“Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. You shall make them with the work of a skilful workman.
2 Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa bube zingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezine; wonke amakhetheni alingane.
The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.
3 Amakhetheni amahlanu azahlanganiswa, elinye lelinye; lamakhetheni amahlanu azahlanganiswa, elinye lelinye.
Five curtains shall be coupled together to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.
4 Uzakwenza-ke izihitshela ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni welinye ikhetheni, ekucineni kwenhlangano, njalo ngokufananayo wenze emphethweni wekhetheni ekucineni, kunhlangano yesibili.

“You shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.
8 Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezine; amakhetheni alitshumi lanye alingane.
The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.
9 Njalo uzahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu abe wodwa, lamakhetheni ayisithupha abe wodwa; lekhetheni lesithupha uzalipheqa phambi kwethente ngaphambili.
You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.
10 Wenze-ke izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni, ekucineni kwenhlangano, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni elihlanganisa elesibili.

You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12 Njalo okuseleyo okwedluleleyo kwamakhetheni ethente, ingxenye yekhetheni eseleyo, izalengela ehlangothini olungemuva kwethabhanekele.
The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent—the half curtain that remains—shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
13 Njalo ingalo ngapha lengalo langapha kulokho okuseleyo ebudeni bamakhetheni ethente, izalengela emaceleni ethabhanekele ngapha langapha ukulisibekela.
The cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14 Uzalenzela ithente isembeso sezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane phezulu.
You shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
15 Njalo uzakwenza amapulanka ethabhanekele ngesihlahla sesinga, ame,
“You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.
16 ubude bamapulanka buzakuba zingalo ezilitshumi, lobubanzi bepulanka linye bube yingalo lengxenye yengalo.
Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board.
17 Ipulanka elilodwa lizakuba lemisuka emibili, ihlanganisiwe omunye komunye; wenze njalo kuwo wonke amapulanka ethabhanekeleni.
There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18 Uzalenzela-ke ithabhanekele amapulanka, amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lweningizimu olukhangele eningizimu;
You shall make twenty boards for the tabernacle, for the south side southward.
19 wenze njalo izisekelo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva ngaphansi kwamapulanka angamatshumi amabili, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye zibe ngezemisuka yalo yomibili, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka zibe ngezemisuka yalo yomibili,
You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
20 njalo amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lwesibili lwethabhanekele, uhlangothi lwenyakatho,
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,
21 lezisekelo zawo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22 Njalo wenze amapulanka ayisithupha ehlangothini olungemuva kwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga,
For the far side of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.
23 njalo uzakwenza lamapulanka amabili awengonsi zethabhanekele ehlangothini olungemuva,
You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far side.
24 njalo abe mabili ngaphansi, azaphelela langaphezulu ndawonye, esongweni elilodwa; kuzakuba njalo ngawo womabili, abe ngawengonsi zombili.
They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25 Njalo azakuba ngamapulanka ayisificaminwembili, lezisekelo zawo zesiliva, izisekelo ezilitshumi lesithupha, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka elinye, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26 Uzakwenza njalo imithando ngesihlahla sesinga, emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele,
“You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
27 lemithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele, lemithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka ehlangothini lwethabhanekele, ehlangothini olusemuva ngentshonalanga;
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far side westward.
28 lomthando waphakathi, phakathi kwamapulanka, uzadabula kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
The middle bar in the middle of the boards shall pass through from end to end.
29 Njalo uzawahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, uwenze amasongo awo ngegolide, abe zindawo zemithando; uyihuqe imithando ngegolide.
You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars. You shall overlay the bars with gold.
30 Uzalimisa-ke ithabhanekele njengomfanekiso walo owawutshengiswa entabeni.

“You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. It shall be the work of a skilful workman.
32 uzalilengisa-ke ensikeni ezine zesinga, ezihuqwe ngegolide, lengwegwe zalo zegolide, phezu kwezisekelo ezine zesiliva.
You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.
33 Njalo uzalilengisa iveyili phansi kwezingwegwe, ukuze ungenise lapho, ngaphakathi kweveyili, umtshokotsho wobufakazi; leliveyili lizalehlukanisela phakathi kwengcwele lengcwele yezingcwele.
You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the covenant in there within the veil. The veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.
