Exodus 30
1 Facies quoque altare ad adolendum thymiama, de lignis setim,
And you shall make the altar of incense of incorruptible wood.
2 habens cubitum longitudinis, et alterum latitudinis, id est, quadrangulum, et duos cubitos in altitudine. Cornua ex ipso procedent.
And you shall make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth: it shall be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns shall be of the same piece.
3 Vestiesque illud auro purissimo, tam craticulam eius, quam parietes per circuitum, et cornua. Faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum,
And you shall gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round about, and its horns; and you shall make for it a wreathen border of gold roundabout.
4 et duos annulos aureos sub corona per singula latera, ut mittantur in eos vectes, et altare portetur.
And you shall make under its wreathen border two rings of pure gold; you shall make it to the two corners on the two sides, and they shall be bearings for the staves, so as to bear it with them.
5 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setim, et inaurabis.
And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and shall gild them with gold.
6 Ponesque altare contra velum, quod ante arcum pendet testimonii coram propitiatorio quo tegitur testimonium, ubi loquar tibi.
And you shall set it before the veil that is over the ark of the testimonies, wherein I will make myself known to you from thence.
7 Et adolebit incensum super eo Aaron, suave fragrans, mane. Quando componet lucernas, incendet illud:
And Aaron shall burn upon it fine compound incense every morning; whenever he trims the lamps he shall burn incense upon it.
8 et quando collocabit eas ad vesperum, uret thymiama sempiternum coram Domino in generationes vestras.
And when Aaron lights the lamps in the evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their generations.
9 Non offeretis super eo thymiama compositionis alterius, nec oblationem, et victimam, nec libabitis libamina.
And you shall not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] and offering made by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and you shall not pour a drink-offering upon it.
10 Et deprecabitur Aaron super cornua eius semel per annum, in sanguine quod oblatum est pro peccato, et placabit super eo in generationibus vestris. Sanctum sanctorum erit Domino.
And once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is most holy to the Lord.
11 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Quando tuleris summam filiorum Israel iuxta numerum, dabunt singuli pretium pro animabus suis Domino, et non erit plaga in eis, cum fuerint recensiti.
If you take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of them, and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of them.
13 Hoc autem dabit omnis qui transit ad nomen, dimidium sicli iuxta mensuram templi. Siclus viginti obolos habet. Media pars sicli offeretur Domino.
And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty oboli [go to] the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the offering to the Lord.
14 Qui habetur in numero, a viginti annis et supra, dabit pretium.
Every one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards shall give the offering to the Lord.
15 Dives non addet ad medium sicli, et pauper nihil minuet.
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than the half didrachm in giving the offering to the Lord, to make atonement for your souls.
16 Susceptamque pecuniam, quae collata est a filiis Israel, trades in usus tabernaculi testimonii, ut sit monumentum eorum coram Domino, et propitietur animabus eorum.
And you shall take the money of the offering from the children of Israel, and shall give it for the service of the tabernacle of testimony; and it shall be to the children of Israel a memorial before the Lord, to make atonement for your souls.
17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Facies et labrum aeneum cum basi sua ad lavandum: ponesque illud inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare. Et missa aqua,
Make a brazen laver, and a brazen base for it, for washing; and you shall put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and you shall pour forth water into it.
19 lavabunt in ea Aaron, et filii eius manus suas ac pedes,
And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water from it.
20 quando ingressuri sunt tabernaculum testimonii, et quando accessuri sunt ad altare, ut offerant in eo thymiama Domino,
Whenever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness, they shall wash themselves with water, so they shall not die, whenever they advance to the altar to do service and to offer the whole burnt offerings to the Lord.
21 ne forte moriantur. legitimum sempiternum erit ipsi, et semini eius per successiones.
They shall wash their hands and feet with water, whenever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness; they shall wash themselves with water, that they die not; and it shall be for them a perpetual statute, for him and his posterity after him.
22 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23 dicens: Sume tibi aromata, primae myrrhae et electae quingentos siclos, et cinnamomi medium, id est, ducentos quinquaginta siclos, calami similiter ducentos quinquaginta,
Do you also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling calamus,
24 casiae autem quingentos siclos in pondere sanctuarii, olei de olivetis mensuram hin:
and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
25 faciesque unctionis oleum sanctum, unguentum compositum opere unguentarii,
And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered] by the are of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 et unges ex eo tabernaculum testimonii, et arcam testamenti,
And you shall anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the tabernacle of witness,
27 mensamque cum vasis suis, et candelabrum, et utensilia eius, altaria thymiamatis,
and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the altar of incense,
28 et holocausti, et universam supellectilem quae ad cultum eorum pertinet.
and the altar of whole burnt offerings and all its furniture, and the table and all its furniture, and the laver.
29 Sanctificabisque omnia, et erunt Sancta sanctorum: qui tetigerit ea, sanctificabitur.
And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: every one that touches them shall be hallowed.
30 Aaron et filios eius unges, sanctificabisque eos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them that they may minister to me as priests.
31 Filiis quoque Israel dices: Hoc oleum unctionis sanctum erit mihi in generationes vestras.
And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be to you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations.
32 Caro hominis non ungetur ex eo, et iuxta compositionem eius non facietis aliud, quia sanctificatum est, et sanctum erit vobis.
On man's flesh it shall not be poured, and you shall not make [any] for yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be holiness to you.
33 Homo quicumque tale composuerit, et dederit ex eo, alieno, exterminabitur de populo suo.
Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people.
34 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Sume tibi aromata, stacten et onycha, galbanum boni odoris, et thus lucidissimum, aequalis ponderis erunt omnia:
And the Lord said to Moses, Take for yourself sweet herbs, stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be an equal weight of each.
35 faciesque thymiama compositum opere unguentarii, mistum diligenter, et purum, et sanctificatione dignissimum.
And they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the are of a perfumer, a pure holy work.
36 Cumque in tenuissimum pulverem universa contuderis, pones ex eo coram tabernaculo testimonii, in quo loco apparebo tibi. Sanctum sanctorum erit vobis thymiama.
And of these you shall beat some small, and you shall put it before the testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, whence I will make myself known to you: it shall be to you a most holy incense.
37 Talem compositionem non facietis in usus vestros, quia sanctum est Domino.
You shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord.
38 Homo quicumque fecerit simile, ut odore illius perfruatur, peribit de populis suis.
Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall perish from his people.
