Exodus 36
1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary — according to all that Jehovah had commanded.
Ngakho uBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabhi lomuntu wonke uThixo amuphe ubungcwethi lamandla okwazi ukwenza wonke lumsebenzi wokwakha indlu engcwele, kumele benze umsebenzi njengokulaywa kwabo nguThixo.”
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.
UMosi wasebiza uBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabhi labo bonke abalobungcwethi, uThixo ayebaphe amandla lowayezimisele ukuzokwenza lowomsebenzi.
3 And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.
Bemukela abakuphiwa nguMosi okwakuyiminikelo yabako-Israyeli benikelela ukwakhiwa kwendlu engcwele. Abantu baqhubeka beletha iminikelo ngokukhululeka kwabo ukusa kwamalanga wonke.
4 And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,
Ngakho zonke izingcitshi ezazisenza umsebenzi wonke wokwakha indlu engcwele zatshiya yonke imisebenzi yazo
5 and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.
zathi kuMosi, “Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu kulalokho uThixo alaya ukuba kwenziwe.”
6 Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;
Ngakho uMosi wakhupha isiqondiso basebethumela ilizwi ezihonqweni elithi, “Kakho owesilisa loba owesifazane okusamele enze olunye ulutho ukuthi lube ngumnikelo wendlu engcwele.” Ngalokho abantu bavinjelwa ukuletha okunye futhi,
7 for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.
ngoba abasebelakho kwasekukunengi okwedlula lokho okwakuzaphetha umsebenzi.
8 And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of artistic work did he make them.
Wonke amadoda alobungcwethi phakathi kwabasebenzayo akha ithabanikeli ngamakhetheni alitshumi enziwe ngelembu eliphothwe kuhle ngentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende kanye lezibomvu, laceciswe ngamakherubhi elukelwa kuhle yingcitshi.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits — one measure for all the curtains.
Wonke amakhetheni ayelingana ubude bawo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili njalo ububanzi ezingalo ezine.
10 And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled he one to another.
Babambanisa amakhetheni amahlanu ndawonye, benza njalo lakwamanye amahlanu.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.
Basebesenza izihitshela ngelembu eliluhlaza belandela umphetho wekhetheni elisekucineni kwelixha lakuqala, kwenziwa okufananayo elixheni lesibili.
12 He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.
Benza njalo ezinye izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu ekhethenini elilodwa, benza futhi ezinye izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu ekhethenini lokucina lelixha lesibili, izihitshela zazikhangelene.
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.
Basebesenza ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, bazisebenzisa ukuhlanganisa izixha zombili zamakhetheni ukuze ithabanikeli libe yintonye.
14 And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.
Benza amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi aba ngawethente lokubekwa phezu kwethabanikeli, wonke abalitshumi lanye.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain — one measure for the eleven curtains.
Wonke amakhetheni alitshumi lanye ayelingana, ezingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu ubude, ububanzi ezingalo ezine.
16 And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
Bahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu aba lilixha layisithupha kwelinye ilixha.
17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
Benza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu zilandela umphetho wekhetheni elisekucineni kwelixha lakuqala, benza okufananayo ekhethenini lelixha lesibili.
18 And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.
Balungisa ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu ukuze babophe ngazo ithente libe yinto yinye.
19 And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above [that].
Benza isembeso sethente ngezikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu, kwathi ngaphezu kwalokho benza isembeso ngezikhumba eziqinileyo.
20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;
Benza amathala ethabanikeli okumiswa ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya.
21 ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;
Ithala linye lalilide okuzingalo ezilitshumi, kwathi ububanzi laba yingalo elengxenye,
22 two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
kulemisuka emibili ephutsha ilinganisene. Wonke amathala ethabanikeli enziwa ngale indlela.
23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;
Benza amathala ecele elisezansi kwethabanikeli angamatshumi amabili,
24 and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
benza izisekelo zesiliva ezingamatshumi amane ezazihamba ngaphansi kwawo, izisekelo ezimbili ethaleni linye, isisekelo sinye ngaphansi kwensika inye ngayinye.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,
Kuleli elinye icele, icele elisenyakatho kwethabanikeli, bamisa amathala angamatshumi amabili
26 and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
kanye lezisekelo zesiliva ezingamatshumi amane, ezimbili ngaphansi kwethala lilinye.
27 And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;
Benza amathala ayisithupha ecele elisekucineni ngentshonalanga kwethabanikeli,
28 and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;
benza amathala amabili emagumbini asekucineni.
29 and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;
Emagumbini womabili amathala ayelohlonzi oluphindwe kabili kusuka phansi kusiya phezulu, ehlanganiswe ngesongo elilodwa njalo womabili enziwa ngokufananayo.
30 and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.
Ngakho kwenziwa amathala ayisificaminwembili lezisekelo zesiliva ezilitshumi lesithupha, zimbili ngaphansi kwethala linye.
31 — And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
Benza njalo imithando enqumayo ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya: emihlanu ingeyamathala akwelinye icele lethabanikeli,
32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear, westward.
emihlanu yayingeyakwelinye icele, kwathi njalo eminye emihlanu yaba ngeyamathala asentshonalanga ekucineni kwethabanikeli.
33 And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.
Umthando onquma phakathi bawenza wedlula usuka kwelinye icele usiya kwelinye phakathi laphakathi kwamathala.
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold; and made their rings of gold [as] receptacles for the bars; and overlaid the bars with gold.
Bahuqa amathala ngegolide benza amasongo ngegolide abamba imithando. Njalo bahuqa imithando ngegolide.
35 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it [with] cherubim.
Benza ikhetheni ngelembu elicolekileyo, eliphethwe kuhle ngentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu, aba lamakherubhi elukelwe kuwo ngumuntu oleminwe.
36 And he made four pillars of acacia[-wood] for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.
Bawenzela izinsika ezine ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya bazihuqa ngegolide. Izinsika bazenzela ingwegwe zegolide njalo bawamisela lezisekelo ezine zesiliva.
37 And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;
Benza ikhetheni lesango lethente ngelembu elicolekileyo elilentambo eziphothiweyo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu, kwaba ngumsebenzi wombalazi ngokuthunga;
