Exodus 40
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
2 “On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
“Pada hari pertama bulan pertama, dirikanlah kemah-Ku. Kemah itu melambangkan kehadiran-Ku di antara umat-Ku.
3 Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.
Tempatkanlah peti perjanjian di dalamnya, di ruang mahakudus. Lalu pasanglah tirai pemisah antara ruang mahakudus dengan ruang kudus.
4 Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.
Taruhlah meja roti sajian di dalam kemah itu dan aturlah semua perlengkapannya. Bawalah juga tiang pelita bercabang dan nyalakanlah sumbu-sumbu pelitanya.
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.
“Letakkan mezbah emas untuk membakar dupa di depan peti perjanjian, dan pasanglah tirai di pintu masuk kemah-Ku.
6 Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
Tempatkanlah mezbah kurban di bagian halaman yang di dekat pintu kemah-Ku.
7 And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
Taruhlah bejana pembasuhan di antara kemah-Ku dan mezbah itu, lalu isilah dengan air.
8 Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.
Dirikanlah pagar di sekeliling halaman kemah dan pasanglah tirai di pintu gerbang halaman.
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.
“Kemudian ambillah minyak pengurapan yang sudah dikuduskan bagi-Ku, dan urapilah kemah-Ku beserta semua perlengkapan di dalamnya, supaya semuanya itu dikuduskan demi pelayanan bagi-Ku.
10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.
Urapilah juga mezbah kurban dan semua perlengkapannya, supaya semua itu— terkhusus mezbahnya— dikuduskan demi pelayanan bagi-Ku.
11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
Urapilah juga bejana pembasuhan dan tumpuannya agar menjadi kudus bagi-Ku.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
“Kemudian ajaklah Harun dan anak-anaknya mendekat ke pintu masuk kemah-Ku dan basuhlah mereka dengan air.
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.
Sesudah itu, kenakanlah pada Harun pakaian yang sudah dibuat khusus bagi dia untuk melayani di hadapan-Ku. Urapilah Harun agar dia dikhususkan untuk melayani-Ku sebagai imam.
14 Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.
Lalu ajaklah anak-anak Harun maju dan kenakanlah pada mereka baju panjang yang sudah disiapkan.
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.”
Urapilah mereka seperti kamu mengurapi ayah mereka, agar mereka juga dapat melayani-Ku sebagai imam. Dengan pengurapan itu, mereka dan keturunan mereka dikhususkan untuk senantiasa melayani Aku sebagai imam.”
16 Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
Musa melaksanakan semuanya itu sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
17 So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
Maka kemah TUHAN didirikan pada hari pertama bulan pertama dalam tahun kedua sesudah mereka meninggalkan Mesir.
18 When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.
Dibantu oleh orang-orang suku Lewi, Musa mendirikan kemah itu dengan meletakan alas-alasnya, memasang papan-papan rangka dan kayu-kayu lintangnya, kemudian mendirikan tiang-tiangnya.
19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.
Lalu mereka membentangkan semua lapisan atap di atas rangka-rangka itu, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
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.
Musa mengambil kedua lempengan batu yang bertuliskan sepuluh perintah Allah dan memasukkannya ke dalam peti perjanjian. Selanjutnya dia memasang tongkat pengusung pada peti itu dan meletakkan penutup peti, yaitu Takhta Pendamaian, di atasnya.
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.
Lalu dia membawa peti itu ke dalam ruang mahakudus di kemah TUHAN dan memasang tirai pemisah antara ruang kudus dengan ruang mahakudus agar peti itu tidak terlihat dari luar, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
22 Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.
Kemudian Musa menempatkan meja roti sajian di dalam kemah TUHAN, pada sisi utara di depan tirai pemisah,
23 He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
dan menyusun roti sajian di atas meja itu, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
24 He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle
Musa menempatkan tiang pelita di dalam kemah TUHAN di sisi selatan, berhadapan dengan meja itu.
25 and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
Dia juga menyalakan pelita-pelita di hadapan TUHAN, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
26 Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
Lalu Musa meletakkan mezbah dupa di depan tirai di dalam kemah itu
27 and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.
dan membakar dupa di sana, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
Sesudah itu, Musa dibantu beberapa orang dari suku Lewi memasang tirai pada pintu masuk kemah TUHAN.
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.
Mereka juga meletakkan mezbah kurban di depan pintu masuk kemah itu. Lalu Musa mempersembahkan kurban yang dibakar habis dan persembahan gandum-ganduman, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
30 He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;
Musa menyuruh beberapa orang meletakkan bejana pembasuhan di antara kemah dan mezbah, lalu mengisinya dengan air.
31 and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.
Air itu disiapkan supaya Musa, Harun, dan anak-anak Harun dapat membasuh tangan dan kaki mereka di sana.
32 They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Mereka wajib membasuh tangan dan kaki setiap hendak memasuki kemah itu atau mendekat ke mezbah, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
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.
Terakhir, Musa dan orang-orang Lewi mendirikan pagar halaman di sekeliling kemah itu serta mezbah, dan memasang tirai pada pintu gerbang halaman. Dengan demikian, selesailah seluruh pekerjaan mendirikan kemah TUHAN.
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Kemudian awan kemuliaan TUHAN menutup dan memenuhi kemah TUHAN. Musa tidak bisa masuk selama kemuliaan TUHAN masih memenuhi kemah itu.
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.
36 Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.
Sepanjang perjalanan umat Israel, setiap kali awan itu naik dari atas kemah TUHAN, umat Israel berangkat melanjutkan perjalanan mereka.
37 If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
Selama awan itu tidak naik dari kemah, mereka tetap tinggal di tempat perkemahan.
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.
Awan TUHAN berdiam di atas kemah itu pada siang hari dan menjadi berapi pada malam hari, sehingga dapat terlihat setiap saat oleh seluruh umat Israel sepanjang perjalanan mereka.
