U-Eksodusi 25
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli bangilethele umnikelo. Uzakwamukela umnikelo emuntwini munye ngamunye ofuqwa yinhliziyo yakhe ukuthi anikele.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart all of you shall take my offering.
3 Le yiyo iminikelo ozayamukela nxa sebenikela: igolide, isiliva kanye lethusi,
And this is the offering which all of you shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4 okwelukiweyo lamalembu aluhlaza, ayibubende kanye labomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo, loboya bembuzi,
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5 izikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu, kanye lezikhumba zezinyamazana eziqinileyo, lezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya,
And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
6 amafutha e-oliva awokukhanyisa isibane, amakha azasetshenziswa lamafutha okugcoba abakhethiweyo lephunga lempepha elimnandi,
Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7 amatshe e-onikisi, lamanye amatshe aligugu azathungelwa esembathweni semahlombe lesesifubeni.
Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8 Bangakhele indlu engcwele, ngalokho ngizahlala phakathi kwabo.
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9 Yenza ithabanikeli leli kanye leziceciso zalo ngendlela engizakutshengisa yona.”
According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall all of you make it.
10 “Kabenze umtshokotsho ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya, ubude bawo kube zingalo ezimbili ezilengxenye, ububanzi kube yingalo elengxenye njalo ukuyaphezulu kwawo kube yingalo elengxenye.
And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11 Lilihuqe ngegolide elicolekileyo, ngaphakathi langaphandle, ubuye ulizingelezele ngomqolo wegolide.
And you shall overlay it with pure gold, within and without shall you overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12 Libumbele amasongo amane egolide liwanamathisele ezinyaweni zalo zozine, amabili kwelinye icele kuthi amabili kwelinye njalo.
And you shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13 Beselisenza imijabo ngesihlahla somʼakhakhiya liyihuqe ngegolide.
And you shall make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14 Hlomani imijabo kulawo masongo asemaceleni omtshokotsho kube yizibambo.
And you shall put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15 Izigodo lezi zizahlala emasongweni alumtshokotsho, zingakhitshwa.
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16 Beselifaka ubufakazi emtshokotshweni engizakunika bona.
And you shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
17 Yenzani isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicolekileyo, ubude baso bube zingalo ezimbili ezilengxenye lengxenye eyodwa ububanzi.
And you shall make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18 Lizakwenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide elikhandiweyo, liwenze ekucineni kwesisibekelo esiyisihlalo somusa emaceleni womabili.
And you shall make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shall you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 Yenzani ikherubhi elilodwa nganxanye kuthi ngakwelinye icele lenze elinye, uzawenza amakherubhi abe yinto yinye lesisibekelo emaceleni womabili.
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall all of you make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
20 Amakherubhi kumele elulele amaphiko awo phezulu embese isisibekelo ngawo. Kuzamele amakherubhi akhangelane, ubuso bawo bukhangele isisibekelo.
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
21 Bekani isisibekelo phezu komtshokotsho, ubusufaka ubufakazi engizakunika bona ebhokisini lesivumelwano.
And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you.
22 Kulapho engizahlangana lawe khona ngikunika imithetho ka-Israyeli ngisesihlalweni somusa, phakathi laphakathi kwamakherubhi aphezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi.”
And there I will meet with you, and I will commune with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give you in commandment unto the children of Israel.
23 “Bazani itafula ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya, ubude bayo bube zingalo ezimbili, ububanzi bayo bube yingalo eyodwa, kuthi ukudepha kwayo kube yingalo elengxenye.
You shall also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
24 Liyihuqe ngegolide elicolekileyo, beseliyizingelezela ngomthando wegolide.
And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25 Lenze kuyo ibhanti eliyizingelezileyo, elilingana lobubanzi besandla, beselibumbela kuyo umthando wegolide phezu kwebhanti.
And you shall make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and you shall make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
26 Lenze amasongo amane egolide liwafake emagumbini womane enyaweni zetafula.
And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
27 Amasongo kumele asondelelane lebhanti ukuze abambe imijabo ezasetshenziswa ukuthwala itafula.
Opposite to the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
28 Lungisani imijabo ngesihlahla somʼakhakhiya, liyihuqe ngegolide ukuze lithwale itafula ngayo.
And you shall make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29 Njalo yenzani imiganu lezinditshi zayo ngegolide elicolekileyo kanye lenkezo, imiganu eyingubhe lezitsha zokuthululela iminikelo.
And you shall make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover likewise: of pure gold shall you make them.
30 Libeke etafuleni isinkwa esiNgcwele ukuze sibe phambi kwami ngezikhathi zonke.”
And you shall set upon the table showbread before me always.
31 “Lizakwenza uluthi lwesibane ngegolide elicolekileyo. Likhande isidindi salo lomqwayi walo, imbizana zalo lamahlumela alo lamaluba alo likwenze kube yinto yinye.
And you shall make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
32 Ingatsha eziyisithupha zixhunywe emaceleni oluthi, ezintathu nganxanye kuthi ezintathu kwelinye icele.
And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
33 Inkezo ezintathu ezibunjwe okwamaluba e-alimondi, amahlumela lamaluba kumele abe sogatsheni lunye, ezintathu egatsheni olulandelayo, kube njalo kuzozonke ingatsha ezixhunywe emqwayini woluthi lwesibane.
Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a the shape of round apples and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a the shape of round apples and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
34 Kuzakuthi oluthini lwesibane kube lezimbizana ezine ezibunjwe okwamaluba e-alimondi, zilamahlumela lamaluba.
And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
35 Kumele kube lehlumela ngaphansi kwengatsha ezimbili ezixhunywe oluthini lwesibane, ihlumela lesibili ngaphansi kwezinye ezimbili, kuthi ihlumela lesithathu lalo libe ngaphansi kwezinye njalo ezimbili, zonke ingatsha zibe yisithupha.
And there shall be a the shape of round apples under two branches of the same, and a the shape of round apples under two branches of the same, and a the shape of round apples under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
36 Amahlumela lezingatsha kuzakuba yinto yinye loluthi lwesibane, kukhandwe ngegolide elicolekileyo.
Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37 Ngakho lizalwenzela izibane eziyisikhombisa lizimise phezu kwalo ukuze zikhanyise phambi kwalo.
And you shall make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light opposite to it.
38 Incijana zentambo lembizana zalo zibe ngezegolide elicolekileyo.
And the tongs thereof, and the intruments for snuffings thereof, shall be of pure gold.
39 Uluthi lwesibane kanye lakho konke okuphathelene laso kuzenziwa ngegolide elicolekileyo eliyisisindo sethalenta elilodwa.
Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
40 Qaphela ukuba wenze konke njengalokhu owakutshengiswa entabeni.”
And look that you make them after their pattern, which was showed you in the mount.
