Exodus 37
1 AND Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
UBhezaleli wasewenza umtshokotsho ngesihlahla sesinga, ubude bawo babuzingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi bawo babuyingalo lengxenye, lokuphakama kwawo kwakuyingalo lengxenye.
2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
Wawuhuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo ngaphakathi langaphandle, wawenzela umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
Wawubumbela ngokuncibilikisa futhi amasongo amane egolide enyaweni zawo zozine, kuze kuthi amasongo amabili ayekolunye uhlangothi lamasongo amabili kolunye uhlangothi.
4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Wenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, wayihuqa ngegolide.
5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
Wayifaka imijabo emasongweni enhlangothini zomtshokotsho ukuthwala umtshokotsho.
6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
Wenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ubude baso babuzingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi baso babuyingalo lengxenye.
7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
Wenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, wawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avela emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa,
8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
elinye ikherubhi livela ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livela ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi; wawenza amakherubhi amabili evela esihlalweni somusa evela emaphethelweni womabili aso.
9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
Amakherubhi elula impiko ezimbili ngaphezulu, embomboza isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo babukhangelene; ubuso bamakherubhi babukhangele isihlalo somusa.
10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
Njalo wenza itafula ngesihlahla sesinga, ubude balo babuzingalo ezimbili, lobubanzi balo babuyingalo, lokuphakama kwalo kwakuyingalo lengxenye.
11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
Walibumbela ngokuncibilikisa amasongo amane egolide, wawafaka amasongo ezingonsini ezine ezazisenyaweni zozine zalo.
