Exodus 26

1 “You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

1 “Tengeneza maskani kwa mapazia kumi ya kitani iliyosokotwa vizuri na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, naye fundi stadi atatarizi makerubi kwenye mapazia hayo.

2 Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide—all curtains the same size.

2 Mapazia yote yatatoshana kwa ukubwa: kila moja litakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa ishirini na nane, na upana wa dhiraa nne

3 Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

3 Unganisha mapazia matano pamoja; fanya vivyo hivyo kwa hayo mengine matano.

4 Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

4 Tengeneza vitanzi vya kitambaa cha buluu kwenye upindo wa pazia la mwisho la fungu la kwanza, na ufanye vivyo hivyo na pazia la fungu la mwisho.

5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

5 Fanya vitanzi hamsini katika pazia mmoja, na vitanzi vingine hamsini kwenye pazia la mwisho la fungu hilo lingine, nazo vitanzi vyote vielekeane.

6 Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

6 Kisha tengeneza vifungo hamsini vya dhahabu ili vitumike kufunga na kuunganisha mapazia pamoja kufanya Hema liwe kitu kimoja.

7 You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

7 “Tengeneza mapazia kumi na moja ya singa za mbuzi kwa ajili ya kufunika maskani.

8 Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

8 Mapazia hayo kumi na moja yatakuwa na kipimo kimoja, yaani urefu wa dhiraa thelathini, na upana wa dhiraa nne.

9 Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

9 Unganisha hayo mapazia matano yawe fungu moja, na hayo mengine sita yawe fungu lingine. Kunja hilo pazia la sita mara mbili mbele ya maskani.

10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

10 Tengeneza vitanzi hamsini kwenye upindo wa pazia la mwisho la fungu moja, na vivyo hivyo kwenye upindo wa pazia la mwisho la fungu hilo lingine.

11 Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

11 Kisha tengeneza vifungo hamsini vya shaba, uviingize katika vile vitanzi ili kukaza hema pamoja kuwa kitu kimoja.

12 As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

12 Kuhusu kile kipande cha ziada cha pazia la Hema, nusu ya hilo pazia lililobaki litaningʼinizwa upande wa nyuma wa Hema.

13 And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

13 Mapazia ya hema yatakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa moja zaidi pande zote, sehemu itakayobaki itaningʼinia pande zote za Hema ili kuifunika.

14 Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

14 Tengeneza kifuniko cha hema kwa ngozi za kondoo dume zilizotiwa rangi nyekundu, na juu yake kifuniko cha ngozi za pomboo.

15 You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

15 “Tengeneza mihimili ya kusimamisha ya mti wa mshita kwa ajili ya maskani.

16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

16 Kila mhimili uwe na urefu wa dhiraa kumi na upana wa dhiraa moja na nusu,

17 Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

17 zikiwa na ndimi mbili zilizo sambamba kila mmoja na mwingine. Tengeneza mihimili yote ya maskani jinsi hii.

18 Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

18 Tengeneza mihimili ishirini kwa ajili ya upande wa kusini wa maskani,

19 with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

19 kisha tengeneza vitako arobaini vya fedha vya kuweka chini ya hiyo mihimili, vitako viwili kwa kila mhimili, kimoja chini ya kila ulimi.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames

20 Kuhusu upande wa kaskazini wa maskani, tengeneza mihimili ishirini

21 and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.

21 na vitako arobaini vya fedha, viwili chini ya kila mhimili.

22 Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

22 Kisha tengeneza mihimili sita kwa mwisho ulio mbali, yaani upande wa magharibi wa maskani,

23 and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

23 na pia utengeneze mihimili miwili ya pembe za upande ulio mbali.

24 coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.

24 Katika pembe hizi mbili ni lazima mihimili yake iwe miwili kuanzia chini mpaka juu, na iingizwe kwenye pete moja; mihimili ya pembe hizi mbili itafanana.

25 So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

25 Kwa hiyo itakuwepo mihimili minane, na vitako kumi na sita vya fedha, viwili chini ya kila mhimili.

26 You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

26 “Pia tengeneza mataruma ya mti wa mshita: matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mmoja wa maskani,

27 five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

27 matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande mwingine, na matano kwa ajili ya mihimili ya upande wa magharibi, mwisho kabisa mwa maskani.

28 The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.

28 Taruma la katikati litapenya katikati ya mihimili kutoka mwisho mmoja hadi mwisho mwingine.

29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

29 Funika hiyo mihimili kwa dhahabu, kisha tengeneza pete za dhahabu ambazo zitashikilia hayo mataruma. Pia funika hayo mataruma kwa dhahabu.

30 So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

30 “Simamisha Hema sawasawa na mfano ulioonyeshwa kule mlimani.

31 Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

31 “Tengeneza pazia la nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi iliyosokotwa vizuri, naye fundi stadi atirizi makerubi kwenye hilo pazia.

32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

32 Litundike kwa kulabu za dhahabu kwenye nguzo nne za mti wa mshita ambazo zimefunikwa kwa dhahabu, zikiwa zimesimamishwa kwenye vitako vinne vya fedha.

33 And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

33 Ningʼiniza pazia hilo kwenye vifungo, kisha weka Sanduku la Ushuhuda nyuma ya pazia. Pazia litatenganisha Mahali Patakatifu kutoka Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.

34 Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

34 Weka kifuniko cha kiti cha rehema juu ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda ndani ya Patakatifu pa Patakatifu.

35 And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

35 Weka meza nje ya pazia upande wa kaskazini wa Hema, kisha weka kinara cha taa upande wa kusini wa Hema.

36 For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

36 “Kwa ajili ya ingilio la hema, tengeneza pazia la nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi iliyosokotwa vizuri, kazi ya mtarizi.

37 Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold, use hooks of gold, and cast five bronze bases for them.

37 Tengeneza kulabu za dhahabu kwa ajili ya hilo pazia, na nguzo tano za mshita zilizofunikwa kwa dhahabu. Kisha mimina vitako vitano vya shaba kwa ajili yake.
