Exodus 36
1 “Bezalel and Oholiab, and all the other men to whom Yahweh has given ability and enabled them to understand how to do all the work to make the Sacred Tent, must make everything just as Yahweh has commanded.”
“Pea naʻe toki ngāue ʻa Pesalili mo ʻAholiapi, mo e tangata loto poto kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Sihova ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻanga, ke nau ʻilo ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē ki he ngāue ʻoe fale tapu, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ki ai ʻe Sihova.”
2 So Moses/I summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some of the work.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese ʻa Pesalili, mo ʻAholiapi, mo e tangata loto poto kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo tuku ki hono loto ʻe Sihova ʻae poto, ʻio, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo langaʻi ia ʻe hono loto ke haʻu ki he ngāue ke fai ia:
3 Moses/I gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the Sacred Tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.
Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻia Mōsese ʻae meʻaʻofa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngāue ʻoe fale tapu, mo hono ngaohi. Pea naʻa nau kei ʻomi kiate ia ʻae meʻaʻofa ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē.
4 As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe fale tapu, ʻo haʻu taki taha ʻae tangata mei he ngāue naʻa ne fai;
5 and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”
Pea naʻa nau lea kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻae meʻa ʻoku lahi hake noa pē ki he ngāue ʻoku fai ni, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke ngaohi.”
6 So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, pea naʻa nau fekau ke fanongonongo ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻapitanga, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻoua naʻa kei fai ha teuteu meʻaʻofa ʻe ha tangata pe ha fefine ki he fale tapu.” Ko ia naʻe taʻofi ai ʻae kakai ʻi he fetuku.
7 What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!
He ko e meʻa kuo nau maʻu, naʻe lahi ia ki he ngāue kotoa pē ke ngaohi, pea naʻe toe.
8 All the most skilled men among the workmen made the Sacred Tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make figures that resembled the winged creatures.
Pea ko e tangata loto poto kotoa pē ʻiate kinautolu naʻa nau fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki, naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻe hongofulu ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho: naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi selupimi ʻoe ngāue fakapotopoto.
9 Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
Ko hono lōloa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe nimangofulu ma ono, pea ko hono laulahi ʻoe puipui ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe valu: pea naʻe fua tatau pe ʻae puipui kotoa pē.
10 They sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.
Pea ne fakamaʻu ke fakataha ʻae puipui ʻe nima: pea ko hono puipui ʻe nima ʻoku toe naʻa ne fakamaʻu ke fakataha.
11 For each set, they made loops of blue [cloth] and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kavei lanumoana, ʻi he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha mei he hokoʻanga ʻi he fakamaauʻanga: pea naʻe fai pehē ʻi he kapa kituʻa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha, ʻi he hokoʻanga ʻo hono ua.
12 They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae kavei ʻe nimangofulu ʻi he puipui ʻe taha mo e kavei ʻe nimangofulu ʻi he kapa ʻoe puipui, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he hokoʻanga ʻo hono ua: naʻe fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae kavei ʻae puipui ʻe taha ki he taha.
13 They made 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the Sacred Tent was [as though it was] one piece.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fakamaʻu koula ʻe nimangofulu, ʻo ne fakahoko ʻaki ʻae fakamaʻu ʻae puipui ʻe taha ki he taha: pea naʻe hoko ia ko e fale fehikitaki pe taha.
14 They made a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi puipui fulufuluʻi kosi ke ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki: naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻe hongofulu ma taha.
15 Each piece of cloth was (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
Ko hono lōloa ʻoe puipui ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu, mo hono lau lahi ʻoe puipui pe taha ko e hanga ʻe valu: naʻe fua tatau pe ʻae puipui ʻe hongofulu ma taha.
16 They sewed five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and they sewed the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set.
Pea naʻa ne fakamaʻu ʻae puipui ʻe nima ke taha pe, mo e puipui ʻe ono ke taha pe.
17 They made 100 loops [of blue cloth]. They fastened 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae kavei ʻe nimangofulu ki he kapa ʻi ʻolunga ʻoe puipui ʻi he hokoʻanga, mo ne ngaohi ʻae kavei ʻe nimangofulu ki he kapa ʻoe puipui ʻaia ʻoku ne hoko ki hono ua.
18 They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae fakamaʻu palasa ʻe nimangofulu ke fakamaʻu fakataha ʻae faletupenu ke taha pe ia.
19 They made two more covers for the Sacred Tent. They made one from rams’ skins that had been (tanned/dyed red), and they made the top cover from goatskin leather.
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae meʻa fakapulonga ki he fale fehikitaki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kili ʻoe sipitangata tukukula, mo e meʻa fakapulonga ʻe taha ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ai, ko e kili ʻoe pasia.
20 They made frames from acacia wood and set them up [to support the covers for the Sacred Tent].
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi laupapa ki he fale fehikitaki ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sitimi ke tuʻu tonu.
21 Each frame was (15 feet/4.5 meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
Ko hono lōloa ʻoe laupapa ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe uofulu, mo hono lau lahi ʻoe laupapa ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolu.
22 They made two projections at the bottom of each frame. These were for fastening the frames to the bases underneath them. Each frame had these projections.
Naʻe ua hono mui ki he laupapa ʻe taha, pea tatau pe hono mamaʻo ʻoe taha ki he taha: pea naʻa ne fai pehē pe ki he ngaahi laupapa kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
23 The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi laupapa ki he fale fehikitaki; ko e laupapa ʻe uofulu ki he faʻahi ki tonga ke hanga ki tonga;
24 They made 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga siliva ʻe fāngofulu ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe uofulu; ko e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha ki hono mui ʻe ua, mo e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo he laupapa ʻe taha ki hono mui ʻe ua.
25 [Similarly], they made 20 frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
Pea ko hono faʻahi ʻe taha ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he tuliki fakatokelau, naʻa ne ngaohi ki ai ʻae laupapa ʻe uofulu,
26 They made 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases for under each frame.
Mo honau tuʻunga siliva ʻe fāngofulu ko e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha, mo e tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi lalo ʻi he laupapa ʻe taha.
27 For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, they made six frames.
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae laupapa ʻe ono ki he potu lulunga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
28 They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
Pea ne ngaohi ʻae laupapa ʻe ua ki he tuliki ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻi hono faʻahi ʻe ua.
29 The two corner frames were joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames they fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
Pea naʻe fakamaʻu ia ki lalo, pea fakamaʻu ke fakataha ia ʻi he ʻulu ʻo ia, ki he kavei pe taha: pea fai pehē pe ʻe ia ki ai ʻi he tuliki ʻe ua.
30 In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there were eight frames, and there were 16 bases, two bases under each frame.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laupapa ʻe valu; pea ko honau tuʻunga ko e tuʻunga siliva ʻe hongofulu ma ono, naʻe ua ʻae tuʻunga ʻi lalo ʻoe laupapa kotoa pē.
31 The workmen made 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu ʻoe sitimi; ko e nima ki he ngaahi laupapa ʻi he faʻahi ʻe taha ʻoe fale fehikitaki,
32 Five of them were for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
Mo e ʻakau fakamaʻu ʻe nima ki ha ngaahi laupapa ʻoe faʻahi ʻe taha ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea mo e ʻakau fakamaʻu ʻe nima ki he ngaahi laupapa ʻi he potu lulunga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
33 The crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent were fastened to the middle of the frames. The two long crossbars extended from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side extended from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other side.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻakau fakamaʻu ʻi loto ke velo ʻi he laupapa kotoa pē mei he potu ʻe taha ʻo aʻu atu ki he potu ʻe taha.
34 The workmen covered the frames with gold and fastened gold rings to the poles. The crossbars [were put] into the rings. The crossbars were [also] covered with gold.
Pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi laupapa kotoa pē, ʻo ngaohi honau ngaahi kavei ko e koula, ke velo ai ʻae ʻakau fakamaʻu, pea ne ʻaofi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae koula.
35 They made a curtain from fine white linen. Skilled craftsmen embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making designs [that resembled] the winged creatures.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻaki ʻae lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale: pea naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻae ngaahi selupimi ʻi he ngāue fakapotopoto.
36 They suspended/hung the curtain from four posts that were made from acacia [wood] and covered with gold. They set [each] post in a silver base.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ki ai ʻae pou ʻe fā ʻoe ʻakau ko e sitimi, ʻo ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula: ko e koula hono tautauʻanga; pea naʻa ne haka ki ai ʻae tuʻunga siliva ʻe fā.
37 They made a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They made it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae meʻa tautau ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻaki ʻae lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, ʻoe ngāue tuitui;
38 [To support this curtain], they also made five posts from acacia wood and fastened gold clasps/fasteners to them. They completely covered the posts with gold. They also made a bronze base for each of those posts.
Mo hono pou ʻe nima ʻo ia, mo e ngaahi tautauʻanga: pea naʻa ne ʻaofi honau ʻuluʻi pou, mo honau ngaahi tākai ʻaki ʻae koula: ka ko honau tuʻunga ʻe nima ko e palasa ia.
