Okuva 40
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye kw’olisimbira Eweema ya Mukama, Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 Essanduuko ey’Endagaano oligiyingiza mu Weema; Essanduuko n’olyoka ogisiikiriza n’eggigi.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil.
4 Oliyingiza emmeeza, n’otegeka bulungi byonna ebigikolerwako. Oliyingiza ekikondo ky’ettaala era n’otegekako ettaala zaakwo n’ozikoleeza.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
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 thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
6 “Ekyoto eky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa olikissa mu maaso g’omulyango ogwa Weema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
7 olyoke oteeke ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, mu bbensani oteekemu amazzi.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8 Olikola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
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 thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 Olimansira amafuta ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebikozesebwako byonna, n’oyawula ekyoto, bwe kityo ekyoto kiribeera kitukuvu nnyo.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy.
11 Era n’ebbensani oligimansirako amafuta, ne kw’etuula, n’ogyawula, n’ogitukuza.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.
12 “Olireeta Alooni ne batabani be ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’obanaaza n’amazzi,
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.
13 n’oyambaza Alooni ebyambalo ebitukuvu n’omusiigako amafuta n’omwawula, alyoke ampeereze nga kabona.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
14 Olireeta ne batabani be n’obambaza ekkanzu ey’obwakabona,
And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them:
15 n’obasiigako amafuta, nga bwe wasiize ku kitaabwe, balyoke bampeereze nga bakabona: era okusiigibwako amafuta okwo kulibafuula bakabona ebbanga lyonna mu mirembe gyabwe.”
and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Musa bw’atyo n’akola ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 Awo ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, mu mwaka ogwokubiri, Eweema ya Mukama n’esimbibwa.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
18 Musa n’asimba Eweema ya Mukama; n’ateekateeka ebya wansi mw’etuula, n’ategeka olukangaga lwayo, n’asimba empagi zaayo;
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars.
19 n’assaako ekibikka ku Weema ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
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 took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark:
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 he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 N’ayingiza emmeeza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’agiteeka ku ludda olw’Obukiikakkono olwa Weema ya Mukama, wabweru w’eggigi,
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.
23 n’assaako emigaati ng’agitegese bulungi awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
24 N’assa ekikondo ky’ettaala mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ku ludda olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’Eweema ya Mukama, okwolekera emmeeza,
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 n’ategeka ettaala awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 N’ayingiza ekyoto ekya zaabu mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu mu maaso g’eggigi,
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:
27 n’ayokerako obubaane obwa kawoowo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 N’ateeka olutimbe olw’omu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama mu kifo kyalwo.
And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
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 he set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meal offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 N’atereeza ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, n’assaamu amazzi ag’okunaaba;
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, to wash withal.
31 Musa ne Alooni ne batabani ba Alooni mwe baanaabiranga engalo zaabwe n’ebigere byabwe.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat;
32 Buli lwe baayingiranga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne buli lwe baasembereranga ekyoto nga banaaba, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed: as the LORD commanded 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 reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 Awo ekire ne kibuutikira Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, yonna n’ejjula ekitiibwa kya Mukama.
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 Musa n’atasobola kuyingira mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, kubanga ekire kyagibuutikira, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijijjula.
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 Mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna, ekire bwe kyaggyibwanga ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo abaana ba Isirayiri nga basitula nga batambula;
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys:
37 naye ekire bwe kitaggyibwangako ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo nga tebasitula kutambula okutuusa ku lunaku lwe kyaggyibwangako.
but if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
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.
For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
