Exodus 30
1 And you shall make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shall you make it.
Uzakwenza lelathi lokutshisela impepha, ulenze ngesihlahla sesinga.
2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
Ubude balo bube yingalo, lobubanzi balo ingalo, lilingane inhlangothi zozine; lokuphakama kwalo kube zingalo ezimbili; impondo zalo zizavela kulo.
3 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and you shall make unto it a crown of gold round about.
Njalo ulihuqe ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ingaphezulu yalo, lenhlangothi zalo ezilizingelezeleyo, lempondo zalo; wenze kulo umqolo wegolide olizingelezeleyo.
4 And two golden rings shall you make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shall you make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it likewise.
Wenze njalo amasongo amabili egolide, ngaphansi komqolo walo, enhlangothini ezimbili zalo; wenze enhlangothini zalo zombili; azakuba zindawo zemijabo ezokulithwala ngayo.
5 And you shall make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Njalo wenze imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide.
6 And you shall put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Uzalibeka phambi kweveyili elingasemtshokotshweni wobufakazi, phambi kwesihlalo somusa esiphezu kobufakazi, lapho engizahlangana khona lawe.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
Njalo uAroni atshisele kulo impepha elephunga elimnandi ukusa ngokusa, eselungise izibane uzayitshisa;
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
lapho uAroni elumathisa izibane kusihlwa, ayitshise; yimpepha eqhubekayo phambi kweNkosi ezizukulwaneni zenu.
9 All of you shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor food offering; neither shall all of you pour drink offering thereon.
Linganikeleli kulo impepha engejwayelekanga kumbe umnikelo wokutshiswa kumbe umnikelo wokudla; njalo lingatheli kulo umnikelo wokunathwayo.
10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
UAroni uzakwenza inhlawulo yokuthula empondweni zalo kanye ngomnyaka, ngegazi lomnikelo wesono wezinhlawulo zokuthula; kanye ngomnyaka uzakwenza inhlawulo yokuthula kulo ezizukulwaneni zenu; liyingcwelengcwele eNkosini.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi yathi:
12 When you take the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when you number them; that there be no plague among them, when you number them.
Lapho uthatha inani lonke labantwana bakoIsrayeli, njengokubalwa kwabo, bazanika ngulowo lalowo ihlawulo ngomphefumulo wakhe eNkosini, nxa ubabala; ukuze kungabi lenhlupheko phakathi kwabo, nxa ubabala.
13 This they shall give, every one that passes among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs: ) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
Bazanika lokhu, wonke odlulela kwababaliweyo, ingxenye yeshekeli, njengokweshekeli lendlu engcwele - ishekeli lingamagera angamatshumi amabili - ingxenye yeshekeli ngumnikelo eNkosini.
14 Every one that passes among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
Wonke odlulela kwababaliweyo, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, anikele umnikelo weNkosi.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
Abanothileyo bangadlulisi, labayanga banganciphisi ingxenye yeshekeli, lapho linikela umnikelo weNkosi, ukwenzela imiphefumulo yenu inhlawulo yokuthula.
16 And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
Uzathatha imali yenhlawulo zokuthula ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, uyinikele inkonzo yethente lenhlangano, ukuthi ibe yisikhumbuzo sabantwana bakoIsrayeli phambi kweNkosi, ukwenzela imiphefumulo yenu inhlawulo yokuthula.
17 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi yathi:
18 You shall also make a vessel that holds water of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash likewise: and you shall put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and you shall put water therein.
Uzakwenza lenditshi yethusi yokugezela elonyawo lwayo lwethusi, ukugezela kuyo; uyibeke phakathi laphakathi kwethente lenhlangano lelathi, uthele kuyo amanzi,
19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
njalo uAroni lamadodana akhe bagezele kuyo izandla zabo lenyawo zabo.
20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
Nxa bengena ethenteni lenhlangano bazageza ngamanzi, ukuze bangafi, loba besondela elathini ukukhonza, ukutshisa umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
Ngakho bazageza izandla zabo lenyawo zabo ukuze bangafi; njalo kuzakuba kubo yisimiso esilaphakade, kuye lakunzalo yakhe ezizukulwaneni zabo.
22 Moreover the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yakhuluma futhi kuMozisi yathi:
23 Take you also unto you principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
Wena-ke, zithathele amakha aqakathekileyo, imure elizigelezelayo elingamashekeli angamakhulu amahlanu, lekinamoni elilephunga elimnandi ingxenye yalokho, elingamashekeli angamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu, lekalamu elilephunga elimnandi elingamashekeli angamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu,
24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
lekhasiya elingamashekeli angamakhulu amahlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, lamafutha omhlwathi alihini;
25 And you shall make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the are of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
wenze lokhu kube ngamafutha angcwele okugcoba, amakha axutshanisiweyo njengokwenza komenzi wamakha; azakuba ngamafutha angcwele okugcoba.
26 And you shall anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
Uzagcoba ngawo ithente lenhlangano lomtshokotsho wobufakazi,
27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
letafula lezitsha zalo zonke, loluthi lwesibane lezitsha zalo, lelathi lempepha,
28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the vessel that holds water and his foot.
lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lezitsha zalo zonke, lenditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo;
29 And you shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever touches them shall be holy.
ukungcwelise ukuze kube yingcwelengcwele; loba yini okukuthintayo kuzakuba ngcwele.
30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Ugcobe laye uAroni lamadodana akhe, ubangcwelise ukuze bangisebenzele njengabapristi.
31 And you shall speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
Ukhulume kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Lokhu kuzakuba kimi ngamafutha angcwele okugcoba ezizukulwaneni zenu;
32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall all of you make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
angabothelwa emzimbeni womuntu; njalo lingawenzi anjengawo ngokwenziwa kwawo; angcwele, azakuba ngcwele kini.
33 Whosoever compounds any like it, or whosoever puts any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
Loba ngubani owenza anjengawo, loba ewafaka kowemzini, uzaqunywa asuke ebantwini bakibo.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto you sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zithathele amakha amnandi, isitakete leonika legalibanu, amakha amnandi lenhlaka ecengekileyo, kube yizabelo ezilinganayo;
35 And you shall make it a perfume, a confection after the are of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
wenze kube yimpepha, amakha axutshanisiweyo njengokwenza komenzi wamakha, itshwayiwe, icengekile, ingcwele;
36 And you shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with you: it shall be unto you most holy.
uchole okwayo kucolisiseke, ubeke okwayo phambi kobufakazi ethenteni lenhlangano, lapho engizahlangana khona lawe; izakuba yingcwelengcwele kini.
37 And as for the perfume which you shall make, all of you shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto you holy for the LORD.
Kodwa impepha ozayenza, lingazenzeli yona njengokwenziwa kwayo; izakuba ngcwele kuwe, yenzelwe iNkosi.
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
Loba ngubani ozakwenza enjengayo ukuyinuka, uzaqunywa asuke ebantwini bakibo.
