Exodus 31

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

1 وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى:

2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

2 «هَا أَنَا قَدْ دَعَوْتُ بَصَلْئِيلَ بْنَ أُوْرِي، حَفِيدَ حُورَ مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، بِاسْمِهِ،

3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

3 وَمَلأْتُهُ مِنْ رُوحِ اللهِ وَوَهَبْتُهُ حِكْمَةً وَمَهَارَةً وَمَقْدِرَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً فِي كُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ الْحِرَفِ،

4 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,

4 وَلِابْتِكَارِ فُنُونِ التَّصْمِيمَاتِ الْمَصْنُوعَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحَاسِ،

5 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.

5 وَصَقْلِ الْجَوَاهِرِ وَتَرْصِيعِهَا، وَنِجَارَةِ الْخَشَبِ، وَلِيَكُونَ مُحْتَرِفاً لِكُلِّ صِنَاعَةٍ.

6 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:

6 كَمَا اخْتَرْتُ أَهُولِيآبَ بْنَ أَخِيسَامَاكَ مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ، لِيَكُونَ مُسَاعِداً لَهُ. وَكَذَلِكَ وَهَبْتُ جَمِيعَ الصُّنَّاعِ مَهَارَةً خَاصَّةً لِيَقُومُوا بِكُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ.

7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—

7 فِي صُنْعِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَتَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ وَالْغِطَاءِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَسَائِرِ آنِيَةِ الْخَيْمَةِ،

8 the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,

8 كَالْمَائِدَةِ وَآنِيَتِهَا، وَالْمَنَارَةِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ، وَكُلِّ آنِيَتِهَا، وَمَذْبَحِ الْبَخُورِ،

9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—

9 وَمَذْبَحِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ وَكُلِّ آنِيَتِهِ، وَحَوْضِ الاغْتِسَالِ وَقَاعِدَتِهِ.

10 as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

10 وَكَذَلِكَ الثِّيَابِ الْمَنْسُوجَةِ، ثِيَابِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَثِيَابِ بَنِيهِ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ الْكِهَانَةِ،

11 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.”

11 وَدُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَالْبَخُورِ الْعَطِرِ لِلْقُدْسِ. فَيَعْمَلُونَ هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا بِمُقْتَضَى كُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ».

12 And the LORD said to Moses,

12 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

13 “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.

13 «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: احْفَظُوا أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي لأَنَّهَا عَلامَةُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، عَلَى مَرِّ الأَجْيَالِ، لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

14 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.

14 احْفَظُوا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ لَكُمْ. مَنْ يُدَنِّسْهُ حَتْماً يَمُتْ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقُومُ فِيهِ بِعَمَلٍ، تُسْتَأْصَلُ تِلْكَ النَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ قَوْمِهَا.

15 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.

15 فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُونَ، أَمَّا يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ فَهُوَ يَوْمُ عُطْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَقُومُ بِعَمَلٍ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ يُقْتَلُ حَتْماً.

16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.

16 لِيَحْفَظْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ السَّبْتَ وَيَحْتَفِلُوا بِهِ فِي كُلِّ أَجْيَالِهِمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا.

17 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.’”

17 هُوَ بَيْنِي وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلامَةُ عَهْدٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهُ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ فَرَغَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَاسْتَرَاحَ».

18 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.

18 وَعِنْدَمَا فَرَغَ اللهُ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، أَعْطَاهُ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ، وَهُمَا لَوْحَانِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مَكْتُوبَانِ بِإِصْبَعِ اللهِ.
