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.”
Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, —according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.
2 UMosi wasebiza uBhezaleli, u-Oholiyabhi labo bonke abalobungcwethi, uThixo ayebaphe amandla lowayezimisele ukuzokwenza lowomsebenzi.
So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, —every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.
3 Bemukela abakuphiwa nguMosi okwakuyiminikelo yabako-Israyeli benikelela ukwakhiwa kwendlu engcwele. Abantu baqhubeka beletha iminikelo ngokukhululeka kwabo ukusa kwamalanga wonke.
And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel had brought in for the work of the holy service to do it, —howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free-will offerings, morning by morning.
4 Ngakho zonke izingcitshi ezazisenza umsebenzi wonke wokwakha indlu engcwele zatshiya yonke imisebenzi yazo
Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, —man by man from his work which, they, were doing;
5 zathi kuMosi, “Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu kulalokho uThixo alaya ukuba kwenziwe.”
and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in, —[more] than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.
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,
So Moses gave commandment and they passed a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Let, neither man nor woman, make any more material for the holy heave-offering. So the people were restrained from bringing in.
7 ngoba abasebelakho kwasekukunengi okwedlula lokho okwakuzaphetha umsebenzi.
For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, —and to spare.
8 Wonke amadoda alobungcwethi phakathi kwabasebenzayo akha ithabanikeli ngamakhetheni alitshumi enziwe ngelembu eliphothwe kuhle ngentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende kanye lezibomvu, laceciswe ngamakherubhi elukelwa kuhle yingcitshi.
Then did all the wise-hearted among the workers of the material make the habitation of ten curtains, of fine-twined linen, and blue and purple and crimson, with cherubim the work of the skilful weaver, did he make them.
9 Wonke amakhetheni ayelingana ubude bawo buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili njalo ububanzi ezingalo ezine.
The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, —one measure, had all the curtains.
10 Babambanisa amakhetheni amahlanu ndawonye, benza njalo lakwamanye amahlanu.
And he joined the [first] five curtains, one to another, —and the [other] five curtains, joined he one to another,
11 Basebesenza izihitshela ngelembu eliluhlaza belandela umphetho wekhetheni elisekucineni kwelixha lakuqala, kwenziwa okufananayo elixheni lesibili.
And he made loops of blue upon the border of the first curtain, at the edge of the set, —thus, made he in the border of the other curtain at the edge of the second set:
12 Benza njalo ezinye izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu ekhethenini elilodwa, benza futhi ezinye izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu ekhethenini lokucina lelixha lesibili, izihitshela zazikhangelene.
Fifty loops, made he in the first curtain, and fifty loops, made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, —the loops being, opposite, one to another.
13 Basebesenza ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, bazisebenzisa ukuhlanganisa izixha zombili zamakhetheni ukuze ithabanikeli libe yintonye.
And he made fifty clasps of gold, —and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, and so the habitation became, one.
14 Benza amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi aba ngawethente lokubekwa phezu kwethabanikeli, wonke abalitshumi lanye.
And he made curtains of goat’s-hair, for the tent over the habitation, eleven curtains, did he make them:
15 Wonke amakhetheni alitshumi lanye ayelingana, ezingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu ubude, ububanzi ezingalo ezine.
the length of each curtain, was thirty cubits, and, four cubits, was the breath of each curtain, —one measure, had the eleven curtains.
16 Bahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu aba lilixha layisithupha kwelinye ilixha.
And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, —and the six curtains, by themselves.
17 Benza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu zilandela umphetho wekhetheni elisekucineni kwelixha lakuqala, benza okufananayo ekhethenini lelixha lesibili.
And he made fifty loops upon the border of the curtain that was outmost in the one set and fifty loops, made he upon the border of the curtain of the second set.
18 Balungisa ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu ukuze babophe ngazo ithente libe yinto yinye.
And he made fifty clasps of bronze, —to join together the tent, that it might become one.
19 Benza isembeso sethente ngezikhumba zenqama eziphendulwe ngomphendulo obomvu, kwathi ngaphezu kwalokho benza isembeso ngezikhumba eziqinileyo.
And he made a covering to the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badgers’ skins, above.
20 Benza amathala ethabanikeli okumiswa ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya.
And he made the boards for the habitation, of acacia wood, for standing up:
21 Ithala linye lalilide okuzingalo ezilitshumi, kwathi ububanzi laba yingalo elengxenye,
ten cubits, the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board:
22 kulemisuka emibili ephutsha ilinganisene. Wonke amathala ethabanikeli enziwa ngale indlela.
two tenons to each board, united one to another, —thus, made he for all the boards of the habitation.
23 Benza amathala ecele elisezansi kwethabanikeli angamatshumi amabili,
And he made the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, for the south side southwards;
24 benza izisekelo zesiliva ezingamatshumi amane ezazihamba ngaphansi kwawo, izisekelo ezimbili ethaleni linye, isisekelo sinye ngaphansi kwensika inye ngayinye.
and, forty sockets of silver, made he, under the twenty boards, two sockets, under the first board, for its two tenons, and, two sockets, under the next board for its two tenons.
25 Kuleli elinye icele, icele elisenyakatho kwethabanikeli, bamisa amathala angamatshumi amabili
And for the second side of the habitation to the north quarter, made he twenty boards;
26 kanye lezisekelo zesiliva ezingamatshumi amane, ezimbili ngaphansi kwethala lilinye.
and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets, under the first board, and, two sockets, under the next board.
27 Benza amathala ayisithupha ecele elisekucineni ngentshonalanga kwethabanikeli,
And, for the hinder part of the habitation westward, made he six boards;
28 benza amathala amabili emagumbini asekucineni.
and two boards, made he for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart.
29 Emagumbini womabili amathala ayelohlonzi oluphindwe kabili kusuka phansi kusiya phezulu, ehlanganiswe ngesongo elilodwa njalo womabili enziwa ngokufananayo.
Thus were they to be double beneath, and at the same time, should they be entire, at the top thereof, into each ring, thus, did he for them both, for the two corners.
30 Ngakho kwenziwa amathala ayisificaminwembili lezisekelo zesiliva ezilitshumi lesithupha, zimbili ngaphansi kwethala linye.
Thus were there to be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, were sixteen sockets, two sockets apiece under each board.
31 Benza njalo imithando enqumayo ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya: emihlanu ingeyamathala akwelinye icele lethabanikeli,
And he made bars of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the first side of the habitation,
32 emihlanu yayingeyakwelinye icele, kwathi njalo eminye emihlanu yaba ngeyamathala asentshonalanga ekucineni kwethabanikeli.
and five bars, for the boards of the other side of the habitation, and, five bars, for the boards of the habitation at the hinderpart westward.
33 Umthando onquma phakathi bawenza wedlula usuka kwelinye icele usiya kwelinye phakathi laphakathi kwamathala.
And he made the middle bar, —to run along in the midst of the boards, from end to end.
34 Bahuqa amathala ngegolide benza amasongo ngegolide abamba imithando. Njalo bahuqa imithando ngegolide.
And the boards, overlaid he with gold and their rings, made he of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35 Benza ikhetheni ngelembu elicolekileyo, eliphethwe kuhle ngentambo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu, aba lamakherubhi elukelwe kuwo ngumuntu oleminwe.
And he made the veil, of blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, —of the work of a skilful weaver, made he it, with cherubim.
36 Bawenzela izinsika ezine ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya bazihuqa ngegolide. Izinsika bazenzela ingwegwe zegolide njalo bawamisela lezisekelo ezine zesiliva.
And he made for it four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold their hooks of gold, and cast for them, four sockets of silver.
37 Benza ikhetheni lesango lethente ngelembu elicolekileyo elilentambo eziphothiweyo eziluhlaza, eziyibubende lezibomvu, kwaba ngumsebenzi wombalazi ngokuthunga;
And he made a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue and purple and crimson and fine twined linen, 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 the five pillars thereof and their hooks, and he overlaid their capitals and their cross-rods, with gold, but, their five sockets, were of bronze.
