Exodus 31:14

Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

KJV

Custodite sabbatum meum, sanctum est enim vobis : qui polluerit illud, morte morietur ; qui fecerit in eo opus, peribit anima illius de medio populi sui.

Vulgate

καὶ φυλάξεσθε τὰ σάββατα, ὅτι ἅγιον τοῦτό ἐστιν Κυρίου ὑμῖν· ὁ βεβηλῶν αὐτὸ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται· πᾶς ὃς ποιήσει ἐν αὐτῷ ἔργον, ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

LXX

Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
