< Exodus 35 >

1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which YHWH 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 an holy day, a Sabbath of rest to YHWH: whosoever doeth 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 spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which YHWH commanded, saying,
Ekhuluma lesizwe sonke sako-Israyeli uMosi wathi, “Lokhu yikho uThixo athe kwenziwe:
5 Take ye from among you an offering unto YHWH: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of YHWH; 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 badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
izikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu kanye lezikhumba zezinyamazana eziqinileyo; lezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya;
8 And oil for the light, and spices for 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 every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that YHWH hath commanded;
Bonke abazingcitshi phakathi kwenu kumele beze bazokwenza konke lokho uThixo alaye ukuthi kwenziwe:
11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
ithabanikeli lethente lalo kanye lesisibekelo, ingwegwe, amathala, imithando enqumayo, izinsika lezisekelo;
12 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
umtshokotsho wobufakazi lemijabo yawo kanye lesisibekelo esiyisihlalo somusa lekhetheni lokulisitha;
13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
itafula lemijabo yalo lezitsha zonke kanye lesinkwa esiNgcwele,
14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
uluthi lwesibane sokukhanyisa kanye lezitsha zalo, izibane lamafutha okukhanyisa,
15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in 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 his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
i-alithari leminikelo yokutshiswa leminxibo yokosa eyenziwe ngethusi, imijabo kanye lezitsha zalo zonke, inditshi yethusi kanye lesisekelo sayo,
17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door 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 cloths of service, to do service 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 they brought YHWH 's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, 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 bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto YHWH.
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 red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, 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 offer an offering of silver and brass brought an offering to YHWH: and every man, with whom was found shittim 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, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of 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 goats' hair.
Kanjalo bonke abesifazane ababezimisele futhi belobuciko beluka ngoboya bembuzi.
27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and 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 spice, and 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 willing offering unto YHWH, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which YHWH had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
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, YHWH hath called by name Bezaleel 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 Elohim, 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 curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
ukuba adwebe ngobungcitshi isimo sezinto ezizabazwa ngegolide, isiliva kanye lethusi,
33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
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 Aholiab, 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 work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
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.
