Exodus 40

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

2 “On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

٢ «تُقِيمُ مَسْكَنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ).

3 Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.

٣ وَتَضَعُ فِيهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشَرُ، وَتَسْتُرُهُ بِالْحِجَابِ.

4 Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.

٤ ثُمَّ تُدْخِلُ الْمَائِدَةَ وَتُرَتِّبُ أَوَانِيهَا عَلَيْهَا، وَأَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَتُضِيءُ سُرُجَهَا.

5 Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

٥ وَتَضَعُ مَذْبَحَ الْبَخُورِ الذَّهَبِيَّ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ الْقَائِمِ وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ، وَتُعَلِّقُ سَتَائِرَ بَابِ الْمَسْكَنِ.

6 Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

٦ وَتَجْعَلُ مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ النُّحَاسِيَّ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

7 And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

٧ ثُمَّ تَضَعُ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ بَيْنَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَامْلأْهُ بِالْمَاءِ.

8 Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.

٨ وَتَنْصِبُ سَتَائِرَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ، وَتُعَلِّقُ سِتَارَ مَدْخَلِهَا.

9 Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

٩ وَتَأْخُذُ دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ وَتَمْسَحُ بِهِ الْخَيْمَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَتُقَدِّسُ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهَا لِتَكُونَ مُخَصَّصَةً لِي.

10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

١٠ وَتَمْسَحُ أَيْضاً مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَجَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ لِيَكُونَ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ.

11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

١١ وَكَذَلِكَ تَمْسَحُ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ وَقَاعِدَتَهُ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ.

12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

١٢ وَتُحْضِرُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَتَغْسِلُهُمْ بِمَاءٍ.

13 And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.

١٣ وَتُلْبِسُ هَرُونَ ثِيَابَهُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، وَتَمْسَحُهُ وَتُكَرِّسُهُ كَاهِناً لِخِدْمَتِي.

14 Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

١٤ ثُمَّ تُحْضِرُ بَنِيهِ وَتُلْبِسُهُمْ أَقْمِصَتَهُمْ أَيْضاً.

15 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.”

١٥ وَتَمْسَحُهُمْ كَمَا مَسَحْتَ أَبَاهُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَهَنَةً لِي. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْمَسْحَةُ مَسْحَةَ كَهَنُوتٍ لَهُمْ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ».

16 Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.

١٦ فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ.

17 So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.

١٧ فَأَقَامَ الْمَسْكَنَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (لِلسَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ).

18 When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.

١٨ وَصَبَّ قَوَاعِدَهُ وَوَضَعَ أَلْوَاحَهُ وَعَوَارِضَهُ، وَنَصَبَ أَعْمِدَتَهُ.

19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.

١٩ وَبَسَطَ السَّقْفَ فَوْقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَوَضَعَ غِطَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

20 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.

٢٠ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ لَوْحَيِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرِ وَوَضَعَهَا فِي التَّابُوتِ، وَوَضَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ عَلَى التَّابُوتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

21 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.

٢١ وَحَمَلَ التَّابُوتَ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، وَسَتَرَ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ بِالْحِجَابِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

22 Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

٢٢ وَأَقَامَ الْمَائِدَةَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْجَانِبِ الشِّمَالِيِّ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنِ خَارِجَ الْحِجَابِ (أَيْ فِي الْقُدْسِ).

23 He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

٢٣ وَرَتَّبَ مُوسَى خُبْزَ التَّقْدِمَةِ عَلَى الْمَائِدَةِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ.

24 He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

٢٤ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الْمَنَارَةَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، فِي الْجَانِبِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنِ مُقَابِلَ الْمَائِدَةِ.

25 and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

٢٥ وَأَضَاءَ سُرُجَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ.

26 Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,

٢٦ وَوَضَعَ مَذْبَحَ الذَّهَبِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَمَامَ الْحِجَابِ.

27 and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

٢٧ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَيْهِ بَخُوراً عَطِراً، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

٢٨ وَوَضَعَ سِتَارَةً عَلَى مَدْخَلِ الْخَيْمَةِ.

29 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.

٢٩ وَوَضَعَ مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ عِنْدَ بَابِ مَسَكَنِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالتَّقْدِمَةَ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

30 He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;

٣٠ وَوَضَعَ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ بَيْنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَمَذْبَحِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ. وَمَلأَهُ بِالْمَاءِ لِلاغْتِسَالِ.

31 and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.

٣١ لِيَغْسِلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ بِمَائِهِ.

32 They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

٣٢ فَيَغْتَسِلُونَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلُوا إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَوِ اقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

33 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.

٣٣ ثُمَّ نَصَبَ مُوسَى جَوَانِبَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ، وَعَلَّقَ سِتَارَ مَدْخَلِهَا. وَهَكَذَا أَكْمَلَ مُوسَى الْعَمَلَ.

34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

٣٤ وَمَا لَبِثَتِ السَّحَابَةُ أَنْ غَطَّتْ خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَمَلأَ جَلالُ الرَّبِّ الْمَسْكَنَ،

35 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.

٣٥ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مُوسَى دُخُولَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، لأَنَّ السَّحَابَةَ حَلَّتْ عَلَيْهَا، وَمَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَ الْمَسْكَنَ.

36 Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.

٣٦ وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْفَارِهِمْ، إِلا إذَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنِ الْمَسْكَنِ.

37 If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.

٣٧ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرْتَفِعْ، يَمْكُثُونَ حَيْثُ هُمْ حَتَّى يَوْمِ ارْتِفَاعِهَا.

38 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.

٣٨ وَكَانَتِ السَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّي الْمَسْكَنَ نَهَاراً، وَتَتَوَهَّجُ مِنْهَا نَارٌ لَيْلاً، عَلَى مَرْأَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ رِحْلاتِهِمْ.
