1 « فَليَعمَلْ بَصَلْئِيلُ وَأُهُولِيآبُ، وَكُلُّ ماهِرٍ أعطاهُ اللهُ المَهارَةَ وَالذَّكاءَ، فِي بِناءِ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ بِحَسَبِ كُلِّ ما أمَرَ اللهُ.»

Bezalel and Aholiab and every wisehearted man in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary shall work according to all that the Lord has commanded.

2 ف َدَعا مُوسَى بَصَلْئِيلَ وَأُهُولِيآبَ وَكُلَّ ماهِرٍ أعطاهُ اللهُ المَهارَةَ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ حَثَّهُ قَلبُهُ عَلَى المَجِيءٍ لِلعَمَلِ.

And Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab and every able and wisehearted man in whose mind the Lord had put wisdom and ability, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work;

3 و َأخَذُوا مِنْ مُوسَى جَمِيعَ التَّقدِمَةِ الَّتِي أحضَرَها الشَّعبِ لِأجلِ خِدمَةِ المَكَانِ المُقَدَّسِ. وَكانُوا ما يَزالُونَ يُحضِرُونَ تَقدِماتٍ فِي كُلِّ صَباحٍ.

And they received from Moses all the freewill offerings which the Israelites had brought for doing the work of the sanctuary, to prepare it for service. And they continued to bring him freewill offerings every morning.

4 و َأتَى كُلُّ المَهَرَةِ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَقُومُونَ بِعَمَلِ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ، كُلُّ واحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي كانَ يَقُومُ بِهِ،

And all the wise and able men who were doing the work on the sanctuary came, every man from the work he was doing,

5 و َقالُوا لِمُوسَى: «إنَّ الشَّعبَ يُحضِرُونَ أكثَرَ مِنْ حاجَةِ العَمَلِ الَّذِي أمَرَ اللهُ بِعَمَلِهِ.»

And they said to Moses, The people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the Lord commanded to do.

6 ح ِينَئِذٍ، أمَرَ مُوسَى بِأنْ يُعلِنُوا فِي المُخَيَّمِ أنَّ عَلَى الرِّجالِ وَالنِّساءِ أنْ لا يُحْضِرُوا شَيئاً بَعْدُ لِتَقدِمَةِ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ. فَتَوَقَّفَ النّاسُ عَنْ إحضارِ المَزِيدِ.

So Moses commanded and it was proclaimed in all the camp, Let no man or woman do anything more for the sanctuary offering. So the people were restrained from bringing,

7 و َكانَوا قَدْ أحضَرُوا أكثَرَ مِنْ حاجَةِ العَمَلِ. بناءُ المَسكَنِ المُقَدّس

For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work and more.

8 ف َصَنَعَ جَمِيعُ العامِلِينَ المَهَرَةِ المَسْكَنَ المُقَدَّسَ مِنْ عَشَرِ سَتائِرٍ مِنْ كِتّانٍ ناعِمٍ مَبْرُومٍ، وَأقمِشَةٍ زَرقاءَ وَبَنَفسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمراءَ مُطَرِّزةٍ بِمَهارَةٍ عَلَى شَكلِ مَلائِكَةِ الكَرُوبِيمَ.

And all the able and wisehearted men among them who did the work on the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim skillfully worked on them.

9 و َكانَ طُولُ كُلِّ سِتارَةٍ ثَمانٍ وَعِشْرُينَ ذِراعاً، وَعَرْضُها أربَعَ أذرُعٍ. فَلِجَمِيعِ السَتائِرِ مَقايِيسُ مُتَساوِيَةٌ.

The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and its breadth four cubits; all the curtains were one size.

10 و َوَصَلَ السَّتائِرَ الخَمْسَ الأولَى مَعاً، وَالخَمْسَ الثّانِيَةَ مَعاً.

coupled five curtains one to another and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

11 ث ُمَّ صَنَعَ عُرَىً مِنْ قُماشٍ أزرَقَ عَلَى حافَّةِ سَتائِرِ المَجْمُوعَةِ الأولَى، وَكَذَلِكَ عَلَى حافَّةِ سَتائِرِ المَجْمُوعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ.

And he made loops of blue on the outer edge of the last curtain in the first set; this he did also on the inner edge of the first curtain in the second set.

12 ف َصَنَعَ خَمسِينَ عُروَةً عَلَى السِّتارَةِ الأُولَى، وَخَمْسِينَ عُروَةً عَلَى سِتارَةِ المَجمُوعَةِ الثّانِيَةِ. وَكَانَتِ العُرَى مُتَقابِلَةً.

Fifty loops he made in the one curtain and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which was the second set; the loops were opposite one another.

13 و َصَنَعَ خَمسِينَ مِشبَكاً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لِوَصلِ السَّتائِرَ مَعاً بِالمَشابِكِ. فَصارَ المَسْكَنُ مُتَّصِلاً كَقِطْعَةٍ واحِدَةٍ.

And he made fifty clasps of gold and coupled the curtains together with the clasps so that the tabernacle became one unit.

14 و َصَنَعَ سَتائِرَ مِنْ شَعرِ الماعِزِ لِلغِطاءِ الَّذِي فَوقَ المَسْكَنِ، عَدَدُها إحدَى عَشْرَةَ سِتارَةً.

And he made eleven curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle.

15 ط ُولُ كُلُّ سِتارَةٍ ثَلاثُونَ ذِراعاً وَعَرضُها أرْبَعُ أذْرُعَ. فَكانَتِ لِلسَّتائِرِ الإحدَى عَشْرَةَ مَقايِيسُ مُتَساوِيَةٌ.

The length of one curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits was the breadth; the eleven curtains were of equal size.

16 ف َوَصَلَ خَمسَ سَتائِرَ مَعاً، وَسِتَّ سَتائِرَ مَعاً.

And he coupled five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.

17 و َصَنَعَ خَمسِينَ عُروَةً عَلَى حافَّةِ أقصَى سِتارَةٍ عَلَى طَرَفِ المَجمُوعَةِ الأُولَى، وَخَمْسِينَ عُروَةً عَلَى حافَّةِ السِّتارَةِ الَّتِي سَتُوصَلُ بِها.

And he made fifty loops on the outmost edge of the curtain to be coupled and fifty loops he made on the inner edge of the second curtain to be coupled.

18 و َصَنَعَ خَمسِينَ مِشبَكاً مِنْ بُرونْزٍ لِيَصِلَ الخَيمَةَ فَتَصيرَ قِطْعَةً واحِدَةً.

He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together into one whole.

19 و َصَنَعَ غِطاءً لِلْخَيمَةِ مِنْ جِلدِ الكِباشِ المَدبُوغِ، وَغِطاءً آخَرَ خارِجِيّاً مِنَ الجِلدِ الفاخِرِ.

He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins tanned red, and above it a covering of dolphin or porpoise skins.

20 و َصَنَعَ ألواحاً قائِمَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ لِلمَسْكَنِ.

He made boards of acacia wood for the upright framework of the tabernacle.

21 ط ُولُ كُلِّ لَوحٍ عَشْرُ أذْرُعٍ، وَعَرضُهُ ذِراعٌ وَنِصْفٌ.

The length of a board was ten cubits and the breadth one cubit and a half.

22 و َكانَ لِجَمِيعِ ألواحِ المَسْكَنِ فَتحَتانِ لِوَصلِ أحَدِها بِالآخَرِ. هَكَذا صَنَعَ جَمِيعَ ألواحِ المَسْكَنِ:

Each board had two tenons (projections) to fit into a mortise to form a clutch; he did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 ص َنَعَ عِشرِينَ لَوحاً لِلجِهَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ مِنَ الخَيْمَةِ.

And he made thus the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side,

24 و َصَنَعَ أربَعِينَ قاعِدَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ تَحتَ الألْواحِ العِشرِينَ: قاعِدَتَينِ لِفُتحَتَيِّ كُلِّ لَوْحٍ.

And he made under the twenty boards forty sockets or bases of silver, two sockets under one board for its two tenons or hands, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25 و َصَنَعَ عِشرِينَ لَوحاً لِلجِهَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ مِنَ المَسْكَنِ،

For the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards

26 و َتَحْتَها أربَعِينَ قاعِدَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ: قاعِدَتَينِ تَحتَ كُلِّ لَوحٍ.

And their forty sockets or bases of silver, two sockets under each board.

27 و َصَنَعَ لِظَهْرِ المَسْكَنِ مِنَ الغَربِ سِتَّةَ ألواحٍ.

And for the rear or west side of the tabernacle he made six boards.

28 و َلَوحَينِ لِزاوِيَتَي المَسْكَنِ مِنَ الخَلْفِ.

And two boards he made for each corner of the tabernacle in the rear.

29 ف َكانَ اللَوحانِ مُنفَصِلَينِ مِنَ الأسفَلِ، مُتَّصِلَينِ فِي الأعلَى داخِلَ الحَلَقَةِ الأُولَى. هَكَذا كانَ اللَّوحانِ عَلى الزّاوِيَتَينِ.

They were separate below but linked together at the top with one ring; thus he made both of them in both corners.

30 ف َكانَ المَجْمُوعُ ثَمانِيَةَ ألواحٍ، لَها سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ قاعِدَةً: قاعِدَتَينِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ لَوحٍ.

There were eight boards with sixteen sockets or bases of silver, and under each board two sockets.

31 و َصَنَعَ عَوارِضَ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ، خَمسَ عَوارِضَ لِجِهَةٍ مِنْ جِهاتِ المَسْكَنِ،

He made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 و َخَمسَ عَوارِضَ لِلجِهَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَخَمسَ عَوارِضَ لِظَهْرِ المَسْكَنِ مِنَ الغَربِ.

And five bars for the boards of its other side, and five bars for the boards at the rear or west side.

33 و َوَصَلَ العارِضَةَ الوُسطَى لِتَمْتَدَّ بَينَ الألواحِ مِنَ الطَّرَفِ الأوَّلِ إلَى الطَّرَفِ الآخَرِ.

And he made the middle bar pass through halfway up the boards from one end to the other.

34 ث ُمَّ غَشَّى جَمِيعَ الألواحِ بِالذَّهَبِ، وَصَنَعَ لَها حَلَقاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ كَبُيُوتٍ لِلعَوارِضِ. وَكَذَلِكَ غَشَّى العَوارِضَ بِالذَّهَبِ. السِّتارَةُ الدّاخليّة

He overlaid the boards and the bars with gold and made their rings of gold as places for the bars.

35 و َصَنَعَ سِتارةً مِنْ أقمِشَةٍ زَرقاءَ وَبَنَفسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمراءَ وَكِتّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ مُطَرَّزةٍ بِمَهارَةٍ عَلَى شَكلِ مَلائِكَةِ الكَرُوبِيمَ.

And he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet and fine twined linen, with cherubim skillfully worked.

36 و َعَلَّقَها عَلَى أربَعَةِ أعمِدَةٍ مَصنُوعَةٍ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ مُغَشَّاةٍ بِالذَّهَبِ وَلَها مَشابِكُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، تَقِفُ عَلَى أربَعِ قَواعِدَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ.

For he made four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four sockets or bases of silver.

37 و َصَنَعَ سِتارةً مُزَخرَفَةً مِنْ أقمِشَةٍ زَرقاءَ وَبَنَفسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمراءَ وَكِتّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ، لِأجلِ مَدْخَلِ الخَيمَةِ.

And he made a screen for the tent door of blue, purple, and scarlet and fine twined linen, embroidered,

38 و َصَنَعَ لِلسِّتارَةِ خَمسَةَ أعمِدَةٍ وَغَشّاها بِالذَّهَبِ، وَصَنَعَ لَها مَشابِكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَخَمسَ قَواعِدَ مِنْ بُرونْزٍ.

And he made the five pillars of it with their hooks, and overlaid their ornamental tops and joinings with gold, but their five sockets were of bronze.
