1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place , and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Na zile nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na nyuzi za rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, wakafanya mavazi yaliyofumwa kwa ustadi sana kwa ajili ya kutumika katika mahali patakatifu, na kuyafanya hayo mavazi matakatifu ya Haruni, vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
The Ephod
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Naye akaifanya hiyo naivera, ya nyuzi za dhahabu, na za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, na kitani nzuri ya kusokotwa.
3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
Nao wakaifua hiyo dhahabu hata ikawa mabamba membamba sana, kisha wakaikata iwe nyuzi, ili wapate kuifuma pamoja na hizo nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na nyuzi nyekundu na za kitani nzuri, kazi ya fundi stadi sana.
4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
Nao wakafanya na vipande vya mabegani kwa ajili yake, vilivyoungwa pamoja; viliungwa pamoja kwa ncha zake mbili.
5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Na huo mshipi wa kazi ya werevu, uliokuwa juu yake ili kuifunga mahali pake; ulikuwa wa kitu kimoja, na wa kazi moja na naivera ya dhahabu, na rangi ya samawi, na rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri ya kusokotwa; vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
Nao wakavitengeza vile vito vya shohamu, vilivyotiwa katika vijalizo vya dhahabu, vilivyochorwa mfano wa kuchora kwake muhuri, kwa majina ya hao wana wa Israeli.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Naye akavitia katika vile vipande vya mabegani vya hiyo naivera, viwe vito vya ukumbusho kwa wana wa Israeli, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Naye akafanya kile kifuko cha kifuani, kazi ya fundi stadi, kama hiyo kazi ya naivera; ya nyuzi za dhahabu, na za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri ya kusokotwa.
9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
Kilikuwa mraba; wakakifanya kile kifuko cha kifuani kwa kukikunja; urefu wake ulikuwa shibiri, na upana wake ulikuwa shibiri, tena kilikuwa ni cha kukunjwa.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
Nao wakatia safu nne za vito ndani yake, safu moja ilikuwa ni akiki, na yakuti ya rangi ya manjano, na baharamani, vilikuwa ni safu ya kwanza.
11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
Na safu ya pili ilikuwa zumaridi, na yakuti samawi, na almasi.
12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
Na safu ya tatu ilikuwa ni hiakintho, na akiki nyekundu, na amethisto.
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
Na safu ya nne ilikuwa ni zabarajadi, na shohamu, na yaspi: vito hivyo vilikuwa vimetiwa katika vijalizo vya dhahabu, kila kimoja mahali pake.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
Na hivyo vito vilikuwa vyaandama majina ya wana wa Israeli, kumi na mawili, sawasawa na majina yao; mfano wa kuchora muhuri, kila moja kwa jina lake, kwa zile kabila kumi na mbili.
15 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
Nao wakafanya katika kile kifuko cha kifuani mikufu mfano wa kamba, ya kazi ya kusokotwa ya dhahabu safi.
16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
Nao wakafanya vijalizo viwili vya dhahabu, na pete mbili za dhahabu; nao wakazitia hizo pete mbili katika ncha mbili za hicho kifuko.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
Nao wakaitia hiyo mikufu miwili iliyosokotwa katika hizo pete mbili zilizokuwa katika ncha mbili za hicho kifuko.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
Na ncha hizo mbili nyingine, za hiyo mikufu miwili ya kusokotwa, wakazitia katika vile vijalizo viwili, na kuvitia katika vile vipande vya mabegani vya naivera, upande wa mbele.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
Nao wakafanya pete mbili za dhahabu, na kuzitia katika ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani, katika ukingo wake, ulio upande wa naivera ulio ndani.
20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
Nao wakafanya pete mbili za dhahabu, na kuzitia katika vile vipande viwili vya ile naivera chini yake, upande wa mbele, karibu na kifungo chake, juu ya huo mshipi wa naivera uliosukwa kwa ustadi.
21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Nao wakakikaza kile kifuko kwa pete zake kwenye naivera kwa ukanda wa rangi ya samawi, ili kikae pale juu ya mshipi wa naivera uliosukwa kwa ustadi, na ya kwamba kifuko cha kifuani kisiachane na naivera; vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
Naye akafanya hiyo joho ya naivera ya kazi ya kusuka, rangi ya samawi yote;
23 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
na hilo tundu lililokuwa katikati yake, mfano wa tundu lililo katika kanzu ya chuma, na utepe wake kulizunguka hilo tundu, ili lisipasuke.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen .
Nao wakatia katika upindo wa joho makomamanga ya nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na rangi ya zambarau, na rangi nyekundu, na kitani iliyosokotwa.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
Nao wakafanya njuga za dhahabu safi, na kuzitia hizo njuga kati ya hayo makomamanga pande zote, kati ya hayo makomamanga;
26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in ; as the LORD commanded Moses.
njuga na komamanga, njuga na komamanga katika pindo za joho kuizunguka pande zote, ili kutumika kwa hiyo; vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
Nao wakafanya hizo kanzu za nguo ya kitani nzuri ya kufumwa, kwa Haruni, na kwa wanawe
28 and a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
na hicho kilemba cha nguo ya kitani nzuri, na zile kofia nzuri za kitani, na hizo suruali za nguo ya kitani nzuri iliyosokotwa,
29 and a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
na huo mshipi wa nguo nzuri ya kitani iliyosokotwa, na rangi ya samawi, na rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, kazi ya fundi mwenye kutia taraza; vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE Lord.
Nao wakafanya hilo bamba la hiyo taji takatifu la dhahabu safi, na kuandika juu yake andiko, mfano wa kuchorwa kwa muhuri, MTAKATIFU KWA Bwana.
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Nao wakatia ukanda wa rangi ya samawi ili kulifunga katika hicho kilemba upande wa juu; vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Musa.
The Tabernacle is erected
32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
Basi ndivyo ilivyomalizwa kazi yote ya maskani ya hema ya kukutania; na wana wa Israeli walifanya kama yote Bwana aliyomwagiza Musa, ndivyo walivyofanya.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
Nao wakamletea Musa hiyo maskani; yaani Hema, na vyombo vyake vyote, vifungo vyake, na mbao zake, na mataruma yake, na nguzo zake, na matako yake;
34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
na kifuniko chake cha ngozi za kondoo waume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, na kifuniko cha ngozi za pomboo, na pazia la sitara;
35 the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
na sanduku la ushuhuda, na miti yake, na kiti cha rehema;
36 the table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
na meza, na vyombo vyake vyote, na mikate ya wonyesho;
37 the pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
na kinara cha taa safi, na taa zake, hizo taa za kuwekwa mahali pake, na vyombo vyake vyote, na mafuta ya taa,
38 and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
na madhabahu ya dhahabu, na mafuta ya kutiwa, na uvumba mzuri, na pazia kwa mlango wa hema;
39 the brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
na madhabahu ya shaba, na wavu wake wa shaba, na miti yake, na vyombo vyake vyote, na birika na tako lake;
40 the hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
na ukuta wa nguo wa ua, na nguzo zake na matako yake, na pazia la lango la ua, na kamba zake, na vigingi vyake, na vyombo vyote vya kutumiwa katika utumishi wa maskani, kwa hiyo hema ya kukutania,
41 the cloths of service to do service in the holy place , and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
na mavazi ya kazi nzuri kwa utumishi katika mahali patakatifu, na mavazi matakatifu ya Haruni kuhani, na mavazi ya wanawe, ili kutumika katika kazi ya ukuhani.
42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
Sawasawa na yote Bwana aliyomwagiza Musa, ndivyo walivyoifanya hiyo kazi yote wana wa Israeli.
43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Musa akaiona hiyo kazi yote, na tazama, walikuwa wameimaliza; vile vile kama Bwana alivyoagiza, walikuwa wameifanya vivyo; basi Musa akawaombea heri.
