Exodus 40
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 “On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
Hla lamhmacuek kah hlasae lamhmacuek khohnin ah tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim te thoh.
3 Put inside it the sacred chest [that contains the stone slabs on which are engraved] the Ten Commandments, and hang the curtain in front of it.
Te vaengah olphong thingkawng te pahoi khueh lamtah thingkawng soah hniyan neh khuk thil.
4 Bring the table into the Sacred Tent, and place on it all the things that are to be used with it. Bring in the lampstand and fasten the lamps to it.
Caboei te khaw khuen lamtah a phu te tael pah. Hmaitung te khuen bal lamtah a hmaithoi te tok pah.
5 Put the gold altar for [burning] incense in front of the sacred chest, and set up the curtain at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Olphong thingkawng hmai ah bo-ul ham sui hmueihtuk te hol lamtah dungtlungim ham thohka kah himbaiyan te yan pah.
6 Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
Te phoeiah hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk te tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim thohka hmai ah hol.
7 Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
Baeldung te tingtunnah dap laklo neh hmueihtuk laklo ah hol lamtah tui pahoi loei pah.
8 Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
Vongtung te pin thoh lamtah vongtung vongka kah himbaiyan te yan pah vetih, akhui la kun nah thohka ah himbai te yanuh.
9 Then take the oil for anointing, and anoint the Sacred Tent and everything that is in it, to (set it apart/dedicate it) to me. Then it will be holy/sacred.
Koelhnah situi te lo lamtah dungtlungim neh a khuikah a cungkuem te koelh. Te neh a hnopai cungkuem te na ciim daengah ni a cim la a om eh.
10 Also anoint the altar for offering sacrifices that will be completely burned, and all the things that will be used with it, and set it apart. Then it also will be holy/sacred.
Te phoeiah hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk neh a hnopai boeih te koelh. Hmueihtuk te ciim lamtah hmueihtuk te a cim a cim koek la om saeh.
11 Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
Baeldung neh a kho te khaw koelh lamtah ciim.
12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
Te phoeiah Aaron neh anih koca rhoek te tingtunnah dap thohka la khuen lamtah amih te tui hluk.
13 Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
Aaron te a cim himbai bai sak lamtah koelh. Anih te ciim lamtah kamah taengah khosoih saeh.
14 Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
A ca rhoek te khaw khuen lamtah amih te angkidung puei sak.
15 and anoint them just as you anointed their father, in order that they also may serve me by working as priests. By anointing them [and their descendants], you will cause them and their descendants to be priests throughout all coming generations.”
A napa na koelh bangla amih te koelh lamtah kamah taengah khosoih saeh. Khosoihbi he a cadilcahma ham kumhal due amih koelhnah la om rhoe om saeh,” a ti nah.
16 Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
BOEIPA loh anih saii sak ham a uen boeih te Moses loh a saii.
17 On the first day of the first month of the next year (OR, second year [after they/we left Egypt]), the people set up the Sacred Tent.
Te dongah a kum bae dongkah lamhma cuek hla a pha neh hlasae dongkah lamhma cuek hnin ah dungtlungim te a pai sak.
18 Following Moses’/my instructions, they set up the Sacred Tent and its bases, set up the frames, attached the crossbars, and put up the posts [for the curtains].
Moses loh dungtlungim te a thoh vaengah a buenhol a buen tih a longlaeng te a paek. A thohkalh te a rholh tih a tung te khaw a ling.
19 Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Dungtlungim sokah dap te a dih tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla dap imphu te a so, so lamloh a khueh.
20 Then he/I took the two stone slabs [on which the commandments were written] and put them in the sacred chest. He/I put the carrying poles [in the rings] on the chest and put the lid on top of the chest.
Te phoeiah olphong te a khuen tih thingkawng khuiah a khueh. Thingpang te thingkawng dongah a rholh phoeiah tah a tlaeng te thingkawng soah a so lamloh a tloeng.
21 Then he/I took the chest into [the Very Holy Place inside] the Sacred Tent and hung the curtain. In that way, he/I prevented the people who were outside from seeing the chest. He/I did all this exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Te phoeiah thingkawng te dungtlungim khuila a khuen tih himbaiyan dongkah hniyan te a yan thil. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla olphong thingkawng te a khuk.
22 He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
Caboei te tah tingtunnah dap khuikah dungtlungim kaep, tlangpuei hniyan kah kawtpoeng ah a khueh.
23 He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
A soah BOEIPA hmai kah buh te, BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla buelh a tawn.
24 He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
Hmaitung te tah tingtunnah dap khuikah caboei dan, dungtlungim kaep kah tuithim ah a khueh.
25 Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
Hmaithoi te BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a tok.
26 He/I set the golden altar for burning incense inside the Sacred Tent, in front of the curtain [that separated the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place],
Sui hmueihtuk te tingtunnah dap khuikah hniyan hmai ah a khueh.
27 and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
A soah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla botui bo-ul khaw a phum.
28 He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Te phoeiah dungtlungim thohka kah himbaiyan te a bang.
29 At the entrance to the Sacred Tent, he/I set the altar for offering sacrifices that were to be burned completely. Then he/I offered on it the meat that was to be burned completely and the grain offering, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
Hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk te tingtunnah dap kah dungtlungim thohka ah a khueh tih te soah te hmueihhlutnah neh khocang khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla a nawn.
30 He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
Baeldung te tingtunnah dap laklo neh hmueihtuk laklo ah a hol tih hluk ham tui khaw pahoi a khueh.
31 Every time Moses/I and Aaron and his sons went into the Sacred Tent or went to the altar, they/we washed their/our hands and feet [ritually], exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Te nen te Moses neh Aaron neh anih koca rhoek loh a kut a kho a silh uh.
Tingtunnah dap khuila a kun ham vaengah khaw, hmueihtuk la a caeh uh vaengah khaw BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla a silh uh.
33 Following Moses’/my instructions, they hung the curtains that surrounded the courtyard and the altar, and they hung the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses/I finished that work.
Dungtlungim ham neh hmueihtuk ham vongtung pin a tung tih vongup vongka kah himbaiyan a yan daengah Moses loh bitat a coeng.
34 Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
Te vaengah tingtunnah dap te cingmai loh a thing tih BOEIPA thangpomnah loh dungtlungim ah bae.
35 Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
A soah cingmai yaal tih BOEIPA kah thangpomnah loh dungtlungim ah a bae dongah Moses loh tingtunnah dap khuila kun ham coeng pah pawh.
36 From that day, whenever the Israeli people wanted to move to another place, they went only when the bright cloud rose from above the Sacred Tent.
A longpueng khing ah dungtlungim dong lamloh cingmai a caeh van vaengah ni Israel ca rhoek khaw a caeh uh.
37 If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
Tedae cingmai a caeh pawt atah a caeh hnin duela cet uh van pawh.
38 Wherever they traveled, the bright cloud that [indicated] Yahweh’s [presence] was above the Sacred Tent during the day, and a [bright] fire was inside the cloud at night, with the result that all the Israeli people [MTY] could see it [at any time].
A longpueng khing Israel imkhui pum kah mikhmuh ah tah khothaih ah dungtlungim sokah BOEIPA cingmai neh khoyin ah hmai a om pah.
