Exodus 36
1 “So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person are to carry out everything commanded by the LORD, who has given them skill and ability to know how to perform all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”
UBhezaleli loOholiyaba basebesenza, lawo wonke amadoda ahlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo okukuwo iNkosi ifake ukuhlakanipha lokuqedisisa ukwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendawo engcwele, njengakho konke iNkosi eyayikulayile.
2 Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had gifted—everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work.
UMozisi wasebiza uBhezaleli loOholiyaba layo yonke indoda ehlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo iNkosi efake inhlakanipho enhliziyweni yayo, wonke onhliziyo yakhe eyamvusela ukusondela emsebenzini ukuwenza;
3 They received from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought to carry out the service of constructing the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning,
basebesemukela kuMozisi wonke umnikelo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababewulethele umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu engcwele ukuwenza ngawo. Bona-ke babesaletha kuye iminikelo yesihle ukusa ngokusa.
4 so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work
Bonke abahlakaniphileyo ababesenza wonke umsebenzi wendlu engcwele basebesiza, ngulowo lalowo evela emsebenzini wakhe, abawenzayo.
5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”
Basebekhuluma kuMozisi besithi: Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu okwedlula okwanele ukusetshenzwa komsebenzi iNkosi elaye ukuthi wenziwe.
6 After Moses had given an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more,
UMozisi waselaya ukuthi bedlulise ilizwi enkambeni lisithi: Kakungabi lendoda kumbe umfazi owenza futhi umsebenzi ngomnikelo wendlu engcwele. Ngalokhu abantu banqatshelwa ukuthi balethe;
7 since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.
ngoba okokusetshenziswa kwakwanele kubo, ukuwenza umsebenzi wonke, kwaze kwasala.
8 All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains for the tabernacle. They were made of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.
Labo bonke abahlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo phakathi kwalabo ababesenza umsebenzi wethabhanekele benza amakhetheni alitshumi; ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, ngamakherubhi wawenza, umsebenzi wengcitshi.
9 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.
Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezine; wonke amakhetheni ayelesilinganiso sinye.
10 And he joined five of the curtains together, and the other five he joined as well.
Wasehlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu elinye lelinye, wahlanganisa amanye amakhetheni amahlanu elinye lelinye.
11 He made loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and also on the end curtain in the second set.
Wenza izihitshela ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni wekhetheni elinye, ekucineni ekuhlanganeni; wenze njalo emphethweni wekhetheni elisekucineni, ekuhlanganeni kwelesibili.
12 He made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops lined up opposite one another.
Wenza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu kwelinye ikhetheni, wenza lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni, elisekuhlanganeni kwelesibili; izihitshela zazikhangelene, esinye lesinye.
13 He also made fifty gold clasps to join the curtains together, so that the tabernacle was a unit.
Wenza ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, wahlanganisa amakhetheni, elinye lelinye ngengwegwe; ngalokhu kwaba lithabhanekele linye.
14 He then made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.
Wenza amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi abe lithente phezu kwethabhanekele; wawenza amakhetheni alitshumi lanye.
15 Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezine; amakhetheni alitshumi lanye ayeyisilinganiso sinye.
16 He joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another.
Wahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu wodwa, lamakhetheni ayisithupha wodwa.
17 He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
Wenza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni elisekucineni ekuhlanganeni, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu wazenza emphethweni wekhetheni elihlanganisa elesibili.
18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a unit.
Wenza ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu, ukuhlanganisa ithente, ukuze libe linye.
19 Additionally, he made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
Wenza isifulelo sethente ngezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama, lesifulelo ngezikhumba zikamantswane phezulu.
20 Next, he constructed upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
Wenza amapulanka ethabhanekele ngesihlahla sesinga, amiyo;
21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
ubude bepulanka babuzingalo ezilitshumi, lobubanzi bepulanka ngalinye babuyingalo lengxenye.
22 Two tenons were connected to each other for each frame. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
Ipulanka elilodwa lalilemisuka emibili, ihlangana omunye komunye; wenze njalo kuwo wonke amapulanka ethabhanekele.
23 He constructed twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,
Wenza amapulanka ethabhanekele, amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lweningizimu ngaseningizimu;
24 with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.
wenza izisekelo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva ngaphansi kwamapulanka angamatshumi amabili, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye zibe ngezemisuka yalo yomibili, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka zibe ngezemisuka yalo yomibili;
25 For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames
wenza amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lwesibili lwethabhanekele, ehlangothini lwenyakatho,
26 and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.
lezisekelo zawo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
27 He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,
Wenza amapulanka ayisithupha ehlangothini lwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga,
28 and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,
lamapulanka amabili wawenzela izingonsi zethabhanekele ngasemuva;
29 coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. He made both corners in this way.
ayengamaphahla ngaphansi ehlangene, ephelele phezulu, ngesongo linye; wenze njalo kuwo womabili, ezingonsini zombili.
30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
Njalo kwakulamapulanka ayisificaminwembili lezisekelo zawo zesiliva, izisekelo ezilitshumi lesithupha, izisekelo ezimbili, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye.
31 He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
Wenza imithando ngesihlahla sesinga, emihlanu eyamapulanka ehlangothini olunye lwethabhanekele,
32 five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
lemithando emihlanu eyamapulanka kolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele, lemithando emihlanu eyamapulanka ethabhanekele, ehlangothini olungemuva ngasentshonalanga.
33 He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other.
Wenza umthando waphakathi udabule phakathi kwamapulanka, kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
34 And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
Wahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, wenza amasongo awo ngegolide, azindawo zemithando, wayihuqa imithando ngegolide.
35 Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.
Wenza iveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende langokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, walenza laba ngumsebenzi wengcitshi lamakherubhi.
36 He also made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold, along with gold hooks; and he cast four silver bases for the posts.
Walenzela insika ezine ngesinga, wazihuqa ngegolide; ingwegwe zazo zazingezegolide; wazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa izisekelo ezine zesiliva.
37 For the entrance to the tent, he made a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen,
Wenza isilenge somnyango wethente ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, umsebenzi womfekethisi ngenalithi;
38 together with five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five bases were bronze.
lensika zalo ezinhlanu lengwegwe zazo; wazihuqa izihloko zazo lezibopho zazo ngegolide; lezisekelo zazo ezinhlanu zazingezethusi.
