Exodus 35

1And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said, These are the words which the Lord has spoken for you to do them.Καὶ συνήθροισε Μωυσῆς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπεν, οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι, οὓς εἶπε Κύριος ποιῆσαι αὐτούς.

2Six days shall you perform works, but on the seventh day shall be rest—a holy sabbath—a rest for the Lord: every one that does work on it, let him die.Ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔργα, τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ κατάπαυσις· ἅγια, σάββατα· ἀνάπαυσις Κυρίῳ· πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν ἔργον ἐν αὐτῇ, τελευτάτω.

3You shall not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day; I am the Lord.Οὐ καύσετε πῦρ ἐν πάσῃ κατοικίᾳ ὑμῶν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων· ἐγὼ Κύριος.

4And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord has appointed you, saying,Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος, λέγων,

5Take of yourselves an offering for the Lord: every one that engages in his heart * shall bring the first fruits to the Lord; gold, silver, brass,λάβετε παρʼ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἀφαίρεμα Κυρίῳ· πᾶς ὁ καταδεχόμενος τῇ καρδίᾳ, οἴσουσι τὰς ἀπαρχὰς Κυρίῳ, χρυσίον, ἀργύριον, χαλκὸν,

6blue, purple, double scarlet spun, and fine linen spun, and goats' hair,ὑάκινθον, πορφύραν, κόκκινον διπλοῦν διανενησμένον, καὶ βύσσον κεκλωσμένην, καὶ τρίχας αἰγείας,

7and rams' skins dyed red, and skins dyed blue, and incorruptible wood,καὶ δέρματα κριῶν ἠρυθροδανωμένα, καὶ δέρματα ὑακινθινα, καὶ ξύλα ἄσηπτα,

8and sardine stones, and stones for engraving for the † shoulder-piece and full-length robe.

9And every man that is wise in heart among you, let him come and work all things whatever the Lord has commanded.καὶ λίθους σαρδίου, καὶ λίθους εἰς τὴν γλυφὴν εἰς τὴν ἐπωμίδα καὶ τὸν ποδήρη.

10The tabernacle, and the cords, and the coverings, and the rings, and the bars, and the posts,Καὶ πᾶς σοφὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἐλθὼν ἐργαζέσθω πάντα ὅσα συνέταξε Κύριος·

11and the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and its propitiatory, and the veil,Τὴν σκηνὴν, καὶ τὰ παραρύματα, καὶ τὰ κατακαλύμματα, καὶ τὰ διατόνια, καὶ τοὺς μοχλοὺς, καὶ τοὺς στύλους,

12and the curtains of the court, and its posts,καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ ἱλαστήριον αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα,

12aκαὶ τὰ ἱστία τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ τοὺς στύλους αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς λίθους τοὺς τῆς σμαράγδου, καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τοῦ χρίσματος,

13and the emerald stones,καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς,

14and the incense, and the anointing oil,καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν τοῦ φωτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς,

15and the table and all its furniture,

16and the candlestick for the light and all its furniture,καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ,

17and the altar and all its furniture;

18and the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments in which they shall do service;

19and the garments of priesthood for the sons of Aaron and the anointing oil, and the compound incense.καὶ τὰς στολὰς τὰς ἁγίας Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ τὰς στολὰς ἐν αἷς λειτουργήσουσιν ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ τοὺς χιτῶνας τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀαρὼν τῆς ἱερατίας, καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τοῦ χρίσματος, καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα τῆς συνθέσεως.

20And all the congregation of the children of Israel went out from Moses. And they brought, they whose heart prompted them, and they to whoever it seemed good in their mind, each and offering:Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Μωυσῆ.

21and they brought an offering to the Lord for all the works of the tabernacle of witness, and all its services, and for all the robes of the sanctuary.Καὶ ἤνεγκαν ἕκαστος, ὧν ἔφερεν ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, καὶ ὅσοις ἔδοξε τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, ἀφαίρεμα· καὶ ἤνεγκαν ἀφαίρεμα Κυρίῳ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ εἰς πάντα τὰ κάτεργα αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς πάσας τὰς στολὰς τοῦ ἁγίου.

22And the men, even every one to whom it seemed good in his heart, brought from the women, even brought seals and ear-rings, and finger-rings, and ‡ necklaces, and bracelets, every article of gold.Καὶ ἤνεγκαν οἱ ἄνδρες παρὰ τῶν γυναικῶν, πᾶς ᾧ ἔδοξε τῇ διανοίᾳ, ἤνεγκαν σφραγίδας, καὶ ἐνώτια, καὶ δακτυλίους, καὶ ἐμπλόκια, καὶ περιδέξια, πᾶν σκεῦος χρυσοῦν.

23And all as many as brought ornaments of gold to the Lord, and with whoever fine linen was found; and they brought skins dyed blue, and rams' skins dyed red.Καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἤνεγκαν ἀφαιρέματα χρυσίου Κυρίῳ, καὶ παρʼ ᾧ εὑρέθη βύσσος· καὶ δέρματα ὑακίνθινα καὶ δέρματα κριῶν ἠρυθροδανωμένα ἤνεγκαν.

24And every one that offered an offering § brought silver and brass, the offerings to the Lord; and they with whom was found incorruptible wood; and they brought offerings for all the works of the preparation.Καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀφαιρῶν ἀφαίρεμα, ἤνεγκαν ἀργύριον καὶ χαλκὸν, τὰ ἀφαιρέματα Κυρίῳ· καὶ παρʼ οἷς εὑρέθη ξύλα ἄσηπτα· καὶ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῆς παρασκευῆς ἤνεγκαν.

25And every woman skilled in her heart to spin with her hands, ** brought spun articles, the blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine linen.Καὶ πᾶσα γυνὴ σοφὴ τῇ διανοίᾳ ταῖς χερσὶ νήθειν, ἤνεγκαν νενησμένα, τὴν ὑάκινθον, καὶ τὴν πορφύραν, καὶ τὸ κόκκινον, καὶ τὴν βύσσον.

26And all the women to whom it seemed good in their heart in their wisdom, spun the goats' hair.Καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες, αἷς ἔδοξε τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν σοφίᾳ, ἔνησαν τὰς τρίχας τὰς αἰγείας.

27And the rulers brought the emerald stones, and the stones for setting in the ephod, and the oracle,Καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἤνεγκαν τοὺς λίθους τῆς σμαράγδου, καὶ τοὺς λίθους τῆς πληρώσεως εἰς τὴν ἐπωμίδα, καὶ τὸ λογεῖον,

28and the compounds both for the anointing oil, and the composition of the incense.καὶ τὰς συνθέσεις, καὶ εἰς τὸ ἔλαιον τῆς χρίσεως, καὶ τὴν συνθεσιν τοῦ θυμιάματος.

29And every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses—they the children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord.Καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ, ὧν ἔφερεν ἡ διάνοια αὐτῶν εἰσελθόντας ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ ἔργα, ὅσα συνέταξε Κύριος ποιῆσαι αὐτὰ διὰ Μωυσῆ, ἤνεγκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀφαίρεμα Κυρίῳ.

30And Moses said to the children of Israel, Behold, God has called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda,Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, Ἰδοὺ ἀνακέκληκεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐξ ὀνόματος τὸν Βεσελεὴλ τὸν τοῦ Οὐρείου τὸν Ὢρ, ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα,

31and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding, and knowledge of all things,καὶ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα θεῖον σοφίας καὶ συνέσεως, καὶ ἐπιστήμης πάντων,

32to labor †† skillfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass,ἀρχιτεκτονεῖν κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῆς ἀρχιτεκτονίας, ποιεῖν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸν χαλκόν,

33and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom.καὶ λιθουργῆσαι τὸν λίθον, καὶ κατεργάζεσθαι τὰ ξύλα, καὶ ποιεῖν ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ σοφίας.

34And God gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.Καὶ προβιβάσαι γε ἔδωκεν ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτῷ τε, καὶ τῷ Ἐλιὰβ τῷ τοῦ Ἀχισαμὰκ, ἐκ φυλῆς Δάν·

35And God filled them with wisdom, understanding and perception, to understand to work all the works of the sanctuary, and to weave the woven and embroidered work with scarlet and fine linen, to do all work of curious workmanship and embroidery.Καὶ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτοὺς σοφίας, συνέσεως, διανοίας, πάντα συνιέναι ποιῆσαι τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ἁγίου, καὶ τὰ ὑφαντὰ καὶ ποικιλτὰ ὑφάναι τῷ κοκκίνῳ, καὶ τῇ βύσσῳ, ποιεῖν πᾶν ἔργον ἀρχιτεκτονίας, ποικιλίας.
