Exodus 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
2 “On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
“Imika chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, tsiku loyamba la mwezi.
3 Put inside it the sacred chest [that contains the stone slabs on which are engraved] the Ten Commandments, and hang the curtain in front of it.
Uyikemo bokosi la umboni ndipo uphimbe bokosilo ndi katani.
4 Bring the table into the Sacred Tent, and place on it all the things that are to be used with it. Bring in the lampstand and fasten the lamps to it.
Ulowetsemo tebulo ndi kuyika zimene zimakhala pamenepo. Kenaka ulowetse choyikapo nyale ndipo uyikepo nyale zake.
5 Put the gold altar for [burning] incense in front of the sacred chest, and set up the curtain at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Uyike guwa lofukiza la golide patsogolo pa bokosi la umboni ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
6 Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
“Uyike guwa lansembe yopsereza patsogolo pa chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano.
7 Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
Uyike beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo uyikemo madzi.
8 Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
Upange bwalo lozungulira chihemacho ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha bwalolo.
9 Then take the oil for anointing, and anoint the Sacred Tent and everything that is in it, to (set it apart/dedicate it) to me. Then it will be holy/sacred.
“Utenge mafuta wodzozera ndipo udzoze chihema ndi chilichonse chili mʼmenemo ndipo zidzakhala zoyeretsedwa.
10 Also anoint the altar for offering sacrifices that will be completely burned, and all the things that will be used with it, and set it apart. Then it also will be holy/sacred.
Kenaka udzoze guwa lansembe lopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Ulipatule guwalo ndipo lidzakhala loyera kwambiri.
11 Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
Udzoze beseni ndi miyendo yake ndipo uzipatule.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
“Ubwere ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano ndipo uwasambitse ndi madzi.
13 Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
Kenaka umuveke Aaroni zovala zopatulika, umudzoze ndi kumupatula kotero kuti athe kunditumikira monga wansembe.
14 Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
Ubweretse ana ake ndipo uwaveke minjiro.
15 and anoint them just as you anointed their father, in order that they also may serve me by working as priests. By anointing them [and their descendants], you will cause them and their descendants to be priests throughout all coming generations.”
Uwadzoze monga momwe unadzozera abambo awo, kotero kuti anditumikire monga ansembe. Kudzozedwako kudzakhala unsembe wawo pa mibado ndi mibado”
16 Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Mose anachita zonse monga Yehova anamulamulira.
17 On the first day of the first month of the next year (OR, second year [after they/we left Egypt]), the people set up the Sacred Tent.
Kotero anayimika chihema tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba mʼchaka chachiwiri.
18 Following Moses’/my instructions, they set up the Sacred Tent and its bases, set up the frames, attached the crossbars, and put up the posts [for the curtains].
Nthawi imene Mose anayimika chihema, anayika matsinde mʼmalo ake, kuyimitsa maferemu, kulowetsa mitanda ndi kuyika nsichi.
19 Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Kenaka anayika tenti pamwamba pa chihema ndipo anayika chophimba pa tenti monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
20 Then he/I took the two stone slabs [on which the commandments were written] and put them in the sacred chest. He/I put the carrying poles [in the rings] on the chest and put the lid on top of the chest.
Iye anatenga miyala ya umboni nayika mʼbokosi lija ndi kuyika chivundikiro pamwamba pake.
21 Then he/I took the chest into [the Very Holy Place inside] the Sacred Tent and hung the curtain. In that way, he/I prevented the people who were outside from seeing the chest. He/I did all this exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Kenaka analowetsa bokosilo mʼchihema ndipo anapachika katani ndi kubisa bokosi la umboni monga momwe Yehova analamulira iye.
22 He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
Mose anayika tebulo mu tenti ya msonkhano kumpoto kwa chihema, kunja kwa katani,
23 He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
ndipo anayikapo buledi pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
24 He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
Iye anayikanso choyikapo nyale mu tenti ya msonkhano moyangʼanana ndi tebulo mbali yakummwera kwa chihema.
25 Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Ndipo anayikapo nyale zija pamaso pa Yehova, monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
26 He/I set the golden altar for burning incense inside the Sacred Tent, in front of the curtain [that separated the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place],
Mose anayika guwa la golide mu tenti ya msonkhano patsogolo pa katani
27 and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
ndipo anapserezapo lubani wonunkhira monga Yehova anamulamulira.
28 He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Kenaka anayika katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
29 At the entrance to the Sacred Tent, he/I set the altar for offering sacrifices that were to be burned completely. Then he/I offered on it the meat that was to be burned completely and the grain offering, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Iye anayika guwa lansembe yopsereza pafupi ndi chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo anapereka nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe ya ufa monga Yehova anamulamulira.
30 He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
Iye anayika beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anathiramo madzi wosamba,
31 Every time Moses/I and Aaron and his sons went into the Sacred Tent or went to the altar, they/we washed their/our hands and feet [ritually], exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
ndipo Mose, Aaroni ndi ana ake amasamba manja ndi mapazi awo.
Iwo amasamba nthawi zonse akamalowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kapena kuyandikira guwa lansembe monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
33 Following Moses’/my instructions, they hung the curtains that surrounded the courtyard and the altar, and they hung the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses/I finished that work.
Kenaka Mose anamanga bwalo kuzungulira chihema ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anayika katani ya pa chipata cha bwalo. Kotero Mose anamaliza ntchito.
34 Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
Kenaka mtambo unaphimba tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
35 Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
Mose sanathe kulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano chifukwa mtambo unali utakhazikika pa chihemacho, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
36 From that day, whenever the Israeli people wanted to move to another place, they went only when the bright cloud rose from above the Sacred Tent.
Pa maulendo awo onse, mtambo ukachoka pamwamba pa chihema, Aisraeli ankasamukanso pamene analipo.
37 If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
Koma ngati mtambo sunachoke, iwo sankasamukanso mpaka tsiku limene udzachoke.
38 Wherever they traveled, the bright cloud that [indicated] Yahweh’s [presence] was above the Sacred Tent during the day, and a [bright] fire was inside the cloud at night, with the result that all the Israeli people [MTY] could see it [at any time].
Kotero mtambo wa Yehova unkakhala pamwamba pa chihema usana, ndi mtambo wamoto umakhala usiku, pamaso pa nyumba yonse ya Israeli pa masiku onse aulendo wawo.
