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

“Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”

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

Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:

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 offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet 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،

All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.

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

They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make.”

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.

Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” 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 for all the work to make it, and too much.

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 wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they 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 one measure.

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

He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled 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 one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.

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 in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another.

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

He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled 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.

He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.

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 one measure.

16 ف َوَصَلَ خَمسَ سَتائِرَ مَعاً، وَسِتَّ سَتائِرَ مَعاً.

He coupled five curtains by themselves, and 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.

He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling.

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

He made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might 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 sea cow hides above.

20 و َصَنَعَ ألواحاً قائِمَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ لِلمَسْكَنِ.

He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

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

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

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

Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.

23 ص َنَعَ عِشرِينَ لَوحاً لِلجِهَةِ الجَنُوبِيَّةِ مِنَ الخَيْمَةِ.

He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.

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

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،

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 far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

28 و َلَوحَينِ لِزاوِيَتَي المَسْكَنِ مِنَ الخَلْفِ.

He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

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

They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners.

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

There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every 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 the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.

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

He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the 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 with gold, and made their rings of gold for places 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.

He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it 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. Their hooks were of gold. 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 door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

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

and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of brass.
