36 “Bezaleli adzagwire ntchito limodzi ndi Oholiabu komanso mwamuna aliyense waluso* amene Yehova wamupatsa nzeru ndi kuzindikira kuti adziwe mmene angagwirire ntchito zonse zopatulika mogwirizana ndi zimene Yehova walamula.”+
2 Kenako Mose anaitana Bezaleli, Oholiabu ndi mwamuna aliyense waluso amene Yehova anaika nzeru mumtima mwake.+ Anaitana aliyense amene anadzipereka mofunitsitsa kugwira ntchitoyo.+
3 Ndipo iwo anatenga kwa Mose zopereka zonse+ zimene Aisiraeli anabweretsa kuti azigwiritse ntchito pa utumiki wopatulika. Koma Aisiraeliwo anapitirizabe kubweretsa kwa Mose nsembe zaufulu mʼmawa uliwonse.
4 Ndiye ntchito yopatulika itayambika, anthu onse aluso anayamba kubwera mmodzimmodzi.
5 Iwo ankauza Mose kuti: “Anthu akubweretsa zinthu zambiri kuposa zimene zikufunikira pa ntchito imene Yehova walamula kuti ichitike.”
6 Choncho Mose analamula kuti alengeze mumsasa wonsewo, kuti: “Amayi ndi abambo, musabweretsenso zinthu zina kuti chikhale chopereka chopatulika.” Ndi mawu amenewa anthuwo anasiya kubweretsa zinthuzo.
7 Zinthuzo zinali zokwanira pa ntchito yonse imene ankafuna kuti ichitike ndipo zinali zambiri kuposa zimene zinkafunika.
8 Choncho anthu onse aluso+ anapanga chihema.+ Anachipanga ndi nsalu 10 zopangira tenti zopangidwa ndi ulusi wopota wabwino kwambiri, ulusi wabuluu, ubweya wa nkhosa wapepo ndi ulusi wofiira kwambiri. Iye* anapeta akerubi pa nsaluzo.+
9 Nsalu iliyonse inali mamita 13* mulitali ndipo mulifupi inali mamita awiri. Nsalu zonse muyezo wake unali wofanana.
10 Kenako analumikiza nsalu 5 pamodzi ndipo analumikizanso nsalu zina 5 zija pamodzi.
11 Atatero anapanga zingwe zopota zabuluu zokolekamo ngowe mʼmphepete mwa nsalu imodzi pamene nsalu ziwirizo zidzalumikizane. Anachitanso chimodzimodzi mʼmphepete mwa nsalu yakumapeto kwenikweni, pamene nsaluzo zidzalumikizane.
12 Anaika zingwe zopota 50 zokolekamo ngowe pansalu imodzi, ndipo anaikanso zingwe zopota 50 zokolekamo ngowe mʼmphepete mwa nsalu inayo kuti zikhale moyangʼanizana pamalo olumikizirana.
13 Pomaliza anapanga ngowe 50 zagolide nʼkulumikiza nsalu za tenti ndi ngowezo moti nsaluzo zinakhala chinsalu chimodzi chopangira chihema.
14 Ndiyeno anapanga nsalu za ubweya wa mbuzi zoyala pachihema. Anapanga nsalu 11.+
15 Nsalu iliyonse inali mamita 13 mulitali ndipo mulifupi inali mamita awiri. Nsalu zonse 11 muyezo wake unali wofanana.
16 Kenako analumikiza nsalu 5 pamodzi komanso analumikiza nsalu zina 6 pamodzi.
17 Atatero anaika zingwe zopota 50 zokolekamo ngowe mʼmphepete mwa nsalu yakumapeto kwenikweni, polumikizirana nsalu ziwirizi. Anaikanso zingwe zopota 50 zokolekamo ngowe mʼmphepete mwa nsalu inayo, pamalo amene nsalu ziwirizi zinalumikizana.
18 Atatero anapanga ngowe 50 zakopa zolumikizira nsaluzo kuti zikhale chinsalu chimodzi.
19 Anapanga chophimba chihemacho cha zikopa za nkhosa zonyika mu utoto wofiira ndi chophimba chinanso pamwamba pake cha zikopa za akatumbu.+
20 Kenako anapanga mafelemu oimika+ a chihema amatabwa a mthethe.+
