U-Eksodusi 25
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli bangilethele umnikelo. Uzakwamukela umnikelo emuntwini munye ngamunye ofuqwa yinhliziyo yakhe ukuthi anikele.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him.
3 Le yiyo iminikelo ozayamukela nxa sebenikela: igolide, isiliva kanye lethusi,
And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,
4 okwelukiweyo lamalembu aluhlaza, ayibubende kanye labomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo, loboya bembuzi,
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],
5 izikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu, kanye lezikhumba zezinyamazana eziqinileyo, lezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya,
and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,
6 amafutha e-oliva awokukhanyisa isibane, amakha azasetshenziswa lamafutha okugcoba abakhethiweyo lephunga lempepha elimnandi,
oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the spices,
7 amatshe e-onikisi, lamanye amatshe aligugu azathungelwa esembathweni semahlombe lesesifubeni.
shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.
8 Bangakhele indlu engcwele, ngalokho ngizahlala phakathi kwabo.
And they have made a sanctuary for Me, and I have dwelt in their midst;
9 Yenza ithabanikeli leli kanye leziceciso zalo ngendlela engizakutshengisa yona.”
according to all that which I am showing you, the pattern of the Dwelling Place, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so 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 have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
11 Lilihuqe ngegolide elicolekileyo, ngaphakathi langaphandle, ubuye ulizingelezele ngomqolo wegolide.
and you have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around.
12 Libumbele amasongo amane egolide liwanamathisele ezinyaweni zalo zozine, amabili kwelinye icele kuthi amabili kwelinye njalo.
And you have cast four rings of gold for it, and have put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
13 Beselisenza imijabo ngesihlahla somʼakhakhiya liyihuqe ngegolide.
and you have made poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] gold,
14 Hlomani imijabo kulawo masongo asemaceleni omtshokotsho kube yizibambo.
and have brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark by them;
15 Izigodo lezi zizahlala emasongweni alumtshokotsho, zingakhitshwa.
the poles are in the rings of the Ark, they are not turned aside from it;
16 Beselifaka ubufakazi emtshokotshweni engizakunika bona.
and you have put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark.
17 Yenzani isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicolekileyo, ubude baso bube zingalo ezimbili ezilengxenye lengxenye eyodwa ububanzi.
And you have made a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
18 Lizakwenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide elikhandiweyo, liwenze ekucineni kwesisibekelo esiyisihlalo somusa emaceleni womabili.
and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering;
19 Yenzani ikherubhi elilodwa nganxanye kuthi ngakwelinye icele lenze elinye, uzawenza amakherubhi abe yinto yinye lesisibekelo emaceleni womabili.
and make one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; at the propitiatory covering you make the cherubim on its two ends.
20 Amakherubhi kumele elulele amaphiko awo phezulu embese isisibekelo ngawo. Kuzamele amakherubhi akhangelane, ubuso bawo bukhangele isisibekelo.
And the cherubim have been spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another—the faces of the cherubim are toward the propitiatory covering.
21 Bekani isisibekelo phezu komtshokotsho, ubusufaka ubufakazi engizakunika bona ebhokisini lesivumelwano.
And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark;
22 Kulapho engizahlangana lawe khona ngikunika imithetho ka-Israyeli ngisesihlalweni somusa, phakathi laphakathi kwamakherubhi aphezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi.”
and I have met with you there, and have spoken with you from off the propitiatory covering (from between the two cherubim, which [are] on the Ark of the Testimony) all that which I command you concerning the sons of Israel.
23 “Bazani itafula ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya, ubude bayo bube zingalo ezimbili, ububanzi bayo bube yingalo eyodwa, kuthi ukudepha kwayo kube yingalo elengxenye.
And you have made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,
24 Liyihuqe ngegolide elicolekileyo, beseliyizingelezela ngomthando wegolide.
and have overlaid it [with] pure gold, and have made a crown of gold for it all around,
25 Lenze kuyo ibhanti eliyizingelezileyo, elilingana lobubanzi besandla, beselibumbela kuyo umthando wegolide phezu kwebhanti.
and have made a border of a handbreadth for it all around, and have made a crown of gold for its border all around.
26 Lenze amasongo amane egolide liwafake emagumbini womane enyaweni zetafula.
And you have made four rings of gold for it, and have put the rings on the four corners, which [are] at its four feet;
27 Amasongo kumele asondelelane lebhanti ukuze abambe imijabo ezasetshenziswa ukuthwala itafula.
close by the border are the rings for places for poles to carry the table;
28 Lungisani imijabo ngesihlahla somʼakhakhiya, liyihuqe ngegolide ukuze lithwale itafula ngayo.
and you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold, and the table has been carried with them;
29 Njalo yenzani imiganu lezinditshi zayo ngegolide elicolekileyo kanye lenkezo, imiganu eyingubhe lezitsha zokuthululela iminikelo.
and you have made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; you make them of pure gold;
30 Libeke etafuleni isinkwa esiNgcwele ukuze sibe phambi kwami ngezikhathi zonke.”
and you have put Bread of the Presentation on the table before Me continually.
31 “Lizakwenza uluthi lwesibane ngegolide elicolekileyo. Likhande isidindi salo lomqwayi walo, imbizana zalo lamahlumela alo lamaluba alo likwenze kube yinto yinye.
And you have made a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand is made of beaten work; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers are of the same;
32 Ingatsha eziyisithupha zixhunywe emaceleni oluthi, ezintathu nganxanye kuthi ezintathu kwelinye icele.
and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of the first side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the second 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 calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower—so for the six branches which are coming out from the lampstand.
34 Kuzakuthi oluthini lwesibane kube lezimbizana ezine ezibunjwe okwamaluba e-alimondi, zilamahlumela lamaluba.
And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knobs and its 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 a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand;
36 Amahlumela lezingatsha kuzakuba yinto yinye loluthi lwesibane, kukhandwe ngegolide elicolekileyo.
their knobs and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;
37 Ngakho lizalwenzela izibane eziyisikhombisa lizimise phezu kwalo ukuze zikhanyise phambi kwalo.
and you have made its seven lamps, and [one] has caused its lamps to go up, and it has given light over [and] beyond its front.
38 Incijana zentambo lembizana zalo zibe ngezegolide elicolekileyo.
And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;
39 Uluthi lwesibane kanye lakho konke okuphathelene laso kuzenziwa ngegolide elicolekileyo eliyisisindo sethalenta elilodwa.
he makes it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels.
40 Qaphela ukuba wenze konke njengalokhu owakutshengiswa entabeni.”
Now see and make [them] by their pattern which you are shown on the mountain.”
