Exodus 37
1 Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
Bezalel loh rhining thing te thingkawng a yun dong nit ngancawn, a daang dong khat neh tintan, a sang dong khat neh tintan la a saii.
2 He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
Te phoeiah a khui a hman ah sui cilh a ben thil tih a kaep, a kong khaw, sui neh a saii.
3 He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.
A kho pali dongah sui kutcaeng pali a hlawn. A vae khat ben ah kutcaeng panit, a vae khat ben ah kutcaeng panit om.
4 He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
Rhining thing thingpang la a suih tih sui a ben thil.
5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].
Thingpang te thingkawng aka kawt ham thingkawng vae kah kutcaeng dongah a rholh.
6 He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
A tlaeng te sui cilh neh a yun dong nit tintan neh a daang dong at tintan la a saii.
7 He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
Sui cakben cherubim panit te a saii tih te rhoi te a tlaeng kah a hmoi rhoi ah a ben.
8 One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].
Thingkawng tlaeng lamloh khat ben a hmoi ah cherubim pakhat neh khat ben a hmoi ah cherubim pakhat tih cherubim te a hmoi ah a hmuicue panit a saii.
9 [He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
Cherubim aka om rhoi loh a phae a phuel hang rhoi tih a phae neh thingkawng tlaeng te a khu rhoi. A maelhmai rhoi khaw pakhat loh a manuca taengla mael. Te dongah cherubim kah maelhmai te thingkawng tlaeng soah hum uh.
10 Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
Te phoeiah rhining thing te caboei a yun dong nit neh a daang dong khat, a sang dong khat tintan la a saii.
11 He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
Te te sui cilh a ben thil tih a kaep kah a khopnah khaw sui ni a saii.
12 He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
Te ham te a kae a kaep ah kutsom pakhat a khueh tih a kae soah a khopnah te sui neh pin a saii.
13 He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
Te ham te sui kutcaeng pali a hlawn tih kutcaeng te a kho pali kah a kil pali ah a buen.
14 The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
A kae kah voeivang ah caboei aka kawt ham thingpang rholhnah kutcaeng om.
15 He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.
Caboei aka kawt ham thingpang te rhining thing a suih tih sui a ben thil.
16 He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].
Te phoeiah caboei dongkah hnopai la a bael neh a yakbu khaw, tuisi a doeng vaengah kah a tuisi-am neh tui-um khaw sui cilh lamloh a saii.
17 [He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
Hmaitung la sui cilh cakben neh a saii tih hmaitung kah a kho neh a bunang kong khaw a saii. Te lamloh a paimuem neh a rhaiphuelh om.
18 There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
A vae khat ben lamloh hmaitung kah a kong pathum, a vae khat hmaitung kah a kong pathum neh a kaep lamloh a kong parhuk cawn.
19 Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.
A kong pakhat dongah rhaimuem rhaiphuelh neh noepai bunang pathum, a kong pakhat dongah khaw rhaimuem rhaiphuelh neh noepai bunang pathum a saii. Hmaitung lamkah aka cawn a kong parhuk dongah te tlam te a saii.
20 On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.
Hmaitung dongah noepai bunang pali khaw rhaimuem rhaiphuelh neh a khueh.
21 On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
A kong panit hmuiah rhaimuem pakhat neh, a kong panit hmuiah rhaimuem pakhat tih a kong parhuk a cawn dongah a kong panit hmui ah rhaimuem pakhat om bal.
22 All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
Te lamkah a rhaimuem neh a kong te sui cilh a boh neh pakhat la boeih om.
23 Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
Hmaithoi parhih neh a paitaeh khaw a baelphaih khaw sui cilh ni a saii.
24 He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.
Te hmaithoi a hnopai boeih te sui cilh talent khat neh a saii.
25 From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.
Te phoeiah rhining thing te bo-ul hmueihtuk a yun dong khat, a daang dong khat neh hniboeng la om tih a sang dong nit a ki khaw om.
26 He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
Te te sui cilh neh a imphu khaw, a pangbueng phai khaw, a ki khaw a ben thil tih a kaep kah a khopnah te sui a saii.
27 He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.
Te ham te a khopnah hmui ah sui kutcaeng panit a saii. Te te hmueihtuk aka kawt ham thingpang rholhnah la a vae rhoi ah a buen.
28 He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
Rhining thing te thingpang la a suih tih sui a ben thil.
29 He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
Hmuencim kah koelhnah situi neh aka thungnom kutci bangla botui bo-ul cil khaw a saii.
