Ekoruhe 40
1 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Hei te ra tuatahi o te marama tuatahi koe whakaara ai i te tapenakara o te teneti o te whakaminenga.
“On the first day of the first month next year, [tell the people to] set up the Sacred Tent.
3 A me hoatu ki roto te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ka hipoki ai i te aaka ki te arai.
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 Me kawe ano te tepu ki roto, ka ata whakatakoto ai i nga mea e whakatakotoria ana ki runga; me kawe ano e koe te turanga rama ki roto, ka tahu ai i ona rama.
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 Me whakatu ano e koe te aata koura mo te whakakakara ki mua o te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ka whakairi ai i te pa o te whatitoka ki te tapenakara.
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 Me whakatu ano e koe te aata mo te tahunga tinana ki mua o te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te teneti o te whakaminenga.
Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the Sacred Tent.
7 Me whakatu ano te takotoranga wai ki te takiwa o te aata, o te teneti o te whakaminenga, ka riringi wai ai ki roto.
Put the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
8 Me whakatu ano te marae a tawhio noa, ka whakairi ai i te pa ki te kuwaha o te marae.
Hang the curtains that will surround the courtyard, and hang the curtain at its entrance.
9 Na ka tango i te hinu whakawahi, ka whakawahi ai i te tapenakara me nga mea katoa i roto, ka whakatapu ai i taua mea, i ona mea katoa: a ka tapu.
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 Me whakawahi ano te aata mo te tahunga tinana me ona oko katoa, me whakatapu ano te aata: a ka meinga hei aata tino tapu.
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 Me whakawahi ano te takotoranga wai me tona turanga, me whakatapu.
Also anoint the washbasin and its base, to set it apart.
12 Me kawe ano e koe a Arona ratou ko ana tama ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka horoi ai i a ratou ki te wai,
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually] with water.
13 Ka whakakakahu ai i nga kakahu tapu ki a Arona, ka whakawahi ai i a ia, ka whakatapu ai i a ia: a ka waiho ia hei tohunga maku.
Then put on Aaron his sacred clothes to (set him apart/dedicate him), in order that he can serve me as a priest.
14 Na, me kawe mai ana tama, me whakakakahu nga koti ki a ratou:
Also bring his sons there. Put their sacred tunics/gowns on them
15 Me whakawahi, kia rite ki tau whakawahinga i to ratou papa, a ka meinga ratou hei tohunga maku: a ka ai to ratou whakawahinga hei whakatohunga i a ratou mo ake tonu atu, puta noa i o ratou whakatupuranga.
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 I pera ano a Mohi: rite tonu tana i mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a ia.
Moses/I did all these things exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
17 Na, i te marama tuatahi o te rua o nga tau, i te ra tuatahi o te marama ka whakaarahi te tapenakara.
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 I whakaarahia hoki e Mohi te tapenakara, i whakatakotoria ona turanga, i whakaarahia ona papa, i kuhua ona kaho, a whakaarahia ana ona pou.
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 I hipokina ano e ia te teneti ki runga i te tapenakara, a maka iho ana te hipoki o te teneti ki runga ake, ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
Then they spread out the coverings over the Sacred Tent, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
20 Na ka mau ia ki te whakaaturanga, a hoatu ana ki roto ki te aaka, a kuhua ana nga amo ki te taha o te aaka, na ka maka iho te taupoki ki runga ki te aaka:
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 Na ka maua e ia te aaka ki roto ki te tapenakara, a whakairihia ake ana te arai hipoki, hei hipoki mo te aaka o te whakaaturanga; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
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 I whakaturia ano e ia te tepu ki te teneti o te whakaminenga, ki te taha whaka te raki o te tapenakara, ki waho mai o te arai.
He/I set the table inside the Sacred Tent, on the north side, outside the curtain.
23 I whakararangitia hoki te taro ki runga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
He/I placed on the table the bread that was offered to Yahweh, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
24 I whakaturia ano e ia te turanga rama ki te teneti o te whakaminenga, ki te ritenga atu o te tepu, ki te taha whaka te tonga o te tapenakara.
He/I set the lampstand inside the Sacred Tent, on the south side, opposite the table.
25 A tahuna ana e ia nga rama ki te aroaro o Ihowa; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
Then he/I fastened the lamps to the lampstand in Yahweh’s presence, exactly as Yahweh had commanded.
26 I whakaturia hoki e ia te aata koura ki te teneti o te whakaminenga ki mua mai o te arai:
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 A tahuna ana e ia te whakakakara reka ki runga; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
and he/I burned some sweet-smelling incense on it, exactly as Yahweh had commanded him/me.
28 I whakairihia ano te pa mo te whatitoka o te tapenakara.
He/I hung the curtain at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
29 A i whakaturia e ia te aata mo te tahunga tinana ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te teneti o te whakaminenga, a whakaekea ana ki runga te tahunga tinana me te whakahere totokore; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
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 A i whakaturia e ia te takotoranga wai ki te takiwa o te aata, o te teneti o te whakaminenga, a ringihia ana he wai ki roto hei horoi.
He/I set the washbasin between the Sacred Tent and the [bronze] altar, and he/I filled the washbasin with water.
31 A i horoia e Mohi, e Arona hoki ratou ko ana tama, o ratou ringa me o ratou waewae ki reira:
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 I to ratou haerenga ki roto ki te teneti o te whakaminenga, i te mea ranei ka whakatata ki te aata, ka horoi ratou; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
33 I whakaturia ano te marae o te tapenakara, o te aata a tawhio noa, a whakairihia ana te pa o te kuwaha o te marae. Na ka oti te mahi i a Mohi.
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 Katahi ka taupokina iho te teneti o te whakaminenga e te kapua, a ka ki te tapenakara i te kororia o Ihowa.
Then the [tall bright] cloud covered the Sacred Tent, and Yahweh’s (glory/brilliant light) filled the Sacred Tent.
35 A kihai i taea e Mohi te tomo ki te teneti o te whakaminenga no te mea e taungia iho ana e te kapua, e ki ana hoki te tapenakara i te kororia o Ihowa.
Because that light was very bright, Moses/I was not able to enter the Sacred Tent.
36 A, ka riro ake te kapua i te tapenakara, ka haere nga tama a Iharaira i o ratou haerenga katoa:
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 Ki te mea ia kihai i riro te kapua, kihai i haere, a taea noatia te ra i riro ake ai.
If the cloud did not rise, they stayed where they were and did not go on until the cloud rose.
38 I runga hoki i te tapenakara te kapua o Ihowa i te awatea, a he ahi kei runga i te po, i te tirohanga a te whare katoa o Iharaira, i o ratou haerenga katoa.
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].
