Eksodo 40
1 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
2 “Imika chihema, tenti ya msonkhano, tsiku loyamba la mwezi.
On the first day of the month, in the first month, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;
3 Uyikemo bokosi la umboni ndipo uphimbe bokosilo ndi katani.
and thou shalt put therein, the ark of the testimony, —and shalt screen the ark with the veil;
4 Ulowetsemo tebulo ndi kuyika zimene zimakhala pamenepo. Kenaka ulowetse choyikapo nyale ndipo uyikepo nyale zake.
and thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order what is to be arranged thereupon, —and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and mount the lamps thereof;
5 Uyike guwa lofukiza la golide patsogolo pa bokosi la umboni ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
and thou shalt place the altar of gold for incense, before the ark of the testimony, —and put up the screen for the opening of the habitation;
6 “Uyike guwa lansembe yopsereza patsogolo pa chipata cha chihema, tenti ya msonkhano.
and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;
7 Uyike beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo uyikemo madzi.
and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
8 Upange bwalo lozungulira chihemacho ndipo uyike katani ya pa chipata cha bwalolo.
And thou shalt put 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 shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, —and shalt hallow it. and all the furniture thereof so shall it be holy.
10 Kenaka udzoze guwa lansembe lopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Ulipatule guwalo ndipo lidzakhala loyera kwambiri.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of ascending sacrifice, and all its utensils, —and hallow the altar, so shall the altar be most holy:
11 Udzoze beseni ndi miyendo yake ndipo uzipatule.
and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.
12 “Ubwere ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano ndipo uwasambitse ndi madzi.
And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, —and shalt bathe them in the water;
13 Kenaka umuveke Aaroni zovala zopatulika, umudzoze ndi kumupatula kotero kuti athe kunditumikira monga wansembe.
and thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, —and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.
14 Ubweretse ana ake ndipo uwaveke minjiro.
His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;
15 Uwadzoze monga momwe unadzozera abambo awo, kotero kuti anditumikire monga ansembe. Kudzozedwako kudzakhala unsembe wawo pa mibado ndi mibado”
and shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister as priests unto me, —so shall their anointing remain to them for an age-abiding priesthood, to their generations.
16 Mose anachita zonse monga Yehova anamulamulira.
And Moses did, —according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so did he.
17 Kotero anayimika chihema tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba mʼchaka chachiwiri.
Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.
18 Nthawi imene Mose anayimika chihema, anayika matsinde mʼmalo ake, kuyimitsa maferemu, kulowetsa mitanda ndi kuyika nsichi.
Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, —and reared its pillars.
19 Kenaka anayika tenti pamwamba pa chihema ndipo anayika chophimba pa tenti monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
Then spread he abroad the tent upon the habitation, and put the covering of the tent upon it, above, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
20 Iye anatenga miyala ya umboni nayika mʼbokosi lija ndi kuyika chivundikiro pamwamba pake.
And he took and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, —and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above;
21 Kenaka analowetsa bokosilo mʼchihema ndipo anapachika katani ndi kubisa bokosi la umboni monga momwe Yehova analamulira iye.
and brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
22 Mose anayika tebulo mu tenti ya msonkhano kumpoto kwa chihema, kunja kwa katani,
And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;
23 ndipo anayikapo buledi pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh 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, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;
25 Ndipo anayikapo nyale zija pamaso pa Yehova, monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
26 Mose anayika guwa la golide mu tenti ya msonkhano patsogolo pa katani
And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;
27 ndipo anapserezapo lubani wonunkhira monga Yehova anamulamulira.
and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
28 Kenaka anayika katani ya pa chipata cha chihema.
And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
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, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, —and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
30 Iye anayika beseni pakati pa tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe ndipo anathiramo madzi wosamba,
And he put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, —and put therein water for bathing;
31 ndipo Mose, Aaroni ndi ana ake amasamba manja ndi mapazi awo.
and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;
32 Iwo amasamba nthawi zonse akamalowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kapena kuyandikira guwa lansembe monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, —As Yahweh 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 reared the court round about to the habitation and to the altar, and put up the screen of the gate of the court, —and Moses finished the work.
34 Kenaka mtambo unaphimba tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼchihemacho.
Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;
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 had made its habitation thereupon, —and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.
36 Pa maulendo awo onse, mtambo ukachoka pamwamba pa chihema, Aisraeli ankasamukanso pamene analipo.
And whensoever the cloud ascended from off the habitation, then did the sons of Israel set forward, in all their journeyings;
37 Koma ngati mtambo sunachoke, iwo sankasamukanso mpaka tsiku limene udzachoke.
but if the cloud did not ascend, then did they not set forward—until the day when it did ascend.
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 Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, —in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
