“Put up the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the first month of the year.

Place the gold altar of incense in front of the Ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen at the entrance to the Tabernacle.

Set up the altar of burnt offering opposite the entrance to the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

Place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

Set up the courtyard that's around it, and put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance.

Use the anointing oil to anoint the Tabernacle and everything in it. Dedicate it and all its furniture to make it holy.

Then you are to put on Aaron the holy clothes, anoint him, and dedicate him, so that he may serve me as a priest.
14 Mekwaa ka ụmụ ya ndị ikom bịaruo nso, yikwasịkwa ha uwe ime ahụ.

Anoint them in the same way as you anointed their father, so that they can also serve me as priests. Their anointing makes their line priests forever, for generations to come.”
16 Mosis mezuru ihe niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu ime.
Moses carried out all the Lord's instructions.
17 O ruo, nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ, nʼafọ nke abụọ, e mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ.
The Tabernacle was put up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
18 Mosis mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ site nʼitinye mbudo ibo ya niile, ụkwụ ya na mkpọrọ osisi ya niile nʼọnọdụ ha.
When Moses put up the Tabernacle, he placed its stands, attached its frames, connected its crossbars, and erected its posts.
19 Emesịa, ọ gbasapụrụ ihe mkpuchi nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ, tụkwasịkwa okpukpu ihe mkpuchi nke abụọ nʼelu ya dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu.
Then he spread the tent over the Tabernacle and placed the covering over the tent, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
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.
Moses took the Testimony and put it in the Ark. He attached the poles to the Ark, and he placed the atonement cover on the top of the Ark.
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.
Then he carried the Ark into the Tabernacle. He put up the veil, and made sure the Ark of the Testimony was behind it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
22 Mosis dọnyere tebul ahụ nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, na mpụta nke akwa mgbochi ahụ.
Moses placed the table inside the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the Tabernacle, outside the veil.
23 Ọ dọkwasịrị achịcha ahụ a na-edo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼelu tebul ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
He laid out the bread on it in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
24 Ọ dọkwasịrị ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nʼakụkụ tebul ahụ, nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọ nzute ahụ.
He placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the Tabernacle
25 Ọ mụnyere oriọna ndị ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye nʼiwu.
and put up the lamps in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
26 Mosis debere ebe ịchụ aja ọlaedo ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nso nso ebe akwa mgbochi ahụ dị,
Moses set up the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
27 surekwaa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ya, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
and he burned aromatic incense on it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
28 Ọ kwụbara akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
Then he put up the screen at the entrance to the Tabernacle.
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.
He set up the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and presented the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
30 Ọ dọbara efere ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja, wụjuo ya mmiri, maka iji sachaa ihe.
He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.
31 Mosis, na Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na-eji ya akwọcha aka ha, sakwaa ụkwụ ha.
Moses, Aaron, and his sons used it to wash 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.
They washed whenever they went into the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.
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.
Moses set up the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance. This marked the end of the work done by Moses.
34 Mgbe ahụ, igwe ojii kpuchiri ụlọ nzute ahụ, ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtakwara nʼime ya.
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
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.
Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
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 rose from the Tabernacle, the Israelites would set off again on their journey.
37 Ma ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ ebilighị, ụmụ Izrel adịghị ebulikwa njem tutuu ruo mgbe o biliri.
If the cloud did not rise, they wouldn't set out until it did.
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.
The cloud of the Lord stayed over the Tabernacle by day, and fire burned inside the cloud by night, so that it could be seen by every Israelite wherever they traveled.
