Kobima 40
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 — Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, okotelemisa Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani;
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 okotia kati na yango Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okozipa yango na rido.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and separate the ark with the vail.
4 Okokotisa mesa mpe okotia biloko oyo esengeli kozala likolo na yango; okokotisa etelemiselo ya minda mpe okopelisa minda na yango.
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 Okotia etumbelo ya malasi, oyo basala na wolo liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okotia rido, na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
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 Okotia etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba liboso ya ekotelo ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 mpe okotia sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo, mpe okotia mayi kati na yango.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
8 Okotonga lopango zingazinga na yango mpe okotia rido na ekotelo ya lopango.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and put up the hanging at the gate of the court.
9 Okozwa mafuta ya epakolami, okopakola Mongombo mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, mpe okobulisa yango elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso mpe yango ekozala bule.
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 Okopakola mafuta na etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso; okobulisa etumbelo mpe yango ekozala bule koleka.
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 Okopakola mafuta na sani mpo na komipetola mpe evandelo na yango, mpe okobulisa yango.
And thou shalt anoint the laver with its foot, and sanctify it.
12 Okomema Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe okosukola bango na mayi.
And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 Sima na yango, okolatisa Aron bilamba ya bule, okopakola ye mafuta mpe okobulisa ye mpo ete asalela Ngai lokola Nganga-Nzambe.
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 Okomema mpe bana na ye ya mibali mpe okolatisa bango banzambala.
And his sons shalt thou bring near, and clothe them with coats:
15 Okopakola bango mafuta ndenge opakolaki tata na bango, mpo ete basalela Ngai lokola Banganga-Nzambe: epakolami na bango ekopesa bango nzela mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe libela na libela kati na bakitani na bango.
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 Moyize asalaki nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye.
And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had commanded him, so did he.
17 Boye, Mongombo etelemisamaki na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso na mobu ya mibale.
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 Tango Moyize atelemisaki Mongombo, atiaki bivandelo na esika na yango, atiaki bakadre, akotisaki mabaya mpe atelemisaki makonzi;
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 atandaki ndako ya kapo na likolo ya Mongombo mpe atiaki ezipelo na likolo ya ndako ya kapo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
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 Moyize azwaki bitando nyonso mibale ya mabanga ya Boyokani mpe atiaki yango kati na Sanduku, akangisaki mabaya na Sanduku mpe atiaki esika ya bolimbisi masumu na likolo na yango.
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 Moyize akotisaki Sanduku kati na Mongombo mpe atiaki rido mpo na kokabola Esika ya bule mpe Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, mpo ete bato bakoka komona Sanduku ya Litatoli te, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
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 Moyize atiaki mesa kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na ngambo ya nor ya Mongombo libanda ya rido;
And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.
23 mpe atiaki mapa na molongo, liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 Atiaki etelemiselo ya minda kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, etalana na mesa, na ngambo ya sude ya Mongombo.
And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.
25 Apelisaki minda liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 Atiaki etumbelo ya wolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani liboso ya rido,
And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail.
27 mpe atumbaki likolo na yango ansa ya solo kitoko, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
And he burnt thereon the incense of spices; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 Bongo atiaki rido na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.
29 Atiaki etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba pembeni ya ekuke ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, abonzaki likolo na yango bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo ya mbuma, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
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 Atiaki sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo mpe atiaki kati na yango mayi ya kosukola.
And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.
31 Moyize, Aron mpe bana mibali ya Aron basalelaki yango mpo na kosukola maboko mpe makolo na bango.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.
32 Bazalaki komisukola tango nyonso bazalaki kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani to kopusana pembeni ya etumbelo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
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 Moyize atelemisaki lopango pembeni-pembeni ya Mongombo mpe ya etumbelo, mpe atiaki rido na ekuke ya lopango. Ezali boye nde Moyize asilisaki mosala.
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 Lipata ezipaki Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 Moyize akokaki lisusu te kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te lipata evandaki likolo na yango mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
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 Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kolongwa na likolo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotelema mpo na kokende na mobembo na bango.
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 Kasi soki lipata elongwe te, bango mpe bazalaki kolongwa te, bazalaki kozela kino na mokolo oyo lipata ekolongwa.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up.
38 Na moyi, lipata ya Yawe ezalaki na likolo ya Mongombo; bongo na butu, moto ezalaki kongala kati na lipata, mpe miso ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele ezalaki komona yango. Esalemaki bongo na mibembo na bango nyonso.
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.
