1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 T itiro, kua whakahuatia nei e ahau te ingoa o Petareere, tama a Uri, ko ia nei he tama na Huru, no te iwi o Hura:

“See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3 K ua whakakiia ano ia e ahau ki te wairua o te Atua, ki te ngakau tupato, ki te whakaaro, ki te mohio, ki nga mahi katoa hoki,

I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,

4 H ei whakaaro ki nga mahi a te tohunga, hei mahi i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te parahi,

to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,

5 M o te whakairo kohatu hoki, mo te whakanoho hoki, mo te whakairo rakau, mo te mahi ano hoki i nga mahi katoa.

and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.

6 N a, tenei ano te hoatu nei e ahau hei hoa mona a Ahoriapa tama a Ahihamaka, no te iwi o Rana: kua whakanohoia ano e ahau he mahara ki nga ngakau o te hunga ngakau mahara katoa, hei hanga i nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe;

And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

7 I te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, i tona taupoki, i nga mea katoa o te tapenakara,

the tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent,

8 I te tepu, i ona mea, i te turanga parakore o nga rama, i ona mea katoa, i te aata mo te whakakakara,

the table also and its utensils, and the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,

9 I te aata mo te tahunga tinana, i ona mea katoa, i te takotoranga wai raua ko tona turanga.

the altar of burnt offering also with all its utensils, and the laver and its stand,

10 I nga kakahu mo te mahi minita, i nga kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo te tohunga, i nga kakahu mo ana tama, mo te mahi tohunga,

the woven garments as well, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to carry on their priesthood;

11 I te hinu whakawahi, i te whakakakara reka mo te wahi tapu: kia rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu e ahau ki a koe.

the anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense for the holy place, they are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.” The Sign of the Sabbath

12 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13 K orero ano ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Me whakarite ano e koutou aku hapati: hei tohu hoki ki waenganui oku, o koutou, i o koutou whakatupuranga: kia mohio ai ko ahau, ko Ihowa, te whakatapu nei i a koutou.

“But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘ You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

14 N a me whakarite te hapati; he tapu hoki tena ki a koutou: he mate kau mo te tangata e whakanoa ana i taua ra: ko te tangata hoki e mahi ana i tetahi mahi i reira, ina, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.

Therefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.

15 E ono nga ra e mahia ai te mahi; kei te whitu ia o nga ra te hapati okiokinga, he tapu ki a Ihowa: ko te tangata e mahi ana i tetahi mahi i te ra hapati he mate kau mona.

For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

16 M o reira me mahara nga tama a Iharaira ki te hapati, kia whakaritea te hapati i o ratou whakatupuranga: kia mau tonu tenei kawenata.

So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.’

17 H e tohu tena ra ki waenganui oku, o nga tama a Iharaira, ake ake: e ono hoki nga ra i hanga ai e Ihowa te rangi me te whenua, a i te whitu o nga ra ka okioki, a ta ana tona manawa.

It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”

18 I homai ano e ia ki a Mohi, i te mutunga o tana korero ki a ia i runga i Maunga Hinai, e rua nga papa whakaaturanga, he papa kohatu, he mea tuhituhi na te ringa o te Atua.

When He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
