Exodus 38
1 [Several men helped] Bezalel to make the altar for burning sacrifices. They made it from acacia wood. It was square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and it was (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
Puis il fit l’autel de l’holocauste en bois de chittîm; cinq coudées furent sa longueur, cinq coudées sa largeur, il était carré, et trois coudées sa hauteur,
2 They made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar [was made of]. They covered the whole altar with bronze.
Il en sculpta les cornes aux quatre angles, ces cornes faisant corps avec lui; puis il le revêtit de cuivre
3 They made the pans in which to put the greasy ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. They also made the shovels for cleaning out the ashes. They made the basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooked, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of those things were made from bronze.
Il fabriqua tous les ustensiles de l’autel: les cendriers, les pelles, les bassins, les fourches et les brasiers; il fit tous ces ustensiles de cuivré.
4 They also made a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They put the grating under the rim that went around the altar. [They] made it so that it was [inside the altar], halfway down.
Il fit pour l’autel un grillage formant un réseau de cuivre, au-dessous de l’entablement et régnant jusqu’au milieu.
5 They made bronze rings in which to put the poles [for carrying the altar], and fastened one of them to each of the corners of the altar.
II moula quatre anneaux aux quatre angles, sur le grillage de cuivre, pour y passer les barres,
6 They made the poles from acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
Il fit ces barres en bois de chittîm et les recouvrit de cuivre;
7 They put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles were for carrying the altar.
et il les introduisit dans les anneaux, aux côtés de l’autel, pour servir à le transporter; C’Est en boiserie creuse qu’il le disposa.
8 The altar was [hollow] like an empty box. It was made from boards [of acacia wood]. They made/cast the washbasin and its base from bronze. The bronze was from the mirrors that belonged to the women who worked at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Il fabriqua la cuve en cuivre et son support de même, au moyen des miroirs des femmes qui s’étaient attroupées à l’entrée de la Tente d’assignation.
9 [Around the Sacred Tent] Bezalel and his helpers made a courtyard. To form the courtyard, they made curtains of fine white linen. On the south side, the curtain was (150 feet/46 meters) long.
II prépara le parvis. Pour le côté du sud, regardant le midi, les toiles du parvis en lin retors, avaient cent coudées,
10 [To hang the curtain], they made 20 bronze posts and 20 bronze bases, [one for under each post]. [To fasten the curtains to] the posts, they made silver hooks, and [they made metal] rods [covered with] silver.
Il fit leurs vingt piliers avec leurs vingt socles de cuivre; les crochets des piliers et leurs tringles, en argent.
11 They made the same kind of curtains, posts, bases, and hooks for the north side of the courtyard.
Pour le côté nord, cent coudées de toiles, ayant vingt piliers avec vingt socles de cuivre, avec crochets et tringles d’argent.
12 On the west side [of the courtyard], they made a curtain (75 feet/23 meters) long. They also made ten posts on which to hang the curtains, and ten bases, with silver hooks and [metal] rods [covered with] silver.
Pour la face occidentale, des toiles mesurant cinquante coudées, avec dix piliers à dix socles, à crochets et tringles d’argent.
13 On the east side, [where the entrance is], the courtyard was (75 feet/23 meters) wide.
Pour la face orientale, au levant, cinquante coudées.
14 On each side of the entrance, they made a curtain (22-1/2 feet/6.6 meters) wide. On each side they [were hung from] three posts, and one base was under each post.
Quinze coudées de toiles pour une aile, avec trois piliers et trois socles;
pour la seconde aile, elles s’étendaient des deux côtés de l’entrée du parvis, quinze coudées de toiles, ayant trois piliers avec trois socles.
16 All the curtains around the courtyard were made from fine white linen.
Toutes les toiles formant le pourtour du parvis étaient en lin retors,
17 All the posts around the courtyard were made of bronze, but the tops were covered with silver. The posts were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners and hooks were made of silver.
Les socles destinés aux piliers étaient de cuivre; les crochets des piliers et leurs tringles, d’argent et leurs chapiteaux étaient recouverts en argent: ainsi se trouvaient reliés par de l’argent tous les piliers du parvis.
18 For the entrance of the courtyard, they made a curtain from fine white linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. The curtain was (30 feet/9 meters) long and (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high, just like the other curtains around the courtyard.
Le rideau portière du parvis, ouvragé en broderie, était d’azur, de pourpre, d’écarlate et de lin retors. Il avait vingt coudées de longueur; hauteur, formée par la largeur, cinq coudées, semblablement aux toiles du parvis.
19 All the curtains were made of fine white linen. They were supported by four posts, and [under each post] was a base made of bronze. All the posts around the courtyard were connected with [metal] rods [covered with] silver. The clasps/fasteners were made of silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver.
Elles avaient quatre piliers, avec quatre socles de cuivre; leurs crochets étaient d’argent, ainsi que la garniture de leurs chapiteaux et que leurs tringles.
20 All the tent pegs to support the Sacred Tent and the curtains around the courtyard were made of bronze.
Enfin, toutes les chevilles destinées au tabernacle et au pourtour du parvis étaient de cuivre.
21 Here is a list of the amounts of metal used to make the Sacred Tent. Moses/I told [some men from] the tribe of Levi to [count all the materials used and] write down the amounts. Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest, supervised those men.
Telle est la distribution du tabernacle, résidence du Statut, comme elle fut établie par l’ordre de Moïse; tâche confiée aux Lévites, sous la direction d’Ithamar, fils d’Aaron le pontife.
22 Bezalel the son of Uri and grandson of Hur made all the things that Yahweh commanded Moses/me to be made.
Beçalel, fils d’Ouri, fils dé Hour, de la tribu de Juda, exécuta donc tout ce que l’Éternel avait ordonné à Moïse,
23 Bezalel’s helper was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Oholiab was a skilled engraver who made artistic things. He made fine white linen, and he embroidered designs using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread. He also made other cloth.
secondé par Oholiab, fils d’Ahisamak, de la tribu de Dan, artisan et artiste, brodeur en étoffes d’azur, de, pourpre, d’écarlate et de fin lin.
24 All the gold that was used to make the Sacred Tent weighed (2,195 pounds/1,000 kg.). They used the official standard when they weighed the gold.
Tout l’or employé à cette œuvre, aux diverses parties de l’œuvre sainte, cet or, produit de l’offrande, se monta à vingt-neuf kikkar, plus sept cent trente sicles, selon le poids du sanctuaire.
25 All the silver that the people contributed when the leaders (took the census/counted the men) weighed (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.). They also used the official standard when they weighed the silver.
L’Argent, produit du dénombrement de la communauté, fut de cent kikkar, plus mille sept cent soixante-quinze sicles, au poids du sanctuaire:
26 All the men who were at least 20 years old were counted, and they each paid the required amount. That was a total of 603,550 men.
à un béka par tête, soit un demi sicle au poids du sanctuaire, pour tous ceux qui firent partie du dénombrement, depuis l’âge de vingt ans et au-dessus, au nombre de six cent trois mille cinq cent cinquante.
27 They used (75 pounds/34 kg.) of silver for making/casting each of the 100 bases to [put under the posts to support] the curtains of the Sacred Tent.
Or, les cent kikkar d’argent servirent à fondre les socles du sanctuaire et les socles du voile pour les cent socles cent kikkar, un kikkar par socle.
28 Bezalel [and his helpers] used the (50 pounds/30 kg.) of silver that was not used for the bases to make the rods and the hooks for the posts, and to cover the tops of the posts.
Quant aux mille sept cent soixante quinze sicles, on en fit les crochets des piliers, la garniture de leurs chapiteaux et leurs tringles.
29 The bronze that the people contributed weighed (5,310 pounds/2,425 kg.).
Le cuivre qu’on avait offert se monta à soixante-dix kikkar, plus deux mille quatre cents sicles.
30 With the bronze, Bezalel and his helpers made the bases for under the posts at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They also made the altar for burning sacrifices, the grating for it and the tools used with it,
On en fit les socles de l’entrée de la Tente d’assignation, l’autel de cuivre ainsi que son grillage de cuivre et tous les ustensiles de cet autel;
31 the bases for the posts [that supported the curtains] that surrounded the courtyard and the bases for the entrance to the courtyard, and the pegs for the Sacred Tent and for [the curtains around] the courtyard.
les socles au pourtour du parvis, ceux de l’entrée du parvis; toutes les chevilles du tabernacle et toutes celles du parvis, tout autour.
