vitakuwa vya shaba.
All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, including all its tent pegs and the tent pegs of the courtyard, shall be made of bronze.
20
Nawe waamuru wana wa Israeli wakuletee mafuta ya zeituni safi ya kupondwa kwa ajili ya nuru, ili kufanya ile taa kuwaka daima.
And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
21
Ndani ya ile hema ya kukutania, nje ya hilo pazia, lililo mbele ya huo ushuhuda, Haruni na wanawe wataitengeza tangu jioni hata asubuhi mbele ya Bwana; itakuwa ni amri ya milele katika vizazi vyao vyote kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli. </p>
In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.
