Liber Exodus, 30

1. Facies quoque altare ad adolendum thymiama de lignis acaciae

1. "You shall make an altar to burn incense upon; of acacia wood shall you make it.

2. habens cubitum longitudinis et alterum latitudinis, id est quadrangulum, et duos cubitos in altitudine; cornua ex ipso procedent.

2. A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth; it shall be square, and two cubits shall be its height; its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3. Vestiesque illud auro purissimo, tam craticulam eius quam parietes per circuitum et cornua. Faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum

3. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about and its horns; and you shall make for it a molding of gold round about.

4. et duos anulos aureos sub corona in duobus lateribus, ut mittantur in eos vectes, et altare portetur.

4. And two golden rings shall you make for it; under its molding on two opposite sides of it shall you make them, and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it.

5. Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis acaciae et inaurabis.

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

6. Ponesque altare contra velum, quod ante arcam pendet testimonii, coram propitiatorio, quo tegitur testimonium, ubi conveniam ad te.

6. And you 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.

7. Et adolebit incensum super eo Aaron suave fragrans mane. Quando componet lucernas, incendet illud;

7. And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it,

8. et quando collocabit eas ad vesperum, uret thymiama sempiternum coram Domino in generationes vestras.

8. and when Aaron sets up the lamps in the evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.

9. Non offeretis super eo thymiama compositionis alterius nec holocaustum nec oblationem, nec libabitis libamina.

9. You shall offer no unholy incense thereon, nor burnt offering, nor cereal offering; and you shall pour no libation thereon.

10. Et expiabit Aaron super cornua eius semel per annum in sanguine sacrificii pro peccato; et placabit super eo in generationibus vestris: sanctum sanctorum erit Domino”.

10. Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations; it is most holy to the LORD."

11. Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

11. The LORD said to Moses,

12. “Quando tuleris summam filiorum Israel iuxta numerum, dabunt singuli pretium expiationis pro animabus suis Domino; et non erit plaga in eis, cum fuerint recensiti.

12. "When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for himself to the LORD when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13. Hoc autem dabit omnis, qui transit ad censum, dimidium sicli iuxta mensuram sanctuarii ­ siclus viginti obolos habet ­; media pars sicli offeretur Domino.

13. Each who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as an offering to the LORD.

14. Qui habetur in numero a viginti annis et supra, dabit pretium;

14. Every one who is numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the LORD's offering.

15. dives non addet ad medium sicli, et pauper nihil minuet, quando dabitis oblationem Domino in expiationem animarum vestrarum.

15. The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when you give the LORD's offering to make atonement for yourselves.

16. Susceptamque expiationis pecuniam, quae collata est a filiis Israel, trades in usus tabernaculi conventus, ut sit monumentum eorum coram Domino et propitietur animabus illorum”.

16. And you shall take the atonement money from the people of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may bring the people of Israel to remembrance before the LORD, so as to make atonement for yourselves."

17. Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

17. The LORD said to Moses,

18. “Facies et labrum aeneum cum basi aenea ad lavandum; ponesque illud inter tabernaculum conventus et altare. Et, missa aqua,

18. "You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it,

19. lavabunt in eo Aaron et filii eius manus suas ac pedes.

19. with which Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.

20. Quando ingressuri sunt tabernaculum conventus, lavabunt se aqua, ne moriantur; vel quando accessuri sunt ad altare, ut ministrent, ut adoleant victimam Domino.

20. When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering by fire to the LORD, they shall wash with water, lest they die.

21. Et lavabunt manus et pedes, ne moriantur: legitimum sempiternum erit, ipsi et semini eius per successiones”.

21. They shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die: it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22. Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen

22. Moreover, the LORD said to Moses,

23. dicens: “Sume tibi aromata prima myrrhae electae quingentos siclos et cinnamomi boni odoris medium, id est ducentos quinquaginta siclos, calami suave olentis similiter ducentos quinquaginta,

23. "Take the finest spices: of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet-smelling cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty, and of aromatic cane two hundred and fifty,

24. casiae autem quingentos siclos, in pondere sanctuarii, olei de olivetis mensuram hin.

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

25. Faciesque unctionis oleum sanctum, unguentum compositum opere unguentarii; unctionis oleum sanctum erit.

25. and you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; a holy anointing oil it shall be.

26. Et unges ex eo tabernaculum conventus et arcam testamenti

26. And you shall anoint with it the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,

27. mensamque cum vasis suis, candelabrum et utensilia eius, altaria thymiamatis

27. and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

28. et holocausti et universam supellectilem, quae ad cultum eorum pertinet, et labrum cum basi sua.

28. and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the laver and its base;

29. Sanctificabisque omnia, et erunt sancta sanctorum: qui tetigerit ea, sanctificabitur.

29. you shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them will become holy.

30. Aaron et filios eius unges sanctificabisque eos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.

30. And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.

31. Filiis quoque Israel dices: Hoc oleum unctionis sanctum erit mihi in generationes vestras.

31. And you shall say to the people of Israel, `This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.

32. Caro hominis non ungetur ex eo, et iuxta compositionem eius non facietis aliud, quia sanctum est et sanctum erit vobis.

32. It shall not be poured upon the bodies of ordinary men, and you shall make no other like it in composition; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.

33. Homo quicumque tale composuerit et dederit ex eo super alienum, exterminabitur de populo suo”.

33. Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.'"

34. Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: “Sume tibi aromata, stacten et onycha, galbanum boni odoris et tus lucidissimum; aequalis ponderis erunt omnia.

34. And the LORD said to Moses, "Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part),

35. Faciesque thymiama compositum opere unguentarii, sale conditum et purum et sanctum.

35. and make an incense blended as by the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy;

36. Cumque in tenuissimum pulverem ex parte contuderis, pones ex eo coram testimonio in tabernaculo conventus, in quo conveniam ad te: sanctum sanctorum erit vobis thymiama.

36. and you shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I shall meet with you; it shall be for you most holy.

37. Talem compositionem non facietis in usus vestros, quia tibi sanctum erit pro Domino;

37. And the incense which you shall make according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves; it shall be for you holy to the LORD.

38. homo quicumque fecerit simile, ut odore illius perfruatur, peribit de populis suis”.

38. Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people."
