< Exodus 40 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
2 The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,
“Ũgaaka hema ĩyo nyamũre, nĩo Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mbere.
3 And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:
Nĩũkaiga ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira thĩinĩ wayo, na ũhakanie ithandũkũ rĩu na gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio.
4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps,
Ningĩ nĩũgatoonyia metha na ũmĩigĩrĩre indo ciayo, na ũcibange wega. Ningĩ ũtoonyie mũtĩ wa tawa, na ũũigĩrĩre matawa maguo.
5 And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,
Ningĩ ũige kĩgongona gĩa thahabu gĩa gũcinĩrwo ũbumba mbere ya Ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa Ũira, na wĩkĩre gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema ĩyo nyamũre.
6 And before it the altar of holocaust:
“Iga kĩgongona kĩa maruta ma njino mbere ya itoonyero rĩa hema ĩyo nyamũre, na nĩyo Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo;
7 The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.
ũige kĩraĩ gĩa gwĩthambĩrwo gatagatĩ ka Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo na kĩgongona, na ũgĩĩkĩre maaĩ.
8 And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.
Aka nja ĩmĩthiũrũrũkĩrie, na wĩkĩre gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nja ĩyo.
9 And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
“Oya maguta ma gũitanĩrĩrio, na ũitĩrĩrie hema ĩyo nyamũre na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo; mĩamũre na indo ciayo ciothe, na nĩĩgatuĩka theru.
10 The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
Ningĩ ũitĩrĩrie maguta kĩgongona kĩa maruta ma njino na indo ciakĩo ciothe; wamũre kĩgongona kĩu, nakĩo nĩgĩgatuĩka gĩtheru mũno.
11 The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.
Itĩrĩria kĩraĩ gĩa gwĩthambĩrwo na kĩgũrũ gĩakĩo maguta, ũciamũre.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
“Rehe Harũni na ariũ ake itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na ũmathambie na maaĩ.
Ningĩ ũhumbe Harũni nguo iria theru, ũmũitĩrĩrie maguta, na ũmwamũre nĩguo andungatĩre arĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
Rehe ariũ ake, ũmahumbe kanjũ.
15 Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.
Maitĩrĩrie maguta o ta ũrĩa ũitĩrĩirie ithe wao, nĩguo mandungatĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai. Gũitĩrĩrio maguta kwao nĩkũmatoonyia ũtungata-inĩ wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa ũgũtũũra njiarwa-inĩ ciothe iria igooka.”
16 And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
Nake Musa agĩĩka maũndũ mothe o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
17 So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio hema ĩyo nyamũre ĩgĩakwo mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mbere, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ.
18 And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
Rĩrĩa Musa aakire hema ĩyo nyamũre, nĩaigire itina handũ ha cio, na akĩrũgamia buremu, agĩtoonyia mĩgamba na akĩrũgamia itugĩ.
19 And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
Ningĩ agĩtambũrũkia hema igũrũ rĩa hema ĩyo nyamũre na akĩigĩrĩra kĩhumbĩri igũrũ rĩa hema o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
20 And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
Agĩcooka akĩoya ihengere cia Ũira, na agĩciiga thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro. Akĩnyiitithania mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩraaya na ithandũkũ, na akĩiga gĩtĩ gĩa tha igũrũ rĩa ithandũkũ rĩu.
21 And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
Ningĩ akĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro thĩinĩ wa hema ĩyo nyamũre, na agĩĩkĩra gĩtambaya gĩa kũhakania na akĩhakania ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
22 And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
Musa akĩiga metha thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo mwena wa gathigathini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre, nja ya gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio
23 Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
na akĩigĩrĩra mĩgate igũrũ rĩayo o hau mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
24 He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony over against the table on the south side,
Akĩiga mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo ũngʼetheire metha mwena wa gũthini wa hema ĩyo nyamũre,
25 Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
na agĩakia matawa macio mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
26 He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony over against the veil,
Musa agĩtoonyia kĩgongona gĩa thahabu thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo hau mbere ya gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio,
27 And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
na agĩcinĩra ũbumba ũrĩa mũnungi wega ho o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
28 And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Ningĩ agĩcuuria gĩtambaya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hema ĩyo nyamũre.
29 And the altar of holocaust of the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.
Ningĩ akĩiga kĩgongona kĩa maruta ma njino hakuhĩ na itoonyero rĩa hema ĩyo nyamũre, nĩyo Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na akĩrutĩra magongona ma njino igũrũ rĩakĩo o na magongona ma ngano, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
30 And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
Nĩaigire kĩraĩ gĩa gwĩthambĩrwo gatagatĩ ka Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo na kĩgongona na agĩgĩĩkĩra maaĩ ma gwĩthamba,
31 And Moses and Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet,
nake Musa na Harũni na ariũ ake magĩtũmĩra maaĩ macio gwĩthamba moko na magũrũ.
32 When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Nĩmethambaga hĩndĩ ciothe magĩtoonya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo kana magĩkuhĩrĩria kĩgongona o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
33 He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,
Ningĩ Musa agĩaka nja gũthiũrũrũka hema ĩyo nyamũre na kĩgongona na agĩĩkĩra gĩtambaya gĩa gũcuurio itoonyero rĩa nja ĩyo. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩrĩkia wĩra ũcio.
34 The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo itu rĩkĩhumbĩra Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩiyũra hema ĩyo nyamũre.
35 Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.
Musa ndangĩahotire gũtoonya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo tondũ itu rĩaikarĩte igũrũ rĩayo, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkaiyũra hema ĩyo nyamũre.
36 If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
Ngʼendo-inĩ ciothe cia andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe itu rĩoyagwo na igũrũ kuuma hema ĩyo nyamũre, nĩguo moimagaraga;
37 If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
no itu rĩĩaga kuoywo na igũrũ, nao makaaga kuumagara, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa rĩkoywo na igũrũ.
38 For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio itu rĩa Jehova rĩaikaraga igũrũ wa hema ĩyo nyamũre mũthenya, naguo mwaki wakoragwo itu-inĩ rĩu ũtukũ, rĩgakĩonagwo nĩ nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli mahinda mothe ngʼendo-inĩ ciao ciothe.
