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

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

²“Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering.

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

³This is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, brass,

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

⁴blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair,

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

⁵rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,

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

⁶oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

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

⁷onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

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

⁸Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

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.

⁹According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it.

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.

¹⁰“They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Its length shall be two and a half cubits, its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.

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.

¹¹You shall overlay it with pure gold. You shall overlay it inside and outside, and you shall make a gold molding around it.

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.

¹²You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four feet. Two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

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

¹³You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

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.

¹⁴You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.

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

¹⁵The poles shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it.

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

¹⁶You shall put the testimony which I shall give you into the ark.

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.

¹⁷You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.

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.

¹⁸You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.

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.

¹⁹Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.

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.

²⁰The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

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.

²¹You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you.

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.

²²There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel.

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.

²³“You shall make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth, and one and a half cubits its height.

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

²⁴You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.

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.

²⁵You shall make a rim of a handbreadth around it. You shall make a golden molding on its rim around it.

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.

²⁶You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.

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

²⁷the rings shall be close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table.

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.

²⁸You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.

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

²⁹You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings with. You shall make them of pure gold.

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

³⁰You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always.

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.

³¹“You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of hammered work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

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:

³²There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;

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.

³³three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;

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

³⁴and in the lampstand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;

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.

³⁵and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

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

³⁶Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

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

³⁷You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.

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

³⁸Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.

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

³⁹It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these accessories.

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

⁴⁰See that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you on the mountain.
