Exodus 40
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa na kumwambia,
2 On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
“Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza ya mwaka lazima wewe uandae hema la kukutania.
3 And you shall put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
Utaweka sanduku la ushuhuda ndani yake, na utaziba sanduku kwa pazia.
4 And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and you shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
Utaleta ndani meza na kuandaa kwa mpangilio vitu vyake. Kisha utaleta kinara cha taa na kuandaa taa.
5 And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
Nawe utaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba mbele ya sanduku la ushuhuda, na utaweka pazia katika mwingilio wa hema la kukutania.
6 And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
Utaweka madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mbele ya mwingilio wa hema ya kukutania.
7 And you shall set the vessel that holds water between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shall put water therein.
Utaweka ile saani kubwa katikati ya hema la kukutania na madhabahu na utaweka maji ndani yake.
8 And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
Uandae nyuani inayoizunguka, na utundike pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani.
9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shall hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
Lazima uchukuwe mafuta ya upako na upake hema la kukutania na kila kitu kilichopo ndani yake. Lazima uitenge na samani zake kwangu; kisha itakuwa takatifu.
10 And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
Lazima upake mafuta madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na vyombo vyake. Lazima utenge madhabhu kwa ajili yangu na itakuwa takatifu kwangu.
11 And you shall anoint the vessel that holds water and his foot, and sanctify it.
Upake mafuta beseni la shaba na sakafu yake na uitenge kwa ajili yangu.
12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
Umlete Aruni na wanae kwa mwingilio wa hema la kukutania na uwaoshe wote kwa maji.
13 And you shall put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Utamfunika Aruni kwa mavazi yaliyo tengwa kwa ajili yangu, mpake mafuta na umtenge ili anitumikie kama kuhani.
14 And you shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
Utawaleta wana wake na kuwafunika kwa nguo nzito.
15 And you shall anoint them, as you did anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Utawapaka mafuta kama ulivyo mpaka baba yao ili wanitumikie kama makuhani. Upako wao utawafanya makuhani wa kudumu vizazi vyote vya watu wao.”
16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Hivi ndivyo Musa alivyo sema; alifuata yote Yahweh aliyo muamuru. Alifanya vitu vyote hivi.
17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
Hivyo hema la kukutania liliandaliwa siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa mwaka wa pili.
18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
Musa alianda hema la kukutania, akaeka sakafu zake sehemu yake, akaanda fremu zake, akashikisha chuma zake, na akaanda minara na nguzo zake.
19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Alitandaza mfuniko juu ya hema la kukutania na kuweka hema juu yake, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
Alichukuwa amri za agano na kuweka kwenye sanduku. Pia aliweka nguzo kwenye sanduku na kuweka mfuniko wa kiti cha rehema.
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Aliichukuwa sanduku na kuweka ndani ya hema la kukutania. Aliandaa pazia ili lizibe sanduku la ushuhuda, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
Alieka meza kwenye hema la kukutania, kwa upande wa kaskazini mwa hema la kukutania, nje ya pazia.
23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Alieka mkate kwa mpangilio katika meza ya Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo amuru.
24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Alieka kinara cha taa kwenye hema la kukutania, upande wa pili wa meza, kusini mwa hema la kukutani.
25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Aliwasha taa mbele za Yahweh, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
Aliweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya uvumba ndani ya hema la kukutania mbele ya pazia.
27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Alichoma uvumba wa manukato hapo, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
28 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
Alitundika pazia katika hema ya kukutania.
29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the food offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Aliweka madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketeza katika hema ya kukutania. Aliitolea sadaka ya kuteketeza na sadaka ya unga, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru.
30 And he set the vessel that holds water between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash likewise.
Aliweka beseni katikati ya hema ya kukutunia na madhabahu, na maji ya kuoshea.
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
Musa, Aruni, na wanae waliosha mikono yao na miguu kwenye beseni
32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
muda wowote walipoenda kwenye hema ya kukutania na muda wowote walipoenda kwenye madhabahu. Walijisafisha, kama Yahweh alivyo muamuru Musa.
33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
Musa alianda nyuani nyuma ya hema ya kukutania na madhabahu. Alianda pazia katika mwingilio wa nyuani. Katika hili, Musa alimaliza kazi.
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Kisha wingu likafunika hema ya kukutania, na utukufu wa Yahweh ukafunika hema ya kukutania.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Musa hakuweza kuingia hema ya kukutania kwasababu wingu lilikuwa juu yake, na kwasababu utukufu wa Yahweh ulijaza hema ya kukutania.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
Muda wowote wingu lilipo chukuliwa juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, watu wa Israeli waliendelea na safari yao.
37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
Lakini kama wingu haliku nyanyuka juu kutoka hema ya kukutania, kisha basi watu hawaku safiri. Walibaki hadi siku lilipo nyanyuliwa juu.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Kwa kuwa wingu la Yahweh lilikuwa juu ya hema ya kukutania mchana, na moto wake ulikuwa juu yake usiku, wazi kwa watu wote wa Israeli kipindi chote cha safari yao.
