1 “ You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

«اصْنَعْ مَذْبَحاً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ لإحراقِ البَخُورِ،

2 I ts length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

طُولُهُ ذِراعٌ وَعَرضُهُ ذِراعٌ، أي مُرَبَّعَ القاعِدَةِ، وَارتِفاعُهُ ذِراعانِ. وَلْتَكُنْ زَواياهُ البارِزَةُ قِطعَةً واحِدَةً مَعَهُ.

3 Y ou shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

غَشِّ سَطحَهُ وَجَوانِبَهُ وَزَواياهُ البارِزَةَ بِالذَّهَبِ النَقِيِّ. وَاصْنَعْ لَهُ حافَّةً حَوالَيهِ.

4 Y ou shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

«ثُمَّ اصْنَعْ لَهُ حَلَقَتَينِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ تَحتَ حافَّتِهِ عَلَى جانِبَيهِ. تُسْتَخْدَمُ الحَلَقَتانِ لِوَضعِ العَصَوَينِ لِحَملِهِ.

5 Y ou shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

اصْنَعِ العَصَوَينِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، وَغَشِّهِما بِالذَّهَبِ.

6 Y ou shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

ضَعْ مَذْبَحَ البَخُورِ أمامَ السِّتارَةِ الَّتِي تَتَدَلَّى أمامَ غِطاءِ صُندُوقِ العَهدِ حَيثُ مَوعِدِي مَعَكُمْ.

7 A aron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

«عَلَى هارُونَ أنْ يُحْرِقَ بَخُوراً طَيِّباً عَلَى هَذا المَذْبَحِ. يُحْرِقَهُ كُلَّ صَباحٍ حِينَ يَصلِحُ السُّرُجَ.

8 W hen Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

وَكَذَلِكَ حِينَ يُصلِحُ هارُونُ السُّرُجَ عِندَ المَساءِ. يُحْرِقُ البَخُورَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ يَومِيّاً جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.

9 Y ou shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

لَكِنْ لا تُقَدِّمْ عَلَيهِ بَخُوراً غَرِيباً أوْ ذَبيحَةً صاعِدَةً أوْ تَقدِمَةً مِنْ حُبُوبٍ. وَلا تَسكُبْ عَلَيهِ سَكيباً.

10 A aron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh.”

«وَيَقُومُ هارُونَ بِطَقْسِ التَّكفِيرِ عَلَى زِوايا المَذبَحِ مَرَّةً فِي السَّنَةِ. يَضَعُ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةِ كَفَّارَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ عَلَى الزَّوايا البارِزَةِ لِمَذْبَحِ البَخُورِ. لِيُصْنَعْ هَذا فِي جَمِيعِ أجيالِكُمْ. إنَّهُ قُدْسُ أقداسٍ للهِ.» ضَرِيبَةُ الفِديَة

11 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

وَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ إلَى مُوسَى فَقالَ:

12 “ When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

«حِينَ تُحْصِي بَني إسْرائِيلَ لِتُسَجِّلَهُمْ، يَدفَعُ كُلُّ مَنْ يُحصَى فِديَةً عَنْ حَياتِهِ للهِ ، كَي لا يَأتِيَ وَباءٌ عَلَيهِمْ حِينَ يَتِمُّ إحصاؤُهُمْ.

13 T hey shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs ); half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

فَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحْصَى يُقَدِّمُ نِصْفَ مِثْقالٍ بِحَسَبِ القِياسِ الرَّسميِّ – يساوِي المِثْقالُ عِشرِينَ قِيراطاً – فَليُقَدِّمْ نِصْفَ مِثْقالٍ تَقدِمَةً للهِ.

14 E veryone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحْصَى مِنْ سِنِّ عِشرِينَ سَنَةً فَأكثَرَ، يُقَدِّمُ تَقدِمَةً للهِ.

15 T he rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

لا يَدْفَعُ الغَنِيِّ أكثَرَ مِنْ نِصْفِ مِثْقالٍ. وَلا يَدْفَعُ الفَقِيرُ أقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، حِينَ يُقَدِّمُونَ تَقدِمَةَ اللهِ كَفّارَةً لِحَياتِهِمْ.

16 Y ou shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.”

خُذْ مالَ الفِدْيَةِ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَخَصِّصْهُ لِخِدْمَةِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ تَذْكاراً لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ الَّذِي فَدَى حَياتِكُمْ.» حَوضُ الاغتِسال

17 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

وَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ إلَى مُوسَى فَقالَ:

18 “ You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

«اصْنَعْ حَوضاً برونْزِيّاً لِلاغتِسالِ، قاعِدَتُهُ بُرونْزِيَّةٌ. وَضَعْهُ بَينَ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَالمَذبَحِ، وَاملأهُ ماءً.

19 A aron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

فَعَلَى هارُونَ وَأبْنائِهِ أنْ يَغسِلُوا أيدِيَهُمْ وَأرجُلَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ الماءِ

20 W hen they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

حِينَ يَأتُونَ إلَى خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ. لِيَغتَسِلُوا بِالماءِ كَي لا يَمُوتُوا. وَكَذَلِكَ حِينَ يَقتَرِبُونَ إلَى المَذبَحِ لِيَخدِمُوا بِتَقدِيمِ تَقدِمَةٍ عَلَى النّارِ للهِ ،

21 S o they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”

فَلْيَغْسِلُوا أيدِيَهُمْ وَأرجُلَهُمْ كَي لا يَمُوتُوا. فَليُحفَظْ هَذا العِيدُ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ كَعادَةٍ دائِمَةٍ لِهارُونَ وَلِنَسلِهِ.» زَيتُ المَسحَة

22 M oreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

وَتَكَلَّمَ اللهُ إلَى مُوسَى فَقالَ:

23 “ Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

«خُذْ أطيَبَ العُطُورِ: خَمْسَ مِئَةِ مِثْقالٍ مِنَ المُرِّ السّائِلِ، مِئَتينِ وَخَمْسِينَ مِثْقالاً مِنَ القِرفَةِ العَطِرَةِ، مِئِتينِ وَخَمْسِينَ مِثْقالاً مِنْ قَصَبِ الذَّرِيرَةِ،

24 a nd of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

خَمْسَ مِئَةِ مِثْقالٍ مِنَ السَّلِيخَةِ بِحَسَبِ الوَزنِ الرَّسمِيِّ، وَمِقدارَ وِعاءٍ مِنْ زَيتِ الزَّيتُونِ.

25 Y ou shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

«وَاصْنَعْ مِنْ كُلِّ هَذِهِ زَيتاً مُقَدَّساً لِلمَسحَةِ مَمزُوجاً مَعاً كَالعِطرِ. وَسَيَكُونُ هَذا زَيتاً مُقَدَّساً لِلمَسحَةِ.

26 Y ou shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

استَخْدِمْهُ لِمَسحِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ وَصُندُوقِ لَوحَيِّ الشَّهادَةِ،

27 t he table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

وَالمائِدَةِ وَأدَواتِها وَالمَنارَةِ وَأدَواتِها وَمَذْبَحِ البَخُورِ،

28 t he altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

وَمَذبَحِ الذَّبائِحِ الصّاعِدَةِ وَكُلَّ أدَواتِهِ وَحَوضَ الماءِ وَقاعِدَتِهِ.

29 Y ou shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

تُقَدِّسُها فَتَصِيرَ نَصِيباً مُخَصَّصاً لِلكَهَنَةِ بِالكامِلِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَلمِسُها يَتَقَدَّسُ.

30 Y ou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.

«وَامْسَحْ هارُونَ وَأبناءَهُ لِكَي تُخَصِّصَهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

31 Y ou shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

وَتَكَلَّمْ إلَى بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: سَيَكُونُ هَذا لِي زَيتَ المَسحَةِ المُقَدَّسَ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.

32 I t shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you.

فَلا يَنبَغي أنْ يُستَخدَمَ كَعِطرٍ عادِيٍّ، وَلا يَجُوزُ أنْ تَصنَعُوا عِطراً مِثلَهُ. فَهُوَ مُخَصَّصٌ لِلاستِخدامِ كَما أمَرَ اللهُ.

33 W hoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”

كُلُّ مَنْ يُرَكِّبُ زَيتاً مِثلَهُ، أوْ يَضَعُ مِنهُ عَلَى شَخصٍ غَيْرِ مُؤهَّلٍ، يُقطَعُ مِنَ الشَّعبِ.» البَخُور

34 Y ahweh said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: there shall be an equal weight of each;

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «خُذْ كَمِّيّاتٍ مُتَساوِيَةً مِنَ العُطُورِ: مَيْعَةً وَأظفاراً وَقِنَّةً عَطِرَةً وَلُباناً نَقِيّاً،

35 a nd you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

وَاصْنَعْ مِنها بَخُوراً عَطِراً مُمَلَّحاً نَقِيّاً مُقَدَّساً، كَما يَفعَلُ أمهَرُ العَطّارِينَ.

36 a nd you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

اسْحَقْ بَعضَهُ ناعِماً جِدّاً، وَضَعْ مِنهُ أمامَ صُندُوقِ الشَّهادَةِ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ حَيثُ أُعلِنُ ذاتِي لَكَ. يَكُونُ هَذا البَخُورُ قُدسَ أقداسٍ لَكُمْ.

37 T he incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

اصنَعُوا البَخُورَ بمَقادِيرِهِ، لَكِنْ لا تَصنَعُوهُ لِأنفُسِكُمْ، بَلْ يَكُونُ مُخَصَّصاً للهِ.

38 W hoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

وَمَنْ يَصنَعُ البَخُورَ نَفسَهُ لِيَشُمَّهُ، يُقطَعُ مِنَ الشَّعبِ.»
