1 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Guzobe ụlọ nzute ahụ nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ.
“On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
3 Dọnye igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke Ihe Ama ahụ nʼime ya. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nke ga-ezo ya.
You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
4 Webata tebul ahụ, na ngwongwo dị nʼelu ya, webatakwa ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ. Mụnyekwa oriọna ndị ahụ ọkụ.
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.
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.
You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
6 “Doo ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ ịbata nʼụlọ nzute bụ ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Dọnye efere ukwu ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Gbajukwaa ya mmiri.
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.
8 Guzobe ogige gburugburu ụlọ nzute ahụ. Konyekwa akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ogige ahụ.
You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
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.
“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.
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.
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.
11 Tekwaa efere ukwu ịsa mmiri ahụ na ụkwụ ya mmanụ. Doo ha nsọ.
You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
12 “Kpọbata Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute. Jiri mmiri saa ha ahụ nʼebe ahụ.
“You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
13 Yikwasị Erọn uwe nsọ ya. Tekwaa ya mmanụ, ido ya nsọ maka i jere m ozi dịka onye nchụaja.
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.
14 Mekwaa ka ụmụ ya ndị ikom bịaruo nso, yikwasịkwa ha uwe ime ahụ.
You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.
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 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.”
16 Mosis mezuru ihe niile dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu ime.
Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
17 O ruo, nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ, nʼafọ nke abụọ, e mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ.
In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.
18 Mosis mere ka ụlọ nzute ahụ guzo ọtọ site nʼitinye mbudo ibo ya niile, ụkwụ ya na mkpọrọ osisi ya niile nʼọnọdụ ha.
Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
19 Emesịa, ọ gbasapụrụ ihe mkpuchi nʼelu ụlọ nzute ahụ, tụkwasịkwa okpukpu ihe mkpuchi nke abụọ nʼelu ya dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu.
He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 Mosis dọnyere tebul ahụ nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọ nzute ahụ, na mpụta nke akwa mgbochi ahụ.
He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.
23 Ọ dọkwasịrị achịcha ahụ a na-edo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼelu tebul ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
24 Ọ dọkwasịrị ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nʼakụkụ tebul ahụ, nʼakụkụ ndịda nke ụlọ nzute ahụ.
He put the lamp stand 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.
He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 Mosis debere ebe ịchụ aja ọlaedo ahụ nʼime ụlọ nzute nso nso ebe akwa mgbochi ahụ dị,
He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
27 surekwaa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ya, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 Ọ kwụbara akwa mgbochi nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ.
He put up the screen of the door 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 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.
30 Ọ dọbara efere ịsa mmiri ahụ nʼetiti ụlọ nzute na ebe ịchụ aja, wụjuo ya mmiri, maka iji sachaa ihe.
He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.
31 Mosis, na Erọn, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na-eji ya akwọcha aka ha, sakwaa ụkwụ ha.
Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
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.
When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded 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.
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.
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 LORD’s glory 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 wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory 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.
When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
37 Ma ọ bụrụ na igwe ojii ahụ ebilighị, ụmụ Izrel adịghị ebulikwa njem tutuu ruo mgbe o biliri.
but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up.
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.
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.
