< Exodus 39 >
1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made plaited garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD 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 fine twined linen.
Wasesenza i-efodi ngegolide, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, lokubomvu, langelembu elicolekileyo lentambo ephothiweyo.
3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into threads, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skilful workman.
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, joined together; at the two ends was it joined together.
Basenzela izichibi zamahlombe ukusihlanganisa; sahlanganiswa emaceleni aso womabili.
5 And the skilfully woven band, that was upon it, wherewith to gird it on, was of the same piece and like the work thereof: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the LORD 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, inclosed in settings of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children 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, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Wasewabeka phezu kwezichibi ze-efodi, abe ngamatshe esikhumbuzo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
8 And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Wenza isembatho sesifuba ngomsebenzi wengcitshi, njengomsebenzi we-efodi, ngegolide, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo.
9 It was four-square; they made the breastplate double; a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double.
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: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd was 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 an emerald.
lomzila wesibili, i-emeraldi, isafire lendayimana;
12 And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
lomzila wesithathu, ijasinte, i-agate le-ametiste;
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were inclosed in fittings of gold in their settings.
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, like the engravings of a signet, 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 upon the breastplate plaited chains, 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 chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
bafaka amaketane amabili egolide emasongweni amabili emaceleni esembatho sesifuba.
18 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart 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 upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.
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 on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band 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 did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue, that it might be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD 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 robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
Wasesenza ibhatshi le-efodi ngomsebenzi owelukiweyo, lonke ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka;
23 and the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent.
lesikhala sebhatshi sasiphakathi laphakathi kwaso, njengesikhala sebhatshi lensimbi; isikhala sasilomphetho osizingelezeleyo ukuze singadabuki.
24 And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
Lemiphethweni yebhatshi benza amapomegranati ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, kuphothiwe.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe 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, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
ibhera lepomegranati, ibhera lepomegranati, emiphethweni yebhatshi kuzingeleze, ukusebenza, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
27 And they made the tunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
Basebebenzela oAroni lamadodana akhe izigqoko ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lomsebenzi owelukiweyo,
28 and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly head-tires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,
leqhiye yelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lezingowane ezinhle zelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, labokabhudula bangaphansi belembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo,
29 and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the weaver in colours; as the LORD commanded Moses.
lebhanti lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, umsebenzi womfekethisi ngenalithi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO THE LORD.
Benza lencence yomqhele ongcwele ngegolide elicwengekileyo, babhala phezu kwayo umbhalo, ngokubazwa kwendandatho elophawu ukuthi: UBUNGCWELE ENKOSINI.
31 And they tied unto it a thread of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Babophela kuyo intambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuze ibotshelwe eqhiyeni ngaphezulu; njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
32 Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting; and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
Waphela-ke umsebenzi wonke wethabhanekele lethente lenhlangano; njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bakwenza njengakho konke iNkosi eyakulaya kuMozisi; benza njalo.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;
Basebeletha ithabhanekele kuMozisi, ithente, lazo zonke impahla zalo, ingwegwe zalo, amapulanka alo, imithando yalo, lensika zalo, lezisekelo zalo,

42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
Njengakho konke iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi, ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli benza umsebenzi wonke.
43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it. And Moses blessed them.
UMozisi wasebona umsebenzi wonke, khangela-ke babewenze njengokulaya kweNkosi, babenze njalo; uMozisi wasebabusisa.
