The Building of the Tabernacle
1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
Musa akakutanisha mkutano wote wa wana wa Israeli, na kuwaambia, Maneno aliyoyausia Bwana ni haya, kwamba myafanye.
2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
Fanyeni kazi siku sita, lakini siku ya saba itakuwa siku takatifu kwenu; ni Sabato ya kustarehe kabisa kwa Bwana; mtu awaye yote atakayefanya kazi yo yote katika siku hiyo atauawa.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
Hamtawasha moto katika nyumba zenu kwa siku ya Sabato.
4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
Kisha Musa akanena na mkutano wote wa wana wa Israeli, akawaambia, Neno hili ndilo aliloliamuru Bwana, akisema,
5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
Katwaeni kati yenu matoleo kwa Bwana; mtu awaye yote aliye na moyo wa kupenda, ayalete matoleo; dhahabu na fedha na shaba;
6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair ,

8 and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
na mafuta kwa hiyo taa, na viungo vya manukato kwa hayo mafuta ya kutiwa, na kwa huo uvumba mzuri;
9 and onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
na vito vya shohamu, na vito vya kutiwa kwa hiyo naivera, na kwa hicho kifuko cha kifuani.
10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
Na kila mtu kati yenu aliye na moyo wa hekima na aje, na kuyafanya hayo yote ambayo Bwana ameyaagiza;
11 the tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Basi mkutano wote wa wana wa Israeli wakaondoka hapo mbele ya Musa.
21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
Wakaja kila mtu ambaye moyo wake ulimhimiza, na kila mtu ambaye roho yake ilimfanya kuwa apenda, nao wakaleta sadaka za kumpa Bwana, kwa kazi ya hema ya kukutania, na kwa utumishi wake, na kwa hayo mavazi matakatifu.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
Nao wakaja, waume kwa wake, wote waliokuwa na moyo wa kupenda, wakaleta vipini, na hazama, na pete za muhuri, na vikuku, na vyombo vyote vya dhahabu; kila mtu aliyetoa toleo la dhahabu la kumpa Bwana.
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair , and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them .
Tena kila mtu aliyeona kwake nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na nyuzi za rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri, na singa za mbuzi, na ngozi za kondoo waume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, na ngozi za pomboo, akavileta.
24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it .
Kila mtu aliyetoa toleo la fedha, na la shaba, akaileta sadaka ya Bwana; na kila mtu, aliyeona kwake mti wa mshita kwa kazi yo yote ya huo utumishi, akauleta.
25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
Na wanawake wote waliokuwa na mioyo ya hekima, walisokota kwa mikono yao, nao wakaleta hizo walizokuwa wamezisokota, nguo za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na hizo nyuzi nyekundu, na hiyo nguo ya kitani nzuri.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair .
Na wanawake wote ambao mioyo yao iliwahimiza katika hekima wakasokota hizo singa za mbuzi.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
Na hao wakuu wakavileta vile vito vya shohamu, na vito vya kutiwa, kwa hiyo naivera, na kwa hicho kifuko cha kifuani,
28 and spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
na viungo vya manukato, na mafuta; kwa hiyo taa, na kwa hayo mafuta ya kutiwa, na kwa huo uvumba mzuri.
29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
Wana wa Israeli wakaleta sadaka za kumpa Bwana kwa moyo wa kupenda; wote, waume kwa wake, ambao mioyo yao iliwafanya kuwa wapenda kuleta kwa hiyo kazi, ambayo Bwana aliamuru ifanywe kwa mkono wa Musa.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
Kisha Musa akawaambia wana wa Israeli, Angalieni, Bwana amemwita kwa jina lake Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa kabila ya Yuda;
31 and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
naye amemjaza roho ya Mungu, katika hekima, na akili, na ujuzi, na kazi ya ustadi kila aina;
32 and to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
na kuvumbua kazi za werevu, na kufanya kazi ya dhahabu, na fedha, na shaba,
33 and in the cutting of stones, to set them , and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
na kukata vito vya kutilia, na kuchora miti, atumike katika kazi za werevu kila aina.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Naye amemtilia moyoni mwake ili apate kufundisha, yeye, na Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki, wa kabila ya Dani.
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
Amewajaza watu hao akili za moyoni, ili watumike katika kazi kila aina, ya mwenye kuchora mawe, na kazi ya werevu, na ya mwenye kutia taraza, katika nyuzi za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri, na ya mwenye kufuma nguo; ya hao wafanyao kazi yo yote, na ya wenye kuvumbua kazi za werevu.
