< Exodus 35 >

1 And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which Jehovah hath commanded, that ye should do them.
UMozisi wasebuthanisa inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: La ngamazwi iNkosi ewalayileyo ukuthi liwenze.
2 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.
Insuku eziyisithupha kuzakwenziwa umsebenzi, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuzakuba yibungcwele kini, isabatha lokuphumula eNkosini; loba ngubani owenza umsebenzi ngalo uzabulawa.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
Lingabasi umlilo ngosuku lwesabatha kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded, saying,
UMozisi wasekhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Yile into iNkosi eyilayileyo isithi:
5 Take ye from among you an offering unto Jehovah; whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Jehovah’s offering: gold, and silver, and brass,
Thathani phakathi kwenu umnikelo ube ngoweNkosi; loba ngubani olenhliziyo evumayo kawulethe, umnikelo weNkosi, igolide lesiliva lethusi,
6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ [hair],
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
7 and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lezihlahla zesinga,
8 and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
lamafutha ezibane, lamakha amafutha okugcoba lempepha elephunga elimnandi,
9 and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
lamatshe ama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba.
10 And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded:
Labo bonke abalenhliziyo ehlakaniphileyo phakathi kwenu kabeze benze konke iNkosi ekulayileyo;
11 the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

14 the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
loluthi lwesibane sesikhanyiso, lezitsha zalo, lezibane zalo, lamafutha esikhanyiso;
15 and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
lelathi lempepha, lemijabo yalo, lamafutha okugcoba, lempepha elephunga elimnandi, lesilenge somnyango emnyango wethabhanekele;
16 the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;
ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lesihlengo sethusi elilaso, imijabo yalo, lazo zonke izitsha zalo, inditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo;
17 the hangings of the court, the pillars thereof, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;
amakhetheni eguma, insika zalo, lezisekelo zazo, lesilenge sesango leguma;
18 the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords;

19 the finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.
izembatho ezifekethisiweyo zokukhonza endaweni engcwele, izembatho ezingcwele zikaAroni umpristi, lezembatho zamadodana akhe, ukusebenza njengabapristi.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yaphuma phambi kukaMozisi.
21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] brought Jehovah’s offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments.
Beza-ke, wonke onhliziyo yakhe eyamvusayo, laye wonke omoya wakhe owamenza wavuma, baletha umnikelo eNkosini emsebenzini wethente lenhlangano lowenkonzo yonke yalo lowezembatho ezingcwele.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, [and] brought brooches, and ear-rings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man that offered an offering of gold unto Jehovah.
Beza-ke abesilisa kanye labesifazana, bonke abavumayo ngenhliziyo, baletha iziceco lamacici lendandatho lamasongo, zonke izinto zegolide; laye wonke owazunguza umnikelo wokuzunguzwa wegolide eNkosini.
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ [hair], and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them.
Laye wonke okwatholakala kuye okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu loboya bembuzi lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama lezikhumba zikamantswane bakuletha.
24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought Jehovah’s offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Wonke owanikela umnikelo wokuzunguzwa wesiliva lowethusi bakuletha kungumnikelo wokuzunguzwa weNkosi; laye wonke okwatholakala kuye izihlahla zesinga ezawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo baziletha.
25 And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Labo bonke abesifazana ababehlakaniphile ngenhliziyo baphotha ngezandla zabo, baletha okuphothiweyo, okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, okubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ [hair].
Labo bonke abesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabavusa enhlakanipheni baphotha uboya bembuzi.
27 And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
Lezinduna zaletha amatshe ama-onikse lamatshe okubekwa, awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba,
28 and the spice, and the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
lamakha lamafutha awesibane, lawamafutha okugcoba, lawempepha elephunga elimnandi.
29 The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto Jehovah; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Jehovah had commanded to be made by Moses.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bawuletha umnikelo wesihle eNkosini. Bonke abesilisa labesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabenza bavuma ukulethela wonke umsebenzi iNkosi eyayiwulayile ukuthi wenziwe ngesandla sikaMozisi.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, Jehovah hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
UMozisi wasesithi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Bonani, iNkosi imbizile ngebizo uBhezaleli indodana kaUri, indodana kaHuri owesizwe sakoJuda;
31 and he hath filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
imgcwalisile ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu enhlakanipheni, ekuqedisiseni, lelwazini, lemisebenzini yobungcitshi yonke,
32 and to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
lokuthi acebe ubungcitshi ukusebenza ngegolide langesiliva langethusi,
33 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship.
lekubazeni amatshe okufakwa, lekubazeni izigodo, ukusebenza emisebenzini yonke yeminwe ngobungcitshi.
34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Ifakile laye enhliziyweni yakhe ukufundisa, yena loOholiyaba indodana kaAhisamaki owesizwe sakoDani.
35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the skilful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise skilful works.
Ibagcwalisile ngokuhlakanipha kwenhliziyo, ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wombazi, lowengcitshi, lowomfekethisi ngenalithi, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende, ngokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lowomeluki; besenza wonke umsebenzi beceba ubungcitshi.
