Exodus 40
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,
“Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye kw’olisimbira Eweema ya Mukama, Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
3 And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:
Essanduuko ey’Endagaano oligiyingiza mu Weema; Essanduuko n’olyoka ogisiikiriza n’eggigi.
4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps,
Oliyingiza emmeeza, n’otegeka bulungi byonna ebigikolerwako. Oliyingiza ekikondo ky’ettaala era n’otegekako ettaala zaakwo n’ozikoleeza.
5 And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,
Era oliteeka ekyoto ekya zaabu eky’okwoterezangako obubaane mu maaso g’Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama.
6 And before it the altar of holocaust:
“Ekyoto eky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa olikissa mu maaso g’omulyango ogwa Weema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu,
7 The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.
olyoke oteeke ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, mu bbensani oteekemu amazzi.
8 And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.
Olikola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama, n’ossaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya.
9 And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
“Oliddira amafuta ag’okwawula n’ogamansa ku Weema ya Mukama ne byonna ebigirimu, olyoke oyawule Eweema ya Mukama n’ebigirimu byonna, ebeere ntukuvu.
10 The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
Olimansira amafuta ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebikozesebwako byonna, n’oyawula ekyoto, bwe kityo ekyoto kiribeera kitukuvu nnyo.
11 The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.
Era n’ebbensani oligimansirako amafuta, ne kw’etuula, n’ogyawula, n’ogitukuza.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
“Olireeta Alooni ne batabani be ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’obanaaza n’amazzi,
n’oyambaza Alooni ebyambalo ebitukuvu n’omusiigako amafuta n’omwawula, alyoke ampeereze nga kabona.
Olireeta ne batabani be n’obambaza ekkanzu ey’obwakabona,
15 Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.
n’obasiigako amafuta, nga bwe wasiize ku kitaabwe, balyoke bampeereze nga bakabona: era okusiigibwako amafuta okwo kulibafuula bakabona ebbanga lyonna mu mirembe gyabwe.”
16 And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
Musa bw’atyo n’akola ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
17 So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
Awo ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, mu mwaka ogwokubiri, Eweema ya Mukama n’esimbibwa.
18 And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
Musa n’asimba Eweema ya Mukama; n’ateekateeka ebya wansi mw’etuula, n’ategeka olukangaga lwayo, n’asimba empagi zaayo;
19 And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
n’assaako ekibikka ku Weema ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
20 And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
N’addira Endagaano, ey’ebipande eby’amayinja okwasalibwa Amateeka Ekkumi, n’agiteeka munda mu Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’assa emisituliro ku Ssanduuko ey’Endagaano, n’assaako kungulu ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira;
21 And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
n’ayingiza Essanduuko ey’Endagaano munda mu Weema ya Mukama, n’atimbawo eggigi, n’asiikiriza Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
22 And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
N’ayingiza emmeeza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’agiteeka ku ludda olw’Obukiikakkono olwa Weema ya Mukama, wabweru w’eggigi,
23 Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
n’assaako emigaati ng’agitegese bulungi awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
24 He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony over against the table on the south side,
N’assa ekikondo ky’ettaala mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ku ludda olw’Obukiikaddyo obw’Eweema ya Mukama, okwolekera emmeeza,
25 Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
n’ategeka ettaala awali Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
26 He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony over against the veil,
N’ayingiza ekyoto ekya zaabu mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu mu maaso g’eggigi,
27 And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
n’ayokerako obubaane obwa kawoowo, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
28 And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,
N’ateeka olutimbe olw’omu mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama mu kifo kyalwo.
29 And the altar of holocaust of the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.
N’ateeka ekyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku mulyango gw’Eweema ya Mukama, Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, n’aweerayo okwo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eky’obuwunga, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
30 And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
N’atereeza ebbensani wakati wa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’ekyoto, n’assaamu amazzi ag’okunaaba;
31 And Moses and Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet,
Musa ne Alooni ne batabani ba Alooni mwe baanaabiranga engalo zaabwe n’ebigere byabwe.
32 When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Buli lwe baayingiranga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne buli lwe baasembereranga ekyoto nga banaaba, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
33 He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,
N’akola oluggya okwebungulula Weema ya Mukama n’ekyoto, n’assaawo olutimbe mu mulyango oguyingira mu luggya. Bw’atyo Musa omulimu n’agumaliriza.
34 The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
Awo ekire ne kibuutikira Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, yonna n’ejjula ekitiibwa kya Mukama.
35 Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.
Musa n’atasobola kuyingira mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, kubanga ekire kyagibuutikira, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijijjula.
36 If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
Mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna, ekire bwe kyaggyibwanga ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo abaana ba Isirayiri nga basitula nga batambula;
37 If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
naye ekire bwe kitaggyibwangako ku Weema ya Mukama, olwo nga tebasitula kutambula okutuusa ku lunaku lwe kyaggyibwangako.
38 For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
Ekire kya Mukama kyabeeranga ku Weema ya Mukama emisana, ate ekiro nga mu kire ekyo mubaamu muliro, ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bonna ebyo babiraba mu lugendo lwabwe lwonna.
