< Exodus 27 >

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.
“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono māukupu: ʻe potupotu tatau pe ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea ko e hanga ʻe ono ʻa hono māʻolunga.
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.
Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻi ai ʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā: ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia ʻa hono ngaahi nifo: pea te ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae palasa.
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.
Pea te ke ngaohi hono ngaahi ipu fakatalinga efuefu, mo hono ngaahi huo lafalafa, mo hono ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo hono ngaahi huhu, mo e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi: ko hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ke ke ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae palasa.
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.
Pea te ke ngaohi ki ai ʻae meʻa vangavanga ʻaki ʻae palasa; pea ke ngaohi ʻi he meʻa vangavanga ʻae kavei palasa ʻe fā ʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā.
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.
Pea ke ʻai ia ki lalo ʻi hono ngataʻanga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ki loto, koeʻuhi ke hoko atu ʻae meʻa vangavanga ʻo aʻu [hifo ]ki he vaeua ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
6 For [carrying] the altar, [they must] make poles from acacia wood and cover them with bronze.
Pea ke ngaohi ʻae haʻamo ki he feilaulauʻanga, ko e ongo haʻamo mei he ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae palasa.
7 [They must] put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles are for carrying the altar.
Pea ʻe velo ʻae ongo haʻamo ki he kavei, pea ʻe ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻae ongo haʻamo ke haʻamo ʻaki.
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.”
Ke ke ngaohi ia ʻaki ʻae laupapa ke luoluo ʻi loto: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻi he moʻunga, te nau ngaohi pehē pe ia.
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.
“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae lotoʻā ʻoe fale fehikitaki: ki he potu ʻoku hanga ki tonga ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi puipui tautau ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, ko e hanga ʻe uangeau hono lōloa ki he potu ʻe taha:
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].
Pea ko hono pou ʻe uofulu mo hono ngaahi tuʻunga ko e palasa ia; ko e ngaahi tautauʻanga ʻoe ngaahi pou mo honau tākai ko e siliva ia.
11 [They must] make the same kind of curtains for the north side of the courtyard.
Pea ʻe pehē pe ki he potu tokelau, ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi puipui tautau ko e hanga ʻe uangeau hono lōloa, mo hono pou ʻe uofulu mo honau tuʻunga palasa ʻe uofulu; ko e ngaahi tautauʻanga ʻe ʻi he ngaahi pou mo honau ngaahi meʻa tākai ko e siliva.
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.
Pea ki hono māukupu ʻoe lotoʻā ʻi he potu lulunga ʻe ai ʻoe ngaahi puipui tautau ko e hanga ʻe teau: ke hongofulu honau pou pea hongofulu mo honau tuʻunga.
13 On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard must also be (25 yards/22 meters) wide.
Pea ko hono māukupu ʻoe lotoʻā ʻi he potu hahake ko e hanga ʻe teau.
14 [Tell them to] make a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide for each side of the entrance [to the courtyard].
Koe puipui tautau ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻoe matapā, ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu: ke tolu honau pou, pea tolu mo honau tuʻunga.
Pea ʻi hono potu ʻe taha ʻe ai ʻae puipui tautau ko e hanga ʻe uofulu: ke tolu honau pou, pea tolu mo honau tuʻunga.
16 They must make a curtain (30 feet/9 meters) long for the entrance. A skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. It must be (supported by/hung from) four posts, each one with a base under it.
Pea ʻe ʻai ki he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā ʻae puipui tautau, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, ʻoe lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae tuitui poto: ke fā honau pou, pea fā mo honau tuʻunga.
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.
Ko e ngaahi pou kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe tākai ʻaki ia ʻae siliva; ʻe siliva honau tautauʻanga, pea ko e palasa honau ngaahi tuʻunga.
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.
Ko hono lōloa ʻoe lotoʻā ko e hanga ʻe uangeau, pea ko e hanga ʻe teau ʻa hono māukupu ʻi he potu kotoa pē, pea ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu hono māʻolunga, ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, pea ko e palasa honau ngaahi tuʻunga.
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.
Ko e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi hono fāinga ngāue kotoa pē, mo hono ngaahi faʻo kotoa pē ʻo ia, mo e ngaahi faʻo kotoa pē ʻoe lotoʻā, ko e palasa ia.
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.
“Pea te ke fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi kiate koe ʻae lolo ʻolive maʻa kuo tuki, ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke fakaulo maʻu pe ʻae maama,
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.”
‌ʻI he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he tuʻapuipui, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fuakava, ʻe tuʻu ʻi ʻai ʻe ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha mei he efiafi ki he pongipongi, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ko e fekau fai maʻu pe ia ʻo taʻengata ki honau ngaahi toʻutangata, koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
