1 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 Hla lamhmacuek kah hlasae lamhmacuek khohnin ah tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim te thoh.
“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
3 Te vaengah olphong thingkawng te pahoi khueh lamtah thingkawng soah hniyan neh khuk thil.
Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.
4 Caboei te khaw khuen lamtah a phu te tael pah. Hmaitung te khuen bal lamtah a hmaithoi te tok pah.
Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.
5 Olphong thingkawng hmai ah bo-ul ham sui hmueihtuk te hol lamtah dungtlungim ham thohka kah himbaiyan te yan pah.
Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
6 Te phoeiah hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk te tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim thohka hmai ah hol.
Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
7 Baeldung te tingtunnah dap laklo neh hmueihtuk laklo ah hol lamtah tui pahoi loei pah.
And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
8 Vongtung te pin thoh lamtah vongtung vongka kah himbaiyan te yan pah vetih, akhui la kun nah thohka ah himbai te yanuh.
Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.
9 Koelhnah situi te lo lamtah dungtlungim neh a khuikah a cungkuem te koelh. Te neh a hnopai cungkuem te na ciim daengah ni a cim la a om eh.
Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.
10 Te phoeiah hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk neh a hnopai boeih te koelh. Hmueihtuk te ciim lamtah hmueihtuk te a cim a cim koek la om saeh.
Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.
11 Baeldung neh a kho te khaw koelh lamtah ciim.
Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
12 Te phoeiah Aaron neh anih koca rhoek te tingtunnah dap thohka la khuen lamtah amih te tui hluk.
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
13 Aaron te a cim himbai bai sak lamtah koelh. Anih te ciim lamtah kamah taengah khosoih saeh.
And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.
14 A ca rhoek te khaw khuen lamtah amih te angkidung puei sak.
Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.
15 A napa na koelh bangla amih te koelh lamtah kamah taengah khosoih saeh. Khosoihbi he a cadilcahma ham kumhal due amih koelhnah la om rhoe om saeh,” a ti nah.
Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”
16 BOEIPA loh anih saii sak ham a uen boeih te Moses loh a saii.
Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
17 Te dongah a kum bae dongkah lamhma cuek hla a pha neh hlasae dongkah lamhma cuek hnin ah dungtlungim te a pai sak.
So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
18 Moses loh dungtlungim te a thoh vaengah a buenhol a buen tih a longlaeng te a paek. A thohkalh te a rholh tih a tung te khaw a ling.
When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.
19 Dungtlungim sokah dap te a dih tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla dap imphu te a so, so lamloh a khueh.
Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.
20 Te phoeiah olphong te a khuen tih thingkawng khuiah a khueh. Thingpang te thingkawng dongah a rholh phoeiah tah a tlaeng te thingkawng soah a so lamloh a tloeng.
Moses took the Testimony and placed it in the ark, attaching the poles to the ark; and he set the mercy seat atop the ark.
21 Te phoeiah thingkawng te dungtlungim khuila a khuen tih himbaiyan dongkah hniyan te a yan thil. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla olphong thingkawng te a khuk.
Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and shielded off the ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him.
22 Caboei te tah tingtunnah dap khuikah dungtlungim kaep, tlangpuei hniyan kah kawtpoeng ah a khueh.
Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.
23 A soah BOEIPA hmai kah buh te, BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla buelh a tawn.
He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
24 Hmaitung te tah tingtunnah dap khuikah caboei dan, dungtlungim kaep kah tuithim ah a khueh.
He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle
25 Hmaithoi te BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a tok.
and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
26 Sui hmueihtuk te tingtunnah dap khuikah hniyan hmai ah a khueh.
Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
27 A soah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla botui bo-ul khaw a phum.
and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.
28 Te phoeiah dungtlungim thohka kah himbaiyan te a bang.
Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
29 Hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk te tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim thohka ah a khueh tih te soah te hmueihhlutnah neh khocang khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla a nawn.
He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.
30 Baeldung te tingtunnah dap laklo neh hmueihtuk laklo ah a hol tih hluk ham tui khaw pahoi a khueh.
He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;
31 Te nen te Moses neh Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh a kut a kho a silh uh.
and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.
32 Tingtunnah dap khuila a kun ham vaengah khaw, hmueihtuk la a caeh uh vaengah khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla a silh uh.
They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
33 Dungtlungim ham neh hmueihtuk ham vongtung pin a tung tih vongup vongka kah himbaiyan a yan daengah Moses loh bitat a coeng.
And Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and he hung the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.
34 Te vaengah tingtunnah dap te cingmai loh a thing tih BOEIPA thangpomnah loh dungtlungim ah bae.
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 A soah cingmai yaal tih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah loh dungtlungim ah a bae dongah Moses loh tingtunnah dap khuila kun ham coeng pah pawh.
Moses was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 A longpueng khing ah dungtlungim dong lamloh cingmai a caeh van vaengah ni Israel ca rhoek khaw a caeh uh.
Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.
37 Tedae cingmai a caeh pawt atah a caeh hnin duela cet uh van pawh.
If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
38 A longpueng khing Israel imkhui pum kah mikhmuh ah tah khothaih ah dungtlungim sokah BOEIPA cingmai neh khoyin ah hmai a om pah.
For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys.
