36  Na ka mahi a Petareere raua ko Ahoriapa, ratou ko nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa, i homai nei e Ihowa he ngakau tupato ki a ratou, me te whakaaro e mohiotia ai te mahi i nga tini mahi, o nga mea o te wahi tapu, o te pera me nga mea katoa i whakah aua e Ihowa.

A i karangatia e Mohi a Petareere raua ko Ahoriapa, me nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa; i homai nei e Ihowa he mahara ki o ratou ngakau, nga tangata katoa i toko ake o ratou ngakau kia haere ki te mahi mahi ai:

Na ka tangohia e ratou i te aroaro o Mohi nga whakahere katoa i kawea e nga tama a Iharaira hei hanga i nga mea mo te wahi tapu, kia oti. I kawea ano e ratou he whakahere homai noa ki a ia i tenei ata, i tenei ata.

Na ka haere mai nga tangata mohio katoa, nga kaimahi o nga mea katoa o te wahi tapu, tera, tera, i tana mahi i mahi ai;

A ka korero ki a Mohi, ka mea, He nui noa atu ta te iwi e kawe mai nei mo te mahinga o nga mea i whakahaua e Ihowa kia meatia.

Na ka whakahau a Mohi, a ka pa te karanga i te puni, ka mea, Kaua tetahi tane, wahine ranei e mahi i tetahi atu mahi hei whakahere mo te wahi tapu. Na ka whakamutua te kawe mai a te iwi.

He nui hoki, a toe ake, nga mea i a ratou mo te mahinga o nga mea katoa.

Na nga tangata ngakau mohio katoa o nga kaimahi i hanga te tapenakara ki nga pihi kotahi tekau, ki te rinena miro pai, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana: he tohunga rawa te mahinga o nga kerupima i whatua ki roto.

E rua tekau ma waru whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, e wha whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi: rite tonu te nui o nga pihi katoa.

10 I honoa e ia nga pihi e rima tetahi ki tetahi: me era atu pihi e rima hoki, i honoa e ia tetahi ki tetahi.

11 A i hanga ano e ia etahi koropiko puru ki te taha o tetahi pihi, ki te taha e honoa ana: i pera ano tana mahi ki te taha ki waho o tetahi pihi, ki te hononga mai o te rua.

12 E rima tekau nga koropiko i hanga e ia ki tetahi pihi, e rima tekau hoki nga koropiko i hanga e ia ki te taha o te pihi i te hononga mai o te rua: a i mau nga koropiko tetahi ki tetahi.

13 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi toromoka koura e rima tekau, a honoa ana nga pihi tetahi ki tetahi ki nga toromoka: a ka kotahi ano te tapenakara.

14 I hanga ano e ia etahi pihi ki te huruhuru koati, hei teneti mo runga i te tapenakara: kotahi tekau ma tahi nga pihi i hanga e ia.

15 E toru tekau whatianga te roa o te pihi kotahi, e wha hoki nga whatianga te whanui o te pihi kotahi, rite tonu te nui o nga pihi kotahi tekau ma tahi.

16 A i honoa e ia nga pihi e rima ki a ratou ano, me nga pihi e ono ki a ratou ano.

17 I hanga ano e ia nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa ki waho o te pihi i te hononga, i hanga ano e ia nga koropiko e rima tekau ki te tapa o te pihi e honoa mai ai te rua.

18 I hanga ano e ia nga toromoka parahi e rima tekau, hei hono i te teneti kia kotahi.

19 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi hiako hipi he mea whakawhero, hei uhi mo te teneti, me etahi hiako pateri hei uhi mo waho atu.

20 I hanga ano hoki e ia etahi papa mo te tapenakara, he hitimi te rakau, he mea tu ki runga.

21 Kotahi tekau whatianga te roa o te papa kotahi, kotahi whatianga me te hawhe te whanui o te papa kotahi.

22 E rua nga arero o te papa kotahi, he mea hono ki a raua: he pera tonu tana i mea ai ki nga papa katoa o te tapenakara.

23 I hanga ano e ia nga papa mo te tapenakara: e rua tekau nga papa mo te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga:

24 E wha tekau hoki nga turanga hiriwa i hanga e ia mo nga papa e rua tekau; e rua nga turanga i raro i tetahi papa mo ona arero e rua, e rua hoki nga turanga i raro i tetahi atu papa mo ona arero e rua.

25 A e rua tekau nga papa i hanga e ia mo tera taha o te tapenakara, mo te taha ki te raki.

26 Me nga turanga hiriwa e wha tekau; nga turanga e rua mo raro iho i tetahi papa, me nga turanga e rua mo raro i tetahi atu papa.

27 A mo te tuarongo o te tapenakara whaka te hauauru, e ono nga papa i hanga e ia.

28 E rua hoki nga papa i hanga e ia mo nga koki o te tapenakara i te tuarongo.

29 A i honoa aua papa i raro, i honoa ano i runga ki te mowhiti kotahi: i peratia e ia aua papa e rua i nga koki e rua.

30 Na ka waru aua papa; me nga turanga hiriwa, kotahi tekau ma ono nga turanga; e rua nga turanga i raro i tetahi papa, i tetahi papa.

31 I hanga ano e ia etahi kaho, he hitimi te rakau: e rima mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara,

32 E rima hoki nga kaho mo nga papa o tetahi taha o te tapenakara, a e rima nga kaho mo nga papa o te tapenakara, mo te tuarongo ki te hauauru.

33 A ko to waenga kaho i meinga e ia kia rere na waenganui o nga papa i tetahi pito ki tetahi pito.

34 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga papa ki te koura, a ka hanga nga mowhiti o aua papa ki te koura hei kuhunga mo nga kaho; i whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga kaho ki te koura.

35 I hanga ano e ia he arai ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai; he tohunga rawa te mahinga o nga kerupima i whatua e ia ki roto.

36 I hanga ano e ia ona pou e wha ki te hitimi, a whakakikoruatia iho e ia ki te koura; he koura nga matau: i whakarewaina ano e ia nga turanga hiriwa e wha mo aua mea.

37 I hanga ano he pa mo te whatitoka o te teneti ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai hoki, he mea mahi ki te ngira;

38 Me ona pou e rima, me nga matau a aua pou: a i whakakikoruatia e ia nga pito ki runga o aua pou me nga awhi ki te koura: ko nga turanga e rima ia he parahi.

36 So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person(A) to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary(B) are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded.”

Then Moses summoned Bezalel(C) and Oholiab(D) and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability and who was willing(E) to come and do the work. They received from Moses all the offerings(F) the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough(G) for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.”

Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more(H) than enough to do all the work.

The Tabernacle(I)

All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands. All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] 10 They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. 11 Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set. 12 They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.(J)

14 They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 15 All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[b] 16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. 17 Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 18 They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.(K) 19 Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[c]

20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[d] 22 with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 24 and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 25 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames 26 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 28 and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. 29 At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike. 30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

31 They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 33 They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. 34 They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35 They made the curtain(L) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. 36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases. 37 For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;(M) 38 and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.
