Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
安息日的條例
35 摩西招聚以色列全體會眾，對他們宣佈說：「以下是耶和華吩咐你們遵守的事。 2 一週可以工作六天，但第七天是聖日，是你們為耶和華守安息的日子。凡在這一天工作的，必被處死。 3 在安息日，家家戶戶都不可生火。」
為造聖幕奉獻
4 摩西對以色列全體會眾說：「以下是耶和華給你們的吩咐。
5 「凡慷慨樂捐的，都可以把下列物品獻給耶和華為禮物，即金，銀，銅， 6 細麻線，山羊毛，藍色、紫色和朱紅色的線， 7 染成紅色的公羊皮，海狗皮，皂莢木， 8 燈油，製作膏油和香的香料， 9 鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的紅瑪瑙及其他寶石。
10 「你們當中的能工巧匠都要來建造耶和華所吩咐的物件， 11 即聖幕和聖幕的罩棚、頂蓋、鉤子、木板、橫閂、柱子和底座； 12 約櫃和抬約櫃的橫杠、施恩座和遮掩約櫃的幔子； 13 桌子和抬桌子的橫杠、桌上的一切器具和供餅； 14 燈臺和燈臺用的器具、燈盞和燈油； 15 香壇和抬香壇的橫杠、膏油和芬芳的香；聖幕門口的簾子； 16 燔祭壇、祭壇的銅網、抬祭壇的橫杠、祭壇用的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座； 17 院子的帷幔、懸掛幔子的柱子和底座、遮擋院子入口的門簾； 18 聖幕和院子用的橛子和繩索； 19 在聖所供職時穿的精製禮服、亞倫祭司的聖衣及其眾子供祭司之職時穿的衣服。」
20 摩西說完後，以色列全體會眾便從他面前退去。 21 凡心裡有感動又甘願奉獻的，都把禮物拿來獻給耶和華，作會幕、會幕中的一切器具及聖衣之用。 22 凡甘心奉獻的，不論男女，都把別針、耳環、戒指、項鏈等各樣金飾拿來獻給耶和華。 23 凡有細麻線，山羊毛，藍色、紫色和朱紅色的線，染成紅色的公羊皮，海狗皮的，都把它們拿來了。 24 凡奉獻銀器和銅器的，都拿來獻給耶和華。凡有皂莢木的，只要用得上，都拿來奉獻。 25 凡懂得紡線的婦女，都把親手紡成的細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線拿來奉獻。 26 凡心裡受感動又懂得紡織的婦女都來紡山羊毛。 27 眾首領奉獻了紅瑪瑙和其他寶石，用來鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上。 28 他們又獻出香料和油，用來做香、點燈、做膏油。 29 以色列人，不論男女、凡是甘心樂意奉獻的，都把禮物帶來獻給耶和華，好完成耶和華藉摩西吩咐他們的一切工作。
30 摩西對以色列人說：「看啊，耶和華已經親自選出猶大支派中戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列， 31 上帝的靈已經充滿他，使他有聰明智慧，精於各種技能和手藝， 32 懂得用金、銀和銅製造各式各樣精巧的器具， 33 又能雕刻和鑲嵌寶石，精通木工和各種手藝。 34 耶和華又使他與但支派亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯有能力教授別人。 35 耶和華使他們成為能工巧匠，精通各樣技藝，包括雕刻、圖案設計、紡織以及用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線刺繡。」

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
安息日之条例(A)
35 摩西召集了以色列全体会众，对他们说：“这就是耶和华吩咐的话，要你们遵行。 2 六日要工作，但第七日是你们的圣日，要归耶和华为休息的安息日。凡是在这日工作的，必须把他处死。 3 在安息日，不可在你们任何的住处生火。”
建造会幕的技工(B)
4 摩西告诉以色列全体会众说：“耶和华吩咐的是这样，他说： 5 ‘你们要从你们中间拿礼物来给耶和华，凡是甘心乐意的，都可以把耶和华的礼物带来，就是金、银、铜、 6 蓝色紫色朱红色线、细麻、山羊毛、 7 染红的公羊皮、海狗皮、皂荚木、 8 灯油，以及作膏油和芬芳的香的香料、 9 红玛瑙宝石，以及可以镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的宝石。
10 “‘你们中间凡是心里有智慧的都要来，做耶和华吩咐的一切， 11 就是做帐幕、帐幕的棚罩、帐幕的盖、钩子、木板、横闩、柱子、帐幕的座、 12 柜、柜杠、施恩座、遮盖至圣所的幔子、 13 桌子、桌子的杠、桌子的一切器具、陈设饼、 14 灯台、灯台的器具、灯盏、灯油、 15 香坛、香坛的杠、膏油、芬芳的香、帐幕门口的门帘、 16 燔祭坛、坛的铜网、坛杠、坛的一切器具、洗濯盆、盆座、 17 院子的帷子、帷子的柱子、帷子的座、院子的门帘、 18 帐幕的钉子、院子的钉子，以及这两处的绳子、 19 在圣所供职用的彩衣、祭司亚伦的圣衣和他儿子供祭司职用的衣服。’”
20 以色列全体会众从摩西面前离去了。 21 凡是心里受感、灵里乐意的，都来了；他们把耶和华的礼物都带来了，用作会幕的工程和会幕中的一切使用，又用来做圣衣。 22 凡是甘心乐意的，不论男女，都来了，把金针、耳环、戒指、手钏和各样的金器都送来。他们各人都把金子作礼物呈献给耶和华。 23 凡是有蓝色紫色朱红色线、细麻、山羊毛、染红的公羊皮、海狗皮的，都送了来。 24 凡是奉献银子和铜为礼物的，都带了来作耶和华的礼物；凡是有皂荚木可以用作工程上任何使用的，都带了来。 25 凡是心中有智慧的妇女都亲手纺织，把所纺的蓝色紫色朱红色线都带了来。 26 凡是有心意又有智慧的妇女，都纺山羊毛。 27 首领把红玛瑙宝石，以及可以镶嵌在以弗得和胸牌上的宝石都带了来； 28 又带来了香料、点灯用的油、膏油、芬芳的香。 29 以色列人无论男女，凡是甘心乐意为作耶和华藉摩西吩咐的一切工程的，都把自愿奉献的礼物带了来献给耶和华。
30 摩西对以色列人说：“看哪，犹大支派中户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列，耶和华已经提名召他， 31 又用 神的灵充满他，使他有智慧，有聪明，有知识，有作一切巧工的技能。 32 能巧设图案，用金、银、铜制造各物； 33 又能雕刻宝石，用来镶嵌；又能雕刻木头，用来制造各种巧工。 34 耶和华又赐给他和但支派中亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯，心里有教导人的恩赐。 35 耶和华又用智慧充满他们的心，使他们能作各种工作，雕刻的工，设图案的工，用蓝色紫色朱红色线和细麻刺绣的工，以及编织的工。他们能作各种工程，也能巧设图案。”
Exodus 35
New English Translation
Sabbath Regulations
35 Moses assembled the whole community of the Israelites and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do.[a] 2 In six days[b] work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a holy day[c] for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord.[d] Anyone who does work on it will be put to death. 3 You must not kindle a fire[e] in any of your homes[f] on the Sabbath day.”[g]
Willing Workers
4 [h] Moses spoke to the whole community of the Israelites, “This is the word that the Lord has commanded: 5 ‘Take[i] an offering for the Lord. Let everyone who has a willing heart[j] bring[k] an offering to the Lord:[l] gold, silver, bronze; 6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen; goats’ hair; 7 ram skins dyed red; fine leather;[m] acacia wood; 8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9 onyx stones, and other gems[n] for mounting[o] on the ephod and the breastpiece. 10 Every skilled person[p] among you is to come and make all that the Lord has commanded: 11 the tabernacle with[q] its tent, its covering, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases; 12 the ark, with its poles, the atonement lid, and the special curtain that conceals it; 13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence; 14 the lampstand for[r] the light and its accessories, its lamps, and oil for the light; 15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; 16 the altar for the burnt offering with its bronze grating that is on it, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin and its pedestal; 17 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway to the courtyard; 18 tent pegs for the tabernacle and tent pegs for the courtyard and their ropes; 19 the woven garments for serving in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.’”
20 So the whole community of the Israelites went out from the presence of Moses. 21 Everyone[s] whose heart stirred him to action[t] and everyone whose spirit was willing[u] came and brought the offering for the Lord for the work of the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments.[v] 22 They came, men and women alike,[w] all who had willing hearts. They brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry,[x] and everyone came who waved[y] a wave offering of gold to the Lord.
23 Everyone who had[z] blue, purple, or[aa] scarlet yarn, fine linen, goats’ hair, ram skins dyed red, or fine leather[ab] brought them.[ac] 24 Everyone making an offering of silver or bronze brought it as[ad] an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood[ae] for any work of the service brought it.[af] 25 Every woman who was skilled[ag] spun with her hands and brought what she had spun, blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, 26 and all the women whose heart stirred them to action and who were skilled[ah] spun goats’ hair.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted[ai] for the ephod and the breastpiece, 28 and spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the Lord through[aj] Moses had commanded them[ak] to do.
30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen[al] Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God—with skill, with understanding, with knowledge, and in all kinds of work— 32 to design artistic designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze, 33 and in cutting stones for their setting,[am] and in cutting wood, to do work in every artistic craft.[an] 34 And he has put it in his heart[ao] to teach, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has filled them with skill[ap] to do all kinds of work[aq] as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are[ar] craftsmen in all the work[as] and artistic designers.[at]
Footnotes
- Exodus 35:1 tn Heb “to do them”; this is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
- Exodus 35:2 tn This is an adverbial accusative of time.
- Exodus 35:2 tn The word is קֹדֶשׁ (qodesh, “holiness”). S. R. Driver suggests that the word was transposed, and the line should read: “a sabbath of entire rest, holy to Jehovah” (Exodus, 379). But the word may simply be taken as a substitution for “holy day.”
- Exodus 35:2 sn See on this H. Routtenberg, “The Laws of the Sabbath: Biblical Sources,” Dor le Dor 6 (1977): 41-43, 99-101, 153-55, 204-6; G. Robinson, “The Idea of Rest in the Old Testament and the Search for the Basic Character of Sabbath,” ZAW 92 (1980): 32-43.
- Exodus 35:3 sn Kindling a fire receives special attention here because the people thought that kindling a fire was not work, but only a preparation for some kind of work. The Law makes sure that this too was not done. But see also G. Robinson, “The Prohibition of Strange Fire in Ancient Israel: A Look at the Case of Gathering Wood and Kindling Fire on the Sabbath,” VT 28 (1978): 301-17.
- Exodus 35:3 tn Heb “dwelling places”; KJV, ASV “habitations.”
- Exodus 35:3 sn The presence of these three verses in this place has raised all kinds of questions. It may be that after the renewal of the covenant the people needed a reminder to obey God, and obeying the sign of the covenant was the starting point. But there is more to it than this; it is part of the narrative design of the book. It is the artistic design that puts the filling of the Spirit section (31:1-11) prior to the Sabbath laws (31:12-18) before the idolatry section, and then after the renewal there is the Sabbath reminder (35:1-3) before the filling of the Spirit material (35:4-36:7).
- Exodus 35:4 sn The book now turns to record how all the work of the sanctuary was done. This next unit picks up on the ideas in Exod 31:1-11. But it adds several features. The first part is the instruction of God for all people to give willingly (35:4-19); the next section tells how the faithful brought an offering for the service of the tabernacle (35:20-29); the next section tells how God set some apart with special gifts (35:30-35), and finally, the narrative reports how the faithful people of God enthusiastically began the work (36:1-7).
- Exodus 35:5 tn Heb “from with you.”
- Exodus 35:5 tn “Heart” is a genitive of specification, clarifying in what way they might be “willing.” The heart refers to their will, their choices.
- Exodus 35:5 tn The verb has a suffix that is the direct object, but the suffixed object is qualified by the second accusative: “let him bring it, an offering.”
- Exodus 35:5 tn The phrase is literally “the offering of Yahweh”; it could be a simple possessive, “Yahweh’s offering,” but a genitive that indicates the indirect object is more appropriate.
- Exodus 35:7 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
- Exodus 35:9 tn Heb “and stones.”
- Exodus 35:9 tn Heb “filling.”
- Exodus 35:10 tn Heb “wise of heart”; here also “heart” would be a genitive of specification, showing that there were those who could make skillful decisions.
- Exodus 35:11 tn In Hebrew style all these items are typically connected with a vav (ו) conjunction, but English typically uses commas except between the last two items in a series or between items in a series that are somehow related to one another. The present translation follows contemporary English style in lists such as this.
- Exodus 35:14 tn “for” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:21 tn Heb “man.”
- Exodus 35:21 tn The verb means “lift up, bear, carry.” Here the subject is “heart” or will, and so the expression describes one moved within to act.
- Exodus 35:21 tn Heb “his spirit made him willing.” The verb is used in Scripture for the freewill offering that people brought (Lev 7).
- Exodus 35:21 tn Literally “the garments of holiness,” the genitive is the attributive genitive, marking out what type of garments these were.
- Exodus 35:22 tn The expression in Hebrew is “men on/after the women,” meaning men with women, to ensure that it was clear that the preceding verse did not mean only men. B. Jacob takes it further, saying that the men came after the women because the latter had taken the initiative (Exodus, 1017).
- Exodus 35:22 tn Heb “all gold utensils.”
- Exodus 35:22 tn The verb could be translated “offered,” but it is cognate with the following noun that is the wave offering. This sentence underscores the freewill nature of the offerings people made. The word “came” is supplied from v. 21 and v. 22.
- Exodus 35:23 tn The text uses a relative clause with a resumptive pronoun for this: “who was found with him,” meaning “with whom was found.”
- Exodus 35:23 tn The conjunction in this verse is translated “or” because the sentence does not intend to say that each person had all these things. They brought what they had.
- Exodus 35:23 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
- Exodus 35:23 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:24 tn This translation takes “offering” as an adverbial accusative explaining the form or purpose of their bringing things. It could also be treated as the direct object, but that would seem unnecessarily repetitive.
- Exodus 35:24 sn U. Cassuto notes that the expression “with whom was found” does not rule out the idea that these folks went out and cut down acacia trees (Exodus, 458). It is unlikely that they had much wood in their tents.
- Exodus 35:24 tn Here “it” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:25 tn Heb “wisdom of heart,” which means that they were skilled and could make all the right choices about the work.
- Exodus 35:26 tn The text simply uses a prepositional phrase, “with/in wisdom.” It seems to be qualifying “the women” as the relative clause is.
- Exodus 35:27 tn Heb “and stones of the filling.”
- Exodus 35:29 tn Heb “by the hand of.”
- Exodus 35:29 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:30 tn Heb “called by name” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV). This expression means that the person was specifically chosen for some important task (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 342). See the expression with Cyrus in Isa 45:3-4.
- Exodus 35:33 tn Heb “to set.”
- Exodus 35:33 tn Heb “in every work of thought,” meaning, every work that required the implementation of design or plan.
- Exodus 35:34 sn The expression means that God has given them the ability and the desire to teach others how to do the work. The infinitive construct “to teach” is related to the word Torah, “instruction, guide, law.” They will be able to direct others in the work.
- Exodus 35:35 tn The expression “wisdom of heart,” or “wisdom in heart,” means artistic skill. The decisions and plans they make are skilled. The expression forms a second accusative after the verb of filling.
- Exodus 35:35 tn The expression “all the work” means “all kinds of work.”
- Exodus 35:35 tn Here “They are” has been supplied.
- Exodus 35:35 tn Heb “doers of all work.”
- Exodus 35:35 tn Heb “designers of designs.”
