Exodus 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 “On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
“Ke len se omeet in malem se meet, tulokunak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik.
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.
Filiya Tuptup in Wuleang loac, ma neinyen Ma Sap Singoul, ac sripisrya mwe lisrlisr uh in lusrungak.
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.
Use tepu nu loac ac filiya kufwa nukewa fac. Oayapa use nien lam uh nu loac ac oakiya lam uh fac.
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.
Filiya loang gold mwe furreak mwe keng mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, ac sripisrya mwe lisrlisr ke nien utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
6 Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
Filiya loang in furreak mwe kisa, in oan meet liki mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
7 Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
Likiya pesin in winwin inmasrlon Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac loang uh, ac nwakla ke kof.
8 Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
Tulokunak kalkal in sang rauneak, ac sripisrya mwe lisrlisr ke acn in utyak nu in kalkal uh.
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.
“Toko kisakin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac kufwa nukewa kac ke kom mosrwela ke oil in akmusra mutal, na ma nukewa ac fah mutal.
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.
Kisakin loang in mwe kisa firir ac kufwa nukewa kac ke kom mosrwela, na ac fah arulana mutal.
11 Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
Kisakin pac pesin in winwin ac ma loangeya in lumah sacna.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
“Usalu Aaron ac wen natul nu ke acn in utyak lun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac twetekunulosla ke sie yihyih mutal.
13 Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
Nokmulang Aaron ke nuknuk lun mwet tol, ac mosrwella in akmutalyal, tuh el fah ku in kulansupweyu in oru orekma lun mwet tol.
14 Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
Use wen natul ac nokmulosyang ke nuknuk loeloes loac.
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.”
Na mosrwelosla, in oana ke kom mosrwela papa tumalos, tuh elos in ku in kulansupweyu ke ma kunen mwet tol. Akmusra se inge ac oru tuh elos, ac fwil nukewa natulos, in mwet tol nwe tok.”
16 Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Moses el orala ma nukewa oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
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.
Ouinge ke len se oemeet in malem se meet ke yac se akluo tukun elos illa liki facl Egypt, tulokinyukyak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal Sin LEUM GOD.
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].
Moses el oakiya kapin sru uh, tulokunak frem uh, sang sukan brace nu kac, ac tulokunak sru nu kac.
19 Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
El laknelik mwe afyuf se meet ac sang sunya fin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, na el sifil sunya ke mwe afyuf se akluo, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
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.
Na el eis eot tupasrpasr luo ac sang nu in Tuptup in Wuleang. El isongang srenenu nu ke ring ke Tuptup uh, ac sang mwe afyuf uh nu fac.
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.
Na el usak Tuptup uh nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac srupusrak mwe lisrlisr in lusrungak Tuptup in Wuleang, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.
22 He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
El likiya tepu uh in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, layen nu epang likin mwe lisrlisr uh,
23 He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
ac eis bread kisakinyuk nu sin LEUM GOD ac takunla fac, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
24 He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
El filiya nien lam uh in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, layen eir in lohm uh, lainang tepu uh,
25 Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
ac el sang lam uh nu ke nien lam uh, ac akosak ye mutun LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
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],
El filiya loang gold in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ke mutun lisrlisr uh,
27 and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
ac el esukak mwe kisa keng fac, in oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
28 He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
El srupusrak mwe lisrlisr ke acn in utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal,
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.
na el oakiya loang nu ke mwe kisa firir mutun lisrlisr uh. El kisakin mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa wheat fac, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses.
30 He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
El filiya pesin in winwin inmasrlon Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac loang in kisa, ac nwakla ke kof.
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.
Moses, Aaron, ac wen natul ohlla paolos ac nialos kac
ke pacl nukewa elos ac ilyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ku kalukyang nu ke loang in kisa, in oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
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.
Moses el tulokunak kalkal uh rauneak Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac loang uh, ac srupusrak lisrlisr ke acn in utyak nu ke kalkal uh. Ouinge el aksafyela orekma nukewa.
34 Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
Na pukunyeng se afinya Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ac kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD nwakla in lohm uh.
35 Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
Ke sripa inge, Moses el tia ku in utyak nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
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.
Mwet Israel elos ac tuleya lohm nuknuk selos ac mukuila nu ke sie pac acn ke pacl na pukunyeng sac ac touyak liki Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
37 If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
Lusenna pacl pukunyeng sac oanna fin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, elos ac tia mokle nien aktuktuk lalos.
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].
Ke lusenna pacl mwet Israel elos fufahsryesr, LEUM GOD El oasr yorolos. Elos liye pukunyeng lal oan fin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ke len, ac elos liye e firirrir in pukunyeng uh ke fong.
