Exodo 40
1 Kalpasanna, nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 “Iti umuna nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan ti baro a tawen, masapul nga ibangonmo ti tabernakulo, ti sagrado a tolda.
“On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
3 Masapul nga ikabilmo ti lakasa ti tulag iti daytoy, ken masapul a lingedam ti lakasa iti kurtina.
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.
4 Masapul nga ipanmo ti lamisaan ken iyurnosmo dagiti banag a karaman iti daytoy. Ken masapul nga iyunegmo ti kandelero ket iyurnosmo dagiti pagsilawanna.
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.
5 Masapul nga ikabilmo ti balitok nga altar ti insenso iti sango ti lakasa ti tulag, ken masapul nga ibitinmo ti kurtina iti pagserkan ti tabernakulo.
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.
6 Masapul nga ikabilmo ti altar para kadagiti daton a mapuoran idiay sangoanan iti pagserkan ti tabernakulo, ti sagrado a tolda.
Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
7 Masapul nga ikabilmo ti dakkel a palanggana iti nagbaetan ti sagrado a tolda ken ti altar, ken masapul a kargaam iti danum daytoy.
Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
8 Masapul nga isimpam ti paraangan iti aglawlawna daytoy, ken masapul nga ibitinmo ti kurtina iti pagserkan ti paraangan.
Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
9 Masapul nga alaem ti lana a pangpulot ket konsagraram ti tabernakulo ken amin a banag nga adda iti daytoy. Masapul nga idatonmo daytoy ken dagiti amin nga alikamenna kaniak, ket agbalinto a nasantoan daytoy.
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.
10 Masapul konsagraram ti altar para kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken amin dagiti alikamenna. Masapul nga idatonmo ti altar kaniak, ket naan-anayto ti pannakaidatonna kaniak.
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.
11 Masapul a konsagraram ti bronse a palanggana ken ti batayna ken idatonmo dagitoy kaniak.
Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
12 Masapul nga ipanmonto ni Aaron ken dagiti annakna a lallaki iti pagserkan ti sagrado a tolda, ken masapul a buggoam ida iti danum.
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
13 Masapul a kawesam ni Aaron kadagiti pagan-anay a naidaton kaniak, pulotam ken idatonmo isuna kaniak tapno agserbi isuna a kas padik.
Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
14 Masapul nga ipanmonto dagiti annakna a lallaki ket kawesam ida kadagiti kagay.
Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
15 Masapul a pulotam ida kas iti panangpulotmo iti amada tapno makapagserbida kaniak a kas papadi. Ti pannakapulotda ket isu ti mamagbalin kadakuada iti agnanayon a kinapadida iti amin a kaputotan dagiti tattaoda.”
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.”
16 Daytoy ti inaramid ni Moises; tinungpalna amin nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana. Inaramidna amin dagitoy a banbanag.
Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
17 Isu a naibangon ti tabernakulo iti umuna nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan iti maikadua a tawen.
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.
18 Imbangon ni Moises ti tabernakulo, inkabilna dagiti batay iti pagsaadanna, insimpana dagiti bastidorna ken inkapetna dagiti balunet ken impatakderna dagiti postena.
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].
19 Inyukradna ti abbong iti rabaw ti tabernakulo ken inkabilna ti kasla tolda a pannakakalob ti rabaw daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yaweh kenkuana.
Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
20 Innalana ti sangapulo a bilin ket inkabilna dagitoy iti Lakasa. Inkabilna pay dagiti assiw iti Lakasa. Ken inkabilna iti daytoy ti kalub a mangipakita iti pannakakalub iti basol.
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.
21 Inyapanna ti Lakasa iti tabernakulo. Insimpana ti kurtina para iti daytoy a manglinged iti Lakasa ti Tulag, kas imbillin ni Yahweh kenkuana.
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.
22 Inkabilna ti lamisaan iti uneg ti sagrado a tolda, iti akin-amianan a paset ti tabernakulo, iti ruar ti kurtina.
He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
23 Inyurnosna ti tinapay iti rabaw ti lamisaan iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, kas imbilin ni Yaweh kenkuana.
He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
24 Inkabilna ti kandelero iti uneg ti sagrado a tolda, a naibatog iti lamisaan, iti akin-abagatan a paset ti tabernakulo.
He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
25 Sinindianna dagiti pagsilawan iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana.
Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
26 Inkabilna ti balitok nga altar iti uneg ti sagrado a tolda iti sangoanan ti kurtina.
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],
27 Nangpuor isuna iti nabanglo nga insenso iti rabaw daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana.
and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
28 Imbitinna ti kurtina iti pagserkan ti tabernakulo.
He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
29 Inkabilna ti altar para iti daton a mapuoran iti pagserkan ti tabernakulo, ti sagrado a tolda. Nangidaton isuna iti rabaw daytoy ti daton a mapuoran ken ti bukbukel a daton, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana.
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.
30 Inkabilna ti palanggana iti nagbaetan ti sagrado a tolda ken ti altar ket kinargaanna daytoy iti danum a pagbuggoan.
He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
31 Bugbuguan ni Moises, Aaron ken dagiti annakna a lallaki dagiti ima ken sakada iti palanggana
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.
32 tunggal mapanda iti sagrado a tolda ken tunggal sumagpatda iti altar. Buggoanda dagiti bagbagida, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
33 Insimpa ni Moises ti paraangan iti aglawlaw ti tabernakulo ken ti altar. Insimpana ti kurtina idiay pagserkan ti paraangan. Iti kastoy a wagas, nalpas ni Moises ti trabaho.
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.
34 Ket inabbongan ti ulep ti sagrado a tolda, ken napno iti dayag ni Yahweh ti tabernakulo.
Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
35 Saan a makastrek ni Moises iti sagrado a tolda gapu ta nagtalinaed ti ulep iti daytoy, ken gapu ta napno iti dayag ni Yahweh ti tabernakulo.
Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
36 Tunggal agpangato ti ulep iti ngatoen ti tabernakulo, agrubbuat dagiti Israelita iti panagdaliasatda.
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.
37 Ngem no saan nga agpangato ti ulep manipud iti tabernakulo, ket saan nga agdaliasat dagiti tattao. Agtalinaedda agingga iti aldaw nga agpangato daytoy.
If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
38 Ta ti ulep ni Yahweh ket adda iti ngatoen ti tabernakulo iti aldaw, ken ti apuyna ket adda iti ngatoen daytoy iti rabii, a makita amin dagiti Israelita bayat ti panagdaliasatda.
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].
