Exodus 40
1 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im to, khrah hmaloe koek, ni tangsuek naah sah ah.
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 Hnukung thingkhong loe, to kahni imthung ah suem ah, to thingkhong loe payang ih kahni hoiah khuk ah.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 A thungah caboi suem ah loe, hmuennawk boih caboi nuiah suem ah; to pacoengah hmaithawk paanghaih tung to suem ah loe, hmai to paaang ah.
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 the lamps thereof.
5 Hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam to hnukung thingkhong hmaa ah suem ah loe, kahni im akunhaih khongkha ah payang ih kahni hoiah pakaa ah.
And thou shalt 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 Amkhuenghaih kahni im akunhaih khongkha hmaa ah, hmai angbawnhaih hmaicam to suem ah.
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 Kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im hoi hmaicam salakah sabae kathuk to suem ah loe, a thungah tui to lawn ah.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8 Longhma taeng to paka boih ah loe, longhma akunhaih khongkha taengah kahni to payang ah.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 Tak bawhhaih situi to la ah loe, kahni im hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk to nok boih ah; to ih hmuennawk to ciimsak boih ah, to tiah ni kahni im to ciim vop tih.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 To pacoengah hmai angbawnhaih hmaicam hoi hmuennawk to situi nok boih ah loe, hmaicam to ciimsak ah; to tiah ni kaciim koek hmaicam ah om tih.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 Kathuk sabae hoi pahnuthaih a khok to situi nok ah loe, ciimsak ah.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 Aaron hoi a caanawk to amkhuenghaih kahni im khongkha ah caehhaih ah loe, tui amhlusak ah.
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 Aaron hanah kaciim kahni to angkhuksak ah, qaima toksak thai hanah, situi to nok ah loe ciimsak ah.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
14 Anih ih caanawk to angzo haih ah loe, laihaw kasawk to angkhuksak ah.
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 Kai khaeah qaima tok a sak o thai hanah, ampa situi hoi na bawh baktih toengah, a caanawk doeh bawh ah; a caanawk dung khoek to qaima ah oh poe han ih ni nihcae to situi hoiah na bawh, tiah a naa.
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst 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 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah hmuennawk to sak boih.
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 To pongah saning hnetto haih, khrah tangsuek, ni hmaloe koek ah, Mosi mah kahni im to a sak.
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 Mosi mah kahni im sak naah, akhok pahnuthaih hmuennawk to kacakah a sak, thingphaeknawk to a sak moe, takraenghaih thingnawk to sak pacoengah, tungnawk to a sak.
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 To pacoengah kahni im to payuengh moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kani im ranuih to a khuk.
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 Hnukung thingkhong to a lak moe, to thingkhong nuiah aputhaih thing to a hawt pacoengah, palungnathaih tangkhang to a nuiah suek.
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 Thingkhong to kahni imthung ah a sin moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, hnukung thingkhong to payang ih kahni hoiah a khuk.
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 Mosi mah caboi to amkhuenghaih kahni imthung aluek bang, payang ih kahni tasa bangah a suek.
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng hmaa ah takaw to a suek pae.
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 Hmaithawk paaanghaih tung doeh kahni imthung, kahni im aloih bang ah a suek.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng hmaa ah hmaiim to paaang.
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 Mosi mah sui hmaicam to amkhuenghaih kahni imthung, payang ih kahni hmaa ah a suek.
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, to ah hmuihoih to a thlaek.
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 To pacoengah kahni im akunhaih thok taengah kahni to payang.
And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
29 Kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im akunhaih thok taengah hmai angbawnhaih hmacam to a suek moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, to hmaicam nuiah hmai angbawnhaih hoi cang angbawnhaih to a sak.
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 meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 Amkhuenghaih kahni im hoi hmaicam salakah, sabae kathuk to a suek moe, amsaehhaih tui to a lawn.
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash [withal].
31 Mosi, Aaron hoi a caanawk loe to ih tui hoiah khok bannawk to amsaeh o;
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah akun o moe, hmaicam taengah a caeh o naah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe tui hoiah amsaeh o.
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 To pacoengah Mosi mah hmaicam hoi longhma pakaahaih kahni to payang; longhma akunhaih khongkha taengah kahni to payang. To tiah Mosi mah toksakhaih to pacoeng.
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 To naah amkhuenghaih kahni im to tamai mah khuk, kahni im loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 Amkhuenghaih kahni im to tamai mah khuk khoep pongah, Mosi loe kahni imthung ah akun thai ai; to naah kahni im loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.
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 Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o naah, kahni im nui hoiah tamai angkhoeng pacoengah ni a caeh o vop;
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 tamai angkhoeng tahang ai nahaeloe, tamai angkhoeng tahang ai karoek to, kholong caeh o ai.
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 Israel kaminawk kholong caeh o nathung, nihcae boih mikhnuk ah, athun naah Angraeng ih tamai to kahni im nuiah oh, khoving naah loe tamai nuiah hmai to oh.
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.
