U-Eksodusi 36
1 Ngakho uBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabhi lomuntu wonke uThixo amuphe ubungcwethi lamandla okwazi ukwenza wonke lumsebenzi wokwakha indlu engcwele, kumele benze umsebenzi njengokulaywa kwabo nguThixo.”
Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.
2 UMosi wasebiza uBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabhi labo bonke abalobungcwethi, uThixo ayebaphe amandla lowayezimisele ukuzokwenza lowomsebenzi.
And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
3 Bemukela abakuphiwa nguMosi okwakuyiminikelo yabako-Israyeli benikelela ukwakhiwa kwendlu engcwele. Abantu baqhubeka beletha iminikelo ngokukhululeka kwabo ukusa kwamalanga wonke.
He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.
4 Ngakho zonke izingcitshi ezazisenza umsebenzi wonke wokwakha indlu engcwele zatshiya yonke imisebenzi yazo
Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
5 zathi kuMosi, “Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu kulalokho uThixo alaya ukuba kwenziwe.”
Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
6 Ngakho uMosi wakhupha isiqondiso basebethumela ilizwi ezihonqweni elithi, “Kakho owesilisa loba owesifazane okusamele enze olunye ulutho ukuthi lube ngumnikelo wendlu engcwele.” Ngalokho abantu bavinjelwa ukuletha okunye futhi,
Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7 ngoba abasebelakho kwasekukunengi okwedlula lokho okwakuzaphetha umsebenzi.
Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.
8 Wonke amadoda alobungcwethi phakathi kwabasebenzayo akha ithabanikeli ngamakhetheni alitshumi enziwe ngelembu eliphothwe kuhle ngentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende kanye lezibomvu, laceciswe ngamakherubhi elukelwa kuhle yingcitshi.
And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:
9 Wonke amakhetheni ayelingana ubude bawo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili njalo ububanzi ezingalo ezine.
The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.
10 Babambanisa amakhetheni amahlanu ndawonye, benza njalo lakwamanye amahlanu.
And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
11 Basebesenza izihitshela ngelembu eliluhlaza belandela umphetho wekhetheni elisekucineni kwelixha lakuqala, kwenziwa okufananayo elixheni lesibili.
He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,
12 Benza njalo ezinye izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu ekhethenini elilodwa, benza futhi ezinye izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu ekhethenini lokucina lelixha lesibili, izihitshela zazikhangelene.
That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.
13 Basebesenza ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, bazisebenzisa ukuhlanganisa izixha zombili zamakhetheni ukuze ithabanikeli libe yintonye.
Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
14 Benza amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi aba ngawethente lokubekwa phezu kwethabanikeli, wonke abalitshumi lanye.
He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
15 Wonke amakhetheni alitshumi lanye ayelingana, ezingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu ubude, ububanzi ezingalo ezine.
One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
16 Bahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu aba lilixha layisithupha kwelinye ilixha.
Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
17 Benza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu zilandela umphetho wekhetheni elisekucineni kwelixha lakuqala, benza okufananayo ekhethenini lelixha lesibili.
And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
18 Balungisa ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu ukuze babophe ngazo ithente libe yinto yinye.
And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
19 Benza isembeso sethente ngezikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu, kwathi ngaphezu kwalokho benza isembeso ngezikhumba eziqinileyo.
He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.
20 Benza amathala ethabanikeli okumiswa ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya.
He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
21 Ithala linye lalilide okuzingalo ezilitshumi, kwathi ububanzi laba yingalo elengxenye,
The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
22 kulemisuka emibili ephutsha ilinganisene. Wonke amathala ethabanikeli enziwa ngale indlela.
There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 Benza amathala ecele elisezansi kwethabanikeli angamatshumi amabili,
Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
24 benza izisekelo zesiliva ezingamatshumi amane ezazihamba ngaphansi kwawo, izisekelo ezimbili ethaleni linye, isisekelo sinye ngaphansi kwensika inye ngayinye.
With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.
25 Kuleli elinye icele, icele elisenyakatho kwethabanikeli, bamisa amathala angamatshumi amabili
At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.
26 kanye lezisekelo zesiliva ezingamatshumi amane, ezimbili ngaphansi kwethala lilinye.
With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
27 Benza amathala ayisithupha ecele elisekucineni ngentshonalanga kwethabanikeli,
But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
28 benza amathala amabili emagumbini asekucineni.
And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
29 Emagumbini womabili amathala ayelohlonzi oluphindwe kabili kusuka phansi kusiya phezulu, ehlanganiswe ngesongo elilodwa njalo womabili enziwa ngokufananayo.
Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
30 Ngakho kwenziwa amathala ayisificaminwembili lezisekelo zesiliva ezilitshumi lesithupha, zimbili ngaphansi kwethala linye.
So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
31 Benza njalo imithando enqumayo ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya: emihlanu ingeyamathala akwelinye icele lethabanikeli,
He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
32 emihlanu yayingeyakwelinye icele, kwathi njalo eminye emihlanu yaba ngeyamathala asentshonalanga ekucineni kwethabanikeli.
And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.
33 Umthando onquma phakathi bawenza wedlula usuka kwelinye icele usiya kwelinye phakathi laphakathi kwamathala.
He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
34 Bahuqa amathala ngegolide benza amasongo ngegolide abamba imithando. Njalo bahuqa imithando ngegolide.
And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.
35 Benza ikhetheni ngelembu elicolekileyo, eliphethwe kuhle ngentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu, aba lamakherubhi elukelwe kuwo ngumuntu oleminwe.
He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
36 Bawenzela izinsika ezine ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya bazihuqa ngegolide. Izinsika bazenzela ingwegwe zegolide njalo bawamisela lezisekelo ezine zesiliva.
And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.
37 Benza ikhetheni lesango lethente ngelembu elicolekileyo elilentambo eziphothiweyo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu, kwaba ngumsebenzi wombalazi ngokuthunga;
He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.
38 njalo benza izinsika ezinhlanu zilengwegwe zazo. Bahuqa izihloko zensika kanye lamabhanti azo ngegolide njalo benza lezisekelo ezinhlanu ngethusi.
And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
