1 و َكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى فَقالَ:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 « فِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الأوَّلِ تُقيْمُ المَسْكَنِ المُقَدَّسَ.

“ On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3 ض َعْ فِيهِ صُندُوقَ لَوحَيِّ الشَّهادَةِ وَأخْفِهِ بِالسِّتارَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ.

You shall place the ark of the testimony there, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

4 ث ُمَّ أدْخِلْ المائِدَةَ وَرَتِّبْ خُبزَ حَضْرَةِ اللهِ عَلَيها، وَأحْضِرْ المَنارَةَ وَأشْعِلْ سُرُجَها.

You shall bring in the table and arrange what belongs on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and mount its lamps.

5 و َضَعْ مَذْبَحَ البَخُورِ الذَّهَبِيَّ أمامَ صُندُوقِ العَهْدِ، وَالسِّتارَةَ عَلَى مَدْخَلِ المَسْكَنِ.

Moreover, you shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the veil for the doorway to the tabernacle.

6 « ضَعْ مَذْبَحَ الذَّبيحَةِ الصَّاعِدَةِ أمامَ مَدْخَلِ المَسْكَنِ، أي مَدْخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.

You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7 و َضَعْ حَوضَ الاغتِسالِ بَينَ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَالمَذبَحِ، مَملوءاً بِالماءِ.

You shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.

8 ض َعْ سَتائِرَ السّاحَةِ حَولَ الخَيمَةِ، ثُمَّ ضَعْ سِتارَةَ مَدْخَلِ السّاحَةِ.

You shall set up the court all around and hang up the veil for the gateway of the court.

9 و َخَذْ زَيتَ المَسحَةِ، وَامْسَحْ بِهِ المَسْكَنَ وَكُلَّ ما فِيهِ وَكُلَّ أثاثِهِ لِيَكُونَ مُخَصَّصاً للهِ.

Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall consecrate it and all its furnishings; and it shall be holy.

10 و َامْسَحْ مَذبَحَ الذَّبائِحِ الصّاعِدَةِ وَكُلَّ أدَواتِهِ، وَكَرِّسِ المَذبَحَ، فَيَصيْرَ قُدسَ أقداسٍ.

You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

11 و َامْسَحْ حَوضَ الاغتِسالِ وَقاعِدَتَهُ وَتُقَدِّسَهُ.

You shall anoint the laver and its stand, and consecrate it.

12 « ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعِ هارُونَ وَأبناءَهُ إلَى مَدْخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَاغْسِلْهُمْ بِالماءِ.

Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13 أ لْبِسْ هارُونَ ثِياباً مُقَدَّسَةً، وَامْسَحْهُ وَكَرِّسْهُ لِيَخدِمَنِي كَكاهِنٍ لِي.

You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me.

14 أ حْضِرْ كَذَلِكَ أبْناءَهُ وَألبِسْهُمُ الثِّيابَ المُخَصَّصَةَ لَهُمْ.

You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them;

15 و َامْسَحْهُمْ كَما مَسَحتَ أباهُمْ لِيَخدِمُونِي كَكَهَنَةٍ لِي. فَسَتُؤَهِّلُهُمْ هَذِهِ المِسْحَةُ لِيَكونوا كَهَنَةً إلَى الأبَدِ فِي كُلِّ أجيالِهِمْ.»

and you shall anoint them even as you have anointed their father, that they may minister as priests to Me; and their anointing will qualify them for a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”

16 ف َعَمِلَ مُوسَى بِحَسَبِ ما أمَرَهُ اللهُ بِهِ.

Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

17 و َفِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الأوَّلِ فِي السَّنَةِ الثّانِيَةِ، أُقيمَ المَسْكَنُ المُقَدَّسُ.

Now in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18 أ قامَ مُوسَى المَسْكَنَ وَوَضَعَ قَواعِدَهُ وَألواحَهُ وَعَوارِضَهُ وَأعمِدَتَهُ.

Moses erected the tabernacle and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and inserted its bars and erected its pillars.

19 و َنَشَرَ مُوسَى الخَيمَةَ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ. ثُمَّ وَضَعَ فَوقَهُ غِطاءَ جُلُودِ الكِباشِ المَدبُوغَةِ وَغِطاءِ جُلُودِ التُّيُوسِ، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

He spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

20 و َأخَذَ مُوسَى لَوحَيِّ الشَّهادَةِ وَوَضَعَهُما فِي الصُّندُوقِ. وَوَضَعَ العَصَوَينِ فِي حَلَقاتِ الصُّندُوقِ، وَوَضَعَ الغِطاءَ فَوقَ الصُّندُوقِ.

Then he took the testimony and put it into the ark, and attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.

21 و َأحضَرَ مُوسَى الصُّندُوقَ إلَى المَسْكَنِ، وَوَضَعَ السِّتارَةَ الدّاخِلِيَّةَ، وَأخْفَى صُندُوقَ لَوحَيِّ الشَّهادَةِ، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up a veil for the screen, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22 و َوَضَعَ مُوسَى المائِدَةَ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ عَلَى الجِهَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ مِنَ المَسْكَنِ، خارِجَ السِّتارَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ.

Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

23 و َرَتَّبَ عَلَيها الخُبزَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

He set the arrangement of bread in order on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

24 و َوَضَعَ مُوسَى المَنارَةَ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ عَلَى الجِهَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ مِنَ المَسْكَنِ مُقابِلَ المائِدَةِ.

Then he placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

25 و َوَضَعَ السُّرُجَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

He lighted the lamps before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

26 و َوَضَعَ المَذبَحَ الذَّهَبِيَّ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ أمامَ السِّتارَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ.

Then he placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil;

27 و َأحرَقَ بَخُوراً طَيِّباً، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

28 و َوَضَعَ السِّتارَةَ عَلَى مَدخَلِ المَسْكَنِ.

Then he set up the veil for the doorway of the tabernacle.

29 و َوَضَعَ مَذبَحَ الذَّبائِحِ الصّاعِدَةِ عِندَ مَدخَلِ مَسْكَنِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، وَقَدَّمَ عَلَيهِ الذَّبائِحَ الصّاعِدَةَ وَتَقدِماتِ الحُبُوبِ، كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

He set the altar of burnt offering before the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30 و َوَضَعَ مُوسَى الحَوضَ بَينَ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَالمَذبَحِ، وَوَضَعَ فِيهِ ماءً لِلاغْتِسالِ.

He placed the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31 و َكانَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ وَأبناؤُهُ يَغسِلُونَ أيدِيَهِمْ وَأرجُلَهُمْ فِيهِ.

From it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.

32 ف َحِينَ كانُوا يَأْتُونَ إلَى خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَيَقتَرِبُونَ إلَى المَذبَحِ، كانُوا يَغتَسِلُونَ كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

When they entered the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33 و َوَضَعَ مُوسَى سَتائِرَ السّاحَةِ حَولَ المَسْكَنِ وَالمَذبَحِ. وَوَضَعَ سِتارَةَ مَدْخَلِ السّاحَةِ. وَبِهَذا أكمَلَ مُوسَى كُلَّ العَمَلِ. مَجدُ الله

He erected the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the veil for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work. The Glory of the Lord

34 و َغَطَّتِ السَّحابَةُ خَيمَةَ الاجْتِماعِ، وَمَلأ مَجدُ اللهِ المَسْكَنَ.

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

35 و َلَمْ يَستَطِعْ مُوسَى الدُّخُولَ إلَى خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ لِأنَّ مَجدَ اللهِ مَلأ المَسْكَنَ.

Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36 و َفِي كُلِّ رِحلاتِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ، حِينَ كانَتِ السَّحابَةُ تَرتَفِعُ عَنِ المَسْكَنِ كانَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ يَرتَحِلُونَ.

Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out;

37 ف َإنْ لَمْ تَرتَفِعِ السَّحابَةُ، لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرتَحِلُونَ إلَى أنْ تَرتَفِعَ.

but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up.

38 ل ِأنَّ سَحابَةَ اللهِ كانَتْ فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ فِي النَّهارِ. وَكانَتِ النّارُ فِي السَّحابَةِ طَوالَ اللَّيلِ أمامَ عُيونِ جَمِيعِ بَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ فِي كُلِّ رِحلاتِهِمْ.

For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
