Exodus 25
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, that they take for me an offering; of every man whose heart makes him willing ye shall take my offering.
Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi bangithathele umnikelo; uzathatha umnikelo wami kuye wonke umuntu, onhliziyo yakhe imenza avume.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,
Njalo yilo umnikelo ozawuthatha kubo: Igolide, lesiliva, lethusi,
4 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
5 and rams' skins dyed red, and certain skins, and acacia wood,
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lesihlahla sesinga,
6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
amafutha esibane, amakha amafutha okugcoba, lawempepha ethunqayo elephunga elimnandi,
7 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
amatshe athiwa ngama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa e-efodini lesembathweni sesifuba.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
Njalo kabangenzele indawo engcwele ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo.
9 According to all that I show thee: the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so shall ye make it.
Njengakho konke engizakutshengisa khona, isibonelo sethabhanekele, lesibonelo sempahla yalo yonke, lenze njalo-ke.
10 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half shall be the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
Njalo bazakwenza umtshokotsho ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude bawo bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi bawo yingalo lengxenye, lokuphakama kwawo yingalo lengxenye.
11 And thou shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside thou shall overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
Uwuhuqe-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, uwuhuqe ngaphakathi langaphandle, wenze phezu kwawo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
12 And thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet of it. And two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
Uwubumbele ngokuncibilikisa futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake emagumbini omane awo, ukuze amasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo, lamasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo.
13 And thou shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
Njalo uzakwenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide,
14 And thou shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.
uyifake imijabo emasongweni enhlangothini zomtshokotsho, ukuthwala umtshokotsho ngayo.
15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.
Imijabo izakuba semasongweni omtshokotsho, ayiyikukhutshwa kuwo.
16 And thou shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
Ubusufaka emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.
17 And thou shall make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it.
Njalo uzakwenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ubude baso bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, ububanzi baso yingalo lengxenye.
18 And thou shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shall thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.
Ubususenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, uzawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avele emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa.
19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat ye shall make the cherubim on the two ends of it.
Wenze elinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi, uzakwenza amakherubhi evela esihlalweni somusa emaphethelweni womabili aso.
20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy-seat.
Lamakherubhi azakwelula impiko zawo ngaphezulu, ambomboze isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangelane; ubuso bamakherubhi buzakhangela isihlalo somusa.
21 And thou shall put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark thou shall put the testimony that I shall give thee.
Njalo uzasibeka isihlalo somusa ngaphezulu, phezu komtshokotsho, ufake emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.
22 And there I will meet with thee. And I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the sons of Israel.
Ngizahlangana-ke lawe lapho, ngikhulume lawe ngingaphezu kwesihlalo somusa, ngiphakathi kwamakherubhi amabili aphezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi, konke engizakulaya khona kubantwana bakoIsrayeli.
23 And thou shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.
Uzakwenza futhi itafula ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude balo bube zingalo ezimbili, lobubanzi balo yingalo, lokuphakama kwalo yingalo lengxenye.
24 And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
Uzalihuqa-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, wenze kulo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
25 And thou shall make to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shall make a golden crown to the border of it round about.
Uzakwenza kulo inhlangothi zonke ibhanti elingangobubanzi besandla, ulenzele ibhanti lalo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
26 And thou shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it.
Ulenzele futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake amasongo emagunjini amane asenyaweni zalo zozine.
27 The rings shall be close by the border, for places for the staves to bear the table.
Amasongo azakuba ngasebhantini ukuze abe zindawo zemijabo, ukuthwala itafula.
28 And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
Njalo uzakwenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide, ukuze itafula lithwalwe ngayo;
29 And thou shall make the dishes of it, and the spoons of it, and the pitchers of it, and the bowls of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold thou shall make them.
wenze futhi imiganu yalo lenkezo zalo lezitsha zalo lenditshi zalo abathela ngazo, uzenze ngegolide elicwengekileyo.
30 And thou shall set upon the table showbread before me always.
Uzabeka-ke etafuleni izinkwa zokubukiswa phambi kwami njalonjalo.
31 And thou shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of beaten work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.
Uzakwenza njalo uluthi lwesibane ngegolide elicwengekileyo; uluthi lwesibane luzakwenziwa ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, isidindi salo, lezinti zalo, imbizana zalo, induku zalo, lamaluba alo, kuvele kulo.
32 And there shall be six branches going out of the sides of it, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it:
Njalo izinti eziyisithupha zizaphuma enhlangothini zalo; izinti ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi, lezinti ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi.
33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand,
Imbizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi kolunye uluthi, isiduku leluba; lembizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi kolunye uluthi, isiduku leluba; kube njalo ezintini eziyisithupha eziphuma oluthini lwesibane.
34 and in the lampstand four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it.
Oluthini lwesibane kube khona imbizana ezine ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi, iziduku zalo lamaluba alo;
35 And a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
kube lesiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, lesiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, futhi isiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, njengezinti eziyisithupha eziphuma oluthini lwesibane.
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.
Iziduku zazo lezinti zazo zizavela kulo, lonke lube ngumsebenzi munye okhandiweyo wegolide elicwengekileyo.
37 And thou shall make the lamps of it, seven. And they shall light the lamps of it, to give light in front of it.
Uzakwenza futhi izibane zalo eziyisikhombisa, njalo bazalumathisa izibane zalo, bazazenza zikhanyise ehlangothini oluphambi kwalo.
38 And the snuffers of it, and the snuff dishes of it, shall be of pure gold.
Njalo indlawu zalo lemiganu yalo yomlotha kuzakuba ligolide elicwengekileyo.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels.
Kalwenziwe ngethalenta legolide elicwengekileyo, kanye lazo zonke lezizinto.
40 And see that thou make them according to their pattern that has been shown thee on the mountain.
Nanzelela-ke ukuthi uzenze njengomfanekiso wazo, owatshengiswa wona entabeni.
