Exodus 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 “On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
— Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, okotelemisa Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani;
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.
okotia kati na yango Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okozipa yango na rido.
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.
Okokotisa mesa mpe okotia biloko oyo esengeli kozala likolo na yango; okokotisa etelemiselo ya minda mpe okopelisa minda na yango.
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.
Okotia etumbelo ya malasi, oyo basala na wolo liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okotia rido, na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
6 Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
Okotia etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba liboso ya ekotelo ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
7 Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
mpe okotia sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo, mpe okotia mayi kati na yango.
8 Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
Okotonga lopango zingazinga na yango mpe okotia rido na ekotelo ya lopango.
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.
Okozwa mafuta ya epakolami, okopakola Mongombo mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, mpe okobulisa yango elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso mpe yango ekozala bule.
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.
Okopakola mafuta na etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso; okobulisa etumbelo mpe yango ekozala bule koleka.
11 Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
Okopakola mafuta na sani mpo na komipetola mpe evandelo na yango, mpe okobulisa yango.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
Okomema Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe okosukola bango na mayi.
13 Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
Sima na yango, okolatisa Aron bilamba ya bule, okopakola ye mafuta mpe okobulisa ye mpo ete asalela Ngai lokola Nganga-Nzambe.
14 Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
Okomema mpe bana na ye ya mibali mpe okolatisa bango banzambala.
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.”
Okopakola bango mafuta ndenge opakolaki tata na bango, mpo ete basalela Ngai lokola Banganga-Nzambe: epakolami na bango ekopesa bango nzela mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe libela na libela kati na bakitani na bango.
16 Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Moyize asalaki nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye.
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.
Boye, Mongombo etelemisamaki na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso na mobu ya mibale.
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].
Tango Moyize atelemisaki Mongombo, atiaki bivandelo na esika na yango, atiaki bakadre, akotisaki mabaya mpe atelemisaki makonzi;
19 Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
atandaki ndako ya kapo na likolo ya Mongombo mpe atiaki ezipelo na likolo ya ndako ya kapo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
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.
Moyize azwaki bitando nyonso mibale ya mabanga ya Boyokani mpe atiaki yango kati na Sanduku, akangisaki mabaya na Sanduku mpe atiaki esika ya bolimbisi masumu na likolo na yango.
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.
Moyize akotisaki Sanduku kati na Mongombo mpe atiaki rido mpo na kokabola Esika ya bule mpe Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, mpo ete bato bakoka komona Sanduku ya Litatoli te, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
22 He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
Moyize atiaki mesa kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na ngambo ya nor ya Mongombo libanda ya rido;
23 He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
mpe atiaki mapa na molongo, liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
24 He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
Atiaki etelemiselo ya minda kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, etalana na mesa, na ngambo ya sude ya Mongombo.
25 Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Apelisaki minda liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
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],
Atiaki etumbelo ya wolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani liboso ya rido,
27 and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
mpe atumbaki likolo na yango ansa ya solo kitoko, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
28 He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Bongo atiaki rido na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
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.
Atiaki etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba pembeni ya ekuke ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, abonzaki likolo na yango bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo ya mbuma, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
30 He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
Atiaki sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo mpe atiaki kati na yango mayi ya kosukola.
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.
Moyize, Aron mpe bana mibali ya Aron basalelaki yango mpo na kosukola maboko mpe makolo na bango.
Bazalaki komisukola tango nyonso bazalaki kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani to kopusana pembeni ya etumbelo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
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.
Moyize atelemisaki lopango pembeni-pembeni ya Mongombo mpe ya etumbelo, mpe atiaki rido na ekuke ya lopango. Ezali boye nde Moyize asilisaki mosala.
34 Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
Lipata ezipaki Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
35 Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
Moyize akokaki lisusu te kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te lipata evandaki likolo na yango mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
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.
Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kolongwa na likolo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotelema mpo na kokende na mobembo na bango.
37 If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
Kasi soki lipata elongwe te, bango mpe bazalaki kolongwa te, bazalaki kozela kino na mokolo oyo lipata ekolongwa.
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].
Na moyi, lipata ya Yawe ezalaki na likolo ya Mongombo; bongo na butu, moto ezalaki kongala kati na lipata, mpe miso ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele ezalaki komona yango. Esalemaki bongo na mibembo na bango nyonso.
