U-Eksodusi 31

1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

2 “Khangela, sengikhethe uBhezaleli indodana ka-Uri oyindodana kaHuri owesizwe sikaJuda

See I have called by name Bezalel [the] son of Uri [the] son of Hur of [the] tribe of Judah.

3 ngamgcwalisa ngomoya kaNkulunkulu, ukuhlakanipha, ukuqedisisa lolwazi ekwenzeni yonke imisebenzi yobungcitshi

And I have filled him [the] spirit of God with skill and with understanding and with knowledge and with all workmanship.

4 ukuze adwebe imisebenzi yobungcitshi ngesimo sezinto ezenziwa ngegolide, isiliva kanye lethusi,

To design designs to work in gold and in silver and in bronze.

5 abaze amatshe awabeke kuhle, abaze izigodo kanye lokwenza yonke imisebenzi yomuntu oleminwe lobungcwethi.

And in carving of stone to fill and in carving of wood to work in all workmanship.

6 Phezu kwalokho, ngikhethe lo-Oholiyabhi indodana ka-Ahisamakhi, owesizwe sikaDani ukuba amncedise. Nginike ulwazi kuzozonke izingcitshi ukuba zenze konke engikulaye ukuba kwenziwe:

And I here! I have appointed with him Oholiab [the] son of Ahisamach of [the] tribe of Dan and in [the] heart of every [person] skillful of heart I have put skill and they will make all that I have commanded you.

7 ithente lokuhlangana, umtshokotsho wobufakazi, isihlalo somusa esikuwo, lakho konke okunye okokuhlobisa ithente:

- [the] tent of Meeting and the ark of the testimony and the atonement cover which [will be] on it and all [the] articles of the tent.

8 itafula lezitsha zalo, uluthi lwesibane lwegolide elicolekileyo lezitsha zalo zonke, i-alithari lempepha,

And the table and articles its and the lampstand pure and all articles its and [the] altar of incense.

9 i-alithari lomnikelo wokutshiswa kanye lezitsha zalo zonke, lomkolo kanye lezinyawo zawo

And [the] altar of the burnt offering and all articles its and the laver and base its.

10 lezembatho ezelukiweyo, lezembatho ezingcwele zika-Aroni umphristi kanye lezembatho zamadodana akhe ezomsebenzi wabo wobuphristi,

And [the] garments of the woven material and [the] garments of the holiness for Aaron the priest and [the] garments of sons his to serve as priests.

11 lamafutha okugcobela isikhundla, lempepha enuka mnandi eyeNdawo eNgcwele. Kumele bakwenze njengoba ngikulayile.”

And [the] oil of anointing and [the] incense of the perfume for the holy place according to all that I have commanded you they will do.

12 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi,

And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.

13 “Batshele abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Kumele ligcine amaSabatha ami. Lokhu kuzakuba luphawu phakathi kwami lani kuzizukulwane zenu ezizayo, ukuze lazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo olenza libengcwele.

And you speak to [the] people of Israel saying surely sabbaths my you will observe for [is] a sign it between me and between you to generations your to know that I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart you.

14 Gcinani iSabatha ngoba lingcwele kini. Lowo olonayo kumele abulawe, lalowo osebenzayo ngalolosuku uzasuswa ebantwini bakibo.

And you will observe the sabbath for [is] a holy thing it to you [those who] profane it certainly he will be put to death for every [one who] does on it work and it will be cut off the person that from [the] midst of kinspeople its.

15 Umsebenzi kawenziwe okwensuku eziyisithupha, kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa luliSabatha lokuphumula, lungcwele kuThixo. Lowo osebenzayo ngosuku lweSabatha kumele abulawe.

Six days it will be done work and [will be] on the day seventh a sabbath of sabbath observance a holy thing to Yahweh every [one who] does work on [the] day of the sabbath certainly he will be put to death.

16 Abako-Israyeli kumele bagcine iSabatha, baligcine kuzizukulwane zabo ezizayo njengesivumelwano esingapheliyo.

And they will observe [the] people of Israel the sabbath by celebrating the sabbath to generations their a covenant of perpetuity.

17 Lizakuba luphawu phakathi kwami labako-Israyeli nini lanini. Ngoba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uThixo wenza amazulu lomhlaba, kwathi ngosuku lwesikhombisa waphumula.’”

Between me and between [the] people of Israel [is] a sign it for ever for six days he made Yahweh the heavens and the earth and on the day seventh he rested and he refreshed himself.

18 Kwathi lapho uThixo eseqedile ukukhuluma loMosi entabeni yaseSinayi wamnika izibhebhedu ezimbili zamatshe obufakazi, izibhebhedu zamatshe alotshwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu.

And he gave to Moses when finished he to speak with him on [the] mountain of Sinai [the] two [the] tablets of the testimony tablets of stone written by [the] finger of God.
