Exodus 26
1 “You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.
Uzakwenza-ke ithabhanekele ngamakhetheni alitshumi elembu elicolekileyo elenziwe ngentambo ephothiweyo lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, ngamakherubhi; uzawenza enziwe ngumuntu oyingcitshi.
2 Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide —all curtains the same size.
Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa bube zingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezine; wonke amakhetheni alingane.
3 Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.
Amakhetheni amahlanu azahlanganiswa, elinye lelinye; lamakhetheni amahlanu azahlanganiswa, elinye lelinye.
4 Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.
Uzakwenza-ke izihitshela ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni welinye ikhetheni, ekucineni kwenhlangano, njalo ngokufananayo wenze emphethweni wekhetheni ekucineni, kunhlangano yesibili.
5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.
Wenze izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu kwelinye ikhetheni, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu uzazenza emphethweni wekhetheni elikunhlangano yeyesibili; izihitshela zikhangelane.
6 Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.
Njalo wenze ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, uhlanganise amakhetheni elinye lelinye ngengwegwe, ukuze kube lethabhanekele elilodwa.
7 You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.
Wenze futhi amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi abe lithente phezu kwethabhanekele; uzalenza ngamakhetheni alitshumi lanye.
8 Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezine; amakhetheni alitshumi lanye alingane.
9 Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.
Njalo uzahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu abe wodwa, lamakhetheni ayisithupha abe wodwa; lekhetheni lesithupha uzalipheqa phambi kwethente ngaphambili.
10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
Wenze-ke izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni, ekucineni kwenhlangano, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni elihlanganisa elesibili.
11 Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.
Wenze futhi ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu, uzifake ingwegwe ezihitsheleni, uhlanganise ithente libe linye.
12 As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.
Njalo okuseleyo okwedluleleyo kwamakhetheni ethente, ingxenye yekhetheni eseleyo, izalengela ehlangothini olungemuva kwethabhanekele.
13 And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.
Njalo ingalo ngapha lengalo langapha kulokho okuseleyo ebudeni bamakhetheni ethente, izalengela emaceleni ethabhanekele ngapha langapha ukulisibekela.
14 Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
Uzalenzela ithente isembeso sezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane phezulu.
15 You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
Njalo uzakwenza amapulanka ethabhanekele ngesihlahla sesinga, ame,
16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
ubude bamapulanka buzakuba zingalo ezilitshumi, lobubanzi bepulanka linye bube yingalo lengxenye yengalo.
17 Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
Ipulanka elilodwa lizakuba lemisuka emibili, ihlanganisiwe omunye komunye; wenze njalo kuwo wonke amapulanka ethabhanekeleni.
18 Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,
Uzalenzela-ke ithabhanekele amapulanka, amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lweningizimu olukhangele eningizimu;
19 with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.
wenze njalo 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,
20 For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames
njalo amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lwesibili lwethabhanekele, uhlangothi lwenyakatho,
21 and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.
lezisekelo zawo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
22 Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,
Njalo wenze amapulanka ayisithupha ehlangothini olungemuva kwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga,
23 and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,
njalo uzakwenza lamapulanka amabili awengonsi zethabhanekele ehlangothini olungemuva,
24 coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.
njalo abe mabili ngaphansi, azaphelela langaphezulu ndawonye, esongweni elilodwa; kuzakuba njalo ngawo womabili, abe ngawengonsi zombili.
25 So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
Njalo azakuba ngamapulanka ayisificaminwembili, lezisekelo zawo zesiliva, izisekelo ezilitshumi lesithupha, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka elinye, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
26 You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
Uzakwenza njalo imithando ngesihlahla sesinga, emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele,
27 five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
lemithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele, lemithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka ehlangothini lwethabhanekele, ehlangothini olusemuva ngentshonalanga;
28 The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.
lomthando waphakathi, phakathi kwamapulanka, uzadabula kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
Njalo uzawahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, uwenze amasongo awo ngegolide, abe zindawo zemithando; uyihuqe imithando ngegolide.
30 So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
Uzalimisa-ke ithabhanekele njengomfanekiso walo owawutshengiswa entabeni.
31 Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.
Uzakwenza leveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo elentambo ephothiweyo, kube ngumsebenzi wengcitshi, lamakherubhi;
32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.
uzalilengisa-ke ensikeni ezine zesinga, ezihuqwe ngegolide, lengwegwe zalo zegolide, phezu kwezisekelo ezine zesiliva.
33 And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
Njalo uzalilengisa iveyili phansi kwezingwegwe, ukuze ungenise lapho, ngaphakathi kweveyili, umtshokotsho wobufakazi; leliveyili lizalehlukanisela phakathi kwengcwele lengcwele yezingcwele.
34 Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.
Uzabeka-ke isihlalo somusa phezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi engcweleni yezingcwele,
35 And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.
njalo ubeke itafula ngaphandle kweveyili, loluthi lwesibane maqondana letafula ehlangothini lwethabhanekele ngaseningizimu, ubeke itafula ehlangothini lwenyakatho.
36 For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.
Uzakwenza isilenge somnyango wethente ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo elilentambo ephothiweyo, umsebenzi womfekethisi ngenalithi.
37 Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold hooks, and cast five bronze bases for them.
Usenzele-ke isilenge insika ezinhlanu zesinga, uzihuqe ngegolide; ingwegwe zazo zibe ngezegolide, uzibumbele ngokuncibilikisa izisekelo ezinhlanu zibe ngezethusi.
