Kisha Bezaleli akalifanya lile sanduku la mti wa mshita, urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu, na upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa moja na nusu, na kwenda juu kwake kulikuwa ni dhiraa moja na nusu;
Bezalel went on to construct the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
2
akalifunika dhahabu safi, ndani na nje, akafanya na ukingo wa dhahabu kulizunguka pande zote.
He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
3
Naye akasubu pete nne za dhahabu kwa ajili yake, katika miguu yake minne; pete mbili upande wake mmoja na pete mbili upande wake wa pili.
And he cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.
4
Akafanya na miti ya kulichukulia, ya mti wa mshita akaifunika dhahabu.
Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
5
Naye akaitia hiyo miti katika zile pete zilizokuwa ubavuni mwa sanduku, ili kulichukua hilo sanduku.
He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.
6
Kisha akafanya kiti cha rehema cha dhahabu safi; urefu wake ulikuwa dhiraa mbili na nusu na upana wake ulikuwa dhiraa moja na nusu.
He constructed a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7
Kisha akafanya makerubi mawili ya dhahabu; akayafanya ya kazi ya kufua, yawe katika miisho miwili ya kiti cha rehema;
He made two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,
8
kerubi moja mwisho huu, na kerubi moja mwisho huu; alifanya hayo makerubi mawili ya kitu kimoja na hicho kiti cha rehema katika miisho yake miwili.
one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
9
Na hayo makerubi yakayanyosha mabawa yao juu, na kukifunika hicho kiti cha rehema kwa mabawa yao, na nyuso zao zilikuwa zaelekeana hili na hili; nyuso za hayo makerubi zilikuwa zikielekea kiti cha rehema.
And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
10
Kisha akafanya hiyo meza ya mti wa mshita; urefu wake ulikuwa ni dhiraa mbili, na upana wake ulikuwa ni dhiraa moja, na kwenda juu kwake kulikuwa ni dhiraa moja na nusu;
He also made the table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11
naye akaifunika dhahabu safi, akaifanyia ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
12
Kisha akaifanyia upapi wa upana wa shibiri kuizunguka pande zote, akauzungushia ukingo wa urembo wa dhahabu ule upapi.
And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
13
Naye akasubu vikuku vinne vya dhahabu kwa ajili yake, akavitia vile vikuku katika pembe nne, katika miguu yake minne.
He cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners at its four legs.
14
Vile vikuku vilikuwa karibu na ule upapi, ili viwe mahali pa kutilia ile miti, ya kuichukulia meza.
The rings were placed close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.
15
Naye akaifanya hiyo miti ya kuichukulia, ya mti wa mshita, akaifunika dhahabu, ili kuichukua hiyo meza.
He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and overlaid them with gold.
16
Kisha, vile vyombo vilivyokuwa juu ya meza, sahani zake, na miiko yake, na bakuli zake, na makopo yake ya kumiminia, akavifanya vya dhahabu safi.
He also made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates and dishes, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.
17
Kisha akakifanya kile kinara cha taa cha dhahabu safi, akakifanya kile kinara cha taa cha kazi ya kufua, tako lake, na mti wake; vikombe vyake, na matovu yake, na maua yake, vyote vilikuwa vya kitu kimoja nacho,
Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold, all of one piece: its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.
18
nacho kilikuwa na matawi sita yaliyotoka ubavuni mwake; matawi matatu ya kinara yalikuwa upande huu, na matawi matatu ya kinara yalikuwa upande huu;
Six branches extended from the sides, three on one side and three on the other.
19
vikombe vitatu, vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi vilikuwa katika tawi moja, tovu na ua; na vikombe vitatu, vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi, katika tawi la pili, tovu na ua; yalikuwa ni vivyo hivyo yale matawi sita yaliyokuwa katika hicho kinara.
There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extended from the lampstand.
20
Katika kinara mlikuwa na vikombe vinne, vilivyofanywa mfano wa maua ya mlozi, matovu yake na maua yake;
And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.
21
kisha chini ya matawi mawili mlikuwa na tovu iliyokuwa ya kitu kimoja nacho, na chini ya matawi mawili mengine mlikuwa na tovu ya kitu kimoja nacho, tena chini ya matawi mawili hayo mengine mlikuwa na tovu ya kitu kimoja nacho; kwa ajili ya hayo matawi sita, yaliyotokana nacho.
A bud was under the first pair of branches that extended from the lampstand, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.
22
Hayo matovu yake na matawi yake yalikuwa ya kitu kimoja nacho; kinara hicho kizima chote pia ni kazi moja ya kufua ya dhahabu safi.
The buds and branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
23
Kisha akafanya taa zake saba, na makoleo yake, na visahani vyake, vya dhahabu safi.
He also made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and trays of pure gold.
24
Akakifanya cha talanta moja ya dhahabu safi, pamoja na vyombo vyake vyote.
He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.
25
Kisha akafanya hiyo madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba ya mti wa mshita; urefu wake ulikuwa ni dhiraa moja, na upana wake ulikuwa ni dhiraa moja, ilikuwa mraba; na kwenda juu kwake kulikuwa ni dhiraa mbili; na pembe zake zilikuwa za kitu kimoja nayo.
He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns were of one piece.
26
Naye akaifunika dhahabu safi, upande wa juu, na mbavu zake pande zote, na hizo pembe zake; akaifanyia na ukingo wa dhahabu kuizunguka pande zote.
And he overlaid with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns. Then he made a molding of gold around it.
27
Naye akaifanyia vikuku viwili vya dhahabu na kuvitia chini ya ukingo wake, katika mbavu zake mbili, katika pande zake mbili, viwe ni mahali pa hiyo miti ya kuichukulia.
He made two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.
28
Kisha akafanya hiyo miti kwa mti wa mshita, na kuifunika dhahabu.
And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
29
Kisha akayafanya hayo mafuta matakatifu ya kutiwa, na ule uvumba safi wa viungo vya manukato vizuri, kwa kuandama kazi ya mtengezaji manukato.
He also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.
