Exodus 40
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
2 “On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,
“Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza ya mwaka lazima wewe uandae hema la kukutania.
3 and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over the Ark with the veil,
Utaweka sanduku la ushuhuda ndani yake, na utaziba sanduku kwa pazia.
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.
Utaleta ndani meza na kuandaa kwa mpangilio vitu vyake. Kisha utaleta kinara cha taa na kuandaa taa.
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,
Nawe utaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba mbele ya sanduku la ushuhuda, na utaweka pazia katika mwingilio wa hema la kukutania.
6 and have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,
Utaweka madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele ya mwingilio wa hema ya kukutania.
7 and have put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there.
Utaweka ile saani kubwa katikati ya hema la kukutania na madhabahu na utaweka maji ndani yake.
8 And you have set the court all around, and have placed the covering of the gate of the court,
Uandae nyuani inayoizunguka, na utundike pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani.
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;
Lazima uchukuwe mafuta ya upako na upake hema la kukutania na kila kitu kilichopo ndani yake. Lazima uitenge na samani zake kwangu; kisha itakuwa takatifu.
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;
Lazima upake mafuta madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake. Lazima utenge madhabhu kwa ajili yangu na itakuwa takatifu kwangu.
11 and you have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
Upake mafuta beseni la shaba na sakafu yake na uitenge kwa ajili yangu.
12 And you have brought Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;
Umlete Aruni na wanae kwa mwingilio wa hema la kukutania na uwaoshe wote kwa maji.
13 and you have clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he has acted as priest to Me.
Utamfunika Aruni kwa mavazi yaliyo tengwa kwa ajili yangu, mpake mafuta na umtenge ili anitumikie kama kuhani.
14 And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them with coats,
Utawaleta wana wake na kuwafunika kwa nguo nzito.
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.”
Utawapaka mafuta kama ulivyo mpaka baba yao ili wanitumikie kama makuhani. Upako wao utawafanya makuhani wa kudumu vizazi vyote vya watu wao.”
16 And Moses does according to all that YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
Hivi ndivyo Musa alivyo sema; alifuata yote Yahweh aliyo muamuru. Alifanya vitu vyote hivi.
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;
Hivyo hema la kukutania liliandaliwa siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa mwaka wa pili.
18 and Moses raises up the Dwelling Place, and sets its sockets, and places its boards, and places its bars, and raises its pillars,
Musa alianda hema la kukutania, akaeka sakafu zake sehemu yake, akaanda fremu zake, akashikisha chuma zake, na akaanda minara na nguzo zake.
19 and spreads the tent over the Dwelling Place, and puts the covering of the tent on it above, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Alitandaza mfuniko juu ya hema la kukutania na kuweka hema juu yake, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
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;
Alichukuwa amri za agano na kuweka kwenye sanduku. Pia aliweka nguzo kwenye sanduku na kuweka mfuniko wa kiti cha rehema.
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.
Aliichukuwa sanduku na kuweka ndani ya hema la kukutania. Aliandaa pazia ili lizibe sanduku la ushuhuda, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
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,
Alieka meza kwenye hema la kukutania, kwa upande wa kaskazini mwa hema la kukutania, nje ya pazia.
23 and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Alieka mkate kwa mpangilio katika meza ya Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo amuru.
24 And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,
Alieka kinara cha taa kwenye hema la kukutania, upande wa pili wa meza, kusini mwa hema la kukutani.
25 and causes the lamps to go up before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Aliwasha taa mbele za Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
26 And he sets the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting, before the veil,
Aliweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba ndani ya hema la kukutania mbele ya pazia.
27 and makes incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Alichoma uvumba wa manukato hapo, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
28 And he sets the covering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place,
Alitundika pazia katika hema ya kukutania.
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.
Aliweka madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketeza katika hema ya kukutania. Aliitolea sadaka ya kuteketeza na sadaka ya unga, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
30 And he puts the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and puts water [in] there for washing,
Aliweka beseni katikati ya hema ya kukutunia na madhabahu, na maji ya kuoshea.
31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
Musa, Aruni, na wanae waliosha mikono yao na miguu kwenye beseni
32 in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and in their drawing near to the altar, they wash, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
muda wowote walipoenda kwenye hema ya kukutania na muda wowote walipoenda kwenye madhabahu. Walijisafisha, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa.
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.
Musa alianda nyuani nyuma ya hema ya kukutania na madhabahu. Alianda pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani. Katika hili, Musa alimaliza kazi.
34 And the cloud covers the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place;
Kisha wingu likafunika hema ya kukutania, na utukufu wa Yahweh ukafunika hema ya kukutania.
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.
Musa hakuweza kuingia hema ya kukutania kwasababu wingu lilikuwa juu yake, na kwasababu utukufu wa Yahweh ulijaza hema ya kukutania.
36 And in the going up of the cloud from off the Dwelling Place the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;
Muda wowote wingu lilipo chukuliwa juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, watu wa Israeli waliendelea na safari yao.
37 and if the cloud does not go up then they do not journey, until the day of its going up.
Lakini kama wingu haliku nyanyuka juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, kisha basi watu hawaku safiri. Walibaki hadi siku lilipo nyanyuliwa juu.
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.
Kwa kuwa wingu la Yahweh lilikuwa juu ya hema ya kukutania mchana, na moto wake ulikuwa juu yake usiku, wazi kwa watu wote wa Israeli kipindi chote cha safari yao.
