Exodus 40
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, you shall set up the tabernacle of witness,
“Simika Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania, katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza.
3 and you shall place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shall cover the ark with the veil,
Weka Sanduku la Ushuhuda ndani yake na ulifunike kwa pazia. Ingiza meza na kupanga vitu vyake juu yake.
4 and you shall bring in the table and shall set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and you shall bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it.
Kisha ingiza kinara cha taa na uweke taa zake juu yake.
5 And you shall place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and you shall put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness.
Weka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya kufukizia uvumba mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda kisha uweke pazia kwenye lango la Maskani ya Mungu.
6 And you shall put the altar of burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall set up the tabernacle round about, and you shall hallow all that belongs to it round about.
“Weka madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa mbele ya lango la Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania;
weka sinia kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, na uweke maji ndani yake.
Fanyiza ua kuzunguka maskani na uweke pazia penye ingilio la ua.
9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and shall anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shall sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy.
“Chukua mafuta ya upako, ipake Maskani ya Mungu pamoja na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake; iweke wakfu pamoja na vitu vyote vilivyomo ndani mwake, nayo itakuwa takatifu.
10 And you shall anoint the altar of burnt offerings, and all its furniture; and you shall hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
Kisha yapake mafuta hayo madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote; weka wakfu madhabahu nayo yatakuwa takatifu sana.
Paka sinia mafuta pamoja na kishikilio chake na uviweke wakfu.
12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall wash them with water.
“Mlete Aroni na wanawe kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania na uwaoshe kwa maji.
13 And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.
Kisha mvike Aroni yale mavazi matakatifu, umtie mafuta na kumweka wakfu ili apate kunitumikia katikati ya ukuhani.
14 And you shall bring up his sons, and shall put garments on them.
Walete wanawe na uwavike makoti.
15 And you shall anoint them as you did anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.
Kisha watie mafuta kama ulivyomtia baba yao, ili nao pia wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani. Kutiwa mafuta kwao kutakuwa kwa ajili ya ukuhani utakaoendelea kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo.”
16 And Moses did all things whatever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
Mose akafanya kila kitu sawa kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza.
17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up.
Kwa hiyo Maskani ya Mungu ilisimikwa katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza, katika mwaka wa pili.
18 And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
Mose alipoweka wakfu Maskani ya Mungu, aliweka vitako mahali pake, akasimamisha mihimili, akatia mataruma na kusimamisha nguzo.
19 And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
Kisha akalitandaza hema juu ya Maskani ya Mungu na kuifunika hema, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
20 And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
Akachukua ule Ushuhuda na kuuweka ndani ya Sanduku la Agano, akaweka ile mipiko ya kubebea hilo Sanduku na kuweka kiti cha rehema juu yake.
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on [it] the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Kisha Mose akalileta Sanduku ndani ya Maskani ya Mungu, akatundika pazia ili kulifunika Sanduku la Ushuhuda, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
22 And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
Mose akaweka meza ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, upande wa kaskazini ya Maskani ya Mungu nje ya pazia
23 And he put on it the show bread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
na kupanga mikate juu yake mbele za Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
24 And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle towards the south.
Akaweka kinara cha taa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania mkabala na meza upande wa kusini mwa Maskani ya Mungu
25 And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
na kuziweka taa mbele za Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
Mose akaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ndani ya Hema la Kukutania mbele ya pazia
27 and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
na kufukiza uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
Kisha akaweka pazia kwenye ingilio la Maskani ya Mungu.
29 And he put the altar of the burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
Mose akaweka madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa karibu na ingilio la Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania, na kutoa juu yake sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za nafaka kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
Akaweka sinia kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, akaweka maji ndani yake kwa ajili ya kunawia,
31 And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
Naye Mose, Aroni na wanawe wakayatumia kwa kunawia mikono na miguu yao.
Wakanawa kila walipoingia katika Hema la Kukutania au walipoikaribia madhabahu kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
Kisha Mose akafanya ua kuizunguka Maskani ya Mungu na madhabahu, pia akaweka pazia kwenye ingilio la huo ua. Hivyo Mose akaikamilisha kazi.
34 And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Ndipo wingu likafunika Hema la Kukutania, na utukufu wa Bwana ukaijaza Maskani ya Mungu.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Mose hakuweza kuingia ndani ya Hema la Kukutania kwa sababu wingu lilikuwa limetua juu ya Hema, nao utukufu wa Bwana ukaijaza Maskani ya Mungu.
36 And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
Katika safari yote ya Waisraeli, kila wakati wingu lilipoinuka kutoka juu ya Maskani ya Mungu, wangeondoka;
37 And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
lakini kama wingu halikuinuka, hawakuondoka, mpaka siku lilipoinuka.
38 For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
Kwa hiyo wingu la Bwana lilikuwa juu ya maskani mchana, na moto ulikuwa katika hilo wingu wakati wa usiku, machoni pa nyumba yote ya Israeli siku zote za safari zao.
