Kutoka 40
1 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza ya mwaka lazima wewe uandae hema la kukutania.
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 Utaweka sanduku la ushuhuda ndani yake, na utaziba sanduku kwa pazia.
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 Utaleta ndani meza na kuandaa kwa mpangilio vitu vyake. Kisha utaleta kinara cha taa na kuandaa taa.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
5 Nawe utaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba mbele ya sanduku la ushuhuda, na utaweka pazia katika mwingilio wa hema la kukutania.
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6 Utaweka madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele ya mwingilio wa hema ya kukutania.
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7 Utaweka ile saani kubwa katikati ya hema la kukutania na madhabahu na utaweka maji ndani yake.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8 Uandae nyuani inayoizunguka, na utundike pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani.
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 Lazima uchukuwe mafuta ya upako na upake hema la kukutania na kila kitu kilichopo ndani yake. Lazima uitenge na samani zake kwangu; kisha itakuwa takatifu.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 Lazima upake mafuta madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake. Lazima utenge madhabhu kwa ajili yangu na itakuwa takatifu kwangu.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 Upake mafuta beseni la shaba na sakafu yake na uitenge kwa ajili yangu.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 Umlete Aruni na wanae kwa mwingilio wa hema la kukutania na uwaoshe wote kwa maji.
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 Utamfunika Aruni kwa mavazi yaliyo tengwa kwa ajili yangu, mpake mafuta na umtenge ili anitumikie kama kuhani.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
14 Utawaleta wana wake na kuwafunika kwa nguo nzito.
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 Utawapaka mafuta kama ulivyo mpaka baba yao ili wanitumikie kama makuhani. Upako wao utawafanya makuhani wa kudumu vizazi vyote vya watu wao.”
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Hivi ndivyo Musa alivyo sema; alifuata yote Yahweh aliyo muamuru. Alifanya vitu vyote hivi.
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 Hivyo hema la kukutania liliandaliwa siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa mwaka wa pili.
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 alianda hema la kukutania, akaeka sakafu zake sehemu yake, akaanda fremu zake, akashikisha chuma zake, na akaanda minara na nguzo zake.
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
19 Alitandaza mfuniko juu ya hema la kukutania na kuweka hema juu yake, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20 Alichukuwa amri za agano na kuweka kwenye sanduku. Pia aliweka nguzo kwenye sanduku na kuweka mfuniko wa kiti cha rehema.
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 Aliichukuwa sanduku na kuweka ndani ya hema la kukutania. Aliandaa pazia ili lizibe sanduku la ushuhuda, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 Alieka meza kwenye hema la kukutania, kwa upande wa kaskazini mwa hema la kukutania, nje ya pazia.
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23 Alieka mkate kwa mpangilio katika meza ya Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo amuru.
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 Alieka kinara cha taa kwenye hema la kukutania, upande wa pili wa meza, kusini mwa hema la kukutani.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 Aliwasha taa mbele za Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 Aliweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba ndani ya hema la kukutania mbele ya pazia.
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27 Alichoma uvumba wa manukato hapo, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 Alitundika pazia katika hema ya kukutania.
And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
29 Aliweka madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketeza katika hema ya kukutania. Aliitolea sadaka ya kuteketeza na sadaka ya unga, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 Aliweka beseni katikati ya hema ya kukutunia na madhabahu, na maji ya kuoshea.
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash [withal].
31 Musa, Aruni, na wanae waliosha mikono yao na miguu kwenye beseni
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 muda wowote walipoenda kwenye hema ya kukutania na muda wowote walipoenda kwenye madhabahu. Walijisafisha, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa.
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33 Musa alianda nyuani nyuma ya hema ya kukutania na madhabahu. Alianda pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani. Katika hili, Musa alimaliza kazi.
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 Kisha wingu likafunika hema ya kukutania, na utukufu wa Yahweh ukafunika hema ya kukutania.
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 Musa hakuweza kuingia hema ya kukutania kwasababu wingu lilikuwa juu yake, na kwasababu utukufu wa Yahweh ulijaza hema ya kukutania.
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 Muda wowote wingu lilipo chukuliwa juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, watu wa Israeli waliendelea na safari yao.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 Lakini kama wingu haliku nyanyuka juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, kisha basi watu hawaku safiri. Walibaki hadi siku lilipo nyanyuliwa juu.
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 Kwa kuwa wingu la Yahweh lilikuwa juu ya hema ya kukutania mchana, na moto wake ulikuwa juu yake usiku, wazi kwa watu wote wa Israeli kipindi chote cha safari yao.
For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
