And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

3 “Chule houbuh sung'a chu hettoh sahna thingkong na koi ding, hiche thing-kong chu muntheng chungnung mun ahin, hichu pondal na khu ding ahi”
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and separate the ark with the vail.

And thou shalt bring in the table, and arrange the order of the showbread upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

And thou shalt set up the court round about, and put up the hanging at the gate of the court.
9 “Kinu thei thao chu choiyin lang houbuh sung'a thil-le-lo ijakai nanu sohkei ding, aboncha atheng ding'a nathenso ding ahi.”
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein; and thou shalt hallow it, with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.
10 “Chule pumgo thilto maicham ahin athilkeo jouse jaona thao nanu ding, atheng ding'a thensona nanei ding ahi. Chuteng hiche maicham chu atheng chungnung'a pang ding ahi.”
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels; and thou shalt sanctify the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.
14 “Chule achapate chengse jong hinpuijin lang abonchaova sangkhol-chol na-ah peh ding ahi.”
And his sons shalt thou bring near, and clothe them with coats:
15 “Apau Aaron thao nanu bang chun, amaho chengse jong thao nanu sohkei ding ahi. Ajeh chu abonchauva keima kinbol thempua pang diu ahi.”
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou hast anointed their father, that they may be priests unto me; and this shall be, that their anointing shall be unto them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Pakaiyin athupeh bang chun Mose'n jong atong kimsoh kei tan ahi.
And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had commanded him, so did he.
17 Kumkit-kum thah lha masa nikho ma sapen'in houbuh chu atung doh tan ahi.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18 Mose'n hichengse jaonan houbuh chu ana-tung doh tan ahi; akhom ho, amoljol ho, pal khom ho abonchan atong kimsoh keiyin ahi.
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
19 Chuin aman houbuh chung lam'a pon akhu'n Pakai thupeh bang'in abol'in ahi.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it above; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20 Aman hettohsahna song-pheng chengse chu alan tingkong sung lam'a chu akoiyin ahi. Chuin aman thingkong chungvum'a chun moljol chu akoilut'in thingkong chungvum'a chun hepi touna akoijin ahi.
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and placed the staves on the ark; and he put the mercy-seat upon the ark above.
21 Aman thingkong chu houbuh lailung'a ahin pu'n pondal kikhu chu ahohdoh paijin, Pakaiyin athupeh bang chun abol in ahi.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the separation, and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 Chuban in Mose'n houbuh sung lam'a chun dokhang akoijin, polam pondal kilan'na achun akoijin ahi.
And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.
23 Chule aman dokhang chung'a chun Pakai angsung'a ding in changlhah akoijin ahi. Hichu Pakai thupeh bang'a abol ahiye.
And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 Aman houbuh lhang lam dokhang chule muntheng laiya chu thaomei atung doh tan ahi.
And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.

And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And the altar of burnt-offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and he offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meat-offering; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 Chu ban in Mose'n houbuh le maicham kimlaija chun kisilna-kong chu akoijin ahi. Aman kong dimset chun twi adip tan, ajeh chu thempu kinbol'a pang hon kisilna'a amanchah ding ahi.
And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.
31 Mose chule Aaron le achapate'n kong- sung'a twi chu kisilna'a aman chah diu ahi.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.
32 Houbuh maicham lam ahinjut lut teng ule, kisil ngimna'a aman jing ding'u ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Mose heng'a athupeh ahi.
When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed themselves; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 Chuin aman houbuh le maicham kimvel chengsea chun pondal akhaiyin ahi. Chule kelkot lam'a jong pondal akhaijin ahi. Ajonan Mose'n natoh ijakai atong kimsoh keijin ahi.
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the hanging of the gate of the court; and so did Moses finish the work.
34 Meibol'in ponbuh chu akhu jeng tan ahile, Pakai loupina chu kikhop khom'na ponbuh adim lha jeng tai.
And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 Mose chu houbuh sung lam'a chun alut thei tapon akiting den tai, ajeh chu meibol lom chu kiheh jeng ahitan, chule Pakai loupi na chun houbuh chu atomlhah jeng ahitai.
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 Tun meibol jong chu houbuh akon'in ahung kitol tan ahile, Israel mite jeng jong meibol chie dungjuijin akitol tha jitauvin ahi.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.
37 Amavang meibol aum den laisen, amaho jong aumden jitauve.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up.
38 Pakaiya konna meibol chun nilhum kei jin houbuh chu atomlha jeng tan, janteng mei-kong in akilah'jin ahile Israel mite'n amittah'uvin amuthei jun ahi. Hiche hin a kholjin na chan uva ahin jui peh ahi.
For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeyings.
