U-Eksodusi 37
1 UBhezaleli wasewenza umtshokotsho ngesihlahla sesinga, ubude bawo babuzingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi bawo babuyingalo lengxenye, lokuphakama kwawo kwakuyingalo lengxenye.
And Beseleel made also the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.
2 Wawuhuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo ngaphakathi langaphandle, wawenzela umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
3 Wawubumbela ngokuncibilikisa futhi amasongo amane egolide enyaweni zawo zozine, kuze kuthi amasongo amabili ayekolunye uhlangothi lamasongo amabili kolunye uhlangothi.
Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4 Wenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, wayihuqa ngegolide.
And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
5 Wayifaka imijabo emasongweni enhlangothini zomtshokotsho ukuthwala umtshokotsho.
And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.
6 Wenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ubude baso babuzingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi baso babuyingalo lengxenye.
He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.
7 Wenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, wawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avela emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa,
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:
8 elinye ikherubhi livela ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livela ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi; wawenza amakherubhi amabili evela esihlalweni somusa evela emaphethelweni womabili aso.
One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
9 Amakherubhi elula impiko ezimbili ngaphezulu, embomboza isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo babukhangelene; ubuso bamakherubhi babukhangele isihlalo somusa.
Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.
10 Njalo wenza itafula ngesihlahla sesinga, ubude balo babuzingalo ezimbili, lobubanzi balo babuyingalo, lokuphakama kwalo kwakuyingalo lengxenye.
He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.
11 Walihuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, walenzela umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.
12 Walenzela ibhanti elilingana lobubanzi besandla inhlangothi zonke, wenzela ibhanti lalo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers’ breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
13 Walibumbela ngokuncibilikisa amasongo amane egolide, wawafaka amasongo ezingonsini ezine ezazisenyaweni zozine zalo.
And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,
14 Eduze lebhanti kwakulamasongo, indawo zemijabo yokuthwala itafula.
Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.
15 Wenza lemijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, wayihuqa ngegolide, ukuthwala itafula.
And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,
16 Wazenza izitsha ezaziphezu kwetafula, imiganu yalo lenkezo zalo lenditshi zalo lezitsha zokuthulula, ngegolide elicwengekileyo.
And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.
17 Wenza uluthi lwesibane ngegolide elicwengekileyo; ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo walwenza uluthi lwesibane, isisekelo salo, lesiqu salo, imbizana zalo, iziduku zalo, lamaluba alo, kwakuvela kulo.
He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:
18 Lengatsha eziyisithupha ziphuma enhlangothini zalo, ingatsha ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi lwalo lengatsha ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi lwalo.
Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19 Egatsheni olunye kwakulembizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba e-alimondi, isiduku leluba; lembizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba e-alimondi kolunye ugatsha, isiduku leluba; kwakunjalo ngengatsha eziyisithupha eziphuma eluthini lwesibane.
Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.
20 Njalo kwakukhona eluthini lwesibane imbizana ezine ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba e-alimondi, iziduku zalo lamaluba alo;
And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:
21 kwakukhona-ke isiduku ngaphansi kwengatsha ezimbili ezivela kulo, lesiduku ngaphansi kwengatsha ezimbili ezivela kulo, lesiduku ngaphansi kwengatsha ezimbili ezivela kulo, kuzo ingatsha eziyisithupha eziphuma kulo.
And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.
22 Iziduku zazo lezingatsha zazo zazivela kulo; konke okwalo kwakungumsebenzi munye okhandiweyo wegolide elicwengekileyo.
So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.
23 Wasesenza izibane zalo eziyisikhombisa, lezindlawu zalo, lemiganu yalo yomlotha, ngegolide elicwengekileyo.
He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.
24 Walenza ngethalenta legolide elicwengekileyo, lazo zonke izitsha zalo.
The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.
25 Njalo wenza ilathi lempepha ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude balo babuyingalo lobubanzi balo babuyingalo, lilingana inhlangothi zozine; lokuphakama kwalo kwakuzingalo ezimbili; impondo zalo zazivela kulo.
He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.
26 Walihuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ingaphezulu lemiduli yalo inhlangothi zonke lempondo zalo; walenzela-ke umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.
27 Waselenzela amasongo amabili egolide, ngaphansi komqolo walo, ezingonsini ezimbili zalo, enhlangothini ezimbili zalo, ukuba yindawo yemijabo yokulithwala.
And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.
28 Wayenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, wayihuqa ngegolide.
And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.
29 Wenza amafutha angcwele okugcoba, lempepha ecwengekileyo yamakha alephunga elimnandi, njengokwenza komenzi wamakha.
He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
