“Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Adonai has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Adonai has enjoined.”
2 UMozisi wasebiza uBhezaleli loOholiyaba layo yonke indoda ehlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo iNkosi efake inhlakanipho enhliziyweni yayo, wonke onhliziyo yakhe eyamvusela ukusondela emsebenzini ukuwenza;
Moses [Drawn out] called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Adonai had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:
3 basebesemukela kuMozisi wonke umnikelo, abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababewulethele umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu engcwele ukuwenza ngawo. Bona-ke babesaletha kuye iminikelo yesihle ukusa ngokusa.
and they received from Moses [Drawn out] all the offering which the children of Israel [God prevails] had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him free will offerings every morning.
4 Bonke abahlakaniphileyo ababesenza wonke umsebenzi wendlu engcwele basebesiza, ngulowo lalowo evela emsebenzini wakhe, abawenzayo.
All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.
5 Basebekhuluma kuMozisi besithi: Abantu baletha okunengi kakhulu okwedlula okwanele ukusetshenzwa komsebenzi iNkosi elaye ukuthi wenziwe.
They spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Adonai enjoined to make.”
6 UMozisi waselaya ukuthi bedlulise ilizwi enkambeni lisithi: Kakungabi lendoda kumbe umfazi owenza futhi umsebenzi ngomnikelo wendlu engcwele. Ngalokhu abantu banqatshelwa ukuthi balethe;
Moses [Drawn out] enjoied the words, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.
7 ngoba okokusetshenziswa kwakwanele kubo, ukuwenza umsebenzi wonke, kwaze kwasala.
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and 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.
