Exodo 30
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Altar na Sunugan ng Insenso(A)
30 “Gumawa ka ng altar na gawa sa akasya na sunugan ng insenso. 2 Gawin mo itong parisukat: 0.5 metro ang haba, gayundin ang luwang at 0.9 na metro ang taas. Ang apat na sulok nito ay lalagyan mo ng sungay na kaisang piraso ng altar. 3 Balutin mo rin ng purong ginto ang ibabaw, mga gilid, at ang mga sungay nito. 4 Kabitan ito ng argolyang ginto sa magkabilang gilid, at sa ibaba para pagsuutan ng pampasan 5 na yari sa punong akasya at babalutin din ng ginto. 6 Pagkayari, ilagay ito sa labas ng kurtina ng Kaban ng Tipan at ng Luklukan ng Awa. Dito ko kayo tatagpuin. 7 Tuwing umaga na aayusin ni Aaron ang ilawan, magsusunog siya rito ng insenso. 8 Ganoon din ang gagawin niya kung gabi kapag inihahanda niya ang ilawan. Patuloy ninyo itong gagawin sa lahat ng inyong salinlahi. 9 Huwag kayong magsusunog dito ng insensong iba sa iniuutos ko. Huwag din kayong magdadala rito ng handog na susunugin, maging hayop, pagkaing butil o inumin. 10 Minsan isang taon, gaganapin ni Aaron ang seremonya sa pagpapatawad ng kasalanan. Ang apat na tulis ng altar ay papahiran ng dugo ng hayop na handog para sa kasalanan. Gawin ninyo ito habang panahon. Ang altar na ito'y ganap na sagrado at nakalaan kay Yahweh.”
Ang Buwis para sa Templo
11 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 12 “Pagkuha mo ng sensus ng mga Israelita, bawat isa'y hingan mo ng pantubos sa kanilang buhay. Ihahandog nila ito sa akin para walang kapahamakang umabot sa kanila habang ginagawa ang sensus. 13 Lahat(B) ng mabilang sa sensus ay magbabayad ng kinakailangang timbang ng pilak ayon sa timbangan ng templo (ang kinakailangang timbang ay katumbas ng 6 na gramo), bilang handog sa akin. 14 Lahat ng may dalawampung taon at pataas ay isasama sa sensus. 15 Pareho ang halagang ibabayad na pantubos ng mayayaman at ng mahihirap, walang labis at walang kulang. 16 Lahat ng ibabayad nila ay gagamitin sa mga kailangan sa Toldang Tipanan. Ang halagang ibibigay nila'y pantubos ng kanilang buhay, at sa pamamagitan nito, maaalala ko ang mga Israelita.”
Ang Palangganang Hugasan
17 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 18 “Gumawa(C) ka rin ng palangganang tanso at ng tansong patungan nito. Ilagay mo ito sa pagitan ng altar at ng Toldang Tipanan. Pagkatapos, lagyan mo ito ng tubig. 19 Ito ang gagamitin ni Aaron at ng kanyang mga anak sa paghuhugas ng kanilang paa't kamay. 20 Kailangang sila'y maghugas bago pumasok sa Toldang Tipanan o bago magsunog ng handog sa altar. Kung hindi, sila'y mamamatay. 21 Kailangan ngang maghugas muna sila ng paa't kamay upang hindi sila mamatay. Ito'y tuntuning susundin nila at ng kanilang lahi habang panahon.”
Ang Langis na Pampahid at ang Insenso
22 Sinabi(D) ni Yahweh kay Moises, 23 “Pumili ka ng pinakamainam na pabango: 6 na kilong mira, 3 kilong kanela at 3 kilong mabangong tubó 24 at 6 na kilong kasia ayon sa sukatang gamit sa templo. Pagkatapos, kumuha ka ng 4 na litrong langis ng olibo. 25 Paghalu-haluin mo ito tulad ng ginagawa ng mahuhusay na manggagawa ng pabango at gagamitin mo itong pampahid upang 26 maging sagrado ang Toldang Tipanan at ang Kaban ng Tipan, 27 ganoon din ang mesa at lahat ng kagamitan nito, ang ilawan at mga kasangkapang kaugnay nito at ang altar na sunugan ng insenso. 28 Pahiran mo rin ang altar na sunugan ng mga handog at mga kasangkapan nito, ang palangganang hugasan at ang patungan nito. 29 Ganyan ang gagawin mo sa mga kasangkapang nabanggit upang ang mga ito'y maging ganap na sagrado; magiging sagrado rin ang lahat ng maisagi rito.
30 “Pagkatapos, si Aaron naman at ang kanyang mga anak ang bubuhusan ng langis na ito upang lubos silang maitalaga bilang mga pari. 31 Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na ang langis na ito'y banal at siya ninyong gagamitin habang panahon. 32 Huwag ninyo itong gagamitin sa karaniwang tao at huwag gagayahin ang paggawa nito. Ito'y banal at dapat igalang. 33 Ititiwalag ang sinumang gumaya nito at ang sinumang gumamit nito sa dayuhan.”
Ang Insenso
34 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Kumuha ka ng magkakasindaming pabango ng estacte, onise, galbano at purong insenso. 35 Paghalu-haluin mo ito at gawing insenso tulad ng ginagawa ng mahusay na manggagawa ng pabangong inasinan, malinis, at banal. 36 Dikdikin mo nang pino ang kaunti nito at ilagay sa harap ng Kaban ng Tipan, sa Toldang Tipanan. Ituring mo itong ganap na sagrado. 37 Huwag ninyong gagayahin ito kung gagawa kayo ng insenso na pansariling gamit. Aariin ninyong ito'y bukod-tangi para kay Yahweh. 38 Ititiwalag ang sinumang gumamit nito bilang pabango.”
Exodus 30
New International Version
The Altar of Incense(A)
30 “Make an altar(B) of acacia wood for burning incense.(C) 2 It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high[a]—its horns(D) of one piece with it. 3 Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.(E) 4 Make two gold rings(F) for the altar below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.(G) 6 Put the altar in front of the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law—before the atonement cover(H) that is over the tablets of the covenant law—where I will meet with you.
7 “Aaron must burn fragrant incense(I) on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps. 8 He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at twilight so incense will burn regularly before the Lord for the generations to come.(J) 9 Do not offer on this altar any other incense(K) or any burnt offering or grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it. 10 Once a year(L) Aaron shall make atonement(M) on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering[b](N) for the generations to come.(O) It is most holy to the Lord.”
Atonement Money
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “When you take a census(P) of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the Lord a ransom(Q) for his life at the time he is counted. Then no plague(R) will come on them when you number them. 13 Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel,[c] according to the sanctuary shekel,(S) which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the Lord. 14 All who cross over, those twenty years old or more,(T) are to give an offering to the Lord. 15 The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less(U) when you make the offering to the Lord to atone for your lives. 16 Receive the atonement(V) money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting.(W) It will be a memorial(X) for the Israelites before the Lord, making atonement for your lives.”
Basin for Washing
17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin,(Y) with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet(Z) with water(AA) from it. 20 Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die.(AB) Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord, 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance(AC) for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”(AD)
Anointing Oil
22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Take the following fine spices:(AE) 500 shekels[d] of liquid myrrh,(AF) half as much (that is, 250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon,(AG) 250 shekels[e] of fragrant calamus,(AH) 24 500 shekels(AI) of cassia(AJ)—all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a hin[f] of olive oil. 25 Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer.(AK) It will be the sacred anointing oil.(AL) 26 Then use it to anoint(AM) the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law, 27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense, 28 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29 You shall consecrate them(AN) so they will be most holy, and whatever touches them will be holy.(AO)
30 “Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate(AP) them so they may serve me as priests.(AQ) 31 Say to the Israelites, ‘This is to be my sacred anointing oil(AR) for the generations to come.(AS) 32 Do not pour it on anyone else’s body and do not make any other oil using the same formula. It is sacred, and you are to consider it sacred.(AT) 33 Whoever makes perfume like it and puts it on anyone other than a priest must be cut off(AU) from their people.’”
Incense
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices(AV)—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, 35 and make a fragrant blend of incense,(AW) the work of a perfumer.(AX) It is to be salted and pure and sacred. 36 Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet(AY) with you. It shall be most holy(AZ) to you. 37 Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy(BA) to the Lord. 38 Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off(BB) from their people.”
