Liber Exodus, 36

1. Fecit ergo Beseleel et Ooliab et omnis vir sapiens, quibus dedit Dominus sapientiam et intellectum, ut scirent fabre operari, quae in usus sanctuarii necessaria sunt et quae praecepit Dominus.

1. Bez'alel and Oho'liab and every able man in whom the LORD has put ability and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded."

2. Cumque vocasset Moyses Beseleel et Ooliab et omnem eruditum virum, cui dederat Dominus sapientiam, omnes, qui sponte sua obtulerant se ad faciendum opus,

2. And Moses called Bez'alel and Oho'liab and every able man in whose mind the LORD had put ability, every one whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work;

3. acceperunt ab ipso universa donaria, quae attulerant filii Israel ad faciendum opus in cultum sanctuarii. Ipsi autem cotidie mane donaria ei offerebant.

3. and they received from Moses all the freewill offering which the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,

4. Unde omnes sapientes artifices venerunt singuli de opere suo pro sanctuario

4. so that all the able men who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,

5. et dixerunt Moysi: “Plus offert populus quam necessarium est operi, quod Dominus iussit facere”.

5. and said to Moses, "The people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the LORD has commanded us to do."

6. Iussit ergo Moyses praeconis voce per castra clamari: “Nec vir nec mulier quidquam offerat ultra pro omni opere sanctuario”. Sicque cessatum est a muneribus offerendis,

6. So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, "Let neither man nor woman do anything more for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing;

7. eo quod oblata sufficerent et superabundarent.

7. for the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

8. Feceruntque omnes corde sapientes inter artifices habitaculi cortinas decem de bysso retorta et hyacintho et purpura coccoque, cum cherubim intextis arte polymita;

8. And all the able men among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains; they were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet stuff, with cherubim skilfully worked.

9. quarum una habebat in longitudine viginti octo cubitos et in latitudine quattuor: una mensura erat omnium cortinarum.

9. The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measure.

10. Coniunxitque cortinas quinque alteram alteri et alias quinque sibi invicem copulavit.

10. And he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.

11. Fecit et ansas hyacinthinas in ora cortinae unius in extremitate iuncturae et in ora cortinae extremae in iunctura altera similiter.

11. And he made loops of blue on the edge of the outmost curtain of the first set; likewise he made them on the edge of the outmost curtain of the second set;

12. Quinquagenas ansas fecit pro utraque cortina, ut contra se invicem venirent ansae et mutuo iungerentur.

12. he made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite one another.

13. Unde et quinquaginta fudit fibulas aureas, quae morderent cortinarum ansas, et fieret unum habitaculum.

13. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps; so the tabernacle was one whole.

14. Fecit et saga undecim de pilis caprarum pro tentorio super habitaculum;

14. He also made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.

15. unum sagum in longitudine habebat cubitos triginta et in latitudine cubitos quattuor: unius mensurae erant omnia saga.

15. The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains had the same measure.

16. Quorum quinque iunxit seorsum et sex alia separatim.

16. He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17. Fecitque ansas quinquaginta in ora sagi ultimi iuncturae unius et quinquaginta in ora sagi iuncturae alterius, ut sibi invicem iungerentur;

17. And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain.

18. et fecit fibulas aeneas quinquaginta, quibus necteretur tentorium, ut esset unum.

18. And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be one whole.

19. Fecit et opertorium tentorio de pellibus arietum rubricatis aliudque desuper velamentum de pellibus delphini.

19. And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins.

20. Fecit et tabulas habitaculi de lignis acaciae stantes.

20. Then he made the upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.

21. Decem cubitorum erat longitudo tabulae unius, et unum ac semis cubitum latitudo retinebat.

21. Ten cubits was the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.

22. Bini pedes erant per singulas tabulas, ut altera alteri iungeretur: sic fecit in omnibus tabulis habitaculi.

22. Each frame had two tenons, for fitting together; he did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.

23. E quibus viginti ad plagam meridianam erant contra austrum

23. The frames for the tabernacle he made thus: twenty frames for the south side;

24. cum quadraginta basibus argenteis. Duae bases sub singulis tabulis ponebantur pro duabus pedibus.

24. and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under another frame for its two tenons.

25. Ad plagam quoque habitaculi, quae respicit ad aquilonem, fecit viginti tabulas

25. And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames

26. cum quadraginta basibus argenteis: duas bases per singulas tabulas.

26. and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame and two bases under another frame.

27. Contra occidentem vero, id est ad eam partem habitaculi quae mare respicit, fecit sex tabulas

27. And for the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames.

28. et duas alias per singulos angulos habitaculi retro;

28. And he made two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear.

29. quae gemellae erant a deorsum usque sursum in unam compaginem. Ita fecit duas tabulas in duobus angulis,

29. And they were separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring; he made two of them thus, for the two corners.

30. ut octo essent simul tabulae et haberent bases argenteas sedecim: binas scilicet bases sub singulis tabulis.

30. There were eight frames with their bases of silver: sixteen bases, under every frame two bases.

31. Fecit et vectes de lignis acaciae quinque ad continendas tabulas unius lateris habitaculi

31. And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,

32. et quinque alios ad alterius lateris coaptandas tabulas; et extra hos quinque alios vectes ad occidentalem plagam habitaculi contra mare.

32. and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle at the rear westward.

33. Fecit autem vectem medium, qui per medias tabulas ab una extremitate usque ad alteram perveniret.

33. And he made the middle bar to pass through from end to end halfway up the frames.

34. Ipsa autem tabulata deauravit. Et anulos eorum fecit aureos, per quos vectes induci possent; quos et ipsos laminis aureis operuit.

34. And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35. Fecit et velum de hyacintho et purpura coccoque ac bysso retorta, opere polymitario, cum cherubim intextis;

35. And he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; with cherubim skilfully worked he made it.

36. et quattuor columnas de lignis acaciae, quas cum uncis suis deauravit, fusis basibus earum argenteis.

36. And for it he made four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four bases of silver.

37. Fecit et velum in introitu tabernaculi ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco byssoque retorta opere plumarii;

37. He also made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework;

38. et columnas quinque cum uncis suis. Et operuit auro capita et anulos earum basesque earum fudit aeneas.

38. and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.
