Exodus 36
1 Fecit ergo Beseleel, et Ooliab, et omnis vir sapiens, quibus dedit Dominus sapientiam et intellectum, ut scirent fabre operari quæ in usus Sanctuarii necessaria sunt, et quæ præcepit Dominus.
“Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD has commanded.”
2 Cumque vocasset eos Moyses, et omnem eruditum virum, cui dederat Dominus sapientiam, et qui sponte sua obtulerant se ad faciendum opus,
Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it.
3 tradidit eis universa donaria filiorum Israel. Qui cum instarent operi, quotidie mane vota populus offerebat.
They received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning.
4 Unde artifices venire compulsi,
All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did.
5 dixerunt Moysi: Plus offert populus quam necessarium est.
They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.”
6 Iussit ergo Moyses præconis voce cantari: Nec vir nec mulier quidquam offerat ultra in opere Sanctuarii. Sicque cessatum est a muneribus offerendis,
Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.
7 eo quod oblata sufficerent et superabundarent.
For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and too much.
8 Feceruntque omnes corde sapientes ad explendum opus tabernaculi, cortinas decem de bysso retorta, et hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, opere vario, et arte polymita:
All the wise-hearted men amongst those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skilful workman.
9 quarum una habebat in longitudine vigintiocto cubitos, et in latitudine quattuor. Una mensura erat omnium cortinarum.
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10 Coniunxitque cortinas quinque, alteram alteri, et alias quinque sibi invicem copulavit.
He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11 Fecit et ansas hyacinthinas in ora cortinæ unius ex utroque latere, et in ora cortinæ alterius similiter,
He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.
12 ut contra se invicem venirent ansæ, et mutuo iungerentur.
He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another.
13 Unde et quinquaginta fudit circulos aureos, qui morderent cortinarum ansas, et fieret unum tabernaculum.
He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
14 Fecit et saga undecim de pilis caprarum ad operiendum tectum tabernaculi:
He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
15 unum sagum in longitudine habebat cubitos triginta, et in latitudine cubitos quattuor: unius mensuræ erant omnia saga:
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
16 quorum quinque iunxit seorsum, et sex alia separatim.
He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 Fecitque ansas quinquaginta in ora sagi unius, et quinquaginta in ora sagi alterius, ut sibi invicem iungerentur.
He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling.
18 Et fibulas æneas quinquaginta, quibus necteretur tectum, ut unum pallium ex omnibus sagis fieret.
He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
19 Fecit et opertorium tabernaculi de pellibus arietum rubricatis: aliudque desuper velamentum de pellibus ianthinis.
He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
20 Fecit et tabulas tabernaculi de lignis setim stantes.
He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
21 Decem cubitorum erat longitudo tabulæ unius: et unum ac semis cubitum latitudo retinebat.
Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board.
22 Binæ incastraturæ erant per singulas tabulas, ut altera alteri iungeretur. Sic fecit in omnibus tabernaculi tabulis.
Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
23 E quibus viginti ad plagam meridianam erant contra Austrum,
He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.
24 cum quadraginta basibus argenteis. Duæ bases sub una tabula ponebantur ex utraque parte angulorum, ubi incastraturæ laterum in angulis terminantur.
He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25 Ad plagam quoque tabernaculi, quæ respicit ad Aquilonem, fecit viginti tabulas,
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards
26 cum quadraginta basibus argenteis, duas bases per singulas tabulas.
and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 Contra Occidentem vero, id est, ad eam partem tabernaculi, quæ mare respicit, fecit sex tabulas,
For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 et duas alias per singulos angulos tabernaculi retro:
He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.
29 quæ iunctæ erant a deorsum usque sursum, et in unam compaginem pariter ferebantur. Ita fecit ex utraque parte per angulos:
They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners.
30 ut octo essent simul tabulæ, et haberent bases argenteas sedecim, binas scilicet bases sub singulis tabulis.
There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets.
31 Fecit et vectes de lignis setim, quinque ad continendas tabulas unius lateris tabernaculi,
He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 et quinque alios ad alterius lateris coaptandas tabulas: et extra hos, quinque alios vectes ad occidentalem plagam tabernaculi contra mare.
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.
33 Fecit quoque vectem alium, qui per medias tabulas ab angulo usque ad angulum perveniret.
He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other.
34 Ipsa autem tabulata deauravit, fusis basibus earum argenteis. Et circulos eorum fecit aureos, per quos vectes induci possent: quos et ipsos laminis aureis operuit.
He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 Fecit et velum de hyacintho, et purpura, vermiculo, ac bysso retorta, opere polymitario, varium atque distinctum:
He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skilful workman.
36 et quattuor columnas de lignis setim, quas cum capitibus deauravit, fusis basibus earum argenteis.
He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.
37 Fecit et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi ex hyacintho, purpura, vermiculo, byssoque retorta, opere plumarii:
He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
38 et columnas quinque cum capitibus suis, quas operuit auro, basesque earum fudit æneas.
and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
