< Exodus 40 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 “On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
“Guzobe ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ.
3 Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.
Dọnye igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke Ihe Ama ahụ nʼime ya. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nke ga-ezo ya.
4 Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.
Webata tebul ahụ, na ngwongwo dị nʼelu ya, webatakwa ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ. Mụnyekwa oriọna ndị ahụ ọkụ.
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.
Doo ebe ịchụ aja ọlaedo ahụ nke e mere maka ịchụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nke kwesiri ịdị nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ.
6 Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
“Doo ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ịbata nʼụlọ nzute bụ ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
7 And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
Dọnye efere ukwu ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Gbajukwaa ya mmiri.
8 Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.
Guzobe ogige gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ogige ahụ.
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.
“Were mmanụ nsọ ahụ tee ụlọ nzute ahụ, ya na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, si otu a doo ha nsọ ma ngwongwo ịchọ mma ya niile. Ọ ga-abụ ebe dị nsọ.
10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.
Mgbe ahụ, tee ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ mmanụ ya na ihe ya niile e ji eje ozi. Doo ebe ịchụ aja ahụ nsọ, ọ ga-abụkwa ebe dịkarịsịrị nsọ.
11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
Tekwaa efere ukwu ịsa mmiri ahụ na ụkwụ ya mmanụ. Doo ha nsọ.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
“Kpọbata Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute. Jiri mmiri saa ha ahụ nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Yikwasị Erọn uwe nsọ ya. Tekwaa ya mmanụ, ido ya nsọ maka i jere m ozi dịka onye nchụaja.
14 Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.
Mekwaa ka ụmụ ya ndị ikom bịaruo nso, yikwasịkwa ha uwe ime ahụ.
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.”
Tee ha mmanụ dịka i si tee nna ha, ime ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere m ozi dịka ndị nchụaja. Otite mmanụ ha ga-abụ nye ọrụ nchụaja ha nke ga-adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.”
16 Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
Mosis mezuru ihe niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu ime.
17 So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
O ruo, nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ, nʼafọ nke abụọ, e mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ.
18 When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.
Mosis mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ site nʼitinye mbudo ibo ya niile, ụkwụ ya na mkpọrọ osisi ya niile nʼọnọdụ ha.
19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.
Emesịa, ọ gbasapụrụ ihe mkpuchi nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ, tụkwasịkwa okpukpu ihe mkpuchi nke abụọ nʼelu ya dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu.
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.
O tinyere Ihe Ama nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Emesịa, ọ tụkwasịkwara mkpara e ji ebu igbe ahụ nʼakụkụ igbe ahụ, were okwuchi igbe ahụ, nke bụ Oche Ebere ahụ, kpuchie igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
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.
Emesịa, o bubatara igbe ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, kwụnyekwa akwa mgbochi nke mgbochi, kewapụ igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
22 Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.
Mosis dọnyere tebul ahụ nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, na mpụta nke akwa mgbochi ahụ.
23 He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
Ọ dọkwasịrị achịcha ahụ a na-edo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼelu tebul ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
24 He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle
Ọ dọkwasịrị ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nʼakụkụ tebul ahụ, nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọ nzute ahụ.
25 and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
Ọ mụnyere oriọna ndị ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye nʼiwu.
26 Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
Mosis debere ebe ịchụ aja ọlaedo ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nso nso ebe akwa mgbochi ahụ dị,
27 and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.
surekwaa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ya, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
Ọ kwụbara akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
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.
Debekwa ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ nso ọnụ ụzọ ịba ụlọ nzute ahụ. O surekwara aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ya, na aja onyinye mkpụrụ ọka dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya nʼiwu.
30 He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;
Ọ dọbara efere ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja, wụjuo ya mmiri, maka iji sachaa ihe.
31 and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.
Mosis, na Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na-eji ya akwọcha aka ha, sakwaa ụkwụ ha.
32 They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Mgbe ọbụla ha na-abanye nʼụlọ nzute na mgbe ha na-abịa nso ebe ịchụ aja, ha na-asacha, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya Mosis nʼiwu.
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.
Mosis guzobere ogige ahụ gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ na ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. O konyekwara akwa mgbochi nʼụzọ mbata nke ogige ụlọ nzute ahụ. Otu a, Mosis rụzuru ọrụ niile ahụ.
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Mgbe ahụ, igwe ojii kpuchiri ụlọ nzute ahụ, ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtakwara nʼime ya.
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.
Mosis nʼonwe ya enweghị ike ịbanye nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼihi igwe ojii kpuchiri elu ya na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼụlọ nzute ahụ.
36 Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.
Nʼime njegharị ha niile, mgbe ọbụla igwe ojii ahụ si nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ bilie, mgbe ahụ ka ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem.
37 If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
Ma ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ ebilighị, ụmụ Izrel adịghị ebulikwa njem tutuu ruo mgbe o biliri.
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.
Igwe ojii Onyenwe anyị ahụ na-anọgide nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼehihie ma nʼabalị, ọkụ na-esi nʼime ya na-enwupụta. Ndị Izrel niile na-ahụkwa ya anya ụbọchị niile nke ha jegharịrị nʼọzara.
