Exodus 36
Living Bible
36 1-2 “All the other craftsmen with God-given abilities are to assist Bezalel and Oholiab in constructing and furnishing the Tabernacle.” So Moses told Bezalel and Oholiab and all others who felt called to the work to begin. 3 Moses gave them the materials donated by the people and additional gifts were received each morning.
4-7 But finally the workmen all left their task to meet with Moses and told him, “We have more than enough materials on hand now to complete the job!” So Moses sent a message throughout the camp announcing that no more donations were needed. Then at last the people were restrained from bringing more!
8-9 The skilled weavers first made ten sheets from fine linen, then embroidered into them blue, purple, and scarlet Guardian Angels. Each sheet was 42 feet long and 6 feet wide. 10 Five of these sheets were attached end to end, then five others similarly attached, forming two long roofsheets. 11-12 Fifty blue ribbons were looped along the edges of these two long sheets, each loop being opposite its mate on the other long sheet. 13 Then fifty clasps of gold were made to connect the loops, thus tying the two long sheets together to form the ceiling of the Tabernacle.
14-15 Above the ceiling was a second layer formed by eleven draperies made of goats’ hair (uniformly 45 feet long and 6 feet wide). 16 Bezalel coupled five of these draperies together to make one long piece, and six others to make another long piece. 17 Then he made fifty loops along the end of each 18 and fifty small bronze clasps to couple the loops so that the draperies were firmly attached to each other.
19 The top layer of the roof was made of rams’ skins, dyed red, and tanned goatskins.
20 For the sides of the Tabernacle he used frames of acacia wood standing on end. 21 The height of each frame was 15 feet and the width 2-1/4 feet. 22 Each frame had two clasps joining it to the next. 23 There were twenty frames on the south side, 24 with the bottoms fitting into forty silver bases. Each frame was connected to its base by two clasps. 25-26 There were also twenty frames on the north side of the Tabernacle, with forty silver bases, two for each frame. 27 The west side of the Tabernacle, which was its rear, was made from six frames, 28 plus another at each corner. 29 These frames, including those at the corners, were linked to each other at both top and bottom by rings. 30 So, on the west side, there were a total of eight frames with sixteen silver bases beneath them, two for each frame.
31-32 Then he made five sets of bars from acacia wood to tie the frames together along the sides, five for each side of the Tabernacle. 33 The middle bar of the five was halfway up the frames, along each side, running from one end to the other. 34 The frames and bars were all overlaid with gold, and the rings were pure gold.
35 The blue, purple, and scarlet inner[a] curtain was made from woven linen, with Guardian Angels skillfully embroidered into it. 36 The curtain was then attached to four gold hooks set into four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and set into four silver bases.
37 Then he made a drapery for the entrance to the Tabernacle; it was woven from finespun linen, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet. 38 This drapery was connected by five hooks to five posts. The posts and their capitals and rods were overlaid with gold; their five bases were molded from bronze.

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
36 (A)“Bezaaleeri ne Okoliyaabu ne buli musajja mukugu yenna, Mukama gw’awadde obusobozi n’amagezi okumanya okukola omulimu gwonna ku kuzimba eweema ya Mukama, bajja kukola nga Mukama bw’alagidde.”
2 (B)Awo Musa n’ayita Bezaaleeri ne Okoliyaabu, ne buli mukugu yenna Mukama gwe yali awadde amagezi n’obusobozi, era nga yeeyagalidde yekka okukola. 3 (C)Musa n’abakwasa ebirabo byonna abaana ba Isirayiri bye baali batonedde Mukama nga bwe baali beeyagalidde eby’okukozesa eweema ya Mukama. Abantu ne bongera okuleeta ku byabwe ebya kyeyagalire buli nkya. 4 Awo abakozi bali abakugu abaali bakola eweema ya Mukama ne bava ku mirimu gyabwe, 5 (D)ne bajja eri Musa ne bamugamba nti, “Ebirabo abantu bye baleese bisukkiridde obungi ku ebyo ebyetaagibwa okumala omulimu Mukama gwe yalagira okukolebwa.”
6 Awo Musa n’awa ekiragiro ne kibunyisibwa mu lusiisira lwonna nti, “Tewabaawo musajja oba mukazi ayongera okuleeta ekiweebwayo olw’omulimu gw’Eweema ya Mukama.” Bwe batyo abantu ne bagaanibwa okwongera okuwaayo; 7 (E)kubanga ebyo abakozi bye baalina byali bimala omulimu ogwo era n’okufikkawo.
Eweema ya Mukama Ekolebwa
8 Awo bannakinku bonna mu basajja abakozi ne bakola eweema ya Mukama n’emitanda kkumi egya linena omunyoole omulungi ennyo, nga mulimu n’ebya bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu, ne bakerubi nga batungiddwamu n’amagezi mangi. 9 Emitanda gyonna gyali gyenkanankana; ng’omutanda ogumu guweza obuwanvu mita kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu, ate obugazi mita emu ne desimoolo munaana. 10 Baagatta emitanda etaano nga bagisengese, gumu ku gunnaagwo, n’emitanda emirala etaano nagyo ne bagigatta bwe batyo. 11 Ne batunga eŋŋango eza bbululu ku mukugiro gw’omutanda gw’entimbe ogukomererayo mu kitundu ekimu eky’entimbe etaano, era ne batunga n’eŋŋango endala mu ngeri y’emu ku ludda olulala. 12 Baatunga eŋŋango amakumi ataano ku mutanda ogumu, era ne batunga eŋŋango endala amakumi ataano ku mukugiro gw’omutanda ku ludda olulala, eŋŋango nga zoolekaganye. 13 (F)Ne bakola ebikwaso ebya zaabu amakumi ataano, ne bakwasa wamu enjuuyi zombi ez’emitanda n’ebikwaso; eweema ya Mukama n’ebeera wamu nga nnamba.
14 Ne bakola entimbe kkumi na lumu nga zirukiddwa mu bwoya bw’embuzi ne bazibikka ku Weema. 15 Entimbe zonna ekkumi n’olumu zaali zenkanankana: ng’obuwanvu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu, obugazi zaali mita emu n’obutundu munaana. 16 Ne bagatta entimbe ttaano wamu ku bwazo, n’entimbe omukaaga nazo ne bazigatta ku bwazo. 17 Ne batunga eŋŋango amakumi ataano ku mukugiro gw’entimbe ekomererayo ku bwazo, n’eŋŋango amakumi ataano endala ku mukugiro gw’entimbe omulala ku bwazo. 18 (G)Ne bakola ebikwaso eby’ekikomo amakumi ataano, ne babiyisa mu ŋŋango okunyweza enjuuyi zombi ez’entimbe ezo ng’ekintu ekimu. 19 Ne bakola ekibikka ku Weema mu maliba g’endiga ennume nga gannyikiddwa mu langi emyufu; okwo ne babikkako amaliba g’ente ey’omu nnyanja.
20 Awo ne babajja embaawo mu muti gwa akasiya ne baziyimiriza ne zikola entobo ya Weema. 21 Buli lubaawo lwali mita nnya n’ekitundu obuwanvu, ate ng’obugazi zaali sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu. 22 Buli lubaawo baaluteekako obubaawo obuyiseemu bubiri, obw’okukozesa mu kugatta, nga bulekawo amabanga agenkanankana. Embaawo zonna ez’entobo ya Weema ya Mukama bwe baazikola bwe batyo. 23 Baakola embaawo amakumi abiri ne bazissa ku ludda olw’obukiikaddyo obw’Eweema, 24 era ne bakola obubya obutono obwa ffeeza amakumi ana, ne babussa wansi w’obubaawo obuyiseemu obubiri ku buli lubaawo. 25 Ate ku ludda olw’obukiikakkono olw’Eweema ya Mukama ne bakolerayo embaawo amakumi abiri, 26 n’entobo eza ffeeza amakumi ana, bbiri nga ziri wansi wa buli lubaawo. 27 Ne bakola embaawo mukaaga, ne baziteeka ku ludda olw’emabega wa Weema, lwe lw’ebugwanjuba; 28 era ne bakola embaawo endala bbiri ne bazissa ku nsonda ez’oku ludda olwo olw’ebugwanjuba. 29 Ku nsonda zino ebbiri, embaawo zombi baazisiba wamu nabansasaana okuviira ddala wansi okutuuka waggulu, ne bazinyweza n’empeta. 30 Noolwekyo waaliwo embaawo munaana, n’entobo eza ffeeza kkumi na mukaaga, nga buli lubaawo wansi waalwo eriyo bbiri bbiri.
31 Ne bakola emikiikiro mu muti gwa akasiya. Emikiikiro etaano ne bagikozesa ku mbaawo eziri ku lusebenju lwa Weema olumu, 32 n’emikiikiro etaano ku mbaawo eziri ku lusebenju lwa Weema olulala, n’emikiikiro etaano ne bagikozesa ku mbaawo eziri ku ludda olw’emabega wa Weema olw’ebugwanjuba. 33 Ne bassaayo omulabba nga guyita wakati w’embaawo nga guva ku ludda olumu okutuuka ku ludda olulala. 34 Embaawo ne bazibikkako zaabu, era ne bakola empeta eza zaabu ne bazisibisa emikiikiro; n’emikiikiro nagyo ne bagibikkako zaabu.
Eggigi Likolebwa
35 (H)Baakola eggigi mu wuzi eza bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu ne linena omulebevu omulungi alangiddwa; era omukozi omukugu n’atungiramu bakerubi. 36 Ne baliwanika n’amalobo aga zaabu ku mpagi nnya ezaabajjibwa mu muti gwa akasiya, nga zibikkiddwako zaabu, era nga zisimbiddwa mu ntobo eza ffeeza. 37 (I)Ne bakola olutimbe olw’omu mulyango gwa Weema mu wuzi eza bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu ne linena omulebevu alangiddwa obulungi. 38 Ne balukolera empagi ttaano nga bazibazze mu muti gwa akasiya, ne baziteekako n’amalobo gaazo. Ne babikka zaabu kungulu ku mpagi ne ku bisiba byazo. Entobo zaazo ettaano ne bazikola mu kikomo.
