Bezalel and Oholiab Begin Work
1 "Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded." 2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful person in whom the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it. 3 They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
1 比撒列和亞何利亞伯、並一切心裡有智慧的、就是蒙耶和華賜智慧聰明、叫他知道作聖所各樣使用之工的、都要照耶和華所吩咐的作工。2 凡耶和華賜他心裡有智慧、而且受感前來作這工的、摩西把他們和比撒列、並亞何利亞伯、一同召來。3 這些人就從摩西收了以色列人為作聖所、並聖所使用之工所拿來的禮物。百姓每早晨、還把甘心獻的禮物拿來。
Abundant Materials; Moses Halts Giving
4 And all the skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing, 5 and they said to Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the construction work which the Lord commanded us to perform." 6 So Moses issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the contributions of the sanctuary." Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. 7 For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.
4 凡作聖所一切工的智慧人、各都離開他所作的工、5 來對摩西說、百姓為耶和華吩咐使用之工所拿來的、富富有餘。6 摩西傳命、他們就在全營中宣告說、無論男女、不必再為聖所拿甚麼禮物來．這樣纔攔住百姓不再拿禮物來。7 因為他們所有的材料、夠作一切當作的物、而且有餘。
Making and Joining the Linen Curtains
8 All the skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made them. 9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measurements. 10 He joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he joined to one another. 11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.
8 他們中間凡心裡有智慧作工的、用十幅幔子作帳幕．這幔子是比撒列用撚的細麻、和藍色紫色朱紅色線製造的、並用巧匠的手工繡上基路伯。9 每幅幔子長二十八肘、寬四肘．都是一樣的尺寸。10 他使這五幅幔子、幅幅相連、又使那五幅幔子、幅幅相連．11 在這相連的幔子末幅邊上、作藍色的鈕扣、在那相連的幔子末幅邊上、也照樣作。
Goat-Hair Curtains and Outer Coverings
12 He made fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite each other. 13 He made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was a unit. 14 Then he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had the same measurements.
12 在這相連的幔子上、作五十個鈕扣、在那相連的幔子上、也作五十個鈕扣、都是兩兩相對。13 又作五十個金鉤、使幔子相連．這纔成了一個帳幕。14 他用山羊毛織十一幅幔子、作為帳幕以上的罩棚．15 每幅幔子長三十肘、寬四肘、十一幅幔子、都是一樣的尺寸。
South-Side Boards and Silver Sockets
16 He joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves. 17 Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set. 18 He made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together so that it would be a unit. 19 He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above.
16 他把五幅幔子連成一幅、又把六幅幔子連成一幅。17 在這相連的幔子末幅邊上、作五十個鈕扣、在那相連的幔子末幅邊上、也作五十個鈕扣．18 又作五十個銅鉤、使罩棚連成一個。19 並用染紅的公羊皮作罩棚的蓋、再用海狗皮作一層罩棚上的頂蓋。
North-Side Boards and Sockets
20 Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 Ten cubits was the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22 There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side; 24 and he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
20 他用皂莢木作帳幕的豎板。21 每塊長十肘、寬一肘半．22 每塊有兩榫相對、帳幕一切的板都是這樣作。23 帳幕的南面、作板二十塊。24 在這二十塊板底下、又作四十個帶卯的銀座、兩卯接這塊板上的兩榫、兩卯接那塊板上的兩榫。
Rear and Corner Boards
25 Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, 26 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board. 27 For the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28 He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear.
25 帳幕的第二面、就是北面、也作板二十塊、26 和帶卯的銀座四十個．這板底下有兩卯、那板底下也有兩卯。27 帳幕的後面、就是西面、作板六塊。28 帳幕後面的拐角、作板兩塊。
Acacia Bars Overlaid with Gold
29 They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its top to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners. 30 There were eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two under every board. 31 Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the rear side to the west.
29 板的下半截是雙的、上半截是整的、直到第一個環子、在帳幕的兩個拐角上、都是這樣作。30 有八塊板、和十六個帶卯的銀座．每塊板底下有兩卯。31 他用皂莢木作閂．為帳幕這面的板作五閂、32 為帳幕那面的板作五閂．又為帳幕後面的板作五閂．
The Veil and Its Gold Pillars
33 He made the middle bar to pass through in the center of the boards from end to end. 34 He overlaid the boards with gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 35 Moreover, he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.
33 使板腰間的中閂、從這一頭通到那一頭。34 用金子將板包裹．又作板上的金環套閂．閂也用金子包裹。35 他用藍色紫色朱紅色線、和撚的細麻織幔子．以巧匠的手工繡上基路伯。
Screen and Pillars for the Doorway
36 He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them. 37 He made a screen for the doorway of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver; 38 and he made its five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; but their five sockets were of bronze.
36 為幔子作四根皂莢木柱子、用金包裹．柱子上有金鉤．又為柱子鑄了四個帶卯的銀座。37 拿藍色紫色朱紅色線、和撚的細麻、用繡花的手工織帳幕的門簾。38 又為簾子作五根柱子、和柱子上的鉤子、用金子把柱頂、和柱子上的杆子包裹．柱子有五個帶卯的座、是銅的。
