1Then the LORD said to Moses,
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
2“ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, te ke fokotuʻu ʻae fale tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
3Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.
3Pea te ke ʻai ki ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae puha ʻae puipui.
4Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.
4Pea te ke ʻomi ki ai ʻae palepale, pea ke ʻai ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke ʻai ki ai; pea ke ʻomi ki ai ʻae tuʻunga maama, ʻo tutu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻo ia.
5Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
5Pea te ke tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga koula ki he meʻa namu kakala, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻai ʻae puipui tautau ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
6Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
6Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe matapā ʻoe fale tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
7And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
7Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻae sene ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea ke ʻai ki ai ʻae vai.
8Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.
8Pea te ke fokotuʻu hono lotoʻā ʻo takatakai ia, pea tautau hake hono puipui ʻi he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā.
9Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.
9“Pea te ke ʻave ʻae lolo tākai, ʻo tākai ʻaki ʻae fale fehikitaki, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, mo ke fakatapui ia, mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē ʻo ia: pea ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia.
10Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.
10Pea te ke tākai ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu, mo hono ngaahi nāunau kotoa pē, ʻo fakatapui ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e feilaulauʻanga fungani māʻoniʻoni.
11Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
11Pea te ke tākai ʻae sene mo hono tuʻunga, ʻo fakatapui ia.
12Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
12“Pea te ke ʻomi ʻa ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo kaukauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vai.
13And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.
13Pea te ke ʻai kia ʻElone ʻae ngaahi kofu māʻoniʻoni, pea tākai ia, ʻo fakatapui ia; koeʻuhi ke ne ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
14Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.
14Pea te ke ʻomi hono ngaahi foha, ʻo fakakofuʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi kofutuʻa.
15Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”
15Pea te ke tākai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tākai ʻenau tamai, koeʻuhi ke nau ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki: he ko honau tākai ia ki he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki moʻoni ʻo taʻengata ʻi honau toʻutangata kotoa pē tuku fakaholo.”
16Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
16Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Mōsese: ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻene fai.
17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
17¶ Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻae fale fehikitaki.
18When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.
18Pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Mōsese ʻae fale fehikitaki, ʻo ne fakamaʻu hono ngaahi tuʻunga, pea naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻa hono ngaahi laupapa, pea ʻai ki ai hono ngaahi ʻakau fakamaʻu, pea naʻe fokotuʻu hono ngaahi pou.
19Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.
19Pea naʻa ne folahi atu ʻae fakapulonga ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he fale fehikitaki, pea naʻe ʻai hono fakapulonga ʻe taha ki ai ʻi ʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
20Moses took the Testimony and placed it in the ark, attaching the poles to the ark; and he set the mercy seat atop the ark.
20¶ Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae fuakava ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he puha, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae ongo ʻakau haʻamo ki he puha, pea naʻe hili ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ki ʻolunga ʻi he puha.
21Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and shielded off the ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him.
21Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae puha ki loto ʻi he fale fehikitaki, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae puipui ʻufiʻufi, pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
22Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.
22¶ Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae palepale ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ki he potu tokelau ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ʻituʻa ʻi he puipui.
23He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
23Pea naʻa ne tuku lelei ʻi ai ʻae mā, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
24He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle
24¶ Pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae tuʻunga maama ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo hanga tonu atu ki he palepale, ʻi he potu tonga ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
25and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
25Pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
26Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
26¶ Pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae feilaulauʻanga koula ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puipui:
27and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.
27Pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi hono funga ʻo ia; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
28Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
28¶ Pea naʻa ne tautau hake ʻae puipui ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
29He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.
29Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa tutu ʻo ofi ki he matapā ʻoe fale tapu ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau meʻakai; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
30He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;
30¶ Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae sene ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe ai ki ʻai ʻae vai, ke kaukau ʻaki.
31and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.
31Pea ko Mōsese mo ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha naʻa nau fanofano honau nima, mo kaukauʻi honau vaʻe ʻi ai:
32They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
32ʻI heʻenau hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, naʻa nau kaukau; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
33And Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and he hung the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.
33Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae lotoʻā ʻo fakatakamilo ki he fale fehikitaki, mo e feilaulauʻanga, ʻo fokotuʻu hake ʻae puipui ki he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā. Pea naʻe fakaʻosi pehē ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngāue.
34Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
34¶ Pea hili ia naʻe ʻufiʻufi leva ʻe he ʻao ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea naʻe fakafonu ʻe he nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale fehikitaki.
35Moses was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35Pea naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe Mōsese ke hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e meʻa ʻi he nofomaʻu ki ai ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe fakafonu ʻe he nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻae fale fehikitaki.
36Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.
36Pea ka toʻo hake ʻae ʻao mei heʻene fakamalumalu ʻae fale fehikitaki, naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi fononga kotoa pē:
37If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
37Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai toʻo hake ʻae ʻao, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fononga, kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae ʻaho kuo toʻo hake ai ia.
38For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys.
38He naʻe fakamalumalu ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻe he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae afi ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi honau ngaahi fononga kotoa pē.
