اَلْخُرُوجُ 31

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Note that I have chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, [for special tasks].

٢ 2 «اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَعَوْتُ بَصَلْئِيلَ بْنَ أُورِي بْنَ حُورَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا بِٱسْمِهِ،

٣ 3 وَمَلَأْتُهُ مِنْ رُوحِ ٱللهِ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْفَهْمِ وَٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ وَكُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ،

I have caused him to be completely controlled/empowered by my Spirit, and I have given him special ability [to make things] and have enabled him to know how to do very skilled work.

٤ 4 لِٱخْتِرَاعِ مُخْتَرَعَاتٍ لِيَعْمَلَ فِي ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلنُّحَاسِ،

He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.

٥ 5 وَنَقْشِ حِجَارَةٍ لِلتَّرْصِيعِ، وَنِجَارَةِ ٱلْخَشَبِ، لِيَعْمَلَ فِي كُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ.

He can cut (jewels/valuable stones) and enclose them [in tiny gold settings/frames]. He can carve things from wood and do other skilled work.

٦ 6 وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ مَعَهُ أُهُولِيآبَ بْنَ أَخِيسَامَاكَ مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ. وَفِي قَلْبِ كُلِّ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ جَعَلْتُ حِكْمَةً، لِيَصْنَعُوا كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ:

Note that I have also appointed Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to work with him. I have also given special ability to other men, in order that they can make all the things that I have commanded you [to be made].

٧ 7 خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَتَابُوتَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ، وَٱلْغِطَاءَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ، وَكُلَّ آنِيَةِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ،

That includes the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest and its lid, all the other things that will be inside the Sacred Tent,

٨ 8 وَٱلْمَائِدَةَ وَآنِيَتَهَا، وَٱلْمَنَارَةَ ٱلطَّاهِرَةَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهَا، وَمَذْبَحَ ٱلْبَخُورِ،

the table and all the things that are used with it, the pure gold lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar [for burning] incense,

٩ 9 وَمَذْبَحَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِ، وَٱلْمِرْحَضَةَ وَقَاعِدَتَهَا،

the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned and all the things that will be used with it, the washbasin and its base,

١٠ 10 وَٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلْمَنْسُوجَةَ، وَٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةَ لِهَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَثِيَابَ بَنِيهِ لِلْكَهَانَةِ،

all the beautiful sacred clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they work as priests,

١١ 11 وَدُهْنَ ٱلْمَسْحَةِ وَٱلْبَخُورَ ٱلْعَطِرَ لِلْقُدْسِ. حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ يَصْنَعُونَ».

the oil for anointing, and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Place. [The skilled workers] must make all these things exactly as I have told you to do.”

١٢ 12 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

١٣ 13 «وَأَنْتَ تُكَلِّمُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: سُبُوتِي تَحْفَظُونَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ عَلَامَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ،

“Tell the Israeli people, ‘Obey my instructions regarding the (rest days/Sabbath days). Those days will remind you [and your descendants], throughout all future generations, that I, Yahweh, have (set you apart/chosen you) to be my people.

١٤ 14 فَتَحْفَظُونَ ٱلسَّبْتَ لِأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ لَكُمْ. مَنْ دَنَّسَهُ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا. إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ صَنَعَ فِيهِ عَمَلًا تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهَا.

You must obey [my rules about] the Sabbath days because they are holy/sacred. Those who treat those days in an irreverent way by working on those days must be executed [to show that] I no longer consider them to belong to my people.

١٥ 15 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ يُصْنَعُ عَمَلٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتُ عُطْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ. كُلُّ مَنْ صَنَعَ عَمَلًا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلسَّبْتِ يُقْتَلُ قَتْلًا.

You may work for six days [each week], but the seventh day [of each week] is a solemn day of rest, dedicated to me, Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on a day of rest is to be executed [because I no longer want them to be able to associate with my people].

١٦ 16 فَيَحْفَظُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلسَّبْتَ لِيَصْنَعُوا ٱلسَّبْتَ فِي أَجْيَالِهِمْ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا.

You Israeli people must respect the rest day, and you [and your descendants] must (celebrate it/keep it holy) throughout all future generations. [It will remind you] of the agreement that I have made with you that will last forever.

١٧ 17 هُوَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَامَةٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. لِأَنَّهُ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ ٱسْتَرَاحَ وَتَنَفَّسَ».

It will remind you Israeli people and remind me [of that agreement] because I, Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day I stopped doing that work and relaxed.’”

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ أَعْطَى مُوسَى عِنْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ مَعَهُ فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ لَوْحَيِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ: لَوْحَيْ حَجَرٍ مَكْتُوبَيْنِ بِإِصْبِعِ ٱللهِ.

When Yahweh finished talking with Moses/me on the top of Sinai Mountain, he gave him/me the two stone slabs on which he had engraved his commandments with his own fingers.
