Exodus 35
1 Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:
UMozisi wasebuthanisa inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: La ngamazwi iNkosi ewalayileyo ukuthi liwenze.
2 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
Insuku eziyisithupha kuzakwenziwa umsebenzi, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuzakuba yibungcwele kini, isabatha lokuphumula eNkosini; loba ngubani owenza umsebenzi ngalo uzabulawa.
3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
Lingabasi umlilo ngosuku lwesabatha kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
4 Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
UMozisi wasekhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Yile into iNkosi eyilayileyo isithi:
5 Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;
Thathani phakathi kwenu umnikelo ube ngoweNkosi; loba ngubani olenhliziyo evumayo kawulethe, umnikelo weNkosi, igolide lesiliva lethusi,
6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lezihlahla zesinga,
8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
lamafutha ezibane, lamakha amafutha okugcoba lempepha elephunga elimnandi,
9 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
lamatshe ama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba.
10 Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
Labo bonke abalenhliziyo ehlakaniphileyo phakathi kwenu kabeze benze konke iNkosi ekulayileyo;
11 the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;
ithabhanekele, ithente lalo, lesifulelo salo, ingwegwe zalo, lamapulanka alo, imithando yalo, insika zalo, lezisekelo zalo;
12 the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;
umtshokotsho, lemijabo yawo, isihlalo somusa, leveyili lesembeso;
13 the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;
itafula, lemijabo yalo, lezitsha zalo zonke, lezinkwa zokubukiswa;
14 the lampstand for light with its accessories and lamps and oil for the light;
loluthi lwesibane sesikhanyiso, lezitsha zalo, lezibane zalo, lamafutha esikhanyiso;
15 the altar of incense with its poles; the anointing oil and fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;
lelathi lempepha, lemijabo yalo, lamafutha okugcoba, lempepha elephunga elimnandi, lesilenge somnyango emnyango wethabhanekele;
16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lesihlengo sethusi elilaso, imijabo yalo, lazo zonke izitsha zalo, inditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo;
17 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard;
amakhetheni eguma, insika zalo, lezisekelo zazo, lesilenge sesango leguma;
18 the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, along with their ropes;
izikhonkwane zethabhanekele, lezikhonkwane zeguma, lentambo zazo;
19 and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”
izembatho ezifekethisiweyo zokukhonza endaweni engcwele, izembatho ezingcwele zikaAroni umpristi, lezembatho zamadodana akhe, ukusebenza njengabapristi.
20 Then the whole congregation of Israel withdrew from the presence of Moses.
Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yaphuma phambi kukaMozisi.
21 And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, 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 So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD.
Beza-ke abesilisa kanye labesifazana, bonke abavumayo ngenhliziyo, baletha iziceco lamacici lendandatho lamasongo, zonke izinto zegolide; laye wonke owazunguza umnikelo wokuzunguzwa wegolide eNkosini.
23 Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.
Laye wonke okwatholakala kuye okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu loboya bembuzi lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama lezikhumba zikamantswane bakuletha.
24 And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part 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 Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.
Labo bonke abesifazana ababehlakaniphile ngenhliziyo baphotha ngezandla zabo, baletha okuphothiweyo, okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, okubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu.
26 And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.
Labo bonke abesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabavusa enhlakanipheni baphotha uboya bembuzi.
27 The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,
Lezinduna zaletha amatshe ama-onikse lamatshe okubekwa, awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba,
28 as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.
lamakha lamafutha awesibane, lawamafutha okugcoba, lawempepha elephunga elimnandi.
29 So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bawuletha umnikelo wesihle eNkosini. Bonke abesilisa labesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabenza bavuma ukulethela wonke umsebenzi iNkosi eyayiwulayile ukuthi wenziwe ngesandla sikaMozisi.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel 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 has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
imgcwalisile ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu enhlakanipheni, ekuqedisiseni, lelwazini, lemisebenzini yobungcitshi yonke,
32 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
lokuthi acebe ubungcitshi ukusebenza ngegolide langesiliva langethusi,
33 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
lekubazeni amatshe okufakwa, lekubazeni izigodo, ukusebenza emisebenzini yonke yeminwe ngobungcitshi.
34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
Ifakile laye enhliziyweni yakhe ukufundisa, yena loOholiyaba indodana kaAhisamaki owesizwe sakoDani.
35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
Ibagcwalisile ngokuhlakanipha kwenhliziyo, ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wombazi, lowengcitshi, lowomfekethisi ngenalithi, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende, ngokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lowomeluki; besenza wonke umsebenzi beceba ubungcitshi.
