Liber Exodus, 40

1. Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. The LORD said to Moses,

2. “Mense pri mo, die prima mensis eriges habitaculum, tabernaculum conventus,

2. "On the first day of the first month you shall erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3. et pones in eo arcam testimonii, abscondes illam velo;

3. And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

4. et, illata mensa, pones super eam, quae rite praecepta sunt. Candelabrum stabit cum lucernis suis

4. And you shall bring in the table, and set its arrangements in order; and you shall bring in the lampstand, and set up its lamps.

5. et altare aureum, in quo adoletur incensum, coram arca testimonii. Velum in introitu habitaculi pones,

5. And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

6. et ante tabernaculum conventus altare holocausti,

6. You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

7. et labrum inter altare et tabernaculum conventus et implebis illud aqua.

7. and place the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8. Circumdabisque atrium tentoriis et pones velum in porta eius.

8. And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.

9. Et, assumpto unctionis oleo, unges habitaculum et omnia, quae in eo sunt, et consecrabis illud cum vasis suis, et erit sanctum.

9. Then you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture; and it shall become holy.

10. Unges quoque altare holocausti et omnia vasa eius et consecrabis altare, et erit sanctum sanctorum.

10. You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar; and the altar shall be most holy.

11. Et unges labrum cum basi sua et consecrabis illud.

11. You shall also anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.

12. Applicabisque Aaron et filios eius ad fores tabernaculi conventus; et lotos aqua

12. Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water,

13. indues Aaron sanctis vestibus, unges et consecrabis eum, ut mihi sacerdotio fungatur;

13. and put upon Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.

14. filios eius applicabis et vesties eos tunicis

14. You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them,

15. et unges eos, sicut unxisti patrem eorum, ut mihi sacerdotio fungantur, et unctio eorum erit eis in sacerdotium sempiternum in generationibus eorum”.

15. and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests: and their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."

16. Fecitque Moyses omnia, quae praeceperat ei Dominus: sic fecit.

16. Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.

17. Igitur mense primo anni secundi, prima die mensis collocatum est habitaculum.

17. And in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18. Erexitque Moyses illud et posuit bases ac tabulas et vectes statuitque columnas

18. Moses erected the tabernacle; he laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars;

19. et expandit tentorium super habitaculum, imposito desuper operimento, sicut Dominus imperaverat Moysi.

19. and he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

20. Sumpsit et posuit testimonium in arca et, subditis infra vectibus, posuit propitiatorium desuper.

20. And he took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark, and set the mercy seat above on the ark;

21. Cumque intulisset arcam in habitaculum, appendit ante eam velum, sicut iusserat Dominus Moysi.

21. and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22. Posuit et mensam in tabernaculo conventus ad plagam septentrionalem extra velum,

22. And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,

23. ordinatis coram propositionis panibus, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.

23. and set the bread in order on it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

24. Posuit et candelabrum in tabernaculo conventus e regione mensae in parte australi,

24. And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,

25. locatis per ordinem lucernis, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.

25. and set up the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

26. Posuit et altare aureum in tabernaculo conventus coram propitiatorio

26. And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,

27. et adolevit super eo incensum aromatum, sicut iusserat Dominus Moysi.

27. and burnt fragrant incense upon it; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

28. Posuit et velum in introitu habitaculi

28. And he put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

29. et altare holocausti in vestibulo habitaculi, tabernaculi conventus, offerens in eo holocaustum et sacrificium, sicut Dominus imperaverat Moysi.

29. And he set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the cereal offering; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30. Labrum quoque statuit inter tabernaculum conventus et altare implens illud aqua;

30. And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,

31. laveruntque Moyses et Aaron ac filii eius manus suas et pedes,

31. with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet;

32. cum ingrederentur tabernaculum conventus et accederent ad altare, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.

32. when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

33. Erexit et atrium per gyrum habitaculi et altaris, ducto in introitu eius velo. Sic complevit opus.

33. And he erected the court round the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

34. Et operuit nubes tabernaculum conventus, et gloria Domini implevit habitaculum.

34. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35. Nec poterat Moyses ingredi tabernaculum conventus, quia habitavit nubes super illud, et gloria Domini replevit habitaculum.

35. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

36. Si quando nubes de tabernaculo ascendebat, proficiscebantur filii Israel in omnibus stationibus suis;

36. Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would go onward;

37. si autem non ascendebat nubes, non proficiscebantur usque in diem, quo levabatur.

37. but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not go onward till the day that it was taken up.

38. Nubes quippe Domini incubabat per diem habitaculo, et ignis in nocte, ante oculos universae domus Israel per cunctas mansiones suas.

38. For throughout all their journeys the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
