Kuweka Wakfu Maskani Ya Mungu
1Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose: 240:2 Kut 26:30; Law 3:2; 6:26; 9:23; 16:16; Hes 7:89; 11:16; 17:4; 20:6; Yos 18:1; 19:51; Yer 7:12; Kut 12:2; Hes 9:1“Simika Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania, katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza. 340:3 Kut 26; 33; Hes 4:5Weka Sanduku la Ushuhuda ndani yake na ulifunike kwa pazia. Ingiza meza na kupanga vitu vyake juu yake. 440:4 Kut 25:23; 25:30-31; 26:33Kisha ingiza kinara cha taa na uweke taa zake juu yake. 540:5 Kut 30:1Weka madhabahu ya dhahabu ya kufukizia uvumba mbele ya Sanduku la Ushuhuda kisha uweke pazia kwenye lango la Maskani ya Mungu.
640:6 Kut 27:1; 2Fal 16:14; 2Nya 4:1“Weka madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa mbele ya lango la Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania; 740:7 Kut 30:18weka sinia kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, na uweke maji ndani yake. 840:8 Kut 27:9Fanyiza ua kuzunguka maskani na uweke pazia penye ingilio la ua.
940:9 Kut 30:26; Hes 7:1; Law 8:10“Chukua mafuta ya upako, ipake Maskani ya Mungu pamoja na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake; iweke wakfu pamoja na vitu vyote vilivyomo ndani mwake, nayo itakuwa takatifu. 1040:10 Kut 29; 36Kisha yapake mafuta hayo madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote; weka wakfu madhabahu nayo yatakuwa takatifu sana. 11Paka sinia mafuta pamoja na kishikilio chake na uviweke wakfu.
1240:12 Hes 8:9; Kut 29:4; 30:19“Mlete Aroni na wanawe kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania na uwaoshe kwa maji. 1340:13 Kut 28:41; Law 8:1-12Kisha mvike Aroni yale mavazi matakatifu, umtie mafuta na kumweka wakfu ili apate kunitumikia katikati ya ukuhani. 1440:14 Kut 28:40; Law 10:5Walete wanawe na uwavike makoti. 1540:15 Kut 29:9; Hes 25:13Kisha watie mafuta kama ulivyomtia baba yao, ili nao pia wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani. Kutiwa mafuta kwao kutakuwa kwa ajili ya ukuhani utakaoendelea kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo.” 1640:16 Mwa 6:22Mose akafanya kila kitu sawa kama vile Bwana alivyomwagiza.
1740:17 Hes 7:10Kwa hiyo Maskani ya Mungu ilisimikwa katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza, katika mwaka wa pili. 1840:18 2Nya 1:3; Kut 36:20-34Mose alipoweka wakfu Maskani ya Mungu, aliweka vitako mahali pake, akasimamisha mihimili, akatia mataruma na kusimamisha nguzo. 1940:19 Kut 36:19; Mwa 6:22Kisha akalitandaza hema juu ya Maskani ya Mungu na kuifunika hema, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
2040:20 Kut 16:34; Ebr 9:4; 1Fal 8:9; Kut 25:17-22; 26:34; 31:7Akachukua ule Ushuhuda na kuuweka ndani ya Sanduku la Agano, akaweka ile mipiko ya kubebea hilo Sanduku na kuweka kiti cha rehema juu yake. 2140:21 Kut 26:33; Mwa 6:22Kisha Mose akalileta Sanduku ndani ya Maskani ya Mungu, akatundika pazia ili kulifunika Sanduku la Ushuhuda, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
2240:22 Kut 25:23Mose akaweka meza ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, upande wa kaskazini ya Maskani ya Mungu nje ya pazia 2340:23 Kut 25:30; Law 24:5-8; Mwa 6:22na kupanga mikate juu yake mbele za Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
2440:24 Kut 25:31; 26:35Akaweka kinara cha taa ndani ya Hema la Kukutania mkabala na meza upande wa kusini mwa Maskani ya Mungu 2540:25 Kut 25:37; 37:23; Mwa 6:22na kuziweka taa mbele za Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
2640:26 Kut 30:1Mose akaweka madhabahu ya dhahabu ndani ya Hema la Kukutania mbele ya pazia 2740:27 Mwa 6:22; Kut 30:7na kufukiza uvumba wenye harufu nzuri, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza. 2840:28 Kut 26:36Kisha akaweka pazia kwenye ingilio la Maskani ya Mungu.
2940:29 Kut 20:24; 29:38-42; Mwa 6:22Mose akaweka madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa karibu na ingilio la Maskani ya Mungu, yaani Hema la Kukutania, na kutoa juu yake sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za nafaka kama Bwana alivyomwagiza.
3040:30 Kut 30:18Akaweka sinia kati ya Hema la Kukutania na madhabahu, akaweka maji ndani yake kwa ajili ya kunawia, 3140:31 Kut 30:19-21Naye Mose, Aroni na wanawe wakayatumia kwa kunawia mikono na miguu yao. 3240:32 Kut 30:20; Mwa 6:22Wakanawa kila walipoingia katika Hema la Kukutania au walipoikaribia madhabahu kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
3340:33 Kut 27:9; 38:9-20; 27:16Kisha Mose akafanya ua kuizunguka Maskani ya Mungu na madhabahu, pia akaweka pazia kwenye ingilio la huo ua. Hivyo Mose akaikamilisha kazi.
Utukufu Wa Bwana
(Hesabu 9:15-23)
3440:34 Kut 19:16; 16:7; Law 16:2; Hes 9:15-23; 1Fal 8:12; 2Nya 5:13; Isa 6:4; Eze 10:4; Kut 19:16; 23; 2Nya 5:13; Yn 1:14; 12:41; Ufu 15:8Ndipo wingu likafunika Hema la Kukutania, na utukufu wa Bwana ukaijaza Maskani ya Mungu. 3540:35 Kut 16:10; 1Fal 8:11; 2Nya 5:13-14; 7:2Mose hakuweza kuingia ndani ya Hema la Kukutania kwa sababu wingu lilikuwa limetua juu ya Hema, nao utukufu wa Bwana ukaijaza Maskani ya Mungu.
3640:36 Hes 9:17-23; 10:13; Neh 9:19Katika safari yote ya Waisraeli, kila wakati wingu lilipoinuka kutoka juu ya Maskani ya Mungu, wangeondoka; 37lakini kama wingu halikuinuka, hawakuondoka, mpaka siku lilipoinuka. 3840:38 Hes 9:15; Kut 13:21; 1Kor 10:1Kwa hiyo wingu la Bwana lilikuwa juu ya maskani mchana, na moto ulikuwa katika hilo wingu wakati wa usiku, machoni pa nyumba yote ya Israeli siku zote za safari zao.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 3And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. 4And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.40.4 the things…: Heb. the order thereof 5And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. 6And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 7And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 8And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. 9And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy. 10And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.40.10 most holy: Heb. holiness of holinesses 11And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it. 12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. 13And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 14And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 15And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst 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.
16Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
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. 18And 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. 19And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
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: 21And 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.
22¶ And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail. 23And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24¶ And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26¶ And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail: 27And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28¶ And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle. 29And 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 meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30¶ And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal. 31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat: 32When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses. 33And 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.
34¶ Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35And 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. 36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:40.36 went onward: Heb. journeyed 37But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 38For 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.
