Exodus 40
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall raise the tabernacle of the testimony,
— Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, okotelemisa Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani;
3 and you shall place the ark in it, and you shall release the veil before it.
okotia kati na yango Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okozipa yango na rido.
4 And having brought in the table, you shall place the things which were solemnly commanded upon it. The lampstand shall stand with its lamps,
Okokotisa mesa mpe okotia biloko oyo esengeli kozala likolo na yango; okokotisa etelemiselo ya minda mpe okopelisa minda na yango.
5 and the altar of gold, in which the incense is burned, shall stand before the ark of the testimony. You shall place the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,
Okotia etumbelo ya malasi, oyo basala na wolo liboso ya Sanduku ya Litatoli mpe okotia rido, na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
6 and before it, the altar of holocaust.
Okotia etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba liboso ya ekotelo ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani,
7 The washtub shall stand between the altar and the tabernacle, and you shall fill it with water.
mpe okotia sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo, mpe okotia mayi kati na yango.
8 And you shall encompass the atrium and its entrance with hangings.
Okotonga lopango zingazinga na yango mpe okotia rido na ekotelo ya lopango.
9 And, having taken up the oil of unction, you shall anoint the tabernacle along with its articles, so that they may be sanctified.
Okozwa mafuta ya epakolami, okopakola Mongombo mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, mpe okobulisa yango elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso mpe yango ekozala bule.
10 The altar of holocaust and all its vessels,
Okopakola mafuta na etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso; okobulisa etumbelo mpe yango ekozala bule koleka.
11 the washtub with its base, and all things, you shall consecrate with the oil of unction, so that they may be the Holy of holies.
Okopakola mafuta na sani mpo na komipetola mpe evandelo na yango, mpe okobulisa yango.
12 And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and, having washed them with water,
Okomema Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali na ekotelo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe okosukola bango na mayi.
Sima na yango, okolatisa Aron bilamba ya bule, okopakola ye mafuta mpe okobulisa ye mpo ete asalela Ngai lokola Nganga-Nzambe.
Okomema mpe bana na ye ya mibali mpe okolatisa bango banzambala.
15 you shall clothe them in the holy vestments, so that they may minister to me, and so that their unction may accomplish an everlasting priesthood.”
Okopakola bango mafuta ndenge opakolaki tata na bango, mpo ete basalela Ngai lokola Banganga-Nzambe: epakolami na bango ekopesa bango nzela mpo na kosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe libela na libela kati na bakitani na bango.
16 And Moses did all that the Lord had instructed.
Moyize asalaki nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki ye.
17 Therefore, in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was put in place.
Boye, Mongombo etelemisamaki na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso na mobu ya mibale.
18 And Moses raised it up, and he positioned the panels as well as the bases and the bars, and he set up the columns,
Tango Moyize atelemisaki Mongombo, atiaki bivandelo na esika na yango, atiaki bakadre, akotisaki mabaya mpe atelemisaki makonzi;
19 and he stretched out the roof over the tabernacle, imposing a cover above it, just as the Lord had decreed.
atandaki ndako ya kapo na likolo ya Mongombo mpe atiaki ezipelo na likolo ya ndako ya kapo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
20 And he placed the testimony in the ark, applying the bars beneath, and the oracle above.
Moyize azwaki bitando nyonso mibale ya mabanga ya Boyokani mpe atiaki yango kati na Sanduku, akangisaki mabaya na Sanduku mpe atiaki esika ya bolimbisi masumu na likolo na yango.
21 And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it, in order to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
Moyize akotisaki Sanduku kati na Mongombo mpe atiaki rido mpo na kokabola Esika ya bule mpe Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, mpo ete bato bakoka komona Sanduku ya Litatoli te, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
22 And he placed the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, beyond the veil,
Moyize atiaki mesa kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani na ngambo ya nor ya Mongombo libanda ya rido;
23 arranging before it the bread of the presence, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
mpe atiaki mapa na molongo, liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
24 And he placed the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, away from the table, on the south side,
Atiaki etelemiselo ya minda kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, etalana na mesa, na ngambo ya sude ya Mongombo.
25 setting the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
Apelisaki minda liboso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
26 He also positioned the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, opposite the veil,
Atiaki etumbelo ya wolo kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani liboso ya rido,
27 and he heaped upon it the incense of aromatics, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
mpe atumbaki likolo na yango ansa ya solo kitoko, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
28 And he positioned the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Bongo atiaki rido na ekotelo ya Mongombo.
29 and the altar of holocaust in the vestibule of the testimony, offering the holocaust and the sacrifices upon it, just as the Lord had decreed.
Atiaki etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba pembeni ya ekuke ya Mongombo, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, abonzaki likolo na yango bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo ya mbuma, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
30 Likewise, he stationed the washtub between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
Atiaki sani mpo na komipetola na kati-kati ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe etumbelo mpe atiaki kati na yango mayi ya kosukola.
31 And Moses and Aaron, along with his sons, washed their hands and feet,
Moyize, Aron mpe bana mibali ya Aron basalelaki yango mpo na kosukola maboko mpe makolo na bango.
32 whenever they would enter the covering of the covenant, and when they approached to the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
Bazalaki komisukola tango nyonso bazalaki kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani to kopusana pembeni ya etumbelo, ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye Moyize.
33 And he raised up the atrium around the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging at its entrance. After all these things were perfected,
Moyize atelemisaki lopango pembeni-pembeni ya Mongombo mpe ya etumbelo, mpe atiaki rido na ekuke ya lopango. Ezali boye nde Moyize asilisaki mosala.
34 the cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
Lipata ezipaki Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
35 Neither could Moses enter the covering of the covenant: the cloud was covering all things, and the majesty of the Lord was flashing. For the cloud had covered everything.
Moyize akokaki lisusu te kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, pamba te lipata evandaki likolo na yango mpe nkembo na Yawe etondaki kati na Mongombo.
36 Whenever the cloud departed from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel set out by their companies.
Tango nyonso lipata ezalaki kolongwa na likolo ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kotelema mpo na kokende na mobembo na bango.
37 But if it remained hanging over it, they remained in the same place.
Kasi soki lipata elongwe te, bango mpe bazalaki kolongwa te, bazalaki kozela kino na mokolo oyo lipata ekolongwa.
38 Certainly, the cloud of the Lord lay over the tabernacle by day, and the fire by night, being seen by all the people of Israel throughout all their resting places.
Na moyi, lipata ya Yawe ezalaki na likolo ya Mongombo; bongo na butu, moto ezalaki kongala kati na lipata, mpe miso ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele ezalaki komona yango. Esalemaki bongo na mibembo na bango nyonso.
