Exodus 31
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Ecce, vocavi ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri filii Hur de tribu Iuda,
“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3 et implevi Spiritu Dei, sapientia, et intelligentia, et scientia in omni opere,
I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4 ad excogitandum quidquid fabrefieri potest ex auro, et argento, et ære,
to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 marmore, et gemmis, et diversitate lignorum.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6 Dedique ei socium Ooliab filium Achisamech de tribu Dan. Et in corde omnis eruditi posui sapientiam: ut faciant cuncta quæ præcepi tibi,
Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7 tabernaculum fœderis, et arcam testimonii, et propitiatorium, quod super eam est, et cuncta vasa tabernaculi,
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8 mensamque et vasa eius, candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis, et altaris thymiamatis,
the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
9 et holocausti, et omnia vasa eorum, labrum cum basi sua,
the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
10 vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti, et filiis eius, ut fungantur officio suo in sacris,
the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—
11 oleum unctionis, et thymiama aromatum in Sanctuario: omnia quæ præcepi tibi, facient.
the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
12 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Videte ut Sabbatum meum custodiatis: quia signum est inter me et vos in generationibus vestris: ut sciatis quia ego Dominus, qui sanctifico vos.
“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
14 Custodite sabbatum meum: sanctum est enim vobis: qui polluerit illud, morte morietur: qui fecerit in eo opus, peribit anima illius de medio populi sui.
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from amongst his people.
15 Sex diebus facietis opus: in die septimo sabbatum est, requies sancta Domino. Omnis qui fecerit opus in hac die, morietur.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16 Custodiant filii Israel Sabbatum, et celebrent illud in generationibus suis. Pactum est sempiternum
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 inter me et filios Israel, signumque perpetuum. Sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et in septimo ab opere cessavit.
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18 Deditque Dominus Moysi, completis huiuscemodi sermonibus in monte Sinai, duas tabulas testimonii lapideas, scriptas digito Dei.
When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
