And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Ecce, vocavi ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri filii Hur de tribu Juda,
Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
3 et implevi spiritu Dei, sapientia, et intelligentia et scientia in omni opere,
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
4 ad excogitandum quidquid fabrefieri potest ex auro, et argento, et ære,
To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5 marmore, et gemmis, et diversitate lignorum.
Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
6 Dedique ei socium Ooliab filium Achisamech de tribu Dan. Et in corde omnis eruditi posui sapientiam: ut faciant cuncta quæ præcepi tibi,
And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
7 tabernaculum fœderis, et arcam testimonii, et propitiatorium, quod super eam est, et cuncta vasa tabernaculi,
The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
8 mensamque et vasa ejus, candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis, et altaris thymiamatis,
And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
9 et holocausti, et omnia vasa eorum, labrum cum basi sua,
And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
10 vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti, et filiis ejus, ut fungantur officio suo in sacris:
The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
11 oleum unctionis, et thymiama aromatum in sanctuario, omnia quæ præcepi tibi, facient.
The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
12 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify 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 you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of 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 you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.
16 Custodiant filii Israël sabbatum, et celebrent illud in generationibus suis. Pactum est sempiternum
Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
17 inter me et filios Israël, signumque perpetuum; sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et in septimo ab opere cessavit.
Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.
18 Deditque Dominus Moysi, completis hujuscemodi sermonibus in monte Sinai, duas tabulas testimonii lapideas, scriptas digito Dei.
And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.
