2 Mosebog 31
1 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Note that I have chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, [for special tasks].
2 Se, jeg har kaldet Bezaleel, en Søn af Uri, som var en Søn af Hur, af Juda Stamme, ved Navn.
3 Og jeg har opfyldt ham med Guds Aand, med Visdom og med Forstand og med Kundskab, og det i alle Haande Gerning,
I have caused him to be completely controlled/empowered by my Spirit, and I have given him special ability [to make things] and have enabled him to know how to do very skilled work.
4 til at udtænke Kunstværker, til at arbejde i Guld og i Sølv og i Kobber
He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.
5 og til at udskære Stene, til at indfatte, og til at udskære Træ, til at gøre alle Haande Gerning.
He can cut (jewels/valuable stones) and enclose them [in tiny gold settings/frames]. He can carve things from wood and do other skilled work.
6 Og jeg, se, jeg har medgivet ham Oholiab, Ahisamaks Søn af Dans Stamme, og i hvers Hjerte, som er forstandig, har jeg givet Visdom; og de skulle gøre alt det, som jeg har befalet dig:
Note that I have also appointed Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to work with him. I have also given special ability to other men, in order that they can make all the things that I have commanded you [to be made].
7 Nemlig Forsamlingens Paulun og Vidnesbyrdets Ark og Naadestolen, som er derpaa, og alt Redskab til Paulunet,
That includes the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest and its lid, all the other things that will be inside the Sacred Tent,
8 og Bordet med dets Redskab og den rene Lysestage med alt dens Redskab og Røgelsealteret

9 og Brændofferets Alter med alt dets Redskab og Kedelen med dens Fod
the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned and all the things that will be used with it, the washbasin and its base,
10 og Tjenestens Klæder og Arons, Præstens, hellige Klæder og hans Sønners Klæder til at gøre Præstetjeneste udi
all the beautiful sacred clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they work as priests,
11 og Salveolien og Røgelsen af vellugtende Urter til Helligdommen; efter alt det, som jeg har befalet dig, skulle de gøre det.
the oil for anointing, and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Place. [The skilled workers] must make all these things exactly as I have told you to do.”
12 Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
13 Og du, tal til Israels Børn og sig: I skulle visselig holde mine Sabbater; thi det er et Tegn imellem mig og imellem eder hos eders Efterkommere, at I skulle vide, at jeg er Herren, som helliger eder.
“Tell the Israeli people, ‘Obey my instructions regarding the (rest days/Sabbath days). Those days will remind you [and your descendants], throughout all future generations, that I, Yahweh, have (set you apart/chosen you) to be my people.
14 Derfor skulle I holde Sabbaten, thi den skal være eder hellig; den der vanhelliger den, skal visselig dødes; thi hver som gør Arbejde paa den, den Sjæl skal udryddes af sit Folks Midte.
You must obey [my rules about] the Sabbath days because they are holy/sacred. Those who treat those days in an irreverent way by working on those days must be executed [to show that] I no longer consider them to belong to my people.
15 Seks Dage skal al Gerning gøres, men paa den syvende Dag er Sabbatshvile, en Hellighed for Herren; hver den, som gør Arbejde paa Sabbatsdagen, skal visselig dødes.
You may work for six days [each week], but the seventh day [of each week] is a solemn day of rest, dedicated to me, Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on a day of rest is to be executed [because I no longer want them to be able to associate with my people].
16 Derfor skulle Israels Børn tage Vare paa Sabbaten, saa at de holde Sabbaten, hos deres Efterkommere til en evig Pagt.
You Israeli people must respect the rest day, and you [and your descendants] must (celebrate it/keep it holy) throughout all future generations. [It will remind you] of the agreement that I have made with you that will last forever.
17 Den er et evigt Tegn imellem mig og imellem Israels Børn; thi i seks Dage gjorde Herren Himmelen og Jorden, og paa den syvende Dag hvilede han og vederkvægede sig.
It will remind you Israeli people and remind me [of that agreement] because I, Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day I stopped doing that work and relaxed.’”
18 Og han gav Mose, der han havde endt at tale med ham paa Sinai Bjerg, to Vidnesbyrdets Tavler, Stentavler, skrevne med Guds Finger.
When Yahweh finished talking with Moses/me on the top of Sinai Mountain, he gave him/me the two stone slabs on which he had engraved his commandments with his own fingers.
