Exodus 31
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 Ecce, vocavi ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri filii Hur de tribu Juda,
“See, I have called by name Bezalel 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,
And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
4 ad excogitandum quidquid fabrefieri potest ex auro, et argento, et ære,
to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
5 marmore, et gemmis, et diversitate lignorum.
to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.
6 Dedique ei socium Ooliab filium Achisamech de tribu Dan. Et in corde omnis eruditi posui sapientiam: ut faciant cuncta quæ præcepi tibi,
Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion 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 Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—
8 mensamque et vasa ejus, candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis, et altaris thymiamatis,
the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9 et holocausti, et omnia vasa eorum, labrum cum basi sua,
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—
10 vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti, et filiis ejus, ut fungantur officio suo in sacris:
as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,
11 oleum unctionis, et thymiama aromatum in sanctuario, omnia quæ præcepi tibi, facient.
in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”
12 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD said to Moses,
13 Loquere filiis Israël, 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.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so 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.
Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people.
15 Sex diebus facietis opus: in die septimo sabbatum est, requies sancta Domino; omnis qui fecerit opus in hac die, morietur.
For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
16 Custodiant filii Israël sabbatum, et celebrent illud in generationibus suis. Pactum est sempiternum
The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.
17 inter me et filios Israël, signumque perpetuum; sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et in septimo ab opere cessavit.
It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”
18 Deditque Dominus Moysi, completis hujuscemodi sermonibus in monte Sinai, duas tabulas testimonii lapideas, scriptas digito Dei.
When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
