1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi yathi:

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 Bona, ngibizile ngebizo uBhezaleli indodana kaUri indodana kaHuri owesizwe sakoJuda;

Behold, I haue called by name, Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur of the tribe of Iudah,

3 ngimgcwalisile ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, ekuhlakanipheni lekuqedisiseni lelwazini lakuyo yonke imisebenzi yobungcitshi,

Whom I haue filled with the Spirit of God, in wisedome, and in vnderstanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship:

4 ukuthi aqambe imisebenzi yobungcitshi, asebenze ngegolide langesiliva langethusi,

To finde out curious workes to worke in golde, and in siluer, and in brasse,

5 ekubazeni amatshe ukuwafaka, lekubazeni izigodo, ukwenza yonke imisebenzi yobungcitshi.

Also in the arte to set stones, and to carue in timber, and to worke in all maner of workmaship.

6 Mina-ke, khangela, nginike uOholiyaba indodana kaAhisamaki owesizwe sakoDani kanye laye; lenhliziyweni yakhe wonke ohlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo ngifake inhlakanipho, ukuthi benze konke engikulaye khona,

And behold, I haue ioyned with him Aholiab the sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted, haue I put wisdome to make all that I haue commanded thee:

7 ithente lenhlangano, lomtshokotsho wobufakazi, lesihlalo somusa esiphezu kwawo, lempahla yonke yethente,

That is, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Arke of the Testimonie, and the Merciseate that shalbe therevpon, with all instruments of the Tabernacle:

8 letafula lezitsha zalo, loluthi lwesibane olucwengekileyo lezitsha zalo zonke, lelathi lempepha,

Also the Table and the instruments thereof, and the pure Candlesticke with all his instruments, and the Altar of perfume:

9 lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lezitsha zalo zonke, lenditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo,

Likewise the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the Lauer with his foote:

10 lezembatho ezifekethisiweyo, lezembatho ezingcwele zikaAroni umpristi, lezembatho zamadodana akhe, ukusebenza njengabapristi,

Also the garments of the ministration, and ye holy garments for Aaron ye Priest, and the garmets of his sonnes, to minister in the Priestes office,

11 lamafutha okugcoba, lempepha emnandi yendawo engcwele; benze njengakho konke engikulaye khona.

And the anoynting oyle, and sweete perfume for the Sanctuarie: according to all that I haue commanded thee, shall they do.

12 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

Afterwarde the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

13 Wena-ke, tshela abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Isibili lizagcina amasabatha ami; ngoba lokhu kuyisibonakaliso phakathi kwami lani ezizukulwaneni zenu, ukwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi elingcwelisayo.

Speake thou also vnto the children of Israel, and say, Notwithstanding keepe yee my Sabbaths: for it is a signe betweene me and you in your generations, that ye may know that I the Lord do sanctifie you.

14 Ngakho gcinani isabatha, ngoba lingcwele kini; olonayo uzabulawa lokubulawa; ngoba wonke owenza umsebenzi ngalo, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke ebantwini bawo.

Ye shall therefore keepe the Sabbath: for it is holy vnto you: he that defileth it, shall die the death: therefore whosoeuer worketh therin, the same person shalbe euen cut off from among his people.

15 Insuku eziyisithupha kwenziwe umsebenzi, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa kulisabatha lokuphumula, lingcwele eNkosini; wonke owenza umsebenzi ngesabatha uzabulawa lokubulawa.

Sixe dayes shall men worke, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the holy rest to the Lord: whosoeuer doeth any worke in the Sabbath day, shall dye the death.

16 Ngakho abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazagcina isabatha, balilondoloze isabatha ezizukulwaneni zabo, libe yisivumelwano esilaphakade.

Wherfore the children of Israel shall keepe the Sabbath, that they may obserue the rest throughout their generations for an euerlasting couenant.

17 Liyisibonakaliso phakathi kwami labantwana bakoIsrayeli kuze kube nini lanini; ngoba ngensuku eziyisithupha iNkosi yenza amazulu lomhlaba, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa yaphumula, yavuselelwa.

It is a signe betweene me and the children of Israel for euer: for in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, and in the seuenth day he ceased, and rested.

18 Wasemnika uMozisi, eseqedile ukukhuluma laye entabeni yeSinayi, izibhebhe ezimbili zobufakazi, izibhebhe zamatshe, zibhalwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu.

Thus (when the Lord had made an ende of communing with Moses vpon mount Sinai) he gaue him two Tables of the Testimonie, euen tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
