Exodus 31
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 Ecce, vocavi ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri filii Hur de tribu Iuda,
'See, I have called by name Bezalel 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 I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 ad excogitandum quidquid fabrefieri potest ex auro, et argento, et ære,
to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 marmore, et gemmis, et diversitate lignorum.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
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 appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all that are wise-hearted I have put 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 ark-cover that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent;
8 mensamque et vasa eius, candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis, et altaris thymiamatis,
and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;
9 et holocausti, et omnia vasa eorum, labrum cum basi sua,
and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
10 vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti, et filiis eius, ut fungantur officio suo in sacris,
and the plaited garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office;
11 oleum unctionis, et thymiama aromatum in Sanctuario: omnia quæ præcepi tibi, facient.
and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.'
12 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
13 Loquere filiis Israel, 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.
'Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying: Verily ye shall keep My sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the LORD who sanctify 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.
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore, for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
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 a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Custodiant filii Israel Sabbatum, et celebrent illud in generationibus suis. Pactum est sempiternum
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 inter me et filios Israel, signumque perpetuum. Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et in septimo ab opere cessavit.
It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested.'
18 Deditque Dominus Moysi, completis huiuscemodi sermonibus in monte Sinai, duas tabulas testimonii lapideas, scriptas digito Dei.
And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
