Exodus 27

1 “You are to build an altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

1 “Jenga madhabahu ya mbao za mti wa mshita, kimo chake kiwe dhiraa tatu; itakuwa mraba, urefu wake dhiraa tano, na upana wake dhiraa tano.

2 Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.

2 Tengeneza upembe kwenye kila pembe ya hizo pembe nne, ili zile pembe na madhabahu ziwe zimeungana, na ufunike madhabahu kwa shaba.

3 Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans.

3 Tengeneza vyombo vyake vyote kwa shaba: vyungu vyake vya kuondolea majivu, masepetu, mabakuli ya kunyunyizia, uma za nyama, na vyombo vya kuchukulia moto.

4 Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh.

4 Kisha tengenezea hayo madhabahu wavu wa shaba, na utengeneze pete za shaba kwenye kila moja ya hizo pembe nne za huo wavu.

5 Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.

5 Weka wavu huo chini ya ukingo wa madhabahu ili ufikie nusu ya kimo cha madhabahu.

6 Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.

6 Tengeneza mipiko ya mti wa mshita kwa ajili ya madhabahu, na uifunike kwa shaba.

7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

7 Hiyo mipiko itaingizwa kwenye zile pete ili iwe pande mbili za madhabahu inapobebwa.

8 Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

8 Tengeneza madhabahu yawe na uvungu ndani yake ukitumia mbao. Utaitengeneza sawasawa na vile ulivyoonyeshwa mlimani.

9 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,

9 “Tengeneza ua kwa ajili ya Hema la Kukutania. Upande wa kusini utakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja, na utakuwa na mapazia ya kitani iliyosokotwa vizuri,

10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.

10 pamoja na nguzo ishirini na vitako vya shaba ishirini, na kulabu na tepe za fedha juu ya hizo nguzo.

11 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.

11 Upande wa kaskazini utakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja, nao utakuwa na mapazia, pamoja na nguzo ishirini na vitako vya shaba ishirini, pamoja na kulabu na tepe za fedha juu ya hizo nguzo.

12 The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases.

12 “Upande wa magharibi wa ua utakuwa na upana wa dhiraa hamsini, nao utakuwa na mapazia, na nguzo kumi na vitako vyake kumi.

13 The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide.

13 Upande wa mwisho wa mashariki jua linakochomoza, ua pia utakuwa na upana wa dhiraa hamsini.

14 Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases,

14 Mapazia yenye urefu wa dhiraa kumi na tano yatakuwa upande mmoja wa ingilio, pamoja na nguzo tatu na vitako vitatu.

15 and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

15 Kutakuwepo tena na mapazia ya dhiraa kumi na tano kwa upande mwingine wa ingilio, pamoja na nguzo tatu na vitako vitatu.

16 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.

16 “Kuhusu ingilio la ua, weka pazia lenye urefu wa dhiraa ishirini la nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu pamoja na kitani iliyosokotwa vizuri, kazi ya mtarizi. Pazia hilo litashikiliwa na nguzo nne na vitako vinne.

17 All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

17 Nguzo zote zinazozunguka ua zitakuwa na tepe na kulabu za fedha, na vitako vya shaba.

18 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.

18 Ua wa kukutania utakuwa na urefu wa dhiraa mia moja na upana wa dhiraa hamsini, ukiwa na mapazia ya kitani yaliyosokotwa vizuri yenye urefu wa dhiraa tano kwenda juu na vitako vya shaba.

19 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.

19 Vyombo vingine vyote vinavyotumika katika maskani kwa shughuli yoyote, pamoja na vigingi vyote na hata vile vya ua, vitakuwa vya shaba.

20 And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

20 “Utawaamuru Waisraeli wakuletee mafuta safi ya zeituni yaliyokamuliwa kwa ajili ya mwanga ili zile taa ziwake mfululizo.

21 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.

21 Katika Hema la Kukutania, nje ya pazia lililo mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda, Aroni na wanawe watahakikisha kuwa taa hizo zinawaka kuanzia jioni mpaka asubuhi mbele za Bwana. Hili litakuwa agizo la milele miongoni mwa Waisraeli kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo.
