Exodus 40
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
2 On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
“Pada hari pertama bulan pertama, dirikanlah kemah-Ku. Kemah itu melambangkan kehadiran-Ku di antara umat-Ku.
3 And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
Tempatkanlah peti perjanjian di dalamnya, di ruang mahakudus. Lalu pasanglah tirai pemisah antara ruang mahakudus dengan ruang kudus.
4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light 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 And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
“Letakkan mezbah emas untuk membakar dupa di depan peti perjanjian, dan pasanglah tirai di pintu masuk kemah-Ku.
6 And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
Tempatkanlah mezbah kurban di bagian halaman yang di dekat pintu kemah-Ku.
7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
Taruhlah bejana pembasuhan di antara kemah-Ku dan mezbah itu, lalu isilah dengan air.
8 And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
Dirikanlah pagar di sekeliling halaman kemah dan pasanglah tirai di pintu gerbang halaman.
9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; 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 And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
Urapilah juga mezbah kurban dan semua perlengkapannya, supaya semua itu— terkhusus mezbahnya— dikuduskan demi pelayanan bagi-Ku.
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
Urapilah juga bejana pembasuhan dan tumpuannya agar menjadi kudus bagi-Ku.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.
“Kemudian ajaklah Harun dan anak-anaknya mendekat ke pintu masuk kemah-Ku dan basuhlah mereka dengan air.
13 And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as 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 And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
Lalu ajaklah anak-anak Harun maju dan kenakanlah pada mereka baju panjang yang sudah disiapkan.
15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting 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 And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
Musa melaksanakan semuanya itu sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
Maka kemah TUHAN didirikan pada hari pertama bulan pertama dalam tahun kedua sesudah mereka meninggalkan Mesir.
18 And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
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 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Lalu mereka membentangkan semua lapisan atap di atas rangka-rangka itu, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on 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 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
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 And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
Kemudian Musa menempatkan meja roti sajian di dalam kemah TUHAN, pada sisi utara di depan tirai pemisah,
23 and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
dan menyusun roti sajian di atas meja itu, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Musa menempatkan tiang pelita di dalam kemah TUHAN di sisi selatan, berhadapan dengan meja itu.
25 And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Dia juga menyalakan pelita-pelita di hadapan TUHAN, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
Lalu Musa meletakkan mezbah dupa di depan tirai di dalam kemah itu
27 And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
dan membakar dupa di sana, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
28 And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
Sesudah itu, Musa dibantu beberapa orang dari suku Lewi memasang tirai pada pintu masuk kemah TUHAN.
29 And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
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 And he set the laver 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 Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
Air itu disiapkan supaya Musa, Harun, dan anak-anak Harun dapat membasuh tangan dan kaki mereka di sana.
32 when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah 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 he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And 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 And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
Kemudian awan kemuliaan TUHAN menutup dan memenuhi kemah TUHAN. Musa tidak bisa masuk selama kemuliaan TUHAN masih memenuhi kemah itu.
35 And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
Sepanjang perjalanan umat Israel, setiap kali awan itu naik dari atas kemah TUHAN, umat Israel berangkat melanjutkan perjalanan mereka.
37 And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
Selama awan itu tidak naik dari kemah, mereka tetap tinggal di tempat perkemahan.
38 For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout 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.
