Exodus 40
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 On the first day of the month, in the first month, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;
“Tu agbadɔ la le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
3 and thou shalt put therein, the ark of the testimony, —and shalt screen 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 thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order what is to be arranged thereupon, —and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and mount the lamps thereof;
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 thou shalt place the altar of gold for incense, before the ark of the testimony, —and put up the screen for the opening of the habitation;
“Kɔ sikavɔsamlekpui si dzi woado dzudzɔ ɖo la da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ. Tsi xɔmemɔnuvɔawo ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
6 and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;
eye nàkɔ numevɔsamlekpui la da ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
7 and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
Kɔ tsileze la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, eye nàku tsi ɖe eme.
8 And thou shalt put up the court round about, and hang up the screen 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 thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, —and shalt hallow it. and all the furniture thereof so shall it be 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 thou shalt anoint the altar of ascending sacrifice, and all its utensils, —and hallow the altar, so shall the altar be most holy:
Hlẽ ami sisi la ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo ŋuti, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu; ekema vɔsamlekpui la ŋuti akɔ nyuie.
11 and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.
Si ami na tsileze la kple eƒe zɔ, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe.
12 And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, —and shalt bathe them in the water;
“Azɔ la, kplɔ Aron kple via ŋutsuwo va agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu eye nàle tsi na wo.
13 and thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, —and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.
Do awu kɔkɔewo na Aron eye nàsi ami nɛ, akɔ eŋu be wòasubɔm abe nunɔla ene.
14 His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;
Emegbe la, nàkplɔ via ŋutsuwo vɛ, nàdo woƒe awuwo na wo,
15 and shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister as priests unto me, —so shall their anointing remain to them for an age-abiding priesthood, to 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 did, —according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so did he.
Ale Mose de asi nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖo nɛ be wòawɔ la wɔwɔ me.
17 Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.
Le ƒe evelia ƒe ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, wotu agbadɔ la.
18 Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, —and reared its pillars.
Mose kɔ zɔwo de sɔtiawo te, eye wòklã ʋuƒowo ɖe sɔtiawo ŋu.
19 Then spread he abroad the tent upon the habitation, and put the covering of the tent upon it, above, —As Yahweh 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 took and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, —and placed the propitiatory upon 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 brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, —As Yahweh 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 placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;
Azɔ la, ekɔ Kplɔ̃ la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me le anyiehe lɔƒo, le xɔmetsovɔ la godo,
23 and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
eye wòtsɔ ŋkumeɖobolo la da ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene.
24 And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;
Mose kɔ akaɖiti la da ɖe kplɔ̃ la kasa le agbadɔ la me le dziehe lɔƒo.
25 and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
Esi akaɖiawo le Yehowa ŋkume le ɖoɖoawo nu,
26 And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;
eye wòkɔ sikavɔsamlekpui la da ɖe agbadɔ la me te ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋu.
27 and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
Etsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo do dzudzɔ ɖe edzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene.
28 And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
Etsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ la ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
29 and, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, —and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, —As Yahweh 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 put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, —and put therein water for bathing;
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 thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;
Mose kple Aron kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo klɔ woƒe asiwo kple afɔwo le afi sia.
32 when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, —As Yahweh 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 reared the court round about to the habitation and to the altar, and put up the screen of the gate of the court, —and Moses finished 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 Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;
Tete lilikpo la tsyɔ Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la dzi eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ eme.
35 and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud had made its habitation thereupon, —and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.
Mose mete ŋu ge ɖe eme o, elabena lilikpo la nɔ afi ma, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ agbadɔ la me fũu.
36 And whensoever the cloud ascended from off the habitation, then did the sons of Israel set forward, in all their journeyings;
Ne lilikpo la ho, eye wòɖe zɔ la, Israelviwo yia mɔzɔzɔ la dzi, dzea eyome.
37 but if the cloud did not ascend, then did they not set forward—until the day when it did ascend.
Ke ne lilikpo la tɔ la, woawo hã wotɔna va se ɖe esime lilikpo la gaɖe zɔ.
38 For, the cloud of Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, —in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
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.
