Wenza-ke ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude balo babuzingalo ezinhlanu, lobubanzi balo babuzingalo ezinhlanu, lilingana inhlangothi zozine, lokuphakama kwalo kwakuzingalo ezintathu.
2 He made a horn at each of its four corners, so that the horns and altar were of one piece, and he overlaid the altar with bronze.
Wenza impondo zalo engonsini zalo zozine; impondo zalo zazivela kulo; walihuqa ngethusi.
3 He made all the altar’s utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.

Wabumba ngokuncibilikisa amasongo amane engonsini zozine zesihlengo sethusi, abe zindawo zemijabo.
6 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.
Wayenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, wayihuqa ngethusi.
7 Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with boards so that it was hollow.
Wayifaka imijabo emasongweni enhlangothini zelathi ukuze lithwalwe ngayo; walenza lagubheka ngamapulanka.
8 Next he made the bronze basin and its stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
