The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Loquere filiis Israël, ut tollant mihi primitias : ab omni homine qui offeret ultroneus, accipietis eas.
Septuagint (Swete): Εἰπὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ λάβετε ἀπαρχὰς παρὰ πάντων οἷς ἂν δόξῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ· καὶ λήμψεσθε τὰς ἀπαρχάς μου.
Hebrew (WLC): דַּבֵּר֙ אֶל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְיִקְחוּ לִ֖י תְּרוּמָ֑ה מֵאֵ֤ת כָּל אִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִדְּבֶ֣נּוּ לִבּ֔וֹ תִּקְח֖וּ אֶת תְּרוּמָתִֽי

Haydock's commentary

First-fruits: offerings, of some of the best and choicest of their goods. (Challoner)

This was the first time such a voluntary offering was made by the Hebrews. (Menochius)

It is a lesson for Christians to be liberal for God's service. (Worthington)
