Exodus 40
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,
“Tu agbadɔ la le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
3 and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over the Ark with the veil,
Tsɔ nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la de eme, eye nàtsi xɔmetsovɔ la ale be wòaɣla nubablaɖaka la ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la.
4 and have brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and have brought in the lampstand, and caused its lamps to go up.
Emegbe la, kɔ kplɔ̃ la da ɖe eme, nàkɔ kplɔ̃a ŋutinuwo da ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi, nàtsɔ akaɖiti la de eme, eye nàsi akaɖiawo.
5 And you have put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and have put the covering of the opening to the Dwelling Place,
“Kɔ sikavɔsamlekpui si dzi woado dzudzɔ ɖo la da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ. Tsi xɔmemɔnuvɔawo ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
6 and have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,
eye nàkɔ numevɔsamlekpui la da ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
7 and have put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there.
Kɔ tsileze la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, eye nàku tsi ɖe eme.
8 And you have set the court all around, and have placed the covering of the gate of the court,
Le esia megbe la, wɔ xɔxɔnu la ƒo xlã agbadɔ la godoo, eye nàtsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ la ɖe xɔxɔnu la ƒe mɔnu.
9 and have taken the anointing oil, and anointed the Dwelling Place, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it has been holy;
“Tsɔ ami sisi la, eye nàhlẽe ɖe agbadɔ la kple nu sia nu si le eme la ŋuti, ɖe nu siwo ŋu dɔ woawɔ kple agbadɔ la ƒe akpawo kple xɔmenuawo ŋuti be nàkɔ wo ŋuti, eye wo ŋuti nakɔ.
10 and you have anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar has been most holy;
Hlẽ ami sisi la ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo ŋuti, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu; ekema vɔsamlekpui la ŋuti akɔ nyuie.
11 and you have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
Si ami na tsileze la kple eƒe zɔ, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe.
12 And you have brought Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;
“Azɔ la, kplɔ Aron kple via ŋutsuwo va agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu eye nàle tsi na wo.
13 and you have clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he has acted as priest to Me.
Do awu kɔkɔewo na Aron eye nàsi ami nɛ, akɔ eŋu be wòasubɔm abe nunɔla ene.
14 And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them with coats,
Emegbe la, nàkplɔ via ŋutsuwo vɛ, nàdo woƒe awuwo na wo,
15 and anointed them as you have anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing has been to them for a continuous priesthood throughout their generations.”
eye nàsi ami na wo abe ale si nàsii na wo fofo ene, ale be woasubɔm abe nunɔlawo ene. Ami sisi sia atsi wo ŋu tegbetegbe, tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me: wo viwo katã kple wo viwo ƒe viwo azu nunɔlawo nam tegbetegbe.”
16 And Moses does according to all that YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
Ale Mose de asi nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖo nɛ be wòawɔ la wɔwɔ me.
17 And it comes to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, the Dwelling Place has been raised up;
Le ƒe evelia ƒe ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, wotu agbadɔ la.
18 and Moses raises up the Dwelling Place, and sets its sockets, and places its boards, and places its bars, and raises its pillars,
Mose kɔ zɔwo de sɔtiawo te, eye wòklã ʋuƒowo ɖe sɔtiawo ŋu.
19 and spreads the tent over the Dwelling Place, and puts the covering of the tent on it above, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Ekeke avɔ la ɖe atixɔ la ŋu, eye wòda tamenuwo ɖe edzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ pɛpɛpɛ la ene.
20 And he takes and puts the Testimony into the Ark, and sets the poles on the Ark, and puts the propitiatory covering on the Ark above;
Etsɔ kpe siwo dzi woŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖo la da ɖe nubablaɖaka la me, etsi aɖakatsɔtiawo ɖe eŋu, eye wòtsɔ sikanutunu, amenuveveteƒe la tu enu.
21 and brings the Ark into the Dwelling Place, and places the veil of the covering, and covers over the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Emegbe la, ekɔ nubablaɖaka la va agbadɔ la me, eye wòtsɔ xɔmetsovɔ la xe eŋkume abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ pɛpɛpɛ la ene.
22 And he puts the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the Dwelling Place northward, at the outside of the veil,
Azɔ la, ekɔ Kplɔ̃ la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me le anyiehe lɔƒo, le xɔmetsovɔ la godo,
23 and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
eye wòtsɔ ŋkumeɖobolo la da ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene.
24 And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,
Mose kɔ akaɖiti la da ɖe kplɔ̃ la kasa le agbadɔ la me le dziehe lɔƒo.
25 and causes the lamps to go up before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Esi akaɖiawo le Yehowa ŋkume le ɖoɖoawo nu,
26 And he sets the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting, before the veil,
eye wòkɔ sikavɔsamlekpui la da ɖe agbadɔ la me te ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋu.
27 and makes incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Etsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo do dzudzɔ ɖe edzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene.
28 And he sets the covering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place,
Etsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ la ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
29 and he has set the altar of the burnt-offering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and causes the burnt-offering to go up on it, and the present, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
ekɔ numevɔsamlekpui la da ɖe gota te ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ŋu, eye wòme numevɔsa kple nuɖuvɔsa le vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ pɛpɛpɛ la ene.
30 And he puts the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and puts water [in] there for washing,
Emegbe la, ekɔ tsileze la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome. Eku tsi ɖe eme wòyɔ ale be nunɔlawo ate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ le asikɔklɔ kple afɔkɔklɔ me.
31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
Mose kple Aron kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo klɔ woƒe asiwo kple afɔwo le afi sia.
32 in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and in their drawing near to the altar, they wash, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Ɣe sia ɣi si woato vɔsamlekpui la ŋu be yewoage ɖe agbadɔ la me la, wotɔna, klɔa asi kple afɔ, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
33 And he raises up the court all around the Dwelling Place, and around the altar, and places the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completes the work.
Azɔ la, Mose tɔ kpɔ ƒo xlã nɔƒe la kple vɔsamlekpui la, eye wòtsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ ɖe nɔƒe la ƒe mɔnu. Ale Mose wu eƒe dɔ la nu mlɔeba.
34 And the cloud covers the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place;
Tete lilikpo la tsyɔ Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la dzi eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ eme.
35 and Moses has not been able to go into the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud has dwelt on it, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place.
Mose mete ŋu ge ɖe eme o, elabena lilikpo la nɔ afi ma, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ agbadɔ la me fũu.
36 And in the going up of the cloud from off the Dwelling Place the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;
Ne lilikpo la ho, eye wòɖe zɔ la, Israelviwo yia mɔzɔzɔ la dzi, dzea eyome.
37 and if the cloud does not go up then they do not journey, until the day of its going up.
Ke ne lilikpo la tɔ la, woawo hã wotɔna va se ɖe esime lilikpo la gaɖe zɔ.
38 For the cloud of YHWH [is] on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
Yehowa ƒe lilikpo la tɔna ɖe agbadɔ la dzi le ŋkeke me. Ke le zã me la, dzo klẽna le lilikpo la me, ale be Israelviwo katã nate ŋu akpɔe. Nu sia yi edzi le woƒe mɔzɔzɔwo katã me.
