Exodus 31

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

١ وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى:

2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.

٢ «هَا أَنَا قَدْ دَعَوْتُ بَصَلْئِيلَ بْنَ أُوْرِي، حَفِيدَ حُورَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، بِاسْمِهِ،

3 I have filled Bezalel with my Spirit, to give him wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, for all kinds of craftsmanship,

٣ وَمَلأْتُهُ مِنْ رُوحِ اللهِ وَوَهَبْتُهُ حِكْمَةً وَمَهَارَةً وَمَقْدِرَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً فِي كُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ الْحِرَفِ،

4 to make artistic designs and to work in gold, silver, and bronze;

٤ وَلِابْتِكَارِ فُنُونِ التَّصْمِيمَاتِ الْمَصْنُوعَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحَاسِ،

5 also to cut and set stones and to carve wood—to do all kinds of craftsmanship.

٥ وَصَقْلِ الْجَوَاهِرِ وَتَرْصِيعِهَا، وَنِجَارَةِ الْخَشَبِ، وَلِيَكُونَ مُحْتَرِفاً لِكُلِّ صِنَاعَةٍ.

6 In addition to him, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, from the tribe of Dan. I have put skill into the hearts of all who are wise so that they may make all that I have commanded you. This includes

٦ كَمَا اخْتَرْتُ أَهُولِيآبَ بْنَ أَخِيسَامَاكَ مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ، لِيَكُونَ مُسَاعِداً لَهُ. وَكَذَلِكَ وَهَبْتُ جَمِيعَ الصُّنَّاعِ مَهَارَةً خَاصَّةً لِيَقُومُوا بِكُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ.

7 the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the atonement lid on the ark, and all the furniture of the tent—

٧ فِي صُنْعِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَتَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ وَالْغِطَاءِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَسَائِرِ آنِيَةِ الْخَيْمَةِ،

8 the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand with all its equipment, the incense altar,

٨ كَالْمَائِدَةِ وَآنِيَتِهَا، وَالْمَنَارَةِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ، وَكُلِّ آنِيَتِهَا، وَمَذْبَحِ الْبَخُورِ،

9 the altar for burnt offerings with all its equipment, and the large basin with its base.

٩ وَمَذْبَحِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَكُلِّ آنِيَتِهِ، وَحَوْضِ الاغْتِسَالِ وَقَاعِدَتِهِ.

10 This also includes the finely-woven garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest and those of his sons, reserved for me so that they may serve as priests.

١٠ وَكَذَلِكَ الثِّيَابِ الْمَنْسُوجَةِ، ثِيَابِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَثِيَابِ بَنِيهِ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ الْكِهَانَةِ،

11 This also includes the anointing oil and the sweet incense for the holy place. These craftsmen must make all these things just as I have commanded you.”

١١ وَدُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَالْبَخُورِ الْعَطِرِ لِلْقُدْسِ. فَيَعْمَلُونَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا بِمُقْتَضَى كُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ».

12 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

١٢ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

13 “Tell the Israelites: 'You must certainly keep Yahweh's Sabbath days, for these will be a sign between him and you throughout your people's generations so that you may know that he is Yahweh, who sets you apart for himself.

١٣ «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: احْفَظُوا أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي لأَنَّهَا عَلامَةُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، عَلَى مَرِّ الأَجْيَالِ، لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

14 So you must keep the Sabbath, for it must be treated by you as holy, reserved for him. Everyone who defiles it must surely be put to death. Whoever works on the Sabbath, that person must surely be cut off from his people.

١٤ احْفَظُوا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ لَكُمْ. مَنْ يُدَنِّسْهُ حَتْماً يَمُتْ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقُومُ فِيهِ بِعَمَلٍ، تُسْتَأْصَلُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ قَوْمِهَا.

15 Work will be done for six days, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of complete rest, holy before Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.

١٥ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُونَ، أَمَّا يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ فَهُوَ يَوْمُ عُطْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلٍ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ يُقْتَلُ حَتْماً.

16 Therefore the Israelites must keep the Sabbath. They must observe it throughout their people's generations as a permanent law.

١٦ لِيَحْفَظْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ السَّبْتَ وَيَحْتَفِلُوا بِهِ فِي كُلِّ أَجْيَالِهِمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا.

17 The Sabbath will always be a sign between Yahweh and the Israelites, for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'”

١٧ هُوَ بَيْنِي وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلامَةُ عَهْدٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهُ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ فَرَغَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَاسْتَرَاحَ».

18 When God had finished talking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him two tablets of covenant decrees, made of stone, written on by his own hand.

١٨ وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ اللهُ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، أَعْطَاهُ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ، وَهُمَا لَوْحَانِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مَكْتُوبَانِ بِإِصْبَعِ اللهِ.
