Exodus 30

1 “You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.

1 وَتَصْنَعُ مَذْبَحاً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ لإِحْرَاقِ الْبَخُورِ،

2 It is to be square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece.

2 يَكُونُ ذَا سَطْحٍ مُرَبَّعٍ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَيَكُونُ ارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَينِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ)، وَلَهُ قُرُونٌ مَنْحُوتَةٌ فِي ذَاتِ خَشَبِهِ.

3 Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.

3 وَتُغَشِّي سَطْحَهُ وَجَوانِبَهُ وَقُرُونَهُ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَطَوِّقْهُ بِإِطَارٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ.

4 And make two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.

4 وَثَبِّتْ عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ تَحْتَ الإِطَارِ، حَلْقَتَيْنِ مَصْنُوعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، لِتَضَعَ فِيهِمَا عَصَوَيْنِ يُحْمَلُ الْمَذْبَحُ بِهِمَا.

5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

5 أَمَّا الْعَصَوَانِ فَاصْنَعْهُمَا مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ الْمُغَشَّى بِذَهَبٍ.

6 Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony—before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony—where I will meet with you.

6 وَتَضَعُ هَذَا الْمَذْبَحَ أَمَامَ الْحِجَابِ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِتَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ (الَّذِي فِيهِ لَوْحَا الْشَّرِيعَةِ) مُقَابِلَ الْغِطَاءِ الَّذِي فَوْقَ التَّابُوتِ حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكَ.

7 And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.

7 فَيَحْرِقُ هَرُونُ عَلَيْهِ بَخُوراً عَطِراً فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ، عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ لإِصْلاحِ فَتَائِلِ الْمَنَارَةِ.

8 When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come.

8 وَكَذَلِكَ يَحْرِقُهُ أَيْضاً عِنْدَمَا يُضِيءُ هَرُونُ الْمَنَارَةَ فِي الْمَسَاءِ. فَيَظَلُّ الْبَخُورُ مُوْقَداً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.

9 On this altar you must not offer unauthorized incense or a burnt offering or grain offering; nor are you to pour a drink offering on it.

9 لَا تَحْرِقْ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَذْبَحِ بَخُوراً غَرِيباً وَلا مُحْرَقَةً أَوْ تَقْدِمَةً، وَلا تَسْكُبُوا عَلَيْهِ سَكِيباً.

10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD.”

10 وَيُقَرِّبُ هَرُونُ كَفَّارَةً عَلَى قُرُونِهِ مَرَّةً فِي السَّنَةِ فَيَرُشُّ مِنْ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الْخَطِيئَةِ الْكَفَّارِيَّةِ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّةً فِي السَّنَةِ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ قُدْسُ أَقْدَاسٍ للرَّبِّ.

11 Then the LORD said to Moses,

11 وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى:

12 “When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered.

12 «عِنْدَمَا تَقُومُ بِإِحْصَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُقَدِّمُ كُلُّ مَنْ تُحْصِيهِ فِدْيَةً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ للرَّبِّ لِئَلّا يُصِيبَهُمْ وَبَأٌ عِنْدَ إحْصَائِهِمْ.

13 Everyone who crosses over to those counted must pay a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.

13 فَيُعْطِي كُلُّ مُحْصىٍ نِصْفَ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ تَقْدِمَةً للرَّبِّ.

14 Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.

14 كُلُّ مَنْ جَازَ عَلَيْهِ الإِحْصَاءُ مِنِ ابْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، يُعْطِي تَقْدِمَةً للرَّبِّ.

15 In making the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives, the rich shall not give more than a half shekel, nor shall the poor give less.

15 فَلا يُعْطِي الْغَنِيُّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ نِصْفِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوِ سِتَّةِ جِرَامَاتٍ) وَلا يَدْفَعُ الْفَقِيرُ أَقَلَّ مِنْهَا لأَنَّهَا تَقْدِمَةُ الرَّبِّ، لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ.

16 Take the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD to make atonement for your lives.”

16 وَتَسْتَخْدِمُ فِضَّةَ الْكَفَّارَةِ هَذِهِ الَّتِي تَجْمَعُهَا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِنَفَقَاتِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. فَتَكُونُ تَذْكَاراً. لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ».

17 And the LORD said to Moses,

17 وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى:

18 “You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Set it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it,

18 «اصْنَعْ حَوْضاً نُحَاسِيًّا لِلاغْتِسَالِ ذَا قَاعِدَةٍ نُحَاسِيَّةٍ، وَأَقِمْهُ بَيْنَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَامْلأْهُ بِالْمَاءِ،

19 with which Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet.

19 لِيَغْسِلَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ مِنْهُ،

20 Whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the LORD, they must wash with water so that they will not die.

20 لَدَى دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِلْقِيَامِ بِخِدْمَةِ تَقْدِيمِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا إِذَا لَمْ يَغْتَسِلُوا.

21 Thus they are to wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this shall be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”

21 لِيَغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا. فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لِهَرُونَ وَنَسْلِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ».

22 Then the LORD said to Moses,

22 ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

23 “Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane,

23 «خُذْ لَكَ أَطْيَبَ الْعُطُورِ: خَمْسَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةَ كِيلو جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنَ الْمُرِّ النَّقِيِّ السَّائِلِ، وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ كِيلو جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنَ الْقِرْفَةِ، وَمَئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ كِيلو جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنْ قَصَبِ الذَّرِيرَةِ.

24 500 shekels of cassia—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin of olive oil.

24 وَخَمْسَ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنَ السَّلِيخَةِ وَهِيناً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ لِتْرَاتٍ) مِنْ زَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ النَّقِيِّ.

25 Prepare from these a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be a sacred anointing oil.

25 وَاصْنَعْ مِنْهَا دُهْنَ مَسْحَةٍ مُقَدَّساً طَيِّباً شَذِيًّا صَنْعَةَ عَطَّارٍ مَاهِرٍ، فَيَكُونَ دُهْنَ مَسْحَةٍ مُقَدَّساً.

26 Use this oil to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony,

26 تَمْسَحُ بِهِ خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَتَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ،

27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the altar of incense,

27 وَالْمَائِدَةَ مَعَ كُلِّ آنِيَتِهَا، وَالْمَنَارَةَ وَآنِيَتَهَا، وَمَذْبَحَ الْبَخُورِ،

28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.

28 وَمَذْبَحَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَسَائِرَ آنِيَتِهِ، وَالْحَوْضَ وَقَاعِدَتَهُ.

29 You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

29 تُقَدِّسُهَا فَتُصْبِحُ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ، وَيُصْبِحُ كُلُّ مَا مَسَّهَا مُقَدَّساً.

30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.

30 وَتَمْسَحُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ أَيْضاً وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

31 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘This will be My sacred anointing oil for the generations to come.

31 وَتَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: إِنَّ هَذَا الدُّهْنَ يَكُونُ لِي دُهْناً مُقَدَّساً لِلْمَسْحَةِ عَلَى مَرِّ أَجْيَالِكُمْ

32 It must not be used to anoint an ordinary man, and you must not make anything like it with the same formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.

32 لَا يُسْكَبُ عَلَى جَسَدِ إِنْسَانٍ، وَلا تَسْتَخْدِمُوا مَقَادِيرَهُ فِي صِنَاعَةِ طِيبٍ مِثْلِهِ، فَهُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُقَدَّساً عِنْدَكُمْ.

33 Anyone who mixes perfume like it or puts it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.’”

33 كُلُّ مَنْ رَكَّبَ مِثْلَهُ أَوْ دَهَنَ بِهِ غَرِيباً مِنْ غَيْرِ الْكَهَنَةِ يُسْتَأْصَلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ قَوْمِهِ».

34 The LORD also said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—in equal measures,

34 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ لَكَ أَطْيَاباً، أَجْزَاءَ مُتَسَاوِيَةً مِنَ الْمَيْعَةِ وَالأَظْفَارِ وَالْقِنَّةِ الْعَطِرَةِ وَاللُّبَانِ الزَّكِيِّ، وَاخْلِطْهَا،

35 and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.

35 صَانِعاً مِنْهَا بَخُوراً عَطِراً مُمَلَّحاً نَقِيًّا مُقَدَّساً، كَمَا يَفْعَلُ أَمْهَرُ الْعَطَّارِينَ.

36 Grind some of it into fine powder and place it in front of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you.

36 وَتَسْحَقُ بَعْضاً مِنْهُ وَتَجْعَلُهُ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكَ. فَيَكُونُ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ عِنْدَكُمْ.

37 You are never to use this formula to make incense for yourselves; you shall regard it as holy to the LORD.

37 وَلا يَسْتَخْدِمُ أَحَدٌ مَقَادِيرَهُ فِي صِنَاعَةِ بَخُورٍ مِثْلِهِ. يَكُونُ مُقَدَّساً عِنْدَكَ لِلرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ.

38 Anyone who makes something like it to enjoy its fragrance shall be cut off from his people.”

38 كُلُّ مَنْ يُرَكِّبُ مِثْلَهُ لِيَشُمَّهُ يُسْتَأْصَلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ قَوْمِهِ».
