Ọpụpụ 40
1 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Guzobe ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ.
“In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall raise the tabernacle of the testimony,
3 Dọnye igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke Ihe Ama ahụ nʼime ya. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nke ga-ezo ya.
and you shall place the ark in it, and you shall release the veil before it.
4 Webata tebul ahụ, na ngwongwo dị nʼelu ya, webatakwa ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ. Mụnyekwa oriọna ndị ahụ ọkụ.
And having brought in the table, you shall place the things which were solemnly commanded upon it. The lampstand shall stand with its lamps,
5 Doo ebe ịchụ aja ọlaedo ahụ nke e mere maka ịchụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nke kwesiri ịdị nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ.
and the altar of gold, in which the incense is burned, shall stand before the ark of the testimony. You shall place the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,
6 “Doo ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ịbata nʼụlọ nzute bụ ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
and before it, the altar of holocaust.
7 Dọnye efere ukwu ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Gbajukwaa ya mmiri.
The washtub shall stand between the altar and the tabernacle, and you shall fill it with water.
8 Guzobe ogige gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ogige ahụ.
And you shall encompass the atrium and its entrance with hangings.
9 “Were mmanụ nsọ ahụ tee ụlọ nzute ahụ, ya na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, si otu a doo ha nsọ ma ngwongwo ịchọ mma ya niile. Ọ ga-abụ ebe dị nsọ.
And, having taken up the oil of unction, you shall anoint the tabernacle along with its articles, so that they may be sanctified.
10 Mgbe ahụ, tee ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ mmanụ ya na ihe ya niile e ji eje ozi. Doo ebe ịchụ aja ahụ nsọ, ọ ga-abụkwa ebe dịkarịsịrị nsọ.
The altar of holocaust and all its vessels,
11 Tekwaa efere ukwu ịsa mmiri ahụ na ụkwụ ya mmanụ. Doo ha nsọ.
the washtub with its base, and all things, you shall consecrate with the oil of unction, so that they may be the Holy of holies.
12 “Kpọbata Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute. Jiri mmiri saa ha ahụ nʼebe ahụ.
And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and, having washed them with water,
13 Yikwasị Erọn uwe nsọ ya. Tekwaa ya mmanụ, ido ya nsọ maka i jere m ozi dịka onye nchụaja.
14 Mekwaa ka ụmụ ya ndị ikom bịaruo nso, yikwasịkwa ha uwe ime ahụ.
15 Tee ha mmanụ dịka i si tee nna ha, ime ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere m ozi dịka ndị nchụaja. Otite mmanụ ha ga-abụ nye ọrụ nchụaja ha nke ga-adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.”
you shall clothe them in the holy vestments, so that they may minister to me, and so that their unction may accomplish an everlasting priesthood.”
16 Mosis mezuru ihe niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu ime.
And Moses did all that the Lord had instructed.
17 O ruo, nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ, nʼafọ nke abụọ, e mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ.
Therefore, in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was put in place.
18 Mosis mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ site nʼitinye mbudo ibo ya niile, ụkwụ ya na mkpọrọ osisi ya niile nʼọnọdụ ha.
And Moses raised it up, and he positioned the panels as well as the bases and the bars, and he set up the columns,
19 Emesịa, ọ gbasapụrụ ihe mkpuchi nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ, tụkwasịkwa okpukpu ihe mkpuchi nke abụọ nʼelu ya dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu.
and he stretched out the roof over the tabernacle, imposing a cover above it, just as the Lord had decreed.
20 O tinyere Ihe Ama nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Emesịa, ọ tụkwasịkwara mkpara e ji ebu igbe ahụ nʼakụkụ igbe ahụ, were okwuchi igbe ahụ, nke bụ Oche Ebere ahụ, kpuchie igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
And he placed the testimony in the ark, applying the bars beneath, and the oracle above.
21 Emesịa, o bubatara igbe ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ, kwụnyekwa akwa mgbochi nke mgbochi, kewapụ igbe iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it, in order to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
22 Mosis dọnyere tebul ahụ nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, na mpụta nke akwa mgbochi ahụ.
And he placed the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, beyond the veil,
23 Ọ dọkwasịrị achịcha ahụ a na-edo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼelu tebul ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
arranging before it the bread of the presence, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
24 Ọ dọkwasịrị ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nʼakụkụ tebul ahụ, nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And he placed the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, away from the table, on the south side,
25 Ọ mụnyere oriọna ndị ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye nʼiwu.
setting the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
26 Mosis debere ebe ịchụ aja ọlaedo ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nso nso ebe akwa mgbochi ahụ dị,
He also positioned the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, opposite the veil,
27 surekwaa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ya, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
and he heaped upon it the incense of aromatics, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 Ọ kwụbara akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
And he positioned the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony,
29 Debekwa ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ nso ọnụ ụzọ ịba ụlọ nzute ahụ. O surekwara aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ya, na aja onyinye mkpụrụ ọka dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya nʼiwu.
and the altar of holocaust in the vestibule of the testimony, offering the holocaust and the sacrifices upon it, just as the Lord had decreed.
30 Ọ dọbara efere ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja, wụjuo ya mmiri, maka iji sachaa ihe.
Likewise, he stationed the washtub between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
31 Mosis, na Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na-eji ya akwọcha aka ha, sakwaa ụkwụ ha.
And Moses and Aaron, along with his sons, washed their hands and feet,
32 Mgbe ọbụla ha na-abanye nʼụlọ nzute na mgbe ha na-abịa nso ebe ịchụ aja, ha na-asacha, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya Mosis nʼiwu.
whenever they would enter the covering of the covenant, and when they approached to the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
33 Mosis guzobere ogige ahụ gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ na ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. O konyekwara akwa mgbochi nʼụzọ mbata nke ogige ụlọ nzute ahụ. Otu a, Mosis rụzuru ọrụ niile ahụ.
And he raised up the atrium around the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging at its entrance. After all these things were perfected,
34 Mgbe ahụ, igwe ojii kpuchiri ụlọ nzute ahụ, ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtakwara nʼime ya.
the cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
35 Mosis nʼonwe ya enweghị ike ịbanye nʼime ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼihi igwe ojii kpuchiri elu ya na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼụlọ nzute ahụ.
Neither could Moses enter the covering of the covenant: the cloud was covering all things, and the majesty of the Lord was flashing. For the cloud had covered everything.
36 Nʼime njegharị ha niile, mgbe ọbụla igwe ojii ahụ si nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ bilie, mgbe ahụ ka ụmụ Izrel na-ebuli njem.
Whenever the cloud departed from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel set out by their companies.
37 Ma ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ ebilighị, ụmụ Izrel adịghị ebulikwa njem tutuu ruo mgbe o biliri.
But if it remained hanging over it, they remained in the same place.
38 Igwe ojii Onyenwe anyị ahụ na-anọgide nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼehihie ma nʼabalị, ọkụ na-esi nʼime ya na-enwupụta. Ndị Izrel niile na-ahụkwa ya anya ụbọchị niile nke ha jegharịrị nʼọzara.
Certainly, the cloud of the Lord lay over the tabernacle by day, and the fire by night, being seen by all the people of Israel throughout all their resting places.
