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

“Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

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

Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful person in whom the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it.

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

They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to 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 skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing,

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

and they said to Moses, “ The people are bringing much more than enough for the construction work which the Lord commanded us to perform.”

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 issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.

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

For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it. Construction Proceeds

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.

All the skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made 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 the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measurements.

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

He joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he joined to one another.

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

He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.

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

He made fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite each other.

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

He made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was a unit.

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

Then he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all.

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

The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had the same measurements.

16 ف َوَصَلَ خَمسَ سَتائِرَ مَعاً، وَسِتَّ سَتائِرَ مَعاً.

He joined 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.

Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.

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

He made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together so that it would be a unit.

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 dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above.

20 و َصَنَعَ ألواحاً قائِمَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ لِلمَسْكَنِ.

Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

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

Ten cubits was the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.

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

There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 ص َنَعَ عِشرِينَ لَوحاً لِلجِهَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ مِنَ الخَيْمَةِ.

He made 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 forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25 و َصَنَعَ عِشرِينَ لَوحاً لِلجِهَةِ الشَّمالِيَّةِ مِنَ المَسْكَنِ،

Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

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

and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

27 و َصَنَعَ لِظَهْرِ المَسْكَنِ مِنَ الغَربِ سِتَّةَ ألواحٍ.

For the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards.

28 و َلَوحَينِ لِزاوِيَتَي المَسْكَنِ مِنَ الخَلْفِ.

He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear.

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

They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its top to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners.

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

There were eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two under every board.

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

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

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

and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the rear side to the west.

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

He made the middle bar to pass through in the center of the boards from end to end.

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

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

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

Moreover, he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

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

He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them.

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

He made a screen for the doorway of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver;

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

and he made its five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; but their five sockets were of bronze.
