Essanduuko ey’Endagaano Ekolebwa

37 (A)Awo Bezaaleeri n’akola Essanduuko mu muti gwa akasiya; ng’obuwanvu bwayo mita emu ne desimoolo emu, n’obugazi sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu, n’obugulumivu nabwo sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu. (B)N’agibikkako zaabu omuka ennyo kungulu ne munda, era n’agyetoolooza omuge ogwa zaabu. N’agiweeseza empeta nnya eza zaabu, n’azisiba ku magulu gaayo ana, ng’empeta ebbiri ziri ku ludda lwayo olumu n’endala ebbiri ku ludda lwayo olulala. N’abajja emisituliro mu muti ogwa akasiya, n’agibikkako zaabu, n’agisonseka mu mpeta ziri okusituzanga essanduuko.

(C)N’akolerako ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira nga kya zaabu omuka ennyo; obuwanvu bwakyo bwali mita emu ne desimoolo emu, n’obugazi sentimita nkaaga mu musanvu. (D)N’akolerako ne bakerubi babiri mu zaabu omuweese ku njuyi ebbiri ez’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. Kerubi omu yamuteeka ku ludda lumu olw’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira, ne kerubi omulala ku ludda olwokubiri, nga bakerubi bombi beekutte wamu n’ekisaanikirako, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. (E)Ebiwaawaatiro bya bakerubi yabikola nga bibikkule nga bisonze waggulu, era nga bisiikirizza ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira. Bakerubi ne batunulagana nga boolekedde ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira.

The Ark(A)

37 Bezalel(B) made the ark(C) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[a] He overlaid it with pure gold,(D) both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

He made the atonement cover(E) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. Then he made two cherubim(F) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing(G) the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.(H)
