¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹¶ A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

²On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

²Hei te ra tuatahi o te marama tuatahi koe whakaara ai i te tapenakara o te teneti o te whakaminenga.

³And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil.

³A me hoatu ki roto te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ka hipoki ai i te aaka ki te arai.

⁴And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

⁴Me 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.

⁵And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

⁵Me 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.

⁶And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

⁶Me whakatu ano e koe te aata mo te tahunga tinana ki mua o te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te teneti o te whakaminenga.

⁷And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

⁷Me whakatu ano te takotoranga wai ki te takiwa o te aata, o te teneti o te whakaminenga, ka riringi wai ai ki roto.

⁸And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

⁸Me whakatu ano te marae a tawhio noa, ka whakairi ai i te pa ki te kuwaha o te marae.

⁹And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy.

⁹Na 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.

¹⁰And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy.

¹⁰Me whakawahi ano te aata mo te tahunga tinana me ona oko katoa, me whakatapu ano te aata: a ka meinga hei aata tino tapu.

¹¹And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.

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

¹²And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.

¹²Me 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,

¹³And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

¹³Ka 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.

¹⁴And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them;

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

¹⁵and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

¹⁵Me 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.

¹⁶Thus did Moses: according to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.

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

¹⁷And 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.

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

¹⁸And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars.

¹⁸I whakaarahia hoki e Mohi te tapenakara, i whakatakotoria ona turanga, i whakaarahia ona papa, i kuhua ona kaho, a whakaarahia ana ona pou.

¹⁹And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹⁹I 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.

²⁰And 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:

²⁰Na 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:

²¹and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²¹Na 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.

²²And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.

²²I 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.

²³And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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

²⁴And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

²⁴I 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.

²⁵And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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

²⁶And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:

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

²⁷and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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

²⁸And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

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

²⁹And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁹A 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.

³⁰And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash.

³⁰A 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.

³¹And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat;

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

³²when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

³²I 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.

³³And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

³³I 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.

³⁴Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

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

³⁵And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

³⁵A 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.

³⁶And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys:

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

³⁷but if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

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

³⁸For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

³⁸I 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.
