Then take the oil for anointing, and anoint the Sacred Tent and everything that is in it, to (set it apart/dedicate it) to me. Then it will be holy/sacred.

Also anoint the altar for offering sacrifices that will be completely burned, and all the things that will be used with it, and set it apart. Then it also will be holy/sacred.

15 Akka isaan lubummaadhaan na tajaajilaniifis akkuma abbaa isaanii dibde sanatti isaan dibi; dibamuun isaanii kunis dhaloota dhufu hunda keessatti lubummaa itti fufu taʼa.”
and anoint them just as you anointed their father, in order that they also may serve me by working as priests. By anointing them [and their descendants], you will cause them and their descendants to be priests throughout all coming generations.”
16 Museenis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti waan hunda hojjete.
Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
17 Kanaafuu dunkaanni qulqulluun sun waggaa lamaffaa keessa guyyaa jalqabaa kan jiʼa jalqabaatti dhaabame.
On the first day of the first month of the next year (OR, second year [after they/we left Egypt]), the people set up the Sacred Tent.
18 Museen yeroo dunkaana qulqulluu sana dhaabetti miillawwan dunkaanichaa itti kaaʼe; tuggeewwan isaa dhadhaabe; dagaleewwan isaa loose; utuboota isaa dhadhaabe.
Following Moses’/my instructions, they set up the Sacred Tent and its bases, set up the frames, attached the crossbars, and put up the posts [for the curtains].
19 Innis akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti dunkaana qulqulluu irraan dunkaana diriirsee dunkaana sanatti immoo irra buusa uffise.
Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
20 Dhuga baʼumsa sana fuudhee taabota keessa kaaʼe; danqaraawwanis taabotatti hidhe; teessoo araaraa immoo taabota gubbaa kaaʼe.
Then he/I took the two stone slabs [on which the commandments were written] and put them in the sacred chest. He/I put the carrying poles [in the rings] on the chest and put the lid on top of the chest.
21 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti taabota sana dunkaana qulqulluutti ol galchee golgaa daʼeessu fanniseef; taabota kakuu seeraa sanas daʼeesse.
Then he/I took the chest into [the Very Holy Place inside] the Sacred Tent and hung the curtain. In that way, he/I prevented the people who were outside from seeing the chest. He/I did all this exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
22 Museenis minjaala sana gama kaaba dunkaana qulqulluutiin dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa golgaa sanaan ala kaaʼe.
He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.

24 Baattuu ibsaa immoo gama kibbaa dunkaana qulqulluutiin dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuullee minjaalaatiin kaaʼe.
He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
25 Akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajettis ibsaawwan sana fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhadhaabe.
Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
26 Museenis iddoo aarsaa kan warqee irraa hojjetame sana fuula golgaa duraan dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa dhaabe.
He/I set the golden altar for burning incense inside the Sacred Tent, in front of the curtain [that separated the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place],
27 Akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajettis ixaana urgaaʼaa isa irratti aarse.
and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
28 Balbala dunkaana qulqulluu irrattis golgaa fannise.
He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
29 Inni akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti iddoo aarsaa qalma gubamuu sana balbala dunkaana qulqulluu kan dunkaana wal gaʼii bira dhaabee qalma gubamuu fi kennaa midhaanii isa irratti dhiʼeesse.
At the entrance to the Sacred Tent, he/I set the altar for offering sacrifices that were to be burned completely. Then he/I offered on it the meat that was to be burned completely and the grain offering, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
30 Gabatee sanas dunkaana wal gaʼiitii fi iddoo aarsaa gidduu kaaʼee bishaan dhiqataa itti naqe;
He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
31 Museen, Aroonii fi ilmaan Arooniis harka isaaniitii fi miilla isaanii dhiqachuuf itti fayyadamu turan.
Every time Moses/I and Aaron and his sons went into the Sacred Tent or went to the altar, they/we washed their/our hands and feet [ritually], exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
32 Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajajetti yeroo dunkaana wal gaʼii seenan yookaan yeroo iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼaatan hunda ni dhiqatu turan.
33 Museenis naannoo dunkaana qulqulluutii fi iddoo aarsaatti oobdii hojjetee balbala waltajjichaa irra golgaa dhaabe; akkasiin Museen hojii sana hojjetee fixe.
Following Moses’/my instructions, they hung the curtains that surrounded the courtyard and the altar, and they hung the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses/I finished that work.
34 Ergasiis duumessi dunkaana wal gaʼii haguuge; ulfinni Waaqayyoos dunkaana qulqulluu sana guute.
Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
35 Museenis sababii duumessi sun dunkaana wal gaʼii irra buʼee fi sababii ulfinni Waaqayyoo dunkaana qulqulluu guuteef dunkaana wal gaʼii seenuu hin dandeenye.
Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
36 Israaʼeloonni karaa isaanii hunda keessatti yommuu duumessi dunkaana qulqulluu irraa kaʼu hunda kaʼanii deemsa isaanii itti fufu turan.
From that day, whenever the Israeli people wanted to move to another place, they went only when the bright cloud rose from above the Sacred Tent.
37 Yoo duumessi irraa kaʼuu baate garuu hamma gaafa duumessi sun irraa kaʼuutti hin deeman ture.
If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
38 Kanaafuu karaa isaanii hunda keessatti fuula saba Israaʼel hundaa duratti guyyaa guyyaa duumessi Waaqayyoo dunkaana qulqulluu irra ture; halkan halkan immoo ibiddi duumessa sana keessa ture.
Wherever they traveled, the bright cloud that [indicated] Yahweh’s [presence] was above the Sacred Tent during the day, and a [bright] fire was inside the cloud at night, with the result that all the Israeli people [MTY] could see it [at any time].
