Exodus 35
1 And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done.
UMozisi wasebuthanisa inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: La ngamazwi iNkosi ewalayileyo ukuthi liwenze.
2 Six days you shall do work: the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath, and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death.
Insuku eziyisithupha kuzakwenziwa umsebenzi, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuzakuba yibungcwele kini, isabatha lokuphumula eNkosini; loba ngubani owenza umsebenzi ngalo uzabulawa.
3 You shall kindle no fire in any of your habitations on the sabbath day.
Lingabasi umlilo ngosuku lwesabatha kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
4 And Moses said to all the assembly of the children of Israel: This is the word the Lord hath commanded, saying:
UMozisi wasekhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Yile into iNkosi eyilayileyo isithi:
5 Set aside with you firstfruits to the Lord. Let every one that is willing and hath a ready heart, offer them to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,
Thathani phakathi kwenu umnikelo ube ngoweNkosi; loba ngubani olenhliziyo evumayo kawulethe, umnikelo weNkosi, igolide lesiliva lethusi,
6 Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, goats’ hair,
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
7 And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins, setim wood,
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lezihlahla zesinga,
8 And oil to maintain lights, and to make ointment, and most sweet incense.
lamafutha ezibane, lamakha amafutha okugcoba lempepha elephunga elimnandi,
9 Onyx stones, and precious stones, for the adorning of the ephod and the rational.
lamatshe ama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba.
10 Whosoever of you is wise, let him come, and make that which the Lord hath commanded:
Labo bonke abalenhliziyo ehlakaniphileyo phakathi kwenu kabeze benze konke iNkosi ekulayileyo;
11 To wit, the tabernacle and the roof thereof, and the cover, the rings, and the board work with the oars, the pillars, and the sockets:
ithabhanekele, ithente lalo, lesifulelo salo, ingwegwe zalo, lamapulanka alo, imithando yalo, insika zalo, lezisekelo zalo;
12 The ark and the staves, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it:

13 The table with the bars and the vessels, and the loaves of proposition:
itafula, lemijabo yalo, lezitsha zalo zonke, lezinkwa zokubukiswa;
14 The candlestick to bear up the lights, the vessels thereof and the lamps, and the oil for the nourishing of fires:
loluthi lwesibane sesikhanyiso, lezitsha zalo, lezibane zalo, lamafutha esikhanyiso;
15 The altar of incense, and the bars, and the oil of unction and the incense of spices: the hanging at the door of the tabernacle:
lelathi lempepha, lemijabo yalo, lamafutha okugcoba, lempepha elephunga elimnandi, lesilenge somnyango emnyango wethabhanekele;
16 The altar of holocaust, and its grate of brass, with the bars and vessels thereof: the laver and its foot:
ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lesihlengo sethusi elilaso, imijabo yalo, lazo zonke izitsha zalo, inditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo;
17 The curtains of the court with the pillars and the sockets, the hanging in the doors of the entry,
amakhetheni eguma, insika zalo, lezisekelo zazo, lesilenge sesango leguma;
18 The pins of the tabernacle and of the court with their little cords:
izikhonkwane zethabhanekele, lezikhonkwane zeguma, lentambo zazo;
19 The vestments that are to be used in the ministry of the sanctuary, the vesture of Aaron the high priest, and of his sons, to do the office of priesthood to me.
izembatho ezifekethisiweyo zokukhonza endaweni engcwele, izembatho ezingcwele zikaAroni umpristi, lezembatho zamadodana akhe, ukusebenza njengabapristi.
20 And all the multitude of the children of Israel going out from the presence of Moses,
Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yaphuma phambi kukaMozisi.
21 Offered firstfruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to make the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatsoever was necessary to the service, and to the holy vestments,
Beza-ke, wonke onhliziyo yakhe eyamvusayo, laye wonke omoya wakhe owamenza wavuma, baletha umnikelo eNkosini emsebenzini wethente lenhlangano lowenkonzo yonke yalo lowezembatho ezingcwele.
22 Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered 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 If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins,
Laye wonke okwatholakala kuye okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu loboya bembuzi lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama lezikhumba zikamantswane bakuletha.
24 Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.
Wonke owanikela umnikelo wokuzunguzwa wesiliva lowethusi bakuletha kungumnikelo wokuzunguzwa weNkosi; laye wonke okwatholakala kuye izihlahla zesinga ezawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo baziletha.
25 The skillful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
Labo bonke abesifazana ababehlakaniphile ngenhliziyo baphotha ngezandla zabo, baletha okuphothiweyo, okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, okubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu.
26 And goats’ hair, giving all of their own accord.
Labo bonke abesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabavusa enhlakanipheni baphotha uboya bembuzi.
27 But the princes offered onyx stone, and precious stones, for the ephod and the rational,
Lezinduna zaletha amatshe ama-onikse lamatshe okubekwa, awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba,
28 And spices and oil for the lights, and for the preparing of ointment, and to make the incense of most sweet savour.
lamakha lamafutha awesibane, lawamafutha okugcoba, lawempepha elephunga elimnandi.
29 All both men and women with devout mind offered gifts, that the works might be done which the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses. All the children of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bawuletha umnikelo wesihle eNkosini. Bonke abesilisa labesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabenza bavuma ukulethela wonke umsebenzi iNkosi eyayiwulayile ukuthi wenziwe ngesandla sikaMozisi.
30 And Moses said to the children of Israel: Behold the Lord hath called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda.
UMozisi wasesithi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Bonani, iNkosi imbizile ngebizo uBhezaleli indodana kaUri, indodana kaHuri owesizwe sakoJuda;
31 And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding and knowledge and all learning.
imgcwalisile ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu enhlakanipheni, ekuqedisiseni, lelwazini, lemisebenzini yobungcitshi yonke,
32 To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,
lokuthi acebe ubungcitshi ukusebenza ngegolide langesiliva langethusi,
33 And in engraving stones, and in carpenters’ work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,
lekubazeni amatshe okufakwa, lekubazeni izigodo, ukusebenza emisebenzini yonke yeminwe ngobungcitshi.
34 He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan:
Ifakile laye enhliziyweni yakhe ukufundisa, yena loOholiyaba indodana kaAhisamaki owesizwe sakoDani.
35 Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters’ work and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.
Ibagcwalisile ngokuhlakanipha kwenhliziyo, ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wombazi, lowengcitshi, lowomfekethisi ngenalithi, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende, ngokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lowomeluki; besenza wonke umsebenzi beceba ubungcitshi.
