30 Upange guwa lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha lofukizirapo lubani. ² Likhale lofanana mbali zonse. Mulitali masentimita 46, mulifupi masentimita 46, ndipo msinkhu masentimita 91. Nyanga zake zipangidwe kumodzi ndi guwalo. ³ Ukute guwa lonse ndi golide wabwino kwambiri, pamwamba pake, mbali zonse zinayi, pamodzi ndi nyanga zake. Ndipo upange mkombero wagolide kuzungulira guwalo. ⁴ Upange mphete ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzilumikize ku guwa mʼmunsi mwa mkombero, mphete ziwiri ku mbali zonse ziwiri zoyangʼanana. Mphetozo zizigwira nsichi zonyamulira guwalo. ⁵ Upange mizati yamtengo wa mkesha ndipo uyikute ndi golide. ⁶ Uyike guwalo patsogolo pa nsalu yotchinga Bokosi la Chipangano. Apa ndi pamene ndizidzakumana nawe.

Pamene akukonza nyale zija afukizenso lubani. ⁸ Aaroni ayenera kufukizanso lubani pamene ayatsa nyale madzulo kuti lubani akhale akuyaka nthawi zonse pamaso pa Yehova kwa mibado imene ikubwera. ⁹ Pa guwapo usafukize lubani wachilendo kapena kuperekapo nsembe yopsereza kapena nsembe yaufa. Usathire pa guwapo ngakhale nsembe yachakumwa. ¹⁰ Aaroni azidzapereka nsembe yopepesera machimo pa nyanga za guwalo kamodzi pa chaka. Mwambowu uzidzachitika pogwiritsa ntchito magazi a nsembe yopepesera machimo, ndipo zizidzachitika mʼmibado yanu yonse. Choncho guwa lansembelo lidzakhala loyera ndi loperekedwa kwa Yehova.”

¹¹ Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, ¹² “Pamene ukuchita kalembera wa Aisraeli, munthu aliyense ayenera kupereka kwa Yehova chowombolera moyo wake pamene akuwerengedwa. Motero mliri sudzabwera pa iwo pamene ukuwawerenga. ¹³ Izi ndi zimene aliyense wolembedwa mu kawundula ayenera kupereka: theka la sekeli, kutanthauza ndalama zolemera magalamu asanu ndi limodzi malingana ndi kawerengedwe ka ndalama za ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.

Zoperekazi zidzakhala chikumbutso cha Aisraeli pamaso pa Yehova, ndiponso zowombolera miyoyo yanu.”

Limeneli ndi lamulo limene Aaroni, pamodzi ndi ana ndi zidzukulu zake mʼtsogolomo ayenera kumadzalitsatira mpaka muyaya.”

Mafuta Wodzozera

²² Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, ²³ “Utenge zonunkhira bwino kwambiri izi: makilogalamu asanu ndi limodzi a mure wamadzi, makilogalamu atatu a zonunkhira bwino za mtundu wa sinamoni, makilogalamu atatu a nzimbe yonunkhira bwino kwambiri, ²⁴ makilogalamu asanu ndi limodzi a mkesha. Zonsezi zikhale malingana ndi muyeso wa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu. Pakhalenso malita anayi a mafuta a olivi. ²⁵ Ugwiritse ntchito zinthu zimenezi kupanga mafuta opatulika odzozera, mafuta onunkhira, apangidwe ndi mʼmisiri waluso lopanga zonunkhiritsa. Awa adzakhala mafuta opatulika odzozera. ²⁶ Tsono uwagwiritse ntchito podzoza tenti ya msonkhano, Bokosi la Chipangano, ²⁷ tebulo, ndi ziwiya zake zonse, choyikapo nyale ndi zipangizo zake, guwa lofukizirapo lubani, ²⁸ guwa lansembe yopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse, ndiponso beseni pamodzi ndi nsichi yake. ²⁹ Zonsezi uzipatule kuti zidzakhale zopatulika, ndipo chilichonse chimene chidzakhudza zimenezi chidzakhala chopatulika.

³⁰ “Udzoze Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna ndi kuwapatula kuti akhale ansembe onditumikira. ³¹ Tsono awuze a Israeli kuti, mafuta wodzozera awa adzakhala wopatulika mpaka muyaya. ³² Musadzadzozere munthu wamba mafuta amenewa, ndipo musadzapange mafuta wofanana ndi amenewa. Mafutawa ndi wopatulika ndipo akhale woyera kwa inu. ³³ Wina aliyense amene adzapanga mafuta wonunkhira wofanana nawo kapena kudzozera mafutawa munthu wamba osati wansembe ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake.”

³⁴ Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tenga muyeso wofanana wa zinthu zonunkhira izi: sitakate, onika, galibanumu pamodzi ndi lubani weniweni. ³⁵ Uziphatikize pamodzi zonsezi ndi kupanga lubani monga amachitira mmisiri wopanga zonunkhira. Athire mchere ndipo akhale woyera ndi wopatulika. ³⁶ Upere gawo lina mosalala kwambiri ndipo utapepo pangʼono ndi kuyika patsogolo pa Bokosi la Chipangano mu tenti ya msonkhano, kumene ine ndidzakumane nawe. Lubani ameneyu kwa inu adzakhala wopatulika kwambiri. ³⁷ Musapange lubani wanu potsatira njira iyi. Lubani yense wopangidwa mwa njira iyi akhale wopatulika, woperekedwa kwa Yehova. ³⁸ Aliyense amene adzapanga wofanana naye kuti asangalale ndi fungo lake ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake.”

Bezaleli ndi Oholiabu

31 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, ² “Taona, ndasankha Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri, wa fuko la Yuda. ³ Ndipo ndamudzaza ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu kotero kuti ali ndi luso ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu ndipo akudziwa bwino ntchito zonse zamanja monga izi: ⁴ Kulemba ndondomeko ya ntchito zaluso ndi kupanga zinthu zagolide, zasiliva ndi zamkuwa, ⁵ kusema ndi kuyika miyala yokongola, kukonza zinthu zamatabwa ndiponso kugwira ntchito ina iliyonse yamanja. ⁶ Ndasankhanso Oholiabu mwana wa Ahisamaki wa fuko la Dani. Ndiponso ndapereka nzeru kwa anthu aluso motero adzagwira ntchito zonse zimene ndakulamulira kuti zichitike monga izi: ⁷ Kupanga tenti ya msonkhano, bokosi laumboni pamodzi ndi chophimbira chake, ndiponso zonse za mu tenti, ⁸ tebulo ndi zida zake, choyikapo nyale cha golide wabwino kwambiri ndi ziwiya zake zonse, guwa lofukizirapo lubani, ⁹ guwa lansembe yopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse, beseni ndi nsichi yake, ¹⁰ ndiponso zovala zonse zolukidwa, zovala zopatulika za Aaroni wansembe pamodzi ndi za ana ake, zovala pamene akutumikira monga ansembe, ¹¹ ndiponso mafuta odzozera ndi lubani wonunkhira wa ku malo opatulika. Iwo azipanga monga momwe Ine ndinakulamulira.”

Za Sabata

¹² Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, ¹³ “Uza ana a Israeli kuti azisunga Masabata anga. Ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro pakati pa inu ndi Ine pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zanu mʼtsogolomo, chosonyeza kuti Ine ndine amene ndimakuyeretsani.

¹⁴ “Motero muzisunga tsiku la Sabata chifukwa ndi loyera kwa inu. Aliyense amene adetsa tsiku la Sabata ayenera kuphedwa. Aliyense amene agwira ntchito iliyonse pa tsikuli ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake. ¹⁵ Mugwire ntchito kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata, lopuma, tsiku lopatulika la Yehova. Aliyense amene agwira ntchito iliyonse pa tsiku la Sabata ayenera kuphedwa. ¹⁶ Aisraeli onse komanso zidzukulu zawo mʼtsogolo azidzasunga tsiku la Sabata ngati pangano lamuyaya. ¹⁷ Tsiku la Sabata lidzakhala chizindikiro chamuyaya pakati pa Ine ndi Aisraeli chosonyeza kuti Yehova analenga za kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi ndi kuti pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri analeka kugwira ntchito napumula.”

¹⁸ Yehova atamaliza kuyankhula ndi Mose pa phiri la Sinai, anamupatsa Mose miyala iwiri yaumboni, imene Mulungu analembapo ndi chala chake.

Za Fano la Mwana Wangʼombe Wagolide

32 Anthu ataona kuti Mose akuchedwa kutsika mʼphiri, anasonkhana kwa Aaroni ndipo anati, “Bwera utipangire milungu imene idzititsogolera. Kunena za Mose amene anatitulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto, sitikudziwa chimene chamuchitikira.”

² Aaroni anawayankha kuti, “Vulani ndolo zagolide zimene avala akazi anu, ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo muzibweretse kwa ine.” ³ Kotero anthu onse anavula ndolo zagolide ndi kubwera nazo kwa Aaroni. ⁴ Choncho Aaroni analandira golideyo ndipo anamuwumba ndi chikombole ndi kupanga fano la mwana wangʼombe. Kenaka anthu aja anati, “Inu Aisraeli, nayu mulungu wanu amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.”

⁵ Aaroni ataona izi, anamanga guwa lansembe patsogolo pa mwana wangʼombeyo ndipo analengeza kuti, “Mawa kudzakhala chikondwerero cha Yehova.” ⁶ Kotero tsiku linalo anthu anadzuka mmamawa ndithu ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano. Atatha kupereka nsembezo, anthuwo anakhala pansi nayamba kudya ndi kumwa. Kenaka anayimirira nayamba kuvina mwachilendo.

⁷ Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Tsika msanga, chifukwa anthu ako amene unawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto aja adziyipitsa kwambiri. ⁸ Iwo apatuka mwamsanga kuleka kutsatira zimene ndinawalamula. Ndiye adzipangira fano la mwana wangʼombe. Aligwadira ndi kuliperekera nsembe nʼkumati, ‘Inu Aisraeli, nayu mulungu wanu amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto.’ ”

⁹ Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndikuwadziwa anthu amenewa. Iwowa ndi ankhutukumve. ¹⁰ Chifukwa chake undileke kuti mkwiyo wanga uyake pa iwo ndi kuwawononga. Ndipo Ine ndidzakusandutsa kuti ukhale mtundu waukulu.”

¹¹ Koma Mose anapempha chifundo cha Mulungu wake ndipo anati, “Chonde Yehova, chifukwa chiyani mwakwiyira anthu awa amene munawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndi mphamvu yanu yayikulu ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu. ¹² Kodi mukufuna kuti Aigupto azinena kuti, ‘Munali ndi cholinga choyipa chofuna kuwaphera ku mapiri kuno ndi kuwawonongeratu pa dziko lapansi pamene munkawatulutsa ku Igupto kuja?’ Ayi, chonde mkwiyo wanu woyaka ngati motowu ubwezeni ndipo sinthani maganizo ofunira zoyipa anthu anu. ¹³ Kumbukirani atumiki anu, Abrahamu, Isake, Israeli ndi zija munawalonjeza polumbira pa dzina lanu kuti, ‘Ine ndidzachulukitsa zidzukulu zanu ndipo zidzakhala zambiri ngati nyenyezi zakumwamba. Zidzukulu zanuzo ndidzazipatsa dziko lonseli limene ndinalonjeza. Dziko limeneli lidzakhala lawo nthawi zonse.’ ” ¹⁴ Choncho Yehova analeka ndipo sanawachitire choyipa anthu ake monga anaopsezera.

¹⁵ Mose anatembenuka ndi kutsika phiri miyala iwiri ya pangano ili mʼmanja mwake. Miyalayi inalembedwa mbali zonse, kutsogolo ndi kumbuyo komwe. ¹⁶ Miyalayi anayikonza ndi Mulungu. Malembawo analemba ndi Mulungu mozokota pa miyalapo.

¹⁷ Pamene Yoswa anamva phokoso la anthu anati kwa Mose, “Ku msasa kuli phokoso la nkhondo.”

¹⁸ Mose anayankha kuti,

¹⁹ Mose atayandikira msasa ndi kuona mwana wangʼombe ndiponso kuvina, anakwiya kwambiri ndipo anaponya pansi miyala imene inali mʼmanja mwake, ndi kuyiphwanya pa tsinde la phiri. ²⁰ Ndipo iye anatenga mwana wangʼombe amene anthu anapanga uja ndi kumuwotcha pa moto ndi kumuperapera ndikukhala ngati fumbi. Kenaka anawaza fumbilo mʼmadzi ndi kuwamwetsa Aisraeli madziwo.

²¹ Tsono Mose anafunsa Aaroni kuti, “Kodi anthu awa anakuchita chiyani kuti uwachimwitse koopsa chotere?”

²² Aaroni anayankha kuti, “Musakwiye mbuye wanga. Inu mukudziwa kuti anthu awa ndi ovuta. ²³ Iwo anati kwa ine, ‘Bwera utipangire milungu imene idzititsogolera. Kunena za Mose amene anatitulutsa ife mʼdziko la Igupto, sitikudziwa chimene chamuchitikira.’ ²⁴ Choncho ine ndinawawuza kuti, ‘Aliyense amene ali ndi zokometsera zagolide azivule.’ Choncho iwo anandipatsa golide, ndipo ndinamuponya pa moto ndi kupanga fano la mwana wangʼombeyu.”

²⁵ Mose anaona kuti anthuwo anali osokonezekadi chifukwa Aaroni anawalekerera mpaka kusanduka anthu osekedwa pakati pa adani awo. ²⁶ Choncho iye anayima pa chipata cholowera mu msasa ndipo anati, “Aliyense amene ali mbali ya Yehova abwere kwa ine.” Ndipo Alevi onse anapita mbali yake.

²⁷ Ndipo iye anawawuza kuti, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akunena, ‘Pitani ku misasa konse, mulowe ku zipata zonse ndipo aliyense akaphe mʼbale wake, kapena mnzake kapena mnansi wake.’ ” ²⁸ Alevi anachita zomwe Mose analamula, ndipo tsiku limenelo panafa anthu pafupifupi 3,000. ²⁹ Kenaka Mose anati, “Lero mwadzipatula nokha kukhala ansembe otumikira Yehova. Mwachita izi popeza aliyense wa inu wapha mwana wake kapena mʼbale wake. Tsono lero Yehova wakudalitsani.”

³⁰ Mmawa mwake Mose anati kwa anthu onse, “Inu mwachita tchimo lalikulu. Koma tsopano ine ndipita ku phiri kwa Yehova mwina ndikatha kukupepeserani chifukwa cha tchimo lanu.”

³¹ Kotero Mose anabwereranso kwa Yehova ndipo anati, “Aa! Anthu awa achita tchimo lalikulu! Iwo adzipangira milungu yagolide. ³² Koma tsopano, chonde akhululukireni tchimo lawo. Ngati simutero, ndiye mundifute ine mʼbuku limene mwalemba.”

³³ Yehova anamuyankha Mose kuti, “Ndidzafuta mʼbuku aliyense amene wandichimwira. ³⁴ Tsopano pita ukawatsogolere anthu kumalo kumene ine ndinanena, ndipo mngelo wanga adzakutsogolerani. Komabe, nthawi yanga ikadzafika kuti ndiwalange, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha tchimo lawo.”

³⁵ Ndipo Yehova anawakantha anthuwo ndi mliri chifukwa anawumiriza Aaroni kuti awapangire fano la mwana wangʼombe.
