Exodus 31
1 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].
主はモーセに言われた、
「見よ、わたしはユダの部族に属するホルの子なるウリの子ベザレルを名ざして召し、
3 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.
これに神の霊を満たして、知恵と悟りと知識と諸種の工作に長ぜしめ、
4 He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.
工夫を凝らして金、銀、青銅の細工をさせ、
5 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.
また宝石を切りはめ、木を彫刻するなど、諸種の工作をさせるであろう。
6 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].
見よ、わたしはまたダンの部族に属するアヒサマクの子アホリアブを彼と共ならせ、そしてすべて賢い者の心に知恵を授け、わたしがあなたに命じたものを、ことごとく彼らに造らせるであろう。
7 That includes the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest and its lid, all the other things that will be inside the Sacred Tent,
すなわち会見の幕屋、あかしの箱、その上にある贖罪所、幕屋のもろもろの器、
8 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,
机とその器、純金の燭台と、そのもろもろの器、香の祭壇、
9 the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned and all the things that will be used with it, the washbasin and its base,
燔祭の祭壇とそのもろもろの器、洗盤とその台、
10 all the beautiful sacred clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they work as priests,
編物の服、すなわち祭司の務をするための祭司アロンの聖なる服、およびその子たちの服、
11 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.”
注ぎ油、聖所のための香ばしい香などを、すべてわたしがあなたに命じたように造らせるであろう」。
12 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
主はまたモーセに言われた、
13 “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.
「あなたはイスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『あなたがたは必ずわたしの安息日を守らなければならない。これはわたしとあなたがたとの間の、代々にわたるしるしであって、わたしがあなたがたを聖別する主であることを、知らせるためのものである。
14 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.
それゆえ、あなたがたは安息日を守らなければならない。これはあなたがたに聖なる日である。すべてこれを汚す者は必ず殺され、すべてこの日に仕事をする者は、民のうちから断たれるであろう。
15 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].
六日のあいだは仕事をしなさい。七日目は全き休みの安息日で、主のために聖である。すべて安息日に仕事をする者は必ず殺されるであろう。
16 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.
ゆえに、イスラエルの人々は安息日を覚え、永遠の契約として、代々安息日を守らなければならない。
17 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.’”
これは永遠にわたしとイスラエルの人々との間のしるしである。それは主が六日のあいだに天地を造り、七日目に休み、かつ、いこわれたからである』」。
18 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.
主はシナイ山でモーセに語り終えられたとき、あかしの板二枚、すなわち神が指をもって書かれた石の板をモーセに授けられた。
