Exodus 31

Ἔξοδος

1 ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 ἰδοὺ ἀνακέκλημαι ἐξ ὀνόματος τὸν Βεσελεὴλ τὸν τοῦ Οὐρείου τὸν Ὤρ, ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα,

Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.

3 καὶ ἐνέπλησα αὐτὸν πνεῦμα θεῖον σοφίας καὶ συνέσεως καὶ ἐπιστήμης ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ διανοεῖσθαι

And I have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,

4 καὶ ἀρχιτεκτονῆσαι, ἐργάζεσθαι τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸν χαλκὸν καὶ τὴν ὑάκινθον καὶ τὴν πορφύραν καὶ τὸ κόκκινον τὸ νηστὸν

and to frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,

5 καὶ τὰ λιθουργικὰ καὶ εἰς τὰ ἔργα τὰ τεκτονικὰ τῶν ξύλων, ἐργάζεσθαι κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἔργα.

and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.

6 καὶ ἐγὼ ἔδωκα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν Ἐλιὰβ τὸν τοῦ Ἀχισαμὰχ ἐκ φυλῆς Δὰν καὶ παντὶ συνετῷ καρδίᾳ δέδωκα σύνεσιν, καὶ ποιήσουσι πάντα ὅσα συνέταξά σοι,

And I have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed you, —

7 τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης καὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον τὸ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν διασκευὴν τῆς σκηνῆς

the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,

8 καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν τὴν καθαρὰν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς

and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,

9 καὶ τὸν λουτῆρα καὶ τὴν βάσιν αὐτοῦ

and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,

10 καὶ τὰς στολάς τὰς λειτουργικὰς Ἀαρὼν καὶ τὰς στολὰς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἱερατεύειν μοι

and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,

11 καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τῆς χρίσεως καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα τῆς συνθέσεως τοῦ ἁγίου· κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐνετειλάμην σοι, ποιήσουσι.

and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded you shall they make them.

12 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13 καὶ σὺ σύνταξον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· ὁρᾶτε, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου φυλάξεσθε· σημεῖόν ἐστι παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν ἐμοὶ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, ἵνα γνῶτε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων ὑμᾶς.

Do you also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and amongst you throughout your generations, that you⌃ may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.

14 καὶ φυλάξεσθε τὰ σάββατα, ὅτι ἅγιον τοῦτό ἐστι Κυρίῳ ὑμῖν· ὁ βεβηλῶν αὐτὸ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται· πᾶς ὃς ποιήσει ἐν αὐτῷ ἔργον, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

And you⌃ shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people.

15 ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔργα, τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα, ἀνάπαυσις ἁγία τῷ Κυρίῳ· πᾶς ὃς ποιήσει ἔργον τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, θανατωθήσεται.

Six days you shall do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death.

16 καὶ φυλάξουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὰ σάββατα ποιεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· διαθήκη αἰώνιος.

And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.

17 ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ σημεῖόν ἐστιν ἐν ἐμοὶ αἰώνιον· ὅτι ἓξ ἡμέραις ἐποίησε Κύριος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐπαύσατο καὶ κατέπαυσε.

It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.

18 Καὶ ἔδωκε Μωυσῇ, ἡνίκα κατέπαυσε λαλῶν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Σινά, τὰς δύο πλάκας τοῦ μαρτυρίου, πλάκας λιθίνας γεγραμμένας τῷ δακτύλῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ.

And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God.
