Exodus 40
1 The Lord told Moses,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 “Put up the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the first month of the year.
mense primo die prima mensis eriges tabernaculum testimonii
3 Place the Ark of the Testimony inside it. Make sure the Ark is behind the veil.
et pones in eo arcam dimittesque ante illam velum
4 Bring in the table and put on it what's necessary. Bring in the lampstand too, and set up its lamps.
et inlata mensa pones super eam quae rite praecepta sunt candelabrum stabit cum lucernis suis
5 Place the gold altar of incense in front of the Ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen at the entrance to the Tabernacle.
et altare aureum in quo adoletur incensum coram arca testimonii tentorium in introitu tabernaculi pones
6 Set up the altar of burnt offering opposite the entrance to the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
et ante illud altare holocausti
7 Place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
labrum inter altare et tabernaculum quod implebis aqua
8 Set up the courtyard that's around it, and put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance.
circumdabisque atrium tentoriis et ingressum eius
9 Use the anointing oil to anoint the Tabernacle and everything in it. Dedicate it and all its furniture to make it holy.
et adsumpto unctionis oleo ungues tabernaculum cum vasis suis ut sanctificentur
10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils. Dedicate the altar and it will be especially holy.
altare holocausti et omnia vasa eius
11 Anoint and dedicate the basin with its stand.
labrum cum basi sua omnia unctionis oleo consecrabis ut sint sancta sanctorum
12 Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and wash them there with water.
adplicabisque Aaron et filios eius ad fores tabernaculi testimonii et lotos aqua
13 Then you are to put on Aaron the holy clothes, anoint him, and dedicate him, so that he may serve me as a priest.
14 Have his sons come forward and dress them with tunics.
15 Anoint them in the same way as you anointed their father, so that they can also serve me as priests. Their anointing makes their line priests forever, for generations to come.”
indues sanctis vestibus ut ministrent mihi et unctio eorum in sacerdotium proficiat sempiternum
16 Moses carried out all the Lord's instructions.
fecitque Moses omnia quae praeceperat Dominus
17 The Tabernacle was put up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
igitur mense primo anni secundi in prima die mensis conlocatum est tabernaculum
18 When Moses put up the Tabernacle, he placed its stands, attached its frames, connected its crossbars, and erected its posts.
erexitque illud Moses et posuit tabulas ac bases et vectes statuitque columnas
19 Then he spread the tent over the Tabernacle and placed the covering over the tent, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
et expandit tectum super tabernaculum inposito desuper operimento sicut Dominus imperarat
20 Moses took the Testimony and put it in the Ark. He attached the poles to the Ark, and he placed the atonement cover on the top of the Ark.
posuit et testimonium in arca subditis infra vectibus et oraculum desuper
21 Then he carried the Ark into the Tabernacle. He put up the veil, and made sure the Ark of the Testimony was behind it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
cumque intulisset arcam in tabernaculum adpendit ante eam velum ut expleret Domini iussionem
22 Moses placed the table inside the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the Tabernacle, outside the veil.
posuit et mensam in tabernaculo testimonii ad plagam septentrionalem extra velum
23 He laid out the bread on it in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
ordinatis coram propositionis panibus sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi
24 He placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the Tabernacle
posuit et candelabrum in tabernaculum testimonii e regione mensae in parte australi
25 and put up the lamps in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
locatis per ordinem lucernis iuxta praeceptum Domini
26 Moses set up the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
posuit et altare aureum sub tecto testimonii contra velum
27 and he burned aromatic incense on it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
et adolevit super eo incensum aromatum sicut iusserat Dominus
28 Then he put up the screen at the entrance to the Tabernacle.
posuit et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi
29 He set up the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and presented the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
et altare holocausti in vestibulo testimonii offerens in eo holocaustum et sacrificia ut Dominus imperarat
30 He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.
labrum quoque statuit inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare implens illud aqua
31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet
laveruntque Moses et Aaron ac filii eius manus suas et pedes
32 They washed whenever they went into the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.
cum ingrederentur tectum foederis et accederent ad altare sicut praeceperat Dominus
33 Moses set up the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance. This marked the end of the work done by Moses.
erexit et atrium per gyrum tabernaculi et altaris ducto in introitu eius tentorio postquam cuncta perfecta sunt
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
operuit nubes tabernaculum testimonii et gloria Domini implevit illud
35 Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
nec poterat Moses ingredi tectum foederis nube operiente omnia et maiestate Domini coruscante quia cuncta nubes operuerat
36 Whenever the cloud rose from the Tabernacle, the Israelites would set off again on their journey.
si quando nubes tabernaculum deserebat proficiscebantur filii Israhel per turmas suas
37 If the cloud did not rise, they wouldn't set out until it did.
si pendebat desuper manebant in eodem loco
38 The cloud of the Lord stayed over the Tabernacle by day, and fire burned inside the cloud by night, so that it could be seen by every Israelite wherever they traveled.
nubes quippe Domini incubabat per diem tabernaculo et ignis in nocte videntibus populis Israhel per cunctas mansiones suas
