< Exodus 40 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall raise the tabernacle of the testimony,
“ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, te ke fokotuʻu ʻae fale tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
3 and you shall place the ark in it, and you shall release the veil before it.
Pea te ke ʻai ki ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae puha ʻae puipui.
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,
Pea te ke ʻomi ki ai ʻae palepale, pea ke ʻai ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke ʻai ki ai; pea ke ʻomi ki ai ʻae tuʻunga maama, ʻo tutu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻo ia.
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,
Pea te ke tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga koula ki he meʻa namu kakala, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻai ʻae puipui tautau ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
6 and before it, the altar of holocaust.
Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
7 The washtub shall stand between the altar and the tabernacle, and you shall fill it with water.
Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻae sene ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea ke ʻai ki ai ʻae vai.
8 And you shall encompass the atrium and its entrance with hangings.
Pea te ke fokotuʻu hono lotoʻā ʻo takatakai ia, pea tautau hake hono puipui ʻi he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā.
9 And, having taken up the oil of unction, you shall anoint the tabernacle along with its articles, so that they may be sanctified.
“Pea te ke ʻave ʻae lolo tākai, ʻo tākai ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, mo ke fakatapui ia, mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē ʻo ia: pea ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia.
10 The altar of holocaust and all its vessels,
Pea te ke tākai ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu, mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē, ʻo fakatapui ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e feilaulauʻanga fungani māʻoniʻoni.
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.
Pea te ke tākai ʻae sene mo hono tuʻunga, ʻo fakatapui ia.
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,
“Pea te ke ʻomi ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo kaukauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vai.
Pea te ke ʻai kia ʻElone ʻae ngaahi kofu māʻoniʻoni, pea tākai ia, ʻo fakatapui ia; koeʻuhi ke ne ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
Pea te ke ʻomi hono ngaahi foha, ʻo fakakofuʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi kofutuʻa.
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.”
Pea te ke tākai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tākai ʻenau tamai, koeʻuhi ke nau ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki: he ko honau tākai ia ki he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki moʻoni ʻo taʻengata ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē tuku fakaholo.”
16 And Moses did all that the Lord had instructed.
Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Mōsese: ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻene fai.
17 Therefore, in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was put in place.
Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻae fale fehikitaki.
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,
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Mōsese ʻae fale fehikitaki, ʻo ne fakamaʻu hono ngaahi tuʻunga, pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻa hono ngaahi laupapa, pea ʻai ki ai hono ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu, pea naʻe fokotuʻu hono ngaahi pou.
19 and he stretched out the roof over the tabernacle, imposing a cover above it, just as the Lord had decreed.
Pea naʻa ne folahi atu ʻae fakapulonga ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he fale fehikitaki, pea naʻe ʻai hono fakapulonga ʻe taha ki ai ʻi ʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
20 And he placed the testimony in the ark, applying the bars beneath, and the oracle above.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae fuakava ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he puha, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae ongo ʻakau haʻamo ki he puha, pea naʻe hili ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ki ʻolunga ʻi he puha.
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.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae puha ki loto ʻi he fale fehikitaki, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae puipui ʻufiʻufi, pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
22 And he placed the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, beyond the veil,
Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae palepale ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ki he potu tokelau ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻituʻa ʻi he puipui.
23 arranging before it the bread of the presence, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
Pea naʻa ne tuku lelei ʻi ai ʻae mā, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
24 And he placed the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, away from the table, on the south side,
Pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae tuʻunga maama ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo hanga tonu atu ki he palepale, ʻi he potu tonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
25 setting the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
Pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
26 He also positioned the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, opposite the veil,
Pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae feilaulauʻanga koula ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puipui:
27 and he heaped upon it the incense of aromatics, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi hono funga ʻo ia; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
28 And he positioned the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Pea naʻa ne tautau hake ʻae puipui ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
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.
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa tutu ʻo ofi ki he matapā ʻoe fale tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau meʻakai; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
30 Likewise, he stationed the washtub between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae sene ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe ai ki ʻai ʻae vai, ke kaukau ʻaki.
31 And Moses and Aaron, along with his sons, washed their hands and feet,
Pea ko Mōsese mo ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha naʻa nau fanofano honau nima, mo kaukauʻi honau vaʻe ʻi ai:
32 whenever they would enter the covering of the covenant, and when they approached to the altar, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
‌ʻI heʻenau hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, naʻa nau kaukau; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
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,
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae lotoʻā ʻo fakatakamilo ki he fale fehikitaki, mo e feilaulauʻanga, ʻo fokotuʻu hake ʻae puipui ki he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā. Pea naʻe fakaʻosi pehē ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngāue.
34 the cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
Pea hili ia naʻe ʻufiʻufi leva ʻe he ʻao ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻe fakafonu ʻe he nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale fehikitaki.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe Mōsese ke hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e meʻa ʻi he nofomaʻu ki ai ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe fakafonu ʻe he nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale fehikitaki.
36 Whenever the cloud departed from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel set out by their companies.
Pea ka toʻo hake ʻae ʻao mei heʻene fakamalumalu ʻae fale fehikitaki, naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi fononga kotoa pē:
37 But if it remained hanging over it, they remained in the same place.
Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai toʻo hake ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fononga, kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae ʻaho kuo toʻo hake ai ia.
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.
He naʻe fakamalumalu ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻe he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae afi ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi honau ngaahi fononga kotoa pē.
