Bezalel Builds the Ark
1 Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
1 比撒列用皂莢木作櫃、長二肘半、寬一肘半、高一肘半。2 裡外包上精金、四圍鑲上金牙邊。3 又鑄四個金環、安在櫃的四腳上、這邊兩環、那邊兩環。4 用皂莢木作兩根杠、用金包裹。
The Golden Mercy Seat and Cherubim
5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry it. 6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. 7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8 one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends.
5 把杠穿在櫃旁的環內、以便抬櫃。6 用精金作施恩座、長二肘半、寬一肘半。7 用金子錘出兩個基路伯來、安在施恩座的兩頭。8 這頭作一個基路伯、那頭作一個基路伯、二基路伯接連一塊、在施恩座的兩頭。
Constructing the Golden Table
9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. 10 Then he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long and a cubit wide and one and a half cubits high. 11 He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding for it all around. 12 He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around, and made a gold molding for its rim all around.
9 二基路伯高張翅膀、遮掩施恩座、基路伯是臉對臉、朝著施恩座。10 他用皂莢木作一張桌子、長二肘、寬一肘、高一肘半。11 又包上精金、四圍鑲上金牙邊。12 桌子的四圍各作一掌寬的橫梁、橫梁上鑲著金牙邊。
Table's Poles and Gold Utensils
13 He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. 14 Close by the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. 15 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16 He made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes and its pans and its bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.
13 又鑄了四個金環、安在桌子四腳的四角上。14 安環子的地方、是挨近橫梁、可以穿杠抬桌子。15 他用皂莢木作兩根杠、用金包裹、以便抬桌子。16 又用精金作桌子上的器皿、就是盤子、調羹、並奠酒的瓶、和爵。
Shaping the Lampstand's Branches
17 Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs and its flowers were of one piece with it. 18 There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it; 19 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in the other branch--so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
17 他用精金作一個燈臺、這燈臺的座、和榦、與杯、球、花、都是接連一塊錘出來的。18 燈臺兩旁杈出六個枝子、這旁三個、那旁三個。19 這旁每枝上有三個杯、形狀像杏花、有球、有花．那旁每枝上也有三個杯、形狀像杏花、有球、有花．從燈臺杈出來的六個枝子、都是如此。
Finishing the Golden Lampstand
20 In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers; 21 and a bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22 Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.
20 燈臺上有四個杯、形狀像杏花、有球、有花。21 燈臺每兩個枝子以下有球、與枝子接連一塊．燈臺杈出的六個枝子、都是如此。22 球和枝子是接連一塊、都是一塊精金錘出來的。
Building the Altar of Incense
23 He made its seven lamps with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold. 24 He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold. 25 Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around.
23 用精金作燈臺的七個燈盞、並燈臺的蠟剪、和蠟花盤。24 他用精金一他連得、作燈臺和燈臺的一切器具。25 他用皂莢木作香壇、是四方的、長一肘、寬一肘、高二肘．壇的四角、與壇接連一塊。26 又用精金、把壇的上面、與壇的四面、並壇的四角包裹．又在壇的四圍、鑲上金牙邊。
Making the Anointing Oil and Incense
27 He made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides--on opposite sides--as holders for poles with which to carry it. 28 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29 And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
27 作兩個金環、安在牙子邊以下、在壇的兩旁兩根橫上、作為穿杠的用處、以便抬壇。28 用皂莢木作杠、用金包裹。29 又按作香之法作聖膏油、和馨香料的淨香。
