Eksodo 40
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Imika chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, tsiku loyamba la mwezi.
On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 Uyikemo bokosi la umboni ndipo uphimbe bokosilo ndi katani.
And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
4 Ulowetsemo tebulo ndi kuyika zimene zimakhala pamenepo. Kenaka ulowetse choyikapo nyale ndipo uyikepo nyale zake.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.
5 Uyike guwa lofukiza la golide patsogolo pa bokosi la umboni ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
6 “Uyike guwa lansembe yopsereza patsogolo pa chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano.
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
7 Uyike beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo uyikemo madzi.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
8 Upange bwalo lozungulira chihemacho ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha bwalolo.
And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
9 “Utenge mafuta wodzozera ndipo udzoze chihema ndi chilichonse chili mʼmenemo ndipo zidzakhala zoyeretsedwa.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.
10 Kenaka udzoze guwa lansembe lopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Ulipatule guwalo ndipo lidzakhala loyera kwambiri.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
11 Udzoze beseni ndi miyendo yake ndipo uzipatule.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
12 “Ubwere ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano ndipo uwasambitse ndi madzi.
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.
13 Kenaka umuveke Aaroni zovala zopatulika, umudzoze ndi kumupatula kotero kuti athe kunditumikira monga wansembe.
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
14 Ubweretse ana ake ndipo uwaveke minjiro.
And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
15 Uwadzoze monga momwe unadzozera abambo awo, kotero kuti anditumikire monga ansembe. Kudzozedwako kudzakhala unsembe wawo pa mibado ndi mibado”
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Mose anachita zonse monga Yehova anamulamulira.
And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
17 Kotero anayimika chihema tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba mʼchaka chachiwiri.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
18 Nthawi imene Mose anayimika chihema, anayika matsinde mʼmalo ake, kuyimitsa maferemu, kulowetsa mitanda ndi kuyika nsichi.
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
19 Kenaka anayika tenti pamwamba pa chihema ndipo anayika chophimba pa tenti monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
20 Iye anatenga miyala ya umboni nayika mʼbokosi lija ndi kuyika chivundikiro pamwamba pake.
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on the ark.
21 Kenaka analowetsa bokosilo mʼchihema ndipo anapachika katani ndi kubisa bokosi la umboni monga momwe Yehova analamulira iye.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22 Mose anayika tebulo mu tenti ya msonkhano kumpoto kwa chihema, kunja kwa katani,
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
23 ndipo anayikapo buledi pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
24 Iye anayikanso choyikapo nyale mu tenti ya msonkhano moyangʼanana ndi tebulo mbali yakummwera kwa chihema.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 Ndipo anayikapo nyale zija pamaso pa Yehova, monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
26 Mose anayika guwa la golide mu tenti ya msonkhano patsogolo pa katani
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
27 ndipo anapserezapo lubani wonunkhira monga Yehova anamulamulira.
And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
28 Kenaka anayika katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
29 Iye anayika guwa lansembe yopsereza pafupi ndi chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo anapereka nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe ya ufa monga Yehova anamulamulira.
And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
30 Iye anayika beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anathiramo madzi wosamba,
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
31 ndipo Mose, Aaroni ndi ana ake amasamba manja ndi mapazi awo.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
32 Iwo amasamba nthawi zonse akamalowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kapena kuyandikira guwa lansembe monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
33 Kenaka Mose anamanga bwalo kuzungulira chihema ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anayika katani ya pa chipata cha bwalo. Kotero Mose anamaliza ntchito.
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.
34 Kenaka mtambo unaphimba tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
35 Mose sanathe kulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano chifukwa mtambo unali utakhazikika pa chihemacho, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
36 Pa maulendo awo onse, mtambo ukachoka pamwamba pa chihema, Aisraeli ankasamukanso pamene analipo.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
37 Koma ngati mtambo sunachoke, iwo sankasamukanso mpaka tsiku limene udzachoke.
And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
38 Kotero mtambo wa Yehova unkakhala pamwamba pa chihema usana, ndi mtambo wamoto umakhala usiku, pamaso pa nyumba yonse ya Israeli pa masiku onse aulendo wawo.
For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
