Eksodo 40
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 “Imika chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, tsiku loyamba la mwezi.
'On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 Uyikemo bokosi la umboni ndipo uphimbe bokosilo ndi katani.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen 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 bread that is upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
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 incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door 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 door 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 therein.
8 Upange bwalo lozungulira chihemacho ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha bwalolo.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of 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 therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof; 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 vessels, and sanctify 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 base, and sanctify 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 unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.
13 Kenaka umuveke Aaroni zovala zopatulika, umudzoze ndi kumupatula kotero kuti athe kunditumikira monga wansembe.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office.
14 Ubweretse ana ake ndipo uwaveke minjiro.
And thou shalt bring his sons, and put tunics upon them.
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 minister unto Me in the priest's office; and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.'
16 Mose anachita zonse monga Yehova anamulamulira.
Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD 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 day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18 Nthawi imene Mose anayimika chihema, anayika matsinde mʼmalo ake, kuyimitsa maferemu, kulowetsa mitanda ndi kuyika nsichi.
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared 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 upon it; as the LORD 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 set the staves on the ark, and put the ark-cover above upon 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 set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as the LORD 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, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.
23 ndipo anayikapo buledi pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he set a row of bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD 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, over against 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 the LORD; as the LORD 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 thereon incense of sweet spices; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 Kenaka anayika katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And he put the screen of the door 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 the altar of burnt-offering he set at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as the LORD 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 therein, wherewith to wash;
31 ndipo Mose, Aaroni ndi ana ake amasamba manja ndi mapazi awo.
that Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet thereat;
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 came near unto the altar, they should wash; as the LORD 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 reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 Kenaka mtambo unaphimba tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD 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 was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. —
36 Pa maulendo awo onse, mtambo ukachoka pamwamba pa chihema, Aisraeli ankasamukanso pamene analipo.
And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys.
37 Koma ngati mtambo sunachoke, iwo sankasamukanso mpaka tsiku limene udzachoke.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till 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 the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. —
