And Beseleel made also the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.
2 Walihuqa ngegolide elicolekileyo, ngaphakathi langaphandle, wabuye walizingelezela ngomqolo wegolide.
And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
3 Wawubumbela amasongo amane egolide wawanamathisela ezinyaweni zalo zozine, kwathi amasongo amabili kwelinye icele lamabili kwelinye njalo.
Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4 Wasebaza imijabo ngesihlahla somʼakhakhiya wayihuqa ngegolide.
And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
5 Wasehloma imijabo leyo emasongweni ayesemaceleni komtshokotsho wesivumelwano ukuze uthwalwe ngayo.
And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.
6 Wenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicolekileyo, ubude baso buzingalo ezimbili ezilengxenye lengxenye, ububanzi saba yingalo elengxenye.
He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.
7 Njalo wenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide elikhandiweyo ekucineni kwesihlalo somusa emaceleni womabili.
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:
8 Wenza ikherubhi elilodwa nganxanye kwathi kwelinye icele wenza elinye aba yinto yinye lesisibekelo.
One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
9 Amakherubhi ayelulele amaphiko awo phezulu, embese isisibekelo ngawo. Amakherubhi ayekhangelene, ubuso bawo bukhangele isisibekelo.
Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.
10 Babaza itafula ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya, ubude bayo babuzingalo ezimbili, ububanzi buyingalo eyodwa, ukuphakama kwayo kuyingalo elengxenye.
He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.
11 Basebelihuqa ngegolide elicolekileyo njalo balizingelezela ngomthando wegolide.
And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.
12 Babuya benza ibhanti eliyizingelezileyo, elalingangesandla somuntu ububanzi, basebefaka umthando wegolide phezu kwebhanti.
And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers’ breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
13 Benza amasongo amane egolide bawafaka emagumbini womane enyaweni zetafula.
And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,
14 Amasongo afakwa eduze lebhanti ukuze abambe imijabo eyayisetshenziswa ukuthwala itafula.
Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.
15 Imijabo yokuthwalisa itafula yayenziwe ngezigodo zesihlahla somʼakhakhiya njalo ihuqwe ngegolide.
And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,
16 Njalo benza ngegolide elicolekileyo izitsha zetafula ezibalisa imiganu, izinditshi, imiganu eyingubhe kanye lezitsha zokuthululela iminikelo enathwayo.
And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.

He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:
18 Ingatsha eziyisithupha zaxhunywa emaceleni oluthi lwesibane, ingatsha ezintathu nganxanye kwathi ezintathu kwelinye icele.
Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19 Inkezo ezintathu ezibunjwe okwamaluba e-alimondi, amahlumela lamaluba kwakusogatsheni lunye, ezinye ezintathu ogatsheni olulandelayo, kwabanjalo kuwo wonke ayisithupha exhunywe oluthini lwesibane.
Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.
20 Njalo oluthini lwesibane kwakulembizana ezine ezibunjwe okwamaluba e-alimondi elamahlumela kanye lamaluba.
And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:
21 Ihlumela elilodwa lalingaphansi kwengatsha ezimbili, ihlumela lesibili lingaphansi kwezinye ezimbili lehlumela lesithathu lalingaphansi kwengatsha ezimbili, ingatsha zonke zaziyisithupha.
And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.
22 Amahlumela lezingatsha kwakuyinto yinye loluthi lwesibane, kukhandwe ngegolide elicolekileyo.
