< Exodus 39 >
1 And of the blue and purple and scarlet they made garments of service, for service in the sanctuary, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Langokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu benza izembatho zomsebenzi zokusebenza endaweni engcwele; benza njalo izembatho ezingcwele ezazingezikaAroni, njengalokhu iNkosi ibimlayile uMozisi.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
Wasesenza i-efodi ngegolide, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, lokubomvu, langelembu elicolekileyo lentambo ephothiweyo.
3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it [into] wires, to work it artistically into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the byssus.
Basebekhanda izicantalala zegolide, bazisika zaba yizincingwana ukuzisebenzisa phakathi kokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka laphakathi kokuyibubende laphakathi kokubomvu laphakathi kwelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu; umsebenzi wengcitshi.
4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, joining it: at its two ends was it joined together.
Basenzela izichibi zamahlombe ukusihlanganisa; sahlanganiswa emaceleni aso womabili.
5 And the girdle of his ephod, which was on it, was of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Lebhanti le-efodi lakhe elelukwe ngobungcitshi elikulo, liyinto yinye, njengomsebenzi walo, ngegolide, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende lokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, njengalokhu iNkosi ibimlayile uMozisi.
6 And they wrought the onyx stones mounted in enclosures of gold, engraved with the engravings of a seal, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
Balungisa njalo amatshe e-onikse, bawabeka ukuze azingelezelwe ngezinto ezitshiliweyo zegolide, abazwa njengokubazwa kwendandatho elophawu, ngamabizo abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
7 And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Wasewabeka phezu kwezichibi ze-efodi, abe ngamatshe esikhumbuzo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
8 And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
Wenza isembatho sesifuba ngomsebenzi wengcitshi, njengomsebenzi we-efodi, ngegolide, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo.
9 It was square; double did they make the breastplate, a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, doubled.
Sasilingana inhlangothi zozine, benza isembatho sesifuba saphindwa, ubude baso babungangokwelulwa kweminwe, lobubanzi baso babungangokwelulwa kweminwe, siphindiwe.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: [one] row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald — the first row;
Basebefaka kuso imizila emine yamatshe; umzila wesardiyusi, itopazi le-emeraldi; umzila wokuqala;
11 and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
lomzila wesibili, i-emeraldi, isafire lendayimana;

lomzila wesine, ibherule, i-onikse lejaspi; ayezingelezelwe ngezinto ezitshiliweyo zegolide lapho afakwe khona.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
Lalawomatshe ayengokwamabizo amadodana kaIsrayeli, alitshumi lambili, njengamabizo awo, njengokubazwa kwendandatho elophawu, ilelo lalelo ngokwebizo lawo, ngokwezizwe ezilitshumi lambili.
15 And they made on the breastplate chains of laced work of wreathen work, of pure gold.
Benza njalo esembathweni sesifuba amaketane, umsebenzi ophothiweyo, ngegolide elicwengekileyo.
16 And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Benza izinto ezimbili ezitshiliweyo ngegolide lamasongo amabili egolide, bafaka amasongo amabili emaceleni womabili esembatho sesifuba,
17 And they put the two wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;
bafaka amaketane amabili egolide emasongweni amabili emaceleni esembatho sesifuba.
18 and the two ends of the two wreathen [cords] they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.
Izihloko ezimbili zamaketane womabili bazifaka ezintweni ezimbili ezitshiliweyo zegolide, bazifaka ezichibini ze-efodi ngaphambili kwaso kanye.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.
Benza lamasongo amabili egolide, bawafaka emaceleni womabili esembatho sesifuba, emphethweni waso, oseceleni kwe-efodi ngaphakathi.
20 And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof, just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod.
Benza njalo amasongo amabili egolide, bawafaka ezichibini ezimbili ze-efodi, ngaphansi, ngaphambili kwaso, maqondana lekuhlanganeni kwaso, phezu kwebhanti elelukwe ngobungcitshi le-efodi.
21 And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Basebebophela isembatho sesifuba ngamasongo aso emasongweni e-efodi ngentambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ukuze sibe phezu kwebhanti elelukwe ngobungcitshi le-efodi, ukuze isembatho sesifuba singakhumuki e-efodini; njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
22 And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
Wasesenza ibhatshi le-efodi ngomsebenzi owelukiweyo, lonke ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka;
23 and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend.
lesikhala sebhatshi sasiphakathi laphakathi kwaso, njengesikhala sebhatshi lensimbi; isikhala sasilomphetho osizingelezeleyo ukuze singadabuki.
24 And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.
Lemiphethweni yebhatshi benza amapomegranati ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, kuphothiwe.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates:
Benza lamabhera egolide elicwengekileyo, bafaka amabhera phakathi laphakathi kwamapomegranati emiphethweni yebhatshi inhlangothi zonke, phakathi laphakathi kwamapomegranati,
26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
ibhera lepomegranati, ibhera lepomegranati, emiphethweni yebhatshi kuzingeleze, ukusebenza, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
27 And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons;
Basebebenzela oAroni lamadodana akhe izigqoko ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lomsebenzi owelukiweyo,
28 and the turban of byssus; and the ornamental caps, of byssus; and the linen trousers, of twined byssus;

30 And they made the thin plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold, and wrote on it with the writing of the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!
Benza lencence yomqhele ongcwele ngegolide elicwengekileyo, babhala phezu kwayo umbhalo, ngokubazwa kwendandatho elophawu ukuthi: UBUNGCWELE ENKOSINI.
31 And they fastened to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on the turban above; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Babophela kuyo intambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuze ibotshelwe eqhiyeni ngaphezulu; njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
32 And all the labour of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was ended; and the children of Israel had done [it] according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses — so had they done [it].
Waphela-ke umsebenzi wonke wethabhanekele lethente lenhlangano; njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bakwenza njengakho konke iNkosi eyakulaya kuMozisi; benza njalo.
33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses — the tent, and all its utensils, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases;
