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.
Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.
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 skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
3 basebesemukela kuMozisi wonke umnikelo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababewulethele umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu engcwele ukuwenza ngawo. Bona-ke babesaletha kuye iminikelo yesihle ukusa ngokusa.
He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.
4 Bonke abahlakaniphileyo ababesenza wonke umsebenzi wendlu engcwele basebesiza, ngulowo lalowo evela emsebenzini wakhe, abawenzayo.
Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
5 Basebekhuluma kuMozisi besithi: Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu okwedlula okwanele ukusetshenzwa komsebenzi iNkosi elaye ukuthi wenziwe.
Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
6 UMozisi waselaya ukuthi bedlulise ilizwi enkambeni lisithi: Kakungabi lendoda kumbe umfazi owenza futhi umsebenzi ngomnikelo wendlu engcwele. Ngalokhu abantu banqatshelwa ukuthi balethe;
Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7 ngoba okokusetshenziswa kwakwanele kubo, ukuwenza umsebenzi wonke, kwaze kwasala.
Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.
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 the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:
9 Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa babuzingalo ezine; wonke amakhetheni ayelesilinganiso sinye.
The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.
10 Wasehlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu elinye lelinye, wahlanganisa amanye amakhetheni amahlanu elinye lelinye.
And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
11 Wenza izihitshela ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni wekhetheni elinye, ekucineni ekuhlanganeni; wenze njalo emphethweni wekhetheni elisekucineni, ekuhlanganeni kwelesibili.
He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,
12 Wenza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu kwelinye ikhetheni, wenza lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni, elisekuhlanganeni kwelesibili; izihitshela zazikhangelene, esinye lesinye.
That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.
13 Wenza ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, wahlanganisa amakhetheni, elinye lelinye ngengwegwe; ngalokhu kwaba lithabhanekele linye.
Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
14 Wenza amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi abe lithente phezu kwethabhanekele; wawenza amakhetheni alitshumi lanye.
He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, 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 curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
16 Wahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu wodwa, lamakhetheni ayisithupha wodwa.
Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
17 Wenza izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni elisekucineni ekuhlanganeni, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu wazenza emphethweni wekhetheni elihlanganisa elesibili.
And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
18 Wenza ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu, ukuhlanganisa ithente, ukuze libe linye.
And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
19 Wenza isifulelo sethente ngezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama, lesifulelo ngezikhumba zikamantswane phezulu.
He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.
20 Wenza amapulanka ethabhanekele ngesihlahla sesinga, amiyo;
He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
21 ubude bepulanka babuzingalo ezilitshumi, lobubanzi bepulanka ngalinye babuyingalo lengxenye.
The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
22 Ipulanka elilodwa lalilemisuka emibili, ihlangana omunye komunye; wenze njalo kuwo wonke amapulanka ethabhanekele.
There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 Wenza amapulanka ethabhanekele, amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lweningizimu ngaseningizimu;
Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
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 sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.
25 wenza amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lwesibili lwethabhanekele, ehlangothini lwenyakatho,
At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.
26 lezisekelo zawo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
27 Wenza amapulanka ayisithupha ehlangothini lwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga,
But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
28 lamapulanka amabili wawenzela izingonsi zethabhanekele ngasemuva;
And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
29 ayengamaphahla ngaphansi ehlangene, ephelele phezulu, ngesongo linye; wenze njalo kuwo womabili, ezingonsini zombili.
Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
30 Njalo kwakulamapulanka ayisificaminwembili lezisekelo zawo zesiliva, izisekelo ezilitshumi lesithupha, izisekelo ezimbili, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye.
So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
31 Wenza imithando ngesihlahla sesinga, emihlanu eyamapulanka ehlangothini olunye lwethabhanekele,
He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
32 lemithando emihlanu eyamapulanka kolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele, lemithando emihlanu eyamapulanka ethabhanekele, ehlangothini olungemuva ngasentshonalanga.
And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.
33 Wenza umthando waphakathi udabule phakathi kwamapulanka, kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
34 Wahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, wenza amasongo awo ngegolide, azindawo zemithando, wayihuqa imithando ngegolide.
And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.
35 Wenza iveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende langokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, walenza laba ngumsebenzi wengcitshi lamakherubhi.
He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
36 Walenzela insika ezine ngesinga, wazihuqa ngegolide; ingwegwe zazo zazingezegolide; wazibumbela ngokuncibilikisa izisekelo ezine zesiliva.
And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.
37 Wenza isilenge somnyango wethente ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lentambo ephothiweyo, umsebenzi womfekethisi ngenalithi;
He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.
38 lensika zalo ezinhlanu lengwegwe zazo; wazihuqa izihloko zazo lezibopho zazo ngegolide; lezisekelo zazo ezinhlanu zazingezethusi.
And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
