1 “Tell them to make an altar from acacia wood. It is to be square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and make it (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
Rhining thing hmueihtuk a yun dong nga neh a daang dong nga ah saii. Hmueihtuk te hniboeng la om saeh lamtah a sang te dong thum lo saeh.
2 [They] must make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood as the altar. [Tell them to] cover the whole altar with gold.
Te phoeiah a ki te a kil pali ah saii pah. Te lamkah a ki aka om khaw rhohum ben thil.
3 [They must] make pans in which to put the [greasy] ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. Also [they must] make shovels for cleaning out the ashes, basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooks, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of these things must be made from bronze.
A duen ham a am neh a hmaisoh khaw, a baelcak neh a ciksum khaw, a baelphaih khaw saii, a hnopai boeih te rhohum mah saii.
4 Also [tell them to] make a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They must fasten to each of the corners of the altar a bronze ring for carrying the altar.
Rhohum vairhuek dongkah kutngo la pahak saii lamtah vairhuek dongkah a hmoi pali ah rhohum kutcaeng pali saii pah.
5 [They must] put the grating under the rim that is around the altar. [They must] make it so that it is [inside the altar], halfway down.
Te te hmueihtuk kong dangah a laedil la khueh lamtah vairhuek te hmueihtuk boengli hil om saeh.
6 For [carrying] the altar, [they must] make poles from acacia wood and cover them with bronze.
Te phoeiah rhining thing thingpang te hmueihtuk ham a cung la saii lamtah te te rhohum ben thil.
7 [They must] put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles are for carrying the altar.
A cung te kutcaeng khuila rholh lamtah hmueihtuk a koh vaengah a cung a vae rhoi ah om saeh.
8 The altar will be like a box, made from boards [of acacia wood]. [They must] make it according to these instructions that I am giving you [here] on [this] mountain.”
Te te thingphael aka khui neh saii lamtah tlang ah nang n'tueng bangla saii tangloeng.
9 “Around the Sacred Tent there is to be a courtyard. To form the courtyard, [tell them to] make curtains of fine linen. On the south side, the curtain is to be (50 yards/44 meters) long.

10 [To support/hang the curtain], [tell them to] make twenty bronze posts, and one bronze base for each post. To fasten the curtains to the posts, [they must] make silver hooks, and [metal] rods [covered with] silver [to fasten the curtains to the hooks].
A tung pakul neh a buenhol pakul te rhohum saeh lamtah tung dongkah voei neh a yaeltlang te ngun saeh.
11 [They must] make the same kind of curtains for the north side of the courtyard.
Tlangpuei ben ah khaw thoh te a yun la a yun yakhat lo van saeh. A tung bal khaw a tung pakul neh a buenhol pakul tah rhohum vetih tung dongkah voei neh a yaeltlang te ngun saeh.
12 On the west side [of the courtyard] they must make a curtain (25 yards/22 meters) long. The curtains are to be supported by ten posts, with a base under [each] post.
Khotlak ben kah vongtung la thoh a daang dong sawmnga lo saeh. A tung parha neh a buenhol khaw parha lo saeh.
13 On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard must also be (25 yards/22 meters) wide.
Vongtung kah a daang te khocuk khothoeng ben ah dong sawmnga lo saeh.
14 [Tell them to] make a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide for each side of the entrance [to the courtyard].

17 All the posts around the courtyard must be connected with metal rods covered with silver. The clasps/fasteners must be made of silver, and the bases must be made of bronze.

18 The whole courtyard, [from the east entrance to the west end], must be (50 yards/44 meters) long, and the curtains that enclose it must be (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. All the curtains must be made of fine linen, and all the bases [under the posts] must be made of bronze.
Vongtung kah a yun te dong yakhat vetih a daang dong sawmnga, sawmnga lo ni. Te vaengah a sang dong nga ah hnitang la tak saeh lamtah a buenhol tah rhohum saeh.
19 All the things [that are not made of gold] that are to be used inside the Sacred Tent and in the courtyard, and all the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains, must be made of bronze.

20 “Command the Israeli people that they must bring to you the best kind of olive oil to [burn in] the lamps. [They must bring this oil to you continually], in order that the lamps can burn continually.
Namah loh Israel ca rhoek te uen lamtah hmaithoi dongah hmaivang la phat tok ham olive situi cil a sui te nang taengla hang khuen uh saeh.
21 They must put the lampstand outside of the curtain which is in front of [the sacred chest which contains the stone slabs on which I have written] my commandments. Aaron must take care of the lamps. [After he dies], his descendants must do this work. The lamps are to burn every night, from evening until morning. The Israeli people must obey this regulation throughout all future generations.”
Laipainah hmai, hniyan vongvoel kah tingtunnah dap ah te Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hlaem lamloh mincang hil te te tael uh saeh. He he Israel ca taengkah a cadilcahma ham kumhal kah khosing ni.
