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 shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 Uyikemo bokosi la umboni ndipo uphimbe bokosilo ndi katani.
And you shall put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 Ulowetsemo tebulo ndi kuyika zimene zimakhala pamenepo. Kenaka ulowetse choyikapo nyale ndipo uyikepo nyale zake.
And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and you shall 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 you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6 “Uyike guwa lansembe yopsereza patsogolo pa chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano.
And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 Uyike beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo uyikemo madzi.
And you shall set the vessel that holds water between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shall put water therein.
8 Upange bwalo lozungulira chihemacho ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha bwalolo.
And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 “Utenge mafuta wodzozera ndipo udzoze chihema ndi chilichonse chili mʼmenemo ndipo zidzakhala zoyeretsedwa.
And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shall hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 Kenaka udzoze guwa lansembe lopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Ulipatule guwalo ndipo lidzakhala loyera kwambiri.
And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 Udzoze beseni ndi miyendo yake ndipo uzipatule.
And you shall anoint the vessel that holds water and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 “Ubwere ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano ndipo uwasambitse ndi madzi.
And you shall bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 Kenaka umuveke Aaroni zovala zopatulika, umudzoze ndi kumupatula kotero kuti athe kunditumikira monga wansembe.
And you shall put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
14 Ubweretse ana ake ndipo uwaveke minjiro.
And you shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 Uwadzoze monga momwe unadzozera abambo awo, kotero kuti anditumikire monga ansembe. Kudzozedwako kudzakhala unsembe wawo pa mibado ndi mibado”
And you shall anoint them, as you did anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be 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 fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
19 Kenaka anayika tenti pamwamba pa chihema ndipo anayika chophimba pa tenti monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he spread abroad 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 mercy seat 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 vail of the covering, and covered 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 the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23 ndipo anayikapo buledi pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD 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 the congregation, 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 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 the congregation before the vail:
27 ndipo anapserezapo lubani wonunkhira monga Yehova anamulamulira.
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 Kenaka anayika katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And he set up the hanging at the door of 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 by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the food 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 vessel that holds water between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash likewise.
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 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 the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; 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 hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 Kenaka mtambo unaphimba tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, 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 the congregation, 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 when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 Koma ngati mtambo sunachoke, iwo sankasamukanso mpaka tsiku limene udzachoke.
But if the cloud were 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 fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
