¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹¶ Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

²`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.

²Korero atu ki nga tama a Iharaira, kia maua mai e ratou he whakahere maku: me tango e koutou te whakahere maku i nga tangata katoa e hihiko noa mai ana o ratou ngakau.

³`And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass,

³Ko te whakahere ano tenei e tangohia e koutou i a ratou; he koura, he hiriwa, he parahi,

⁴and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats` [hair],

⁴Me te kakahu puru, me te papaura, me te ngangana, me te rinena pai, me te huruhuru koati,

⁵and rams` skins made red, and badgers` skins, and shittim wood,

⁵Me nga hiako hipi kua oti te whakawhero, me nga hiako pateri, me etahi rakau, he hitimi;

⁶oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices,

⁶Te hinu mo te whakamarama, nga mea kakara mo te hinu whakawahi, mo te whakakakara reka hoki,

⁷shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

⁷Nga kohatu onika, me nga kohatu hei whakanoho ki te epora, ki te kouma.

⁸`And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;

⁸A kia hanga e ratou he wahi tapu moku; kia noho ai ahau i waenganui i a ratou.

⁹according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].

⁹Kia rite a koutou e hanga ai ki nga mea katoa e whakakitea nei e ahau ki a koe, ki te tauira o te tapenakara, ki te tauira hoki o ona mea katoa.

¹⁰`And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

¹⁰¶ Me hanga ano hoki e ratou he aaka, ki te hitimi te rakau: kia rua nga whatianga me te hawhe te roa, kia kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui, a kia kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te teitei.

¹¹and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

¹¹A me whakakikorua e koe ki te koura parakore; me whakakikorua e koe taua mea, a roto, a waho, me hanga ano hoki e koe he niao koura a tawhio noa.

¹²`And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

¹²Kia wha ano nga mowhiti koura e whakarewaia mo taua aaka, ka whakanoho ai ki nga poti e wha; kia rua mowhiti ki tetahi taha ona, kia rua mowhiti ki tetahi taha ona.

¹³and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,

¹³Me hanga ano e koe etahi rakau amo, ki te hitimi te rakau, ka whakakikorua hoki ki te koura;

¹⁴and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them,

¹⁴Ka kuhu ai i nga rakau amo ki roto ki nga mowhiti i nga taha o te aaka, kia ai aua mea hei maunga mo te aaka.

¹⁵in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;

¹⁵Hei nga mowhiti o te aaka nga amo mau ai; kaua e unuhia ki waho.

¹⁶and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.

¹⁶A me hoatu e koe ki roto ki te aaka te whakaaturanga e hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

¹⁷`And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

¹⁷Me hanga ano e koe te taupoki ki te koura parakore: kia rua nga whatianga me te hawhe tona roa, kia kotahi hoki whatianga me te hawhe tona whanui.

¹⁸and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

¹⁸Me hanga ano etahi kerupima, kia rua, he mea patu te koura e hanga ai aua mea a puta noa, mo nga pito e rua o te taupoki.

¹⁹and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.

¹⁹Me hanga hoki tetahi kerupi ki tetahi pito, me tetahi kerupi ki tetahi pito: me hono nga kerupima ki te taupoki, ki ona pito e rua.

²⁰`And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another — towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

²⁰A ka roha whakarunga nga parirau o nga kerupima, me te uhi ano i te taupoki ki o raua parirau, ka anga ano o raua mata ki a raua; ka anga ki te taupoki nga mata o nga kerupima.

²¹`And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;

²¹A me whakanoho e koe te taupoki ki runga ki te aaka; me hoatu ano ki roto ki te aaka te whakaaturanga e hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

²²and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

²²A ka tutaki ahau ki a koe ki reira, ka korerotia ano ki a koe i runga i te taupoki i waenganui i nga kerupima e rua, i era i runga i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, nga mea katoa e whakahau ai ahau ki a koe mo nga tama a Iharaira.

²³`And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

²³¶ Me hanga ano e koe tetahi tepu, ki te hitimi te rakau: kia rua nga whatianga te roa, kia kotahi whatianga te whanui, kia kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te teitei.

²⁴and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about,

²⁴Me whakakikorua taua mea ki te koura parakore, ka hanga ai i tetahi niao koura mona a tawhio noa.

²⁵and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.

²⁵Me hanga ano he awhi mo taua mea, hei te whanui ringa a tawhio noa; me hanga ano he niao koura mo tona awhi a tawhio noa.

²⁶`And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet;

²⁶Me hanga ano etahi mowhiti koura, kia wha, mo taua mea, ka whakanoho ai i nga mowhiti ki nga poti e wha i ona waewae e wha.

²⁷over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table;

²⁷Hei te taha tonu ake o te awhi nga mowhiti, hei kuhunga atu mo nga amo hei maunga mo te tepu.

²⁸and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them;

²⁸He hitimi te rakau e hanga ai e koe nga amo; me whakakikorua ano ki te koura; a ka ai aua mea hei maunga mo te tepu.

²⁹and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them;

²⁹Me hanga ano ona rihi, ona koko, ona kapu, me nga peihana mo nga ringihanga: me hanga ki te koura parakore.

³⁰and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.

³⁰Me whakatakoto tonu te taro aroaro ki te tepu, ki toku aroaro.

³¹`And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same;

³¹¶ Me hanga ano te turanga rama ki te koura parakore: me patu te mahina o te turanga rama tae noa ki tona take, ki ona peka; ko ona kapu, ko ona puku, me ona puawai he kotahi me ia.

³²and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side;

³²A kia ono nga peka e puta ake i ona taha; e toru nga peka o te turanga rama i tetahi taha, e toru hoki nga peka o te turanga rama i tetahi taha:

³³three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick.

³³Kia toru nga kapu, he mea rite ki te puawai aramona, te puku, me te puawai, ki te peka kotahi; me nga kapu e toru, he mea rite ki te puawai aramona ki tetahi atu peka, te puku, me te puawai: me pera tonu i nga peka e ono e puta ake ana i te tura nga rama.

³⁴`And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers;

³⁴Kia wha ia nga kapu o te turanga rama, kia rite ki te puawai aramona, te puku, me te puawai, o tetahi, o tetahi.

³⁵and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick;

³⁵A e rua ona peka, kia kotahi puku o raro ake, he mea kotahi; e rua ona peka, kia kotahi puku o raro ake, he mea kotahi; e rua ona peka, kia kotahi puku o raro ake, he mea kotahi ano, o nga peka e ono e puta mai ana i te turanga rama.

³⁶their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

³⁶No te mea kotahi nga puku, nga peka: ko taua mea katoa, he mea patu, kotahi tonu, he korua parakore.

³⁷and thou hast made its seven lamps, and [one] hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.

³⁷Me hanga ona rama e whitu: a me tahu ona rama, hei whakamarama i tona hangaitanga atu.

³⁸`And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;

³⁸Me koura parakore ano ona kuku me ona oko ngarahu.

³⁹of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels.

³⁹Kia kotahi taranata koura parakore e hanga ai taua mea, me ena oko katoa.

⁴⁰And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.

⁴⁰Kia tupato ano kia hanga aua mea kia rite ki te tauira i whakakitea ki a koe i te maunga.
