Essanduuko ey’Endagaano Ekolebwa

37 (A)Awo Bezaaleeri n’akola Essanduuko mu muti gwa akasiya; ng’obuwanvu bwayo mita emu ne desimoolo emu, n’obugazi sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu, n’obugulumivu nabwo sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu. (B)N’agibikkako zaabu omuka ennyo kungulu ne munda, era n’agyetoolooza omuge ogwa zaabu. N’agiweeseza empeta nnya eza zaabu, n’azisiba ku magulu gaayo ana, ng’empeta ebbiri ziri ku ludda lwayo olumu n’endala ebbiri ku ludda lwayo olulala. N’abajja emisituliro mu muti ogwa akasiya, n’agibikkako zaabu, n’agisonseka mu mpeta ziri okusituzanga essanduuko.

(C)N’akolerako ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira nga kya zaabu omuka ennyo; obuwanvu bwakyo bwali mita emu ne desimoolo emu, n’obugazi sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu. (D)N’akolerako ne bakerubi babiri mu zaabu omuweese ku njuyi ebbiri ez’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. Kerubi omu yamuteeka ku ludda lumu olw’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira, ne kerubi omulala ku ludda olwokubiri, nga bakerubi bombi beekutte wamu n’ekisaanikirako, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. (E)Ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi yabikola nga bibikkule nga bisonze waggulu, era nga bisiikirizza ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. Bakerubi ne batunulagana nga boolekedde ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira.

Emmeeza Ekolebwa

10 (F)N’akola n’emmeeza mu muti gwa akasiya, obuwanvu bwayo sentimita kyenda, n’obugazi sentimita amakumi ana mu ttaano, n’obugulumivu sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu. 11 (G)N’agibikkako zaabu omuka ennyo, era n’agyetoolooza omuge ogwa zaabu. 12 N’agikolerako olukugiro oluweza sentimita musanvu ne desimoolo ttaano obugazi, n’omuge ogwa zaabu okwebungulula olukugiro olwo. 13 N’aweesa empeta nnya eza zaabu, n’azisiba mu nsonda ennya awali amagulu gaayo ana. 14 (H)Empeta ezo yazissa kumpi n’olukugiro ziyisibwemu emisituliro gy’emmeeza. 15 N’akola emisituliro gy’emmeeza mu muti gwa akasiya, n’agibikkako zaabu. 16 N’akola mu zaabu omuka, ebikozesebwa eby’okubeeranga ku mmeeza: essowaani zaako, n’ebijiiko byako, n’ebibya eby’okufukanga ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa.

Ekikondo ky’Ettaala

17 (I)Yakola ekikondo ky’ettaala nga kya zaabu omuka. Yakiweesezaako entobo yaakyo n’enduli, n’ebikopo ebifaanana ng’ebimuli, amatabi n’emitunsi n’ebimuli byako; byonna yabiweesa mu kyuma kya zaabu kimu bulambalamba. 18 Kwaliko amatabi mukaaga agafaanana ng’omutuula emisubbaawa; amatabi asatu nga gali ku ludda lumu n’amalala asatu nga gali ku ludda olulala. 19 Ku ttabi erimu kwaliko ebikopo bisatu nga bikoleddwa ng’ebimuli by’alumondi n’emitunsi n’ebimuli, ate bisatu ne bibeera ku ttabi eddala, n’ebirala bisatu ne bibeera ku buli limu ku matabi amalala okutuusa amatabi omukaaga gonna agava ku kikondo ky’ettaala lwe gaabuna. 20 Ku kikondo ky’ettaala kwennyini kwaliko ebikopo bina ebyakolebwa ng’ebimuli by’alumondi n’emitunsi gyabyo n’ebimuli byako. 21 Omutunsi ogumu gwali wansi w’amatabi abiri agava ku kikondo ky’ettaala, n’omuntunsi ogwokubiri ne gubeera wansi w’amatabi abiri agaddirira, n’omutunsi ogwokusatu ne gubeera wansi w’amatabi abiri agaddako, amatabi gonna omukaaga ne gabuna. 22 (J)Emitunsi n’amatabi gaako yabikola bumu n’ekikondo ky’ettaala mu zaabu omuweese omuka nga biri wamu.

23 (K)Ekikondo ky’ettaala n’akikolera ettaala musanvu, ne makansi ezikomola entambi, n’essowaani ez’okussaako ebisirinza, nga byonna abikoze mu zaabu omuka. 24 Ekikondo ky’ettaala ne byonna ebigenderako yabikola mu zaabu omuka eyaweza obuzito bwa kilo amakumi asatu mu nnya.

Ekyoto eky’Okwoterezangako Obubaane

25 (L)Yakola ekyoto, mu miti gy’akasiya, okwoterezangako obubaane, nga kyenkanankana sentimita amakumi ana mu ttaano buli ludda mu buwanvu ne mu bugazi; n’obugulumivu bwa sentimita kyenda; n’amayembe gaakyo nga gali mu muti gumu nakyo. 26 Ekyoto yakisiigako zaabu omuka kyonna, waggulu ne mu mbiriizi ne ku mayembe, n’akolerako omuge ogwa zaabu okukyebungulula. 27 (M)Wansi w’omuge mu mbiriizi z’ekyoto zombi, yakolerako empeta bbiri eza zaabu, okuyisangamu emisituliro gyakyo nga wabaddewo gye kitwalibwa. 28 (N)Emisituliro yagikola mu muti gwa akasiya, n’agisiigako zaabu.

29 (O)N’atabula amafuta amatukuvu ag’okwawula, n’ateekateeka obubaane obulongosebbwa ennyo, ng’abutabudde bulungi ng’omukugu mu byakaloosa bwe yandikoze.

The Ark(A)

37 Bezalel(B) made the ark(C) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[a] He overlaid it with pure gold,(D) both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

He made the atonement cover(E) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. Then he made two cherubim(F) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing(G) the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.(H)

The Table(I)

10 They[b] made the table(J) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[c] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold(K) and made a gold molding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth[d] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings(L) were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

The Lampstand(M)

17 They made the lampstand(N) of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 19 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21 One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(O)

23 They made its seven lamps,(P) as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. 24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent[e] of pure gold.

The Altar of Incense(Q)

25 They made the altar of incense(R) out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high[f]—its horns(S) of one piece with it. 26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 27 They made two gold rings(T) below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.(U)

29 They also made the sacred anointing oil(V) and the pure, fragrant incense(W)—the work of a perfumer.
