Exodus 31
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Ecce, vocavi ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri filii Hur de tribu Juda,
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
3 et implevi spiritu Dei, sapientia, et intelligentia et scientia in omni opere,
and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,
4 ad excogitandum quidquid fabrefieri potest ex auro, et argento, et ære,
to devise artistic work — to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
5 marmore, et gemmis, et diversitate lignorum.
and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber — to work in all manner of work.
6 Dedique ei socium Ooliab filium Achisamech de tribu Dan. Et in corde omnis eruditi posui sapientiam: ut faciant cuncta quæ præcepi tibi,
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee —
7 tabernaculum fœderis, et arcam testimonii, et propitiatorium, quod super eam est, et cuncta vasa tabernaculi,
the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,
8 mensamque et vasa ejus, candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis, et altaris thymiamatis,
and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;
9 et holocausti, et omnia vasa eorum, labrum cum basi sua,
and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;
10 vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti, et filiis ejus, ut fungantur officio suo in sacris:
and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;
11 oleum unctionis, et thymiama aromatum in sanctuario, omnia quæ præcepi tibi, facient.
and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: Videte ut sabbatum meum custodiatis: quia signum est inter me et vos in generationibus vestris: ut sciatis quia ego Dominus, qui sanctifico vos.
And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow you.
14 Custodite sabbatum meum, sanctum est enim vobis: qui polluerit illud, morte morietur; qui fecerit in eo opus, peribit anima illius de medio populi sui.
Keep the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.
15 Sex diebus facietis opus: in die septimo sabbatum est, requies sancta Domino; omnis qui fecerit opus in hac die, morietur.
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.
16 Custodiant filii Israël sabbatum, et celebrent illud in generationibus suis. Pactum est sempiternum
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations — [it is] an everlasting covenant.
17 inter me et filios Israël, signumque perpetuum; sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et in septimo ab opere cessavit.
It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for [in] six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 Deditque Dominus Moysi, completis hujuscemodi sermonibus in monte Sinai, duas tabulas testimonii lapideas, scriptas digito Dei.
And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
