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

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

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

²`On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

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

³and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,

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.

⁴and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

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.

⁵`And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

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.

⁶and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

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

⁷and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.

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

⁸`And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,

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.

⁹and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been 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.

¹⁰and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;

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

¹¹and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

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,

¹²`And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

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.

¹³and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

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

¹⁴`And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

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.

¹⁵and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.`

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

¹⁶And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.

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

¹⁷And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;

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

¹⁸and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,

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.

¹⁹and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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:

²⁰And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;

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.

²¹and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

²²And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,

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

²³and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

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

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

²⁵and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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

²⁶And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,

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

²⁷and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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

²⁸And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

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.

²⁹and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

³⁰And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,

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

³¹and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;

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.

³²in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

³³And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.

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

³⁴And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath 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.

³⁵and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

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

³⁶And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;

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

³⁷and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:

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.

³⁸for the cloud of Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
