2 Mosebog 31
1 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses 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 Bezalel, en Søn af Hurs Søn Uri, af Judas Stamme
3 og fyldt ham med Guds Ånd, med Kunstsnilde, Kløgt og Indsigt i alskens Arbejde
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 og til at arbejde i Guld, Sølv og Kobber
He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.
5 og med Udskæring af Sten til Indfatning og med Træskærerarbejde, kort sagt til at udføre alskens Arbejde.
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 se, jeg har givet ham Oholiab, Ahisamaks Søn, af Dans Stamme til Medhjælper, og alle kunstforstandige Mænds Hjerte har jeg udrustet med Kunstsnilde, for at de kan udføre alt, hvad jeg har pålagt 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 Åbenbaringsteltet, Vidnesbyrdets Ark, Sonedækket derpå og alt Teltets Tilbehør,
That includes the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest and its lid, all the other things that will be inside the Sacred Tent,
8 Bordet med dets Tilbehør, Lysestagen af purt Guld med alt dens Tilbehør, Røgelsealteret,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the pure gold lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar [for burning] incense,
9 Brændofferalteret med alt dets Tilbehør og Vandkummen med dens Fodstykke,
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 Pragtklæderne, de hellige Klæder til Præsten Aron og hans Sønners Klædet til Brug ved Præstetjenesten,
all the beautiful sacred clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they work as priests,
11 Salveolien og den vellugtende Røgelse til Helligdommen. Ganske som jeg har pålagt dig, skal de udføre 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 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
13 Du skal tale til Israeliterne og sige: Fremfor alt skal I holde mine Sabbater, thi Sabbaten er et Tegn mellem mig og eder fra Slægt til Slægt, for at I skal kende, at jeg HERREN er den, der 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 I skal holde Sabbaten, thi den skal være eder hellig; den, som vanhelliger den, skal lide Døden, ja enhver, som udfører noget Arbejde på den, det Menneske skal udryddes af sin Slægt.
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 I seks Dage må der arbejdes, men på den syvende Dag skal I holde en fuldkommen Hviledag, helliget HERREN; enhver, som udfører Arbejde på Sabbatsdagen, skal lide Døden.
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 Israeliterne skal holde Sabbaten, så at de fejrer Sabbaten fra Slægt til Slægt som en evig gyldig 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 skal være et Tegn til alle Tider mellem mig og Israeliterne. Thi i seks Dage gjorde HERREN Himmelen og Jorden, men på den syvende 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 Da han nu var færdig med at tale til Moses på Sinaj Bjerg, overgav han ham Vidnesbyrdets to Tavler, Stentavler, der var beskrevet 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.
