< Exodus 30 >

1 Facies quoque altare ad adolendum thymiama, de lignis setim,
And thou shall make an altar to burn incense upon. Thou shall make it of acacia wood.
2 habens cubitum longitudinis, et alterum latitudinis, id est, quadrangulum, et duos cubitos in altitudine. Cornua ex ipso procedent.
A cubit shall be the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it (it shall be foursquare), and two cubits shall be the height of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it.
3 Vestiesque illud auro purissimo, tam craticulam eius, quam parietes per circuitum, et cornua. Faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum,
And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it. And thou shall make to it a crown of gold round about.
4 et duos annulos aureos sub corona per singula latera, ut mittantur in eos vectes, et altare portetur.
And two golden rings thou shall make for it under the crown of it, upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it thou shall make them. And they shall be for places for staves with which to bear it.
5 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setim, et inaurabis.
And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 Ponesque altare contra velum, quod ante arcum pendet testimonii coram propitiatorio quo tegitur testimonium, ubi loquar tibi.
And thou shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 Et adolebit incensum super eo Aaron, suave fragrans, mane. Quando componet lucernas, incendet illud:
And Aaron shall burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 et quando collocabit eas ad vesperum, uret thymiama sempiternum coram Domino in generationes vestras.
And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.
9 Non offeretis super eo thymiama compositionis alterius, nec oblationem, et victimam, nec libabitis libamina.
Ye shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering. And ye shall pour no drink offering on it.
10 Et deprecabitur Aaron super cornua eius semel per annum, in sanguine quod oblatum est pro peccato, et placabit super eo in generationibus vestris. Sanctum sanctorum erit Domino.
And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year, with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. Once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Jehovah.
11 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Quando tuleris summam filiorum Israel iuxta numerum, dabunt singuli pretium pro animabus suis Domino, et non erit plaga in eis, cum fuerint recensiti.
When thou take the sum of the sons of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they shall give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah when thou number them, that there be no plague among them when thou number them.
13 Hoc autem dabit omnis qui transit ad nomen, dimidium sicli iuxta mensuram templi. Siclus viginti obolos habet. Media pars sicli offeretur Domino.
This they shall give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, (the shekel is twenty gerahs, ) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah.
14 Qui habetur in numero, a viginti annis et supra, dabit pretium.
Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Jehovah.
15 Dives non addet ad medium sicli, et pauper nihil minuet.
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
16 Susceptamque pecuniam, quæ collata est a filiis Israel, trades in usus tabernaculi testimonii, ut sit monimentum eorum coram Domino, et propitietur animabus eorum.
And thou shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Facies et labrum æneum cum basi sua ad lavandum: ponesque illud inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare. Et missa aqua,
Thou shall also make a laver of brass, and the base of it of brass for washing. And thou shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shall put water in it.
19 lavabunt in ea Aaron, et filii eius manus suas ac pedes,
And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.
20 quando ingressuri sunt tabernaculum testimonii, et quando accessuri sunt ad altare, ut offerant in eo thymiama Domino,
When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
21 ne forte moriantur. Legitimum sempiternum erit ipsi, et semini eius per successiones.
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen,
Moreover Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
23 dicens: Sume tibi aromata, primæ myrrhæ et electæ quingentos siclos, et cinnamomi medium, id est, ducentos quinquaginta siclos, calami similiter ducentos quinquaginta,
Take thou also to thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,
24 casiæ autem quingentos siclos in pondere sanctuarii, olei de olivetis mensuram hin:
and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
25 faciesque unctionis oleum sanctum, unguentum compositum opere unguentarii,
And thou shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 et unges ex eo tabernaculum testimonii, et arcam testamenti,
And thou shall anoint with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
27 mensamque cum vasis suis, et candelabrum, et utensilia eius, altaria thymiamatis,
and the table and all the vessels of it, and the lampstand and the vessels of it, and the altar of incense,
28 et holocausti, et universam supellectilem quæ ad cultum eorum pertinet.
and the altar of burnt offering with all the vessels of it, and the laver and the base of it.
29 Sanctificabisque omnia, et erunt Sancta sanctorum: qui tetigerit ea, sanctificabitur.
And thou shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 Aaron et filios eius unges, sanctificabisque eos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
And thou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
31 Filiis quoque Israel dices: Hoc oleum unctionis sanctum erit mihi in generationes vestras.
And thou shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
32 Caro hominis non ungetur ex eo, et iuxta compositionem eius non facietis aliud, quia sanctificatum est, et sanctum erit vobis.
Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition of it. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
33 Homo quicumque tale composuerit, et dederit ex eo, alieno, exterminabitur de populo suo.
Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
34 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Sume tibi aromata, stacten et onycha, galbanum boni odoris, et thus lucidissimum, æqualis ponderis erunt omnia:
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, of each shall there be a like weight.
35 faciesque thymiama compositum opere unguentarii, mistum diligenter, et purum, et sanctificatione dignissimum.
And thou shall make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36 Cumque in tenuissimum pulverem universa contuderis, pones ex eo coram tabernaculo testimonii, in quo loco apparebo tibi. Sanctum sanctorum erit vobis thymiama.
And thou shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee. It shall be to you most holy.
37 Talem compositionem non facietis in usus vestros, quia sanctum est Domino.
And the incense which thou shall make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the composition of it. It shall be to thee holy for Jehovah.
38 Homo quicumque fecerit simile, ut odore illius perfruatur, peribit de populis suis.
Whoever shall make like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.
