Exodus 40

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

2 “On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

٢ «تُقِيمُ مَسْكَنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ).

3 You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

٣ وَتَضَعُ فِيهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشَرُ، وَتَسْتُرُهُ بِالْحِجَابِ.

4 You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lamp stand, and light its lamps.

٤ ثُمَّ تُدْخِلُ الْمَائِدَةَ وَتُرَتِّبُ أَوَانِيهَا عَلَيْهَا، وَأَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَتُضِيءُ سُرُجَهَا.

5 You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

٥ وَتَضَعُ مَذْبَحَ الْبَخُورِ الذَّهَبِيَّ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ الْقَائِمِ وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ، وَتُعَلِّقُ سَتَائِرَ بَابِ الْمَسْكَنِ.

6 “You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

٦ وَتَجْعَلُ مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ النُّحَاسِيَّ أَمَامَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

7 You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.

٧ ثُمَّ تَضَعُ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ بَيْنَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَامْلأْهُ بِالْمَاءِ.

8 You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

٨ وَتَنْصِبُ سَتَائِرَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ، وَتُعَلِّقُ سِتَارَ مَدْخَلِهَا.

9 “You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture, and it will be holy.

٩ وَتَأْخُذُ دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ وَتَمْسَحُ بِهِ الْخَيْمَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، وَتُقَدِّسُ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهَا لِتَكُونَ مُخَصَّصَةً لِي.

10 You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.

١٠ وَتَمْسَحُ أَيْضاً مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَجَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ لِيَكُونَ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ.

11 You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.

١١ وَكَذَلِكَ تَمْسَحُ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ وَقَاعِدَتَهُ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ.

12 “You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

١٢ وَتُحْضِرُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَتَغْسِلُهُمْ بِمَاءٍ.

13 You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.

١٣ وَتُلْبِسُ هَرُونَ ثِيَابَهُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ، وَتَمْسَحُهُ وَتُكَرِّسُهُ كَاهِناً لِخِدْمَتِي.

14 You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.

١٤ ثُمَّ تُحْضِرُ بَنِيهِ وَتُلْبِسُهُمْ أَقْمِصَتَهُمْ أَيْضاً.

15 You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

١٥ وَتَمْسَحُهُمْ كَمَا مَسَحْتَ أَبَاهُمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَهَنَةً لِي. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ الْمَسْحَةُ مَسْحَةَ كَهَنُوتٍ لَهُمْ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ».

16 Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.

١٦ فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى كُلَّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ.

17 In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.

١٧ فَأَقَامَ الْمَسْكَنَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (لِلسَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ).

18 Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.

١٨ وَصَبَّ قَوَاعِدَهُ وَوَضَعَ أَلْوَاحَهُ وَعَوَارِضَهُ، وَنَصَبَ أَعْمِدَتَهُ.

19 He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

١٩ وَبَسَطَ السَّقْفَ فَوْقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَوَضَعَ غِطَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

20 He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

٢٠ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ لَوْحَيِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرِ وَوَضَعَهَا فِي التَّابُوتِ، وَوَضَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ عَلَى التَّابُوتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the covenant, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٢١ وَحَمَلَ التَّابُوتَ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، وَسَتَرَ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ بِالْحِجَابِ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

22 He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.

٢٢ وَأَقَامَ الْمَائِدَةَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ فِي الْجَانِبِ الشِّمَالِيِّ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنِ خَارِجَ الْحِجَابِ (أَيْ فِي الْقُدْسِ).

23 He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٢٣ وَرَتَّبَ مُوسَى خُبْزَ التَّقْدِمَةِ عَلَى الْمَائِدَةِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ.

24 He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

٢٤ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الْمَنَارَةَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، فِي الْجَانِبِ الْجَنُوبِيِّ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنِ مُقَابِلَ الْمَائِدَةِ.

25 He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٢٥ وَأَضَاءَ سُرُجَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ.

26 He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;

٢٦ وَوَضَعَ مَذْبَحَ الذَّهَبِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَمَامَ الْحِجَابِ.

27 and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٢٧ وَأَحْرَقَ عَلَيْهِ بَخُوراً عَطِراً، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

28 He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

٢٨ وَوَضَعَ سِتَارَةً عَلَى مَدْخَلِ الْخَيْمَةِ.

29 He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٢٩ وَوَضَعَ مَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ عِنْدَ بَابِ مَسَكَنِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. وَأَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالتَّقْدِمَةَ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ.

30 He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.

٣٠ وَوَضَعَ حَوْضَ الاغْتِسَالِ بَيْنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَمَذْبَحِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ. وَمَلأَهُ بِالْمَاءِ لِلاغْتِسَالِ.

31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

٣١ لِيَغْسِلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ بِمَائِهِ.

32 When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٣٢ فَيَغْتَسِلُونَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلُوا إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ أَوِ اقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

33 He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

٣٣ ثُمَّ نَصَبَ مُوسَى جَوَانِبَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ، وَعَلَّقَ سِتَارَ مَدْخَلِهَا. وَهَكَذَا أَكْمَلَ مُوسَى الْعَمَلَ.

34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.

٣٤ وَمَا لَبِثَتِ السَّحَابَةُ أَنْ غَطَّتْ خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَمَلأَ جَلالُ الرَّبِّ الْمَسْكَنَ،

35 Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.

٣٥ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مُوسَى دُخُولَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، لأَنَّ السَّحَابَةَ حَلَّتْ عَلَيْهَا، وَمَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَ الْمَسْكَنَ.

36 When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

٣٦ وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَرْتَحِلُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَسْفَارِهِمْ، إِلا إذَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنِ الْمَسْكَنِ.

37 but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up.

٣٧ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرْتَفِعْ، يَمْكُثُونَ حَيْثُ هُمْ حَتَّى يَوْمِ ارْتِفَاعِهَا.

38 For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

٣٨ وَكَانَتِ السَّحَابَةُ تُغَطِّي الْمَسْكَنَ نَهَاراً، وَتَتَوَهَّجُ مِنْهَا نَارٌ لَيْلاً، عَلَى مَرْأَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ رِحْلاتِهِمْ.
