Exodus 40
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 'On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
Ngosuku lwenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uzamisa ithabhanekele, ithente lenhlangano,
3 and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
ubusufaka lapho umtshokotsho wobufakazi, umbomboze umtshokotsho ngeveyili.
4 and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.
Ungenise itafula, uhlele okuhlelwayo phezu kwalo; ungenise uluthi lwesibane, ulumathise izibane zalo.
5 'And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
Ubeke ilathi legolide lempepha phambi komtshokotsho wobufakazi, ulengise isilenge somnyango wethabhanekele.
6 and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
Ubeke ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa phambi komnyango wethabhanekele wethente lenhlangano,
7 and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.
ubeke inditshi yokugezela phakathi kwethente lenhlangano lelathi, uthele amanzi lapho.
8 'And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,
Umise iguma inhlangothi zonke, ulengise isilenge sesango leguma.
9 and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;
Uthathe amafutha okugcoba, ugcobe ithabhanekele lakho konke okukulo, ulingcwelise lempahla yalo yonke, njalo lizakuba ngcwele.
10 and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;
Njalo ugcobe ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lezitsha zalo zonke, ulingcwelise ilathi, njalo ilathi lizakuba yingcwelengcwele.
11 and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
Njalo ugcobe inditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo, uyingcwelise.
12 'And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;
Usondeze uAroni lamadodana akhe emnyango wethente lenhlangano, ubagezise ngamanzi.
13 and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
Ugqokise uAroni izembatho ezingcwele, umgcobe, umngcwelise, ukuze angisebenzele njengompristi.
14 'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,
Usondeze amadodana akhe, uwagqokise izigqoko,
15 and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'
uwagcobe njengalokhu ugcobe uyise, ukuze angisebenzele njengabapristi; kuzakuthi-ke ukugcotshwa kwabo kuzakuba kubo yibupristi obuphakade kuzizukulwana zabo.
16 And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
UMozisi wenza njengakho konke iNkosi eyayimlaye khona; wenza njalo.
17 And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;
Kwasekusithi ngenyanga yokuqala ngomnyaka wesibili ngolokuqala lwenyanga ithabhanekele lamiswa.
18 and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,
UMozisi wasemisa ithabhanekele; wabeka phansi izisekelo zalo, wamisa amapulanka alo, wafaka imithando yalo, wamisa insika zalo.
19 and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Wendlala ithente phezu kwethabhanekele, wabeka isifulelo sethente phezu kwalo phezulu, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
20 And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;
Wathatha wafaka ubufakazi emtshokotshweni, wafaka imijabo emtshokotshweni, wafaka isihlalo somusa ngaphezu komtshokotsho phezulu.
21 and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Wangenisa umtshokotsho ethabhanekeleni, wamisa iveyili lesembeso wambomboza umtshokotsho wobufakazi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
22 And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,
Wasefaka itafula ethenteni lenhlangano, eceleni kwethabhanekele ngenyakatho ngaphandle kweveyili,
23 and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
wahlela isinkwa ngohlelo phezu kwalo phambi kweNkosi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
24 And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,
Wafaka uluthi lwesibane ethenteni lenhlangano, maqondana letafula, eceleni kwethabhanekele ngeningizimu.
25 and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Walumathisa izibane phambi kweNkosi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
26 And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,
Wafaka ilathi legolide ethenteni lenhlangano phambi kweveyili,
27 and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
watshisa kulo impepha elephunga elimnandi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
28 And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
Walengisa isilenge somnyango wethabhanekele.
29 and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Wabeka ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa emnyango wethabhanekele lethente lenhlangano, wanikela kulo umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wokudla, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
30 And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,
Wabeka inditshi yokugezela phakathi kwethente lenhlangano lelathi, wathela lapho amanzi okugeza.
31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
UMozisi loAroni lamadodana akhe bagezela kuyo izandla zabo lenyawo zabo;
32 in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
ekungeneni kwabo ethenteni lenhlangano lekusondeleni kwabo elathini bageza, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
33 And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.
Wasemisa iguma lazingelezela ithabhanekele lelathi, walengisa isilenge sesango leguma. UMozisi wasewuqeda umsebenzi.
34 And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;
Iyezi laselisibekela ithente lenhlangano, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa ithabhanekele.
35 and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.
Ngakho uMozisi wayengelakungena ethenteni lenhlangano, ngoba iyezi lahlala phezu kwalo lenkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa ithabhanekele.
36 And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;
Lalapho iyezi lisenyuswa lisuka ethabhanekeleni, abantwana bakoIsrayeli baqhubekela phambili enhambeni zabo zonke,
37 and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:
kodwa lapho iyezi lingenyuswanga kabahambanga kuze kufike usuku lokwenyuswa kwalo.
38 for the cloud of Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
Ngoba iyezi leNkosi laliphezu kwethabhanekele emini, lomlilo wawuphezu kwalo ebusuku, phambi kwamehlo endlu yonke yakoIsrayeli, enhambeni zabo zonke.
