Exodus 40
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose:
2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
“Simika Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania, katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza.
3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and separate the ark with the vail.
Weka Sanduku la Ushuhuda ndani yake na ulifunike kwa pazia. Ingiza meza na kupanga vitu vyake juu yake.
4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and arrange the order of the showbread upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
Kisha ingiza kinara cha taa na uweke taa zake juu yake.
5 And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and thou shalt put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.
Weka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya kufukizia uvumba mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda kisha uweke pazia kwenye lango la Maskani ya Mungu.
6 And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
“Weka madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa mbele ya lango la Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania;
7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
weka sinia kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, na uweke maji ndani yake.
8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and put up the hanging at the gate of the court.
Fanyiza ua kuzunguka maskani na uweke pazia penye ingilio la ua.
9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein; and thou shalt hallow it, with all its vessels, 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 thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels; and thou shalt sanctify 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.
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver with its foot, and sanctify it.
Paka sinia mafuta pamoja na kishikilio chake na uviweke wakfu.
12 And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
“Mlete Aroni na wanawe kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania na uwaoshe kwa maji.
13 And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.
Kisha mvike Aroni yale mavazi matakatifu, umtie mafuta na kumweka wakfu ili apate kunitumikia katikati ya ukuhani.
14 And his sons shalt thou bring near, and clothe them with coats:
Walete wanawe na uwavike makoti.
15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou hast anointed their father, that they may be priests unto me; and this shall be, that their anointing shall be unto them for an everlasting 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 so; all, just as the Lord had 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, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
Kwa hiyo Maskani ya Mungu ilisimikwa katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza, katika mwaka wa pili.
18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
Mose alipoweka wakfu Maskani ya Mungu, aliweka vitako mahali pake, akasimamisha mihimili, akatia mataruma na kusimamisha nguzo.
19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it above; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Kisha akalitandaza hema juu ya Maskani ya Mungu na kuifunika hema, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and placed the staves on the ark; and he put the mercy-seat upon the ark above.
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 set up the vail of the separation, and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony; as the Lord had 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 the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.
Mose akaweka meza ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, upande wa kaskazini ya Maskani ya Mungu nje ya pazia
23 And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
na kupanga mikate juu yake mbele za Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
24 And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.
Akaweka kinara cha taa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania mkabala na meza upande wa kusini mwa Maskani ya Mungu
25 And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
na kuziweka taa mbele za Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
26 And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail.
Mose akaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ndani ya Hema la Kukutania mbele ya pazia
27 And he burnt thereon the incense of spices; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
na kufukiza uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
28 And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.
Kisha akaweka pazia kwenye ingilio la Maskani ya Mungu.
29 And the altar of burnt-offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and he offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meat-offering; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
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.
30 And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.
Akaweka sinia kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, akaweka maji ndani yake kwa ajili ya kunawia,
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.
Naye Mose, Aroni na wanawe wakayatumia kwa kunawia mikono na miguu yao.
32 When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed themselves; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Wakanawa kila walipoingia katika Hema la Kukutania au walipoikaribia madhabahu kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the hanging of the gate of the court; and so did Moses finish the work.
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 tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Ndipo wingu likafunika Hema la Kukutania, na utukufu wa Bwana ukaijaza Maskani ya Mungu.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation; because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
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 was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.
Katika safari yote ya Waisraeli, kila wakati wingu lilipoinuka kutoka juu ya Maskani ya Mungu, wangeondoka;
37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up.
lakini kama wingu halikuinuka, hawakuondoka, mpaka siku lilipoinuka.
38 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout 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.
