Okuva 40
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye kw’olisimbira Eweema ya Mukama, Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
“In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall raise the tabernacle of the testimony,
3 Essanduuko ey’Endagaano oligiyingiza mu Weema; Essanduuko n’olyoka ogisiikiriza n’eggigi.
and you shall place the ark in it, and you shall release the veil before it.
4 Oliyingiza emmeeza, n’otegeka bulungi byonna ebigikolerwako. Oliyingiza ekikondo ky’ettaala era n’otegekako ettaala zaakwo n’ozikoleeza.
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 Era oliteeka ekyoto ekya zaabu eky’okwoterezangako obubaane mu maaso g’Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama.
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 “Ekyoto eky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa olikissa mu maaso g’omulyango ogwa Weema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
and before it, the altar of holocaust.
7 olyoke oteeke ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, mu bbensani oteekemu amazzi.
The washtub shall stand between the altar and the tabernacle, and you shall fill it with water.
8 Olikola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya.
And you shall encompass the atrium and its entrance with hangings.
9 “Oliddira amafuta ag’okwawula n’ogamansa ku Weema ya Mukama ne byonna ebigirimu, olyoke oyawule Eweema ya Mukama n’ebigirimu byonna, ebeere ntukuvu.
And, having taken up the oil of unction, you shall anoint the tabernacle along with its articles, so that they may be sanctified.
10 Olimansira amafuta ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebikozesebwako byonna, n’oyawula ekyoto, bwe kityo ekyoto kiribeera kitukuvu nnyo.
The altar of holocaust and all its vessels,
11 Era n’ebbensani oligimansirako amafuta, ne kw’etuula, n’ogyawula, n’ogitukuza.
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 “Olireeta Alooni ne batabani be ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’obanaaza n’amazzi,
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 n’oyambaza Alooni ebyambalo ebitukuvu n’omusiigako amafuta n’omwawula, alyoke ampeereze nga kabona.
14 Olireeta ne batabani be n’obambaza ekkanzu ey’obwakabona,
15 n’obasiigako amafuta, nga bwe wasiize ku kitaabwe, balyoke bampeereze nga bakabona: era okusiigibwako amafuta okwo kulibafuula bakabona ebbanga lyonna mu mirembe gyabwe.”
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 Musa bw’atyo n’akola ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
And Moses did all that the Lord had instructed.
17 Awo ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, mu mwaka ogwokubiri, Eweema ya Mukama n’esimbibwa.
Therefore, in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was put in place.
18 Musa n’asimba Eweema ya Mukama; n’ateekateeka ebya wansi mw’etuula, n’ategeka olukangaga lwayo, n’asimba empagi zaayo;
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 n’assaako ekibikka ku Weema ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
and he stretched out the roof over the tabernacle, imposing a cover above it, just as the Lord had decreed.
20 N’addira Endagaano, ey’ebipande eby’amayinja okwasalibwa Amateeka Ekkumi, n’agiteeka munda mu Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’assa emisituliro ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’assaako kungulu ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira;
And he placed the testimony in the ark, applying the bars beneath, and the oracle above.
21 n’ayingiza Essanduuko ey’Endagaano munda mu Weema ya Mukama, n’atimbawo eggigi, n’asiikiriza Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
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 N’ayingiza emmeeza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’agiteeka ku ludda olw’Obukiikakkono olwa Weema ya Mukama, wabweru w’eggigi,
And he placed the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, beyond the veil,
23 n’assaako emigaati ng’agitegese bulungi awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
arranging before it the bread of the presence, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
24 N’assa ekikondo ky’ettaala mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ku ludda olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’Eweema ya Mukama, okwolekera emmeeza,
And he placed the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, away from the table, on the south side,
25 n’ategeka ettaala awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
setting the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
26 N’ayingiza ekyoto ekya zaabu mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu mu maaso g’eggigi,
He also positioned the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, opposite the veil,
27 n’ayokerako obubaane obwa kawoowo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
and he heaped upon it the incense of aromatics, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 N’ateeka olutimbe olw’omu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama mu kifo kyalwo.
And he positioned the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony,
29 N’ateeka ekyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’aweerayo okwo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eky’obuwunga, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
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 N’atereeza ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, n’assaamu amazzi ag’okunaaba;
Likewise, he stationed the washtub between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
31 Musa ne Alooni ne batabani ba Alooni mwe baanaabiranga engalo zaabwe n’ebigere byabwe.
And Moses and Aaron, along with his sons, washed their hands and feet,
32 Buli lwe baayingiranga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne buli lwe baasembereranga ekyoto nga banaaba, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
whenever they would enter the covering of the covenant, and when they approached to the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
33 N’akola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama n’ekyoto, n’assaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya. Bw’atyo Musa omulimu n’agumaliriza.
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 Awo ekire ne kibuutikira Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, yonna n’ejjula ekitiibwa kya Mukama.
the cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
35 Musa n’atasobola kuyingira mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, kubanga ekire kyagibuutikira, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijijjula.
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 Mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna, ekire bwe kyaggyibwanga ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo abaana ba Isirayiri nga basitula nga batambula;
Whenever the cloud departed from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel set out by their companies.
37 naye ekire bwe kitaggyibwangako ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo nga tebasitula kutambula okutuusa ku lunaku lwe kyaggyibwangako.
But if it remained hanging over it, they remained in the same place.
38 Ekire kya Mukama kyabeeranga ku Weema ya Mukama emisana, ate ekiro nga mu kire ekyo mubaamu muliro, ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ebyo babiraba mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna.
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.
