< Exodus 40 >

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
2 “On the first day of the first month of the new year you must set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.
“Pada hari pertama bulan pertama, dirikanlah kemah-Ku. Kemah itu melambangkan kehadiran-Ku di antara umat-Ku.
3 You must place the ark of the testimony in it, and you must shield the ark with the curtain.
Tempatkanlah peti perjanjian di dalamnya, di ruang mahakudus. Lalu pasanglah tirai pemisah antara ruang mahakudus dengan ruang kudus.
4 You must bring in the table and set in order the things that belong on it. Then you must bring in the lampstand and set up the lamps.
Taruhlah meja roti sajian di dalam kemah itu dan aturlah semua perlengkapannya. Bawalah juga tiang pelita bercabang dan nyalakanlah sumbu-sumbu pelitanya.
5 You must put the golden incense altar before the ark of the testimony, and you must put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
“Letakkan mezbah emas untuk membakar dupa di depan peti perjanjian, dan pasanglah tirai di pintu masuk kemah-Ku.
6 You must put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.
Tempatkanlah mezbah kurban di bagian halaman yang di dekat pintu kemah-Ku.
7 You must put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and you must put water in it.
Taruhlah bejana pembasuhan di antara kemah-Ku dan mezbah itu, lalu isilah dengan air.
8 You must set up the courtyard around it, and you must hang up the curtain at the courtyard entrance.
Dirikanlah pagar di sekeliling halaman kemah dan pasanglah tirai di pintu gerbang halaman.
9 You must take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything that is in it. You must set it apart and all its furnishings to me; then it will be holy.
“Kemudian ambillah minyak pengurapan yang sudah dikuduskan bagi-Ku, dan urapilah kemah-Ku beserta semua perlengkapan di dalamnya, supaya semuanya itu dikuduskan demi pelayanan bagi-Ku.
10 You must anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all its utensils. You must set apart the altar to me and it will become very holy to me.
Urapilah juga mezbah kurban dan semua perlengkapannya, supaya semua itu— terkhusus mezbahnya— dikuduskan demi pelayanan bagi-Ku.
11 You must anoint the bronze basin and its base and set it apart to me.
Urapilah juga bejana pembasuhan dan tumpuannya agar menjadi kudus bagi-Ku.
12 You are to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and you must wash them with water.
“Kemudian ajaklah Harun dan anak-anaknya mendekat ke pintu masuk kemah-Ku dan basuhlah mereka dengan air.
13 You are to clothe Aaron with the garments that are set apart to me, anoint him and set him apart so that he may serve as my priest.
Sesudah itu, kenakanlah pada Harun pakaian yang sudah dibuat khusus bagi dia untuk melayani di hadapan-Ku. Urapilah Harun agar dia dikhususkan untuk melayani-Ku sebagai imam.
14 You are to bring his sons and clothe them with coats.
Lalu ajaklah anak-anak Harun maju dan kenakanlah pada mereka baju panjang yang sudah disiapkan.
15 You must anoint them as you anointed their father so that they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will make for them a permanent priesthood throughout their people's generations.”
Urapilah mereka seperti kamu mengurapi ayah mereka, agar mereka juga dapat melayani-Ku sebagai imam. Dengan pengurapan itu, mereka dan keturunan mereka dikhususkan untuk senantiasa melayani Aku sebagai imam.”
16 This is what Moses did; he followed all that Yahweh had commanded him. He did all these things.
Musa melaksanakan semuanya itu sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
17 So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year.
Maka kemah TUHAN didirikan pada hari pertama bulan pertama dalam tahun kedua sesudah mereka meninggalkan Mesir.
18 Moses set up the tabernacle, put its bases in place, set up its frames, attached its bars, and set up its pillars and posts.
Dibantu oleh orang-orang suku Lewi, Musa mendirikan kemah itu dengan meletakan alas-alasnya, memasang papan-papan rangka dan kayu-kayu lintangnya, kemudian mendirikan tiang-tiangnya.
19 He spread the covering over the tabernacle and put tent over it, as Yahweh had commanded him.
Lalu mereka membentangkan semua lapisan atap di atas rangka-rangka itu, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
20 He took the covenant decrees and put them into the ark. He also placed the poles on the ark and put the atonement lid on it.
Musa mengambil kedua lempengan batu yang bertuliskan sepuluh perintah Allah dan memasukkannya ke dalam peti perjanjian. Selanjutnya dia memasang tongkat pengusung pada peti itu dan meletakkan penutup peti, yaitu Takhta Pendamaian, di atasnya.
21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle. He set up the curtain for it to shield the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh had commanded him.
Lalu dia membawa peti itu ke dalam ruang mahakudus di kemah TUHAN dan memasang tirai pemisah antara ruang kudus dengan ruang mahakudus agar peti itu tidak terlihat dari luar, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
22 He put the table into the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain.
Kemudian Musa menempatkan meja roti sajian di dalam kemah TUHAN, pada sisi utara di depan tirai pemisah,
23 He placed the bread in order on the table before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him.
dan menyusun roti sajian di atas meja itu, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
24 He put the lampstand into the tent of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
Musa menempatkan tiang pelita di dalam kemah TUHAN di sisi selatan, berhadapan dengan meja itu.
25 He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him.
Dia juga menyalakan pelita-pelita di hadapan TUHAN, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
26 He put the golden incense altar into the tent of meeting in front of the curtain.
Lalu Musa meletakkan mezbah dupa di depan tirai di dalam kemah itu
27 He burned fragrant incense on it, as Yahweh had commanded him.
dan membakar dupa di sana, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
28 He hung the curtain at the tabernacle entrance.
Sesudah itu, Musa dibantu beberapa orang dari suku Lewi memasang tirai pada pintu masuk kemah TUHAN.
29 He put the altar for the burnt offering at the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting. He offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as Yahweh had commanded him.
Mereka juga meletakkan mezbah kurban di depan pintu masuk kemah itu. Lalu Musa mempersembahkan kurban yang dibakar habis dan persembahan gandum-ganduman, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
30 He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and he put water in it for washing.
Musa menyuruh beberapa orang meletakkan bejana pembasuhan di antara kemah dan mezbah, lalu mengisinya dengan air.
31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet from the basin
Air itu disiapkan supaya Musa, Harun, dan anak-anak Harun dapat membasuh tangan dan kaki mereka di sana.
32 whenever they would go into the tent of meeting and whenever they would go up to the altar. They washed themselves, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
Mereka wajib membasuh tangan dan kaki setiap hendak memasuki kemah itu atau mendekat ke mezbah, sesuai perintah TUHAN kepada Musa.
33 Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar. He set up the curtain at the courtyard entrance. In this way, Moses finished the work.
Terakhir, Musa dan orang-orang Lewi mendirikan pagar halaman di sekeliling kemah itu serta mezbah, dan memasang tirai pada pintu gerbang halaman. Dengan demikian, selesailah seluruh pekerjaan mendirikan kemah TUHAN.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and Yahweh's glory filled the tabernacle.
Kemudian awan kemuliaan TUHAN menutup dan memenuhi kemah TUHAN. Musa tidak bisa masuk selama kemuliaan TUHAN masih memenuhi kemah itu.
35 Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and because Yahweh's glory filled the tabernacle.
36 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey.
Sepanjang perjalanan umat Israel, setiap kali awan itu naik dari atas kemah TUHAN, umat Israel berangkat melanjutkan perjalanan mereka.
37 But if the cloud did not rise up from the tabernacle, then the people would not travel. They would stay until the day that it was lifted up.
Selama awan itu tidak naik dari kemah, mereka tetap tinggal di tempat perkemahan.
38 For Yahweh's cloud was over the tabernacle by day, and his fire was over it by night, in plain view of all the people of Israel throughout their journey.
Awan TUHAN berdiam di atas kemah itu pada siang hari dan menjadi berapi pada malam hari, sehingga dapat terlihat setiap saat oleh seluruh umat Israel sepanjang perjalanan mereka.
