U-Eksodusi 36
1 UBhezaleli loOholiyaba basebesenza, lawo wonke amadoda ahlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo okukuwo iNkosi ifake ukuhlakanipha lokuqedisisa ukwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendawo engcwele, njengakho konke iNkosi eyayikulayile.
Therefore, Bezalel, and Oholiab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and intelligence, so as to know how to work skillfully, made that which was necessary for the uses of the Sanctuary and which the Lord had instructed.
2 UMozisi wasebiza uBhezaleli loOholiyaba layo yonke indoda ehlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo iNkosi efake inhlakanipho enhliziyweni yayo, wonke onhliziyo yakhe eyamvusela ukusondela emsebenzini ukuwenza;
And when Moses had called them and every man of learning, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and who, of their own accord, had offered themselves in order to accomplish this work,
3 basebesemukela kuMozisi wonke umnikelo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababewulethele umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu engcwele ukuwenza ngawo. Bona-ke babesaletha kuye iminikelo yesihle ukusa ngokusa.
he handed over to them all the donations of the sons of Israel. And while they were pursuing this work, the people offered what they had vowed each day, in the morning.
4 Bonke abahlakaniphileyo ababesenza wonke umsebenzi wendlu engcwele basebesiza, ngulowo lalowo evela emsebenzini wakhe, abawenzayo.
The artisans were compelled by this to go
5 Basebekhuluma kuMozisi besithi: Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu okwedlula okwanele ukusetshenzwa komsebenzi iNkosi elaye ukuthi wenziwe.
to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.”
6 UMozisi waselaya ukuthi bedlulise ilizwi enkambeni lisithi: Kakungabi lendoda kumbe umfazi owenza futhi umsebenzi ngomnikelo wendlu engcwele. Ngalokhu abantu banqatshelwa ukuthi balethe;
Therefore, Moses ordered this to be recited, with a voice of proclamation: “Let neither man nor woman offer anything further for the work of the Sanctuary.” And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7 ngoba okokusetshenziswa kwakwanele kubo, ukuwenza umsebenzi wonke, kwaze kwasala.
because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.
8 Labo bonke abahlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo phakathi kwalabo ababesenza umsebenzi wethabhanekele benza amakhetheni alitshumi; ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, ngamakherubhi wawenza, umsebenzi wengcitshi.
And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.
9 Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezine; wonke amakhetheni ayelesilinganiso sinye.
Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.
10 Wasehlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu elinye lelinye, wahlanganisa amanye amakhetheni amahlanu elinye lelinye.
And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.
11 Wenza izihitshela ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni wekhetheni elinye, ekucineni ekuhlanganeni; wenze njalo emphethweni wekhetheni elisekucineni, ekuhlanganeni kwelesibili.
He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,
12 Wenza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu kwelinye ikhetheni, wenza lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni, elisekuhlanganeni kwelesibili; izihitshela zazikhangelene, esinye lesinye.
so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.
13 Wenza ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, wahlanganisa amakhetheni, elinye lelinye ngengwegwe; ngalokhu kwaba lithabhanekele linye.
For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.
14 Wenza amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi abe lithente phezu kwethabhanekele; wawenza amakhetheni alitshumi lanye.
He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
15 Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezine; amakhetheni alitshumi lanye ayeyisilinganiso sinye.
one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.
16 Wahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu wodwa, lamakhetheni ayisithupha wodwa.
Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.
17 Wenza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni elisekucineni ekuhlanganeni, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu wazenza emphethweni wekhetheni elihlanganisa elesibili.
And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,
18 Wenza ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu, ukuhlanganisa ithente, ukuze libe linye.
and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.
19 Wenza isifulelo sethente ngezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama, lesifulelo ngezikhumba zikamantswane phezulu.
He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.
20 Wenza amapulanka ethabhanekele ngesihlahla sesinga, amiyo;
He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.
21 ubude bepulanka babuzingalo ezilitshumi, lobubanzi bepulanka ngalinye babuyingalo lengxenye.
Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.
22 Ipulanka elilodwa lalilemisuka emibili, ihlangana omunye komunye; wenze njalo kuwo wonke amapulanka ethabhanekele.
There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.
23 Wenza amapulanka ethabhanekele, amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lweningizimu ngaseningizimu;
Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,
24 wenza 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;
with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.
25 wenza amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lwesibili lwethabhanekele, ehlangothini lwenyakatho,
Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,
26 lezisekelo zawo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.
27 Wenza amapulanka ayisithupha ehlangothini lwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga,
Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels,
28 lamapulanka amabili wawenzela izingonsi zethabhanekele ngasemuva;
and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,
29 ayengamaphahla ngaphansi ehlangene, ephelele phezulu, ngesongo linye; wenze njalo kuwo womabili, ezingonsini zombili.
which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.
30 Njalo kwakulamapulanka ayisificaminwembili lezisekelo zawo zesiliva, izisekelo ezilitshumi lesithupha, izisekelo ezimbili, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye.
So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.
31 Wenza imithando ngesihlahla sesinga, emihlanu eyamapulanka ehlangothini olunye lwethabhanekele,
He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,
32 lemithando emihlanu eyamapulanka kolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele, lemithando emihlanu eyamapulanka ethabhanekele, ehlangothini olungemuva ngasentshonalanga.
and five others to fit together the panels of the other side, and, in addition to these, five other bars toward the western area of the tabernacle, opposite the sea.
33 Wenza umthando waphakathi udabule phakathi kwamapulanka, kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
He also made another bar, which came through the middle of the panels from corner to corner.
34 Wahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, wenza amasongo awo ngegolide, azindawo zemithando, wayihuqa imithando ngegolide.
But the panels themselves he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them. And he made their rings from gold, through which the bars might be able to be drawn. And he covered the bars themselves with layers of gold.
35 Wenza iveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende langokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, walenza laba ngumsebenzi wengcitshi lamakherubhi.
He also made a veil from hyacinth, and purple, from vermillion as well as fine twisted linen, with varied and distinctive embroidery,
36 Walenzela insika ezine ngesinga, wazihuqa ngegolide; ingwegwe zazo zazingezegolide; wazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa izisekelo ezine zesiliva.
and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them.
37 Wenza isilenge somnyango wethente ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, umsebenzi womfekethisi ngenalithi;
He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery,
38 lensika zalo ezinhlanu lengwegwe zazo; wazihuqa izihloko zazo lezibopho zazo ngegolide; lezisekelo zazo ezinhlanu zazingezethusi.
and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass.
