Exodus 40
1 Olúwa sì wí fún Mose pé,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kìn-ín-ní ni kí ó gbé àgọ́ náà, àgọ́ àjọ náà ró.
“On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
3 Gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí sí inú rẹ̀, kí ó sì bo àpótí náà pẹ̀lú aṣọ títa.
Put inside it the sacred chest [that contains the stone slabs on which are engraved] the Ten Commandments, and hang the curtain in front of it.
4 Gbé tábìlì náà wọ ilé, kí o sì to àwọn ohun tí ó jẹ́ tirẹ̀ lé e lórí. Nígbà náà gbé ọ̀pá fìtílà wọlé, kí o sì to àwọn fìtílà rẹ̀.
Bring the table into the Sacred Tent, and place on it all the things that are to be used with it. Bring in the lampstand and fasten the lamps to it.
5 Gbé pẹpẹ wúrà ti tùràrí sí iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí, kí o sì fi aṣọ títa ẹnu-ọ̀nà sí ara àgọ́ náà.
Put the gold altar for [burning] incense in front of the sacred chest, and set up the curtain at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
6 “Gbé pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun sí iwájú ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ náà, àgọ́ àjọ;
Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
7 gbé agbada sí àárín àgọ́ àjọ àti pẹpẹ, kí o sì fi omi sí inú rẹ̀.
Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
8 Gbé àgbàlá ró yìí ka, kí ó sì fi aṣọ títa sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgbàlá náà.
Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
9 “Mú òróró ìtasórí, kí ó sì ta á sára àgọ́ náà àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀, yà pẹpẹ sí mímọ́ àti gbogbo ọ̀ṣọ́ rẹ̀, yóò sì jẹ́ mímọ́.
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.
10 Ta òróró sára pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun àti gbogbo ohun èlò rẹ̀, ya pẹpẹ náà sí mímọ́, yóò sì jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ.
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.
11 Ta òróró sára agbada náà àti ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, kí o sì yà wọ́n sí mímọ́.
Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
12 “Mú Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ wá sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ, kí o sì wẹ̀ wọ́n pẹ̀lú omi.
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
13 Nígbà náà wọ Aaroni ní aṣọ mímọ́, ta òróró sí i ní orí, kí o sì yà á sí mímọ́, nítorí kí ó lè máa sìn mi bí àlùfáà.
Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
14 Mú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kí o sì fi aṣọ àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ̀ wọ́n.
Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
15 Ta òróró sí wọn ní orí gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti ta òróró sí baba wọn ní orí, nítorí kì wọn lè máa sìn mi bí àlùfáà. Ìtasórí wọn yóò jẹ́ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà ti yóò máa lò fún gbogbo ìrandíran tó ń bọ̀.”
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 Mose ṣe ohun gbogbo gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
17 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé àgọ́ náà ró ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní ní ọdún kejì.
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 Nígbà tí Mose gbé àgọ́ náà ró ó fi ihò ìtẹ̀bọ̀ sí ààyè rẹ̀, ó to pákó rẹ̀, ó fi ọ̀pá rẹ̀ bọ̀ ọ́, ó sì gbé àwọn òpó rẹ̀ ró.
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 Ó na aṣọ àgọ́ náà sórí àgọ́, ó sì fi ìbòrí bo orí àgọ́ náà, bí Olúwa ṣe pàṣẹ fún Mose.
Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
20 Ó mu ẹ̀rí, ó sì fi sínú àpótí, ó so àwọn òpó mọ́ àpótí náà, ó sì fi àánú bo orí rẹ.
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 Ó sì gbé àpótí náà wá sínú àgọ́; ó sì sọ aṣọ títa, ó sì ta á bo àpótí ẹ̀rí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
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 Mose gbé tábìlì sínú àgọ́ àjọ sí ìhà àríwá àgọ́ náà lẹ́yìn aṣọ títa,
He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
23 ó sì to àkàrà sórí rẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
24 Ó gbé ọ̀pá fìtílà sínú àgọ́ àjọ ní òdìkejì tábìlì ní ìhà gúúsù àgọ́ náà.
He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
25 Ó sì tan àwọn fìtílà náà níwájú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
26 Mose gbé pẹpẹ wúrà sínú àgọ́ àjọ níwájú aṣọ títa
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 ó sì jó tùràrí dídùn lórí rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
28 Ó sì ta aṣọ títa sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ náà.
He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
29 Ó gbé pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà àgọ́ àjọ, ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ oúnjẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
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 Ó gbé agbada sí àárín àgọ́ àjọ àti pẹpẹ, ó sì pọn omi sínú rẹ̀ fún wíwẹ̀,
He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
31 Mose, Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ lò ó láti fi wẹ ọwọ́ àti ẹsẹ̀ wọn.
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 Wọ́n máa ń wẹ̀ nígbàkígbà tí wọ́n bá wọ àgọ́ àjọ tàbí tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ pẹpẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
33 Mose sì gbé àgbàlá tí ó yí àgọ́ náà kà ró àti pẹpẹ, ó sì ta aṣọ títa ti ẹnu-ọ̀nà sí àgbàlá náà. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Mose ṣe parí iṣẹ́ náà.
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 Nígbà náà ni àwọsánmọ̀ bo àgọ́ àjọ, ògo Olúwa bo àgọ́ náà.
Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
35 Mose kò sì lè wọ inú àgọ́ àjọ, nítorí àwọsánmọ̀ wà ní orí àgọ́, ògo Olúwa sì ti kún inú àgọ́ náà.
Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
36 Ní gbogbo ìrìnàjò àwọn ọmọ Israẹli nígbàkígbà tí a bá ti fa ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ náà sókè kúrò lórí àgọ́, wọ́n máa ń jáde lọ;
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 ṣùgbọ́n tí àwọsánmọ̀ kò bá gòkè wọn kò ní jáde títí di ọjọ́ tí ó bá gòkè.
If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
38 Nítorí náà àwọsánmọ̀ Olúwa wà lórí àgọ́ ní ọ̀sán, iná sì wà nínú àwọsánmọ̀ ní alẹ́, ní ojú gbogbo ilé Israẹli ní gbogbo ìrìnàjò wọn.
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].
