Exodus 30

Ἔξοδος

1 ΚΑΙ ποιήσεις θυσιαστήριον θυμιάματος ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων·

And you shall make the altar of incense of incorruptible wood.

2 καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὸ πήχεως τὸ μῆκος καὶ πήχεως τὸ εὖρος, τετράγωνον ἔσται, καὶ δύο πήχεων τὸ ὕψος· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσται τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ.

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 καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτὰ χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ, τὴν ἐσχάραν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς τοίχους αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ στρεπτὴν στεφάνην χρυσῆν κύκλῳ.

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 καὶ δύο δακτυλίους χρυσοῦς καθαροὺς ποιήσεις ὑπὸ τὴν στρεπτὴν στεφάνην αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὰ δύο κλίτη ποιήσεις ἐν τοῖς δυσὶ πλευροῖς· καὶ ἔσονται ψαλίδες ταῖς σκυτάλαις, ὥστε αἴρειν αὐτὸ ἐν αὐταῖς.

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 καὶ ποιήσεις σκυτάλας ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων καὶ καταχρυσώσεις αὐτὰς χρυσίῳ.

And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and shall gild them with gold.

6 καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ ἀπέναντι τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦ ὄντος ἐπὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῶν μαρτυρίων, ἐν οἶς γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἐκεῖθεν.

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 καὶ θυμιάσει ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ Ἀαρὼν θυμίαμα σύνθετον λεπτόν· τὸ πρωΐ πρωΐ, ὅταν ἐπισκευάζῃ τοὺς λύχνους, θυμιάσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ,

And Aaron shall burn upon it fine compound incense every morning; whenever he trims the lamps he shall burn incense upon it.

8 καὶ ὅταν ἐξάπτῃ Ἀαρὼν τοὺς λύχνους ὀψέ, θυμιάσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ· θυμίαμα ἐνδελεχισμοῦ διὰ παντὸς ἔναντι Κυρίου εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.

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 καὶ οὐκ ἀνοίσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ θυμίαμα ἕτερον, κάρπωμα, θυσίαν· καὶ σπονδὴν οὐ σπείσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

And you shall not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] an offering made by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and you shall not pour a drink-offering upon it.

10 καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ Ἀαρὼν ἐπὶ τῶν κεράτων αὐτοῦ ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ· ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸ εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων ἐστὶ Κυρίῳ.

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 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12 ἐὰν λάβῃς τὸν συλλογισμὸν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ δώσουσιν ἕκαστος λύτρα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ Κυρίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐν αὐτοῖς πτῶσις ἐν τῇ ἐπισκοπῇ αὐτῶν.

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 amongst them a destruction in the visiting of them.

13 καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃ δώσουσιν ὅσοι ἂν παραπορεύωνται τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν· τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ διδράχμου, ὅ ἐστιν κατὰ τὸ δίδραχμον τὸ ἅγιον· εἴκοσιν ὀβολοὶ τὸ δίδραχμον, τὸ δὲ ἥμισυ τοῦ διδράχμου εἰσφορὰ Κυρίῳ.

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 πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος εἰς τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, δώσουσι τὴν εἰσφορὰν Κυρίῳ.

Every one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards shall give the offering to the Lord.

15 ὁ πλουτῶν οὐ προσθήσει καὶ ὁ πενόμενος οὐκ ἐλαττονήσει ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ διδράχμου ἐν τῷ διδόναι τὴν εἰσφορὰν Κυρίῳ ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν.

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 καὶ λήψῃ τὸ ἀργύριον τῆς εἰσφορᾶς παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ δώσεις αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ κάτεργον τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ ἔσται τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ μνημόσυνον ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν.

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 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

18 ποίησον λουτῆρα χαλκοῦν καὶ βάσιν αὐτῷ χαλκῆν, ὥστε νίπτεσθαι· καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸν ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐκχεεῖς εἰς αὐτὸν ὕδωρ,

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 καὶ νίψεται Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας ὕδατι.

And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water from it.

20 ὅταν εἰσπορεύωνται εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, νίψονται ὕδατι καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνωσιν· ἢ ὅταν προσπορεύωνται πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον λειτουργεῖν καὶ ἀναφέρειν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ,

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 νίψονται τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας ὕδατι· ὅταν εἰσπορεύωνται εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, νίψονται ὕδατι, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνωσι· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς νόμιμον αἰώνιον, αὐτῷ καὶ ταῖς γενεαῖς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτόν.

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 καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23 καὶ σὺ λάβε ἡδύσματα, τὸ ἄνθος σμύρνης ἐκλεκτῆς πεντακοσίους σίκλους καὶ κινναμώμου εὐώδους τὸ ἥμισυ τούτου διακοσίους πεντήκοντα καὶ καλάμου εὐώδους διακοσίους πεντήκοντα

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 καὶ ἴρεως πεντακοσίους σίκλους τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ ἔλαιον ἐξ ἐλαιῶν εἲν

and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.

25 καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὸ ἔλαιον χρῖσμα ἅγιον, μύρον μυρεψικὸν τέχνῃ μυρεψοῦ· ἔλαιον χρῖσμα ἅγιον ἔσται.

And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered] by the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 καὶ χρίσεις ἐξ αὐτοῦ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

And you shall anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the tabernacle of witness,

27 καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ θυμιάματος

and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the altar of incense,

28 καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ πάντα αὐτοῦ τὰ σκεύη καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν λουτῆρα καὶ τὴν βάσιν αὐτοῦ

and the altar of whole burnt offerings and all its furniture, and the table and all its furniture, and the laver.

29 καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτά, καὶ ἔσται ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῶν ἁγιασθήσεται.

And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: every one that touches them shall be hallowed.

30 καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ χρίσεις καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτοὺς ἱερατεύειν μοι.

And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them that they may minister to me as priests.

31 καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ λαλήσεις λέγων· ἔλαιον ἄλειμμα χρίσεως ἅγιον ἔσται τοῦτο ὑμῖν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν.

And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be to you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations.

32 ἐπὶ σάρκα ἀνθρώπου οὐ χρισθήσεται, καὶ κατὰ τὴν σύνθεσιν ταύτην οὐ ποιήσετε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς ὡσαύτως· ἅγιόν ἐστι καὶ ἁγίασμα ἔσται ὑμῖν.

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 ὃς ἂν ποιήσῃ ὡσαύτως, καὶ ὃς ἂν δῷ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἀλλογενεῖ, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from amongst his people.

34 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· λάβε σεαυτῷ ἡδύσματα, στακτήν, ὄνυχα, χαλβάνην ἡδυσμοῦ καὶ λίβανον διαφανῆ, ἴσον ἴσῳ ἔσται·

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 καὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῷ θυμίαμα, μυρεψικὸν ἔργον μυρεψοῦ, μεμιγμένον, καθαρόν, ἔργον ἅγιον.

And they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the art of a perfumer, a pure holy work.

36 καὶ συγκόψεις ἐκ τούτων λεπτὸν καὶ θήσεις ἀπέναντι τῶν μαρτυρίων ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου, ὅθεν γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἐκεῖθεν· ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων ἔσται ὑμῖν.

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 θυμίαμα κατὰ τὴν σύνθεσιν ταύτην οὐ ποιήσετε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς· ἁγίασμα ἔσται ὑμῖν Κυρίῳ·

You⌃ shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord.

38 ὃς ἂν ποιήσῃ ὡσαύτως ὥστε ὀσφραίνεσθαι ἐν αὐτῷ, ἀπολεῖται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall perish from his people.
