Exodus 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
“Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye kw’olisimbira Eweema ya Mukama, Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
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.
Essanduuko ey’Endagaano oligiyingiza mu Weema; Essanduuko n’olyoka ogisiikiriza n’eggigi.
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.
Oliyingiza emmeeza, n’otegeka bulungi byonna ebigikolerwako. Oliyingiza ekikondo ky’ettaala era n’otegekako ettaala zaakwo n’ozikoleeza.
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.
Era oliteeka ekyoto ekya zaabu eky’okwoterezangako obubaane mu maaso g’Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama.
6 Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
“Ekyoto eky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa olikissa mu maaso g’omulyango ogwa Weema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
7 Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
olyoke oteeke ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, mu bbensani oteekemu amazzi.
8 Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
Olikola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya.
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.
“Oliddira amafuta ag’okwawula n’ogamansa ku Weema ya Mukama ne byonna ebigirimu, olyoke oyawule Eweema ya Mukama n’ebigirimu byonna, ebeere ntukuvu.
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.
Olimansira amafuta ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebikozesebwako byonna, n’oyawula ekyoto, bwe kityo ekyoto kiribeera kitukuvu nnyo.
11 Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
Era n’ebbensani oligimansirako amafuta, ne kw’etuula, n’ogyawula, n’ogitukuza.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
“Olireeta Alooni ne batabani be ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’obanaaza n’amazzi,
13 Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
n’oyambaza Alooni ebyambalo ebitukuvu n’omusiigako amafuta n’omwawula, alyoke ampeereze nga kabona.
14 Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
Olireeta ne batabani be n’obambaza ekkanzu ey’obwakabona,
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.”
n’obasiigako amafuta, nga bwe wasiize ku kitaabwe, balyoke bampeereze nga bakabona: era okusiigibwako amafuta okwo kulibafuula bakabona ebbanga lyonna mu mirembe gyabwe.”
16 Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Musa bw’atyo n’akola ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
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.
Awo ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, mu mwaka ogwokubiri, Eweema ya Mukama n’esimbibwa.
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].
Musa n’asimba Eweema ya Mukama; n’ateekateeka ebya wansi mw’etuula, n’ategeka olukangaga lwayo, n’asimba empagi zaayo;
19 Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
n’assaako ekibikka ku Weema ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
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.
N’addira Endagaano, ey’ebipande eby’amayinja okwasalibwa Amateeka Ekkumi, n’agiteeka munda mu Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’assa emisituliro ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’assaako kungulu ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira;
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.
n’ayingiza Essanduuko ey’Endagaano munda mu Weema ya Mukama, n’atimbawo eggigi, n’asiikiriza Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
22 He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
N’ayingiza emmeeza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’agiteeka ku ludda olw’Obukiikakkono olwa Weema ya Mukama, wabweru w’eggigi,
23 He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
n’assaako emigaati ng’agitegese bulungi awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
24 He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
N’assa ekikondo ky’ettaala mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ku ludda olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’Eweema ya Mukama, okwolekera emmeeza,
25 Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
n’ategeka ettaala awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
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],
N’ayingiza ekyoto ekya zaabu mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu mu maaso g’eggigi,
27 and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
n’ayokerako obubaane obwa kawoowo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
28 He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
N’ateeka olutimbe olw’omu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama mu kifo kyalwo.
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.
N’ateeka ekyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’aweerayo okwo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eky’obuwunga, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
30 He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
N’atereeza ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, n’assaamu amazzi ag’okunaaba;
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.
Musa ne Alooni ne batabani ba Alooni mwe baanaabiranga engalo zaabwe n’ebigere byabwe.
Buli lwe baayingiranga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne buli lwe baasembereranga ekyoto nga banaaba, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
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.
N’akola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama n’ekyoto, n’assaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya. Bw’atyo Musa omulimu n’agumaliriza.
34 Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
Awo ekire ne kibuutikira Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, yonna n’ejjula ekitiibwa kya Mukama.
35 Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
Musa n’atasobola kuyingira mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, kubanga ekire kyagibuutikira, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijijjula.
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.
Mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna, ekire bwe kyaggyibwanga ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo abaana ba Isirayiri nga basitula nga batambula;
37 If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
naye ekire bwe kitaggyibwangako ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo nga tebasitula kutambula okutuusa ku lunaku lwe kyaggyibwangako.
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].
Ekire kya Mukama kyabeeranga ku Weema ya Mukama emisana, ate ekiro nga mu kire ekyo mubaamu muliro, ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ebyo babiraba mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna.
