40  A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Hei te ra tuatahi o te marama tuatahi koe whakaara ai i te tapenakara o te teneti o te whakaminenga.

A me hoatu ki roto te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ka hipoki ai i te aaka ki te arai.

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.

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.

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.

Me whakatu ano te takotoranga wai ki te takiwa o te aata, o te teneti o te whakaminenga, ka riringi wai ai ki roto.

Me whakatu ano te marae a tawhio noa, ka whakairi ai i te pa ki te kuwaha o te marae.

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.

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.

11 Me whakawahi ano te takotoranga wai me tona turanga, me whakatapu.

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,

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.

14 Na, me kawe mai ana tama, me whakakakahu nga koti ki a ratou:

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.

16 I pera ano a Mohi: rite tonu tana i mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a ia.

17 Na, i te marama tuatahi o te rua o nga tau, i te ra tuatahi o te marama ka whakaarahi te tapenakara.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

23 I whakararangitia hoki te taro ki runga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

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.

25 A tahuna ana e ia nga rama ki te aroaro o Ihowa; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

26 I whakaturia hoki e ia te aata koura ki te teneti o te whakaminenga ki mua mai o te arai:

27 A tahuna ana e ia te whakakakara reka ki runga; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

28 I whakairihia ano te pa mo te whatitoka o te tapenakara.

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.

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.

31 A i horoia e Mohi, e Arona hoki ratou ko ana tama, o ratou ringa me o ratou waewae ki reira:

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.

34 Katahi ka taupokina iho te teneti o te whakaminenga e te kapua, a ka ki te tapenakara i te kororia o Ihowa.

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.

36 A, ka riro ake te kapua i te tapenakara, ka haere nga tama a Iharaira i o ratou haerenga katoa:

37 Ki te mea ia kihai i riro te kapua, kihai i haere, a taea noatia te ra i riro ake ai.

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.

Setting Up the Tabernacle

40 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Set up(A) the tabernacle, the tent of meeting,(B) on the first day of the first month.(C) Place the ark(D) of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain. Bring in the table(E) and set out what belongs on it.(F) Then bring in the lampstand(G) and set up its lamps. Place the gold altar(H) of incense in front of the ark of the covenant law and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

“Place the altar(I) of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; place the basin(J) between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it. Set up the courtyard(K) around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard.

“Take the anointing oil and anoint(L) the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings,(M) and it will be holy. 10 Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate(N) the altar, and it will be most holy. 11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

12 “Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting(O) and wash them with water.(P) 13 Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments,(Q) anoint him and consecrate(R) him so he may serve me as priest. 14 Bring his sons and dress them in tunics.(S) 15 Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.(T) 16 Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded(U) him.

17 So the tabernacle(V) was set up on the first day of the first month(W) in the second year. 18 When Moses(X) set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames,(Y) inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. 19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering(Z) over the tent, as the Lord commanded(AA) him.

20 He took the tablets of the covenant law(AB) and placed them in the ark,(AC) attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover(AD) over it. 21 Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain(AE) and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded(AF) him.

22 Moses placed the table(AG) in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain 23 and set out the bread(AH) on it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded(AI) him.

24 He placed the lampstand(AJ) in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle 25 and set up the lamps(AK) before the Lord, as the Lord commanded(AL) him.

26 Moses placed the gold altar(AM) in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain 27 and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded(AN) him.

28 Then he put up the curtain(AO) at the entrance to the tabernacle. 29 He set the altar(AP) of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings,(AQ) as the Lord commanded(AR) him.

30 He placed the basin(AS) between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, 31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash(AT) their hands and feet. 32 They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar,(AU) as the Lord commanded(AV) Moses.

33 Then Moses set up the courtyard(AW) around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain(AX) at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.

The Glory of the Lord

34 Then the cloud(AY) covered the tent of meeting, and the glory(AZ) of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory(BA) of the Lord filled the tabernacle.(BB)

36 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;(BC) 37 but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. 38 So the cloud(BD) of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
