Kobima 40
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
The LORD spoke to 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 you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
3 okotia kati na yango Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okozipa yango na rido.
You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
4 Okokotisa mesa mpe okotia biloko oyo esengeli kozala likolo na yango; okokotisa etelemiselo ya minda mpe okopelisa minda na yango.
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 Okotia etumbelo ya malasi, oyo basala na wolo liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okotia rido, na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
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 Okotia etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba liboso ya ekotelo ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
7 mpe okotia sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo, mpe okotia mayi kati na yango.
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.
8 Okotonga lopango zingazinga na yango mpe okotia rido na ekotelo ya lopango.
You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of 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.
“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 Okopakola mafuta na etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso; okobulisa etumbelo mpe yango ekozala bule koleka.
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.
11 Okopakola mafuta na sani mpo na komipetola mpe evandelo na yango, mpe okobulisa yango.
You shall anoint the basin and its base, 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.
“You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall 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.
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 Okomema mpe bana na ye ya mibali mpe okolatisa bango banzambala.
You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.
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.
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 Moyize asalaki nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye.
Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
17 Boye, Mongombo etelemisamaki na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso na mobu ya mibale.
In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.
18 Tango Moyize atelemisaki Mongombo, atiaki bivandelo na esika na yango, atiaki bakadre, akotisaki mabaya mpe atelemisaki makonzi;
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 atandaki ndako ya kapo na likolo ya Mongombo mpe atiaki ezipelo na likolo ya ndako ya kapo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD 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.
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 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.
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 Moyize atiaki mesa kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na ngambo ya nor ya Mongombo libanda ya rido;
He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.
23 mpe atiaki mapa na molongo, liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
24 Atiaki etelemiselo ya minda kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, etalana na mesa, na ngambo ya sude ya Mongombo.
He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
25 Apelisaki minda liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 Atiaki etumbelo ya wolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani liboso ya rido,
He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
27 mpe atumbaki likolo na yango ansa ya solo kitoko, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 Bongo atiaki rido na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
He put up the screen of 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.
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 Atiaki sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo mpe atiaki kati na yango mayi ya kosukola.
He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.
31 Moyize, Aron mpe bana mibali ya Aron basalelaki yango mpo na kosukola maboko mpe makolo na bango.
Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
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 into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD 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.
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 Lipata ezipaki Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory 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.
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 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.
When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
37 Kasi soki lipata elongwe te, bango mpe bazalaki kolongwa te, bazalaki kozela kino na mokolo oyo lipata ekolongwa.
but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it 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 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.
