Kutoka 40
1 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
3 Utaweka sanduku la ushuhuda ndani yake, na utaziba sanduku kwa pazia.
and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
4 Utaleta ndani meza na kuandaa kwa mpangilio vitu vyake. Kisha utaleta kinara cha taa na kuandaa taa.
and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.
5 Nawe utaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba mbele ya sanduku la ushuhuda, na utaweka pazia katika mwingilio wa hema la kukutania.
'And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
6 Utaweka madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele ya mwingilio wa hema ya kukutania.
and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
7 Utaweka ile saani kubwa katikati ya hema la kukutania na madhabahu na utaweka maji ndani yake.
and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.
8 Uandae nyuani inayoizunguka, na utundike pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani.
'And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,
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 hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been 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 hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;
11 Upake mafuta beseni la shaba na sakafu yake na uitenge kwa ajili yangu.
and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
12 Umlete Aruni na wanae kwa mwingilio wa hema la kukutania na uwaoshe wote kwa maji.
'And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;
13 Utamfunika Aruni kwa mavazi yaliyo tengwa kwa ajili yangu, mpake mafuta na umtenge ili anitumikie kama kuhani.
and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
14 Utawaleta wana wake na kuwafunika kwa nguo nzito.
'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed 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 anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'
16 Hivi ndivyo Musa alivyo sema; alifuata yote Yahweh aliyo muamuru. Alifanya vitu vyote hivi.
And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
17 Hivyo hema la kukutania liliandaliwa siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa mwaka wa pili.
And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised 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 raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,
19 Alitandaza mfuniko juu ya hema la kukutania na kuweka hema juu yake, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath 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 taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;
21 Aliichukuwa sanduku na kuweka ndani ya hema la kukutania. Aliandaa pazia ili lizibe sanduku la ushuhuda, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
22 Alieka meza kwenye hema la kukutania, kwa upande wa kaskazini mwa hema la kukutania, nje ya pazia.
And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,
23 Alieka mkate kwa mpangilio katika meza ya Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo amuru.
and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
24 Alieka kinara cha taa kwenye hema la kukutania, upande wa pili wa meza, kusini mwa hema la kukutani.
And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,
25 Aliwasha taa mbele za Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
26 Aliweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba ndani ya hema la kukutania mbele ya pazia.
And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,
27 Alichoma uvumba wa manukato hapo, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
28 Alitundika pazia katika hema ya kukutania.
And he setteth the covering of the opening to 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 the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
30 Aliweka beseni katikati ya hema ya kukutunia na madhabahu, na maji ya kuoshea.
And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,
31 Musa, Aruni, na wanae waliosha mikono yao na miguu kwenye beseni
and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
32 muda wowote walipoenda kwenye hema ya kukutania na muda wowote walipoenda kwenye madhabahu. Walijisafisha, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa.
in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath 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 raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.
34 Kisha wingu likafunika hema ya kukutania, na utukufu wa Yahweh ukafunika hema ya kukutania.
And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath 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 hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.
36 Muda wowote wingu lilipo chukuliwa juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, watu wa Israeli waliendelea na safari yao.
And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey 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.
and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going 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 Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
