Eksodo 40
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Imika chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, tsiku loyamba la mwezi.
On the first day of the first month thou shall raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 Uyikemo bokosi la umboni ndipo uphimbe bokosilo ndi katani.
And thou shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and thou shall screen the ark with the veil.
4 Ulowetsemo tebulo ndi kuyika zimene zimakhala pamenepo. Kenaka ulowetse choyikapo nyale ndipo uyikepo nyale zake.
And thou shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it, and thou shall bring in the lampstand, and light the lamps of it.
5 Uyike guwa lofukiza la golide patsogolo pa bokosi la umboni ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And thou shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
6 “Uyike guwa lansembe yopsereza patsogolo pa chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano.
And thou shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
7 Uyike beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo uyikemo madzi.
And thou shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.
8 Upange bwalo lozungulira chihemacho ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha bwalolo.
And thou shall set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
9 “Utenge mafuta wodzozera ndipo udzoze chihema ndi chilichonse chili mʼmenemo ndipo zidzakhala zoyeretsedwa.
And thou shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all the furniture of it. And it shall be holy.
10 Kenaka udzoze guwa lansembe lopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Ulipatule guwalo ndipo lidzakhala loyera kwambiri.
And thou shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar. And the altar shall be most holy.
11 Udzoze beseni ndi miyendo yake ndipo uzipatule.
And thou shall anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.
12 “Ubwere ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano ndipo uwasambitse ndi madzi.
And thou shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.
13 Kenaka umuveke Aaroni zovala zopatulika, umudzoze ndi kumupatula kotero kuti athe kunditumikira monga wansembe.
And thou shall put upon Aaron the holy garments, and thou shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.
14 Ubweretse ana ake ndipo uwaveke minjiro.
And thou shall bring his sons, and put tunics upon them,
15 Uwadzoze monga momwe unadzozera abambo awo, kotero kuti anditumikire monga ansembe. Kudzozedwako kudzakhala unsembe wawo pa mibado ndi mibado”
and thou shall anoint them, as thou anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. And their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 Mose anachita zonse monga Yehova anamulamulira.
Thus did Moses. According to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.
17 Kotero anayimika chihema tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba mʼchaka chachiwiri.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.
18 Nthawi imene Mose anayimika chihema, anayika matsinde mʼmalo ake, kuyimitsa maferemu, kulowetsa mitanda ndi kuyika nsichi.
And Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and raised up its pillars.
19 Kenaka anayika tenti pamwamba pa chihema ndipo anayika chophimba pa tenti monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
20 Iye anatenga miyala ya umboni nayika mʼbokosi lija ndi kuyika chivundikiro pamwamba pake.
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 Kenaka analowetsa bokosilo mʼchihema ndipo anapachika katani ndi kubisa bokosi la umboni monga momwe Yehova analamulira iye.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
22 Mose anayika tebulo mu tenti ya msonkhano kumpoto kwa chihema, kunja kwa katani,
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
23 ndipo anayikapo buledi pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
24 Iye anayikanso choyikapo nyale mu tenti ya msonkhano moyangʼanana ndi tebulo mbali yakummwera kwa chihema.
And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 Ndipo anayikapo nyale zija pamaso pa Yehova, monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
And he lit the lamps before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
26 Mose anayika guwa la golide mu tenti ya msonkhano patsogolo pa katani
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
27 ndipo anapserezapo lubani wonunkhira monga Yehova anamulamulira.
and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
28 Kenaka anayika katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
29 Iye anayika guwa lansembe yopsereza pafupi ndi chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo anapereka nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe ya ufa monga Yehova anamulamulira.
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 Jehovah commanded Moses.
30 Iye anayika beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anathiramo madzi wosamba,
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it, with which to wash.
31 ndipo Mose, Aaroni ndi ana ake amasamba manja ndi mapazi awo.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
32 Iwo amasamba nthawi zonse akamalowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kapena kuyandikira guwa lansembe monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
They washed when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near to the altar, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
33 Kenaka Mose anamanga bwalo kuzungulira chihema ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anayika katani ya pa chipata cha bwalo. Kotero Mose anamaliza ntchito.
And he raised 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 Kenaka mtambo unaphimba tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
35 Mose sanathe kulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano chifukwa mtambo unali utakhazikika pa chihemacho, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereupon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
36 Pa maulendo awo onse, mtambo ukachoka pamwamba pa chihema, Aisraeli ankasamukanso pamene analipo.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys,
37 Koma ngati mtambo sunachoke, iwo sankasamukanso mpaka tsiku limene udzachoke.
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
38 Kotero mtambo wa Yehova unkakhala pamwamba pa chihema usana, ndi mtambo wamoto umakhala usiku, pamaso pa nyumba yonse ya Israeli pa masiku onse aulendo wawo.
For the cloud of Jehovah 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.
