Exodus 35
1 And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them: 'These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
UMosi wabuthanisa isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli wathi kuso, “Lokhu yikho uThixo alilaye ukuba likwenze:
2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.
Okwensuku eziyisithupha lizaqhuba imisebenzi, kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa luzakuba lusuku lwenu olungcwele, iSabatha lokuphumula kuThixo. Loba ngubani ozakwenza umsebenzi ngalolosuku kuzamele abulawe.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.'
Lingabasi umlilo loba kungaphi elihlala khona ngosuku lweSabatha.”
4 And Moses spoke unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying:
Ekhuluma lesizwe sonke sako-Israyeli uMosi wathi, “Lokhu yikho uThixo athe kwenziwe:
5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD, whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the LORD'S offering: gold, and silver, and brass;
Kulokho elilakho khiphani umnikelo kaThixo. Wonke ozimiseleyo ukuletha kuThixo umnikelo: wegolide, isiliva kanye lethusi,
6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair;
intambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende kanye lezibomvu; lelembu elicolekileyo, uboya bembuzi,
7 and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia-wood;
izikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu kanye lezikhumba zezinyamazana eziqinileyo; lezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya;
8 and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;
amafutha e-oliva awokukhanyisa isibane, amakha azasetshenziswa lamafutha okugcoba abakhethiweyo lephunga lempepha elimnandi,
9 and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
amatshe e-onikisi lamanye amatshe aligugu azathungelwa esembathweni semahlombe lesesifubeni.
10 And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded:
Bonke abazingcitshi phakathi kwenu kumele beze bazokwenza konke lokho uThixo alaye ukuthi kwenziwe:
11 the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
ithabanikeli lethente lalo kanye lesisibekelo, ingwegwe, amathala, imithando enqumayo, izinsika lezisekelo;
12 the ark, and the staves thereof, the ark-cover, and the veil of the screen;
umtshokotsho wobufakazi lemijabo yawo kanye lesisibekelo esiyisihlalo somusa lekhetheni lokulisitha;
13 the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the showbread;
itafula lemijabo yalo lezitsha zonke kanye lesinkwa esiNgcwele,
14 the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
uluthi lwesibane sokukhanyisa kanye lezitsha zalo, izibane lamafutha okukhanyisa,
15 and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
i-alithari lempepha lemijabo yalo, amafutha okugcoba abakhethiweyo kanye lempepha elephunga elimnandi, ikhetheni lomnyango esangweni lokuya ethabanikeleni,
16 the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;
i-alithari leminikelo yokutshiswa leminxibo yokosa eyenziwe ngethusi, imijabo kanye lezitsha zalo zonke, inditshi yethusi kanye lesisekelo sayo,
17 the hangings of the court, the pillars thereof, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;
amakhetheni eguma kanye lezinsika zalo lezisekelo, njalo lekhetheni lesango leguma,
18 the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords;
izikhonkwane zethente, ezethabanikeli kanye lezeguma, lamagoda azo,
19 the plaited garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.'
izembatho ezelukiweyo ezisetshenziswa ekuphatheni umsebenzi endaweni engcwele, zonke izembatho ezingcwele zika-Aroni umphristi kanye lezembatho zamadodana akhe abazisebenzisayo emsebenzini wobuphristi.”
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Ngemva kwalokho isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli sasuka phambi kukaMosi,
21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and brought the LORD'S offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments.
kwathi wonke umuntu owayezimisele lowayefuqwa yinhliziyo waletha umnikelo kuThixo ukuze usetshenziswe ethenteni lokuhlangana lakuzo zonke inkonzo zalo, kanye lakuzembatho ezingcwele.
22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought nose-rings, and ear-rings, and signet-rings, and girdles, all jewels of gold; even every man that brought an offering of gold unto the LORD.
Bonke ababezimisele, abesilisa labesifazane ngokufanayo, baletha izinto zokucecisa ezemihlobo ngemihlobo ezenziwe ngegolide: izipenede, amacici, indandatho kanye lazozonke izinto zokucecisa. Bonke baletha igolide labo kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kukaThixo.
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them.
Wonke umuntu owayelentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende, ezibomvu kumbe ilembu elicolekileyo, kumbe uboya bembuzi, izikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu loba izikhumba zenyamazana zolwandle wakuletha.
24 Every one that did set apart an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD'S offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia-wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Labo ababeleminikelo yesiliva kumbe eyethusi bayiletha njengomnikelo kuThixo, kanti laye wonke umuntu owayelezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya ezazingasetshenziswa kuloba yiwuphi umsebenzi, waziletha.
25 And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Wonke owesifazane olobuciko bokweluka waletha ayekweluke ngezandla zakhe, intambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu kumbe ilembu elicolekileyo.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.
Kanjalo bonke abesifazane ababezimisele futhi belobuciko beluka ngoboya bembuzi.
27 And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
Abakhokheli baletha amatshe aligugu e-onikisi kanye lamanye njalo amatshe aligugu ukuthi athungelwe emahlombe lasesifubeni sesembatho.
28 and the spice, and the oil, for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
Baletha njalo leziyoliso kanye lamafutha e-oliva awokukhanyisa lawokugcoba abakhethiweyo kanye lempepha elephunga elimnandi.
29 The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto the LORD; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses to be made.
Bonke abako-Israyeli abesilisa labesifazane ababezimisele baletha iminikelo ngokukhululeka kuThixo ukuze kwenziwe yonke imisebenzi uThixo ayelaye uMosi ukuthi bayenze.
30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel: 'See, the LORD hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
Ngalokho uMosi wathi kwabako-Israyeli, “Khangelani, uThixo usekhethe uBhezaleli indodana ka-Uri, indodana kaHuri, owesizwe sikaJuda,
31 And He hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.
njalo usemgcwalise ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, ukuhlakanipha, ukuqedisisa kanye lolwazi ekwenzeni yonke imisebenzi yobungcitshi
32 And to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
ukuba adwebe ngobungcitshi isimo sezinto ezizabazwa ngegolide, isiliva kanye lethusi,
33 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship.
ukubaza amatshe lokuwamisa, ukubaza izigodo njalo enze yonke imisebenzi yomuntu oleminwe lobungcitshi.
34 And He hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Njalo usenike uBhezaleli kanye lo-Oholiyabhi indodana ka-Ahisamakhi, owesizwe sikaDani ulwazi ekufundiseni abanye.
35 Them hath He filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the craftsman, and of the skilful workman, and of the weaver in colours, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise skilful works.
UThixo usebagcwalise ngobuciko bokwenza yonke imihlobo yemisebenzi njengezingcitshi, abadwebi kumbe ababumbi bezinto ezingathungwa kumbe ezingabazwa, abathungi beziceciso zentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu kanye lamalembu acolekileyo, labeluki, bonke bezingcitshi ezilolwazi olukhulu lababumbi bezinto ezingathungwa kumbe ezingabazwa.
