Mose 2 40
1 Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Tu agbadɔ la le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 Tsɔ nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la de eme, eye nàtsi xɔmetsovɔ la ale be wòaɣla nubablaɖaka la ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and separate the ark with the vail.
4 Emegbe la, kɔ kplɔ̃ la da ɖe eme, nàkɔ kplɔ̃a ŋutinuwo da ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi, nàtsɔ akaɖiti la de eme, eye nàsi akaɖiawo.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and arrange the order of the showbread upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
5 “Kɔ sikavɔsamlekpui si dzi woado dzudzɔ ɖo la da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ. Tsi xɔmemɔnuvɔawo ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and thou shalt put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.
6 eye nàkɔ numevɔsamlekpui la da ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 Kɔ tsileze la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, eye nàku tsi ɖe eme.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
8 Le esia megbe la, wɔ xɔxɔnu la ƒo xlã agbadɔ la godoo, eye nàtsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ la ɖe xɔxɔnu la ƒe mɔnu.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and put up the hanging at the gate of the court.
9 “Tsɔ ami sisi la, eye nàhlẽe ɖe agbadɔ la kple nu sia nu si le eme la ŋuti, ɖe nu siwo ŋu dɔ woawɔ kple agbadɔ la ƒe akpawo kple xɔmenuawo ŋuti be nàkɔ wo ŋuti, eye wo ŋuti nakɔ.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein; and thou shalt hallow it, with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.
10 Hlẽ ami sisi la ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo ŋuti, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu; ekema vɔsamlekpui la ŋuti akɔ nyuie.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels; and thou shalt sanctify the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
11 Si ami na tsileze la kple eƒe zɔ, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe.
And thou shalt anoint the laver with its foot, and sanctify it.
12 “Azɔ la, kplɔ Aron kple via ŋutsuwo va agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu eye nàle tsi na wo.
And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 Do awu kɔkɔewo na Aron eye nàsi ami nɛ, akɔ eŋu be wòasubɔm abe nunɔla ene.
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.
14 Emegbe la, nàkplɔ via ŋutsuwo vɛ, nàdo woƒe awuwo na wo,
And his sons shalt thou bring near, and clothe them with coats:
15 eye nàsi ami na wo abe ale si nàsii na wo fofo ene, ale be woasubɔm abe nunɔlawo ene. Ami sisi sia atsi wo ŋu tegbetegbe, tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me: wo viwo katã kple wo viwo ƒe viwo azu nunɔlawo nam tegbetegbe.”
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou hast anointed their father, that they may be priests unto me; and this shall be, that their anointing shall be unto them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Ale Mose de asi nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖo nɛ be wòawɔ la wɔwɔ me.
And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had commanded him, so did he.
17 Le ƒe evelia ƒe ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, wotu agbadɔ la.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18 Mose kɔ zɔwo de sɔtiawo te, eye wòklã ʋuƒowo ɖe sɔtiawo ŋu.
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
19 Ekeke avɔ la ɖe atixɔ la ŋu, eye wòda tamenuwo ɖe edzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ pɛpɛpɛ la ene.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it above; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20 Etsɔ kpe siwo dzi woŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖo la da ɖe nubablaɖaka la me, etsi aɖakatsɔtiawo ɖe eŋu, eye wòtsɔ sikanutunu, amenuveveteƒe la tu enu.
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and placed the staves on the ark; and he put the mercy-seat upon the ark above.
21 Emegbe la, ekɔ nubablaɖaka la va agbadɔ la me, eye wòtsɔ xɔmetsovɔ la xe eŋkume abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ pɛpɛpɛ la ene.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the separation, and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 Azɔ la, ekɔ Kplɔ̃ la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me le anyiehe lɔƒo, le xɔmetsovɔ la godo,
And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.
23 eye wòtsɔ ŋkumeɖobolo la da ɖe kplɔ̃ la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene.
And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 Mose kɔ akaɖiti la da ɖe kplɔ̃ la kasa le agbadɔ la me le dziehe lɔƒo.
And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.
25 Esi akaɖiawo le Yehowa ŋkume le ɖoɖoawo nu,
And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 eye wòkɔ sikavɔsamlekpui la da ɖe agbadɔ la me te ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋu.
And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail.
27 Etsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo do dzudzɔ ɖe edzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ ene.
And he burnt thereon the incense of spices; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 Etsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ la ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.
29 ekɔ numevɔsamlekpui la da ɖe gota te ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ŋu, eye wòme numevɔsa kple nuɖuvɔsa le vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ pɛpɛpɛ la ene.
And the altar of burnt-offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and he offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meat-offering; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 Emegbe la, ekɔ tsileze la da ɖe Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome. Eku tsi ɖe eme wòyɔ ale be nunɔlawo ate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ le asikɔklɔ kple afɔkɔklɔ me.
And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.
31 Mose kple Aron kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo klɔ woƒe asiwo kple afɔwo le afi sia.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.
32 Ɣe sia ɣi si woato vɔsamlekpui la ŋu be yewoage ɖe agbadɔ la me la, wotɔna, klɔa asi kple afɔ, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed themselves; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 Azɔ la, Mose tɔ kpɔ ƒo xlã nɔƒe la kple vɔsamlekpui la, eye wòtsi xɔmemɔnuvɔ ɖe nɔƒe la ƒe mɔnu. Ale Mose wu eƒe dɔ la nu mlɔeba.
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the hanging of the gate of the court; and so did Moses finish the work.
34 Tete lilikpo la tsyɔ Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la dzi eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ eme.
And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 Mose mete ŋu ge ɖe eme o, elabena lilikpo la nɔ afi ma, eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ agbadɔ la me fũu.
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation; because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36 Ne lilikpo la ho, eye wòɖe zɔ la, Israelviwo yia mɔzɔzɔ la dzi, dzea eyome.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.
37 Ke ne lilikpo la tɔ la, woawo hã wotɔna va se ɖe esime lilikpo la gaɖe zɔ.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up.
38 Yehowa ƒe lilikpo la tɔna ɖe agbadɔ la dzi le ŋkeke me. Ke le zã me la, dzo klẽna le lilikpo la me, ale be Israelviwo katã nate ŋu akpɔe. Nu sia yi edzi le woƒe mɔzɔzɔwo katã me.
For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeyings.
