Exodus 25
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take first fruits of all, who may be disposed in their heart to give; and you shall take my first fruits.
Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi bangithathele umnikelo; uzathatha umnikelo wami kuye wonke umuntu, onhliziyo yakhe imenza avume.
3 And this is the offering which you shall take of them; gold and silver and brass,
Njalo yilo umnikelo ozawuthatha kubo: Igolide, lesiliva, lethusi,
4 and blue, and purple, and double scarlet, and fine spun linen, and goats' hair,
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
5 and rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins, and incorruptible wood,
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lesihlahla sesinga,
6 and oil for the light, incense for anointing oil, and for the composition of incense,
amafutha esibane, amakha amafutha okugcoba, lawempepha ethunqayo elephunga elimnandi,
7 and sardius stones, and stones for the carved work of the breast-plate, and the full-length robe.
amatshe athiwa ngama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa e-efodini lesembathweni sesifuba.
8 And you shall make me a sanctuary, and I will appear among you.
Njalo kabangenzele indawo engcwele ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo.
9 And you shall make for me according to all things which I show you in the mountain; even the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its furniture: so shall you make it.
Njengakho konke engizakutshengisa khona, isibonelo sethabhanekele, lesibonelo sempahla yalo yonke, lenze njalo-ke.
10 And you shall make the ark of testimony of incorruptible wood; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half, and the height of a cubit and a half.
Njalo bazakwenza umtshokotsho ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude bawo bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi bawo yingalo lengxenye, lokuphakama kwawo yingalo lengxenye.
11 And you shall gild it with pure gold, you shall gild it within and without; and you shall make for it golden wreaths twisted round about.
Uwuhuqe-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, uwuhuqe ngaphakathi langaphandle, wenze phezu kwawo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
12 And you shall cast for it four golden rings, and shall put them on the four sides; two rings on the one side, and two rings on the other side.
Uwubumbele ngokuncibilikisa futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake emagumbini omane awo, ukuze amasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo, lamasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo.

14 And you shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark with them.

15 The staves shall remain fixed in the rings of the ark.
Imijabo izakuba semasongweni omtshokotsho, ayiyikukhutshwa kuwo.
16 And you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.
Ubusufaka emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.
17 And you shall make a propitiatory, a lid of pure gold; the length of two cubits and a half, and the breadth of a cubit and a half.
Njalo uzakwenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ubude baso bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, ububanzi baso yingalo lengxenye.
18 And you shall make two cherubs graven in gold, and you shall put them on both sides of the propitiatory.
Ubususenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, uzawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avele emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa.
19 They shall be made, one cherub on this side, and another cherub on the other side of the propitiatory; and you shall make the two cherubs on the two sides.
Wenze elinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi, uzakwenza amakherubhi evela esihlalweni somusa emaphethelweni womabili aso.
20 The cherubs shall stretch forth their wings above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be toward each other, the faces of the cherubs shall be toward the propitiatory.
Lamakherubhi azakwelula impiko zawo ngaphezulu, ambomboze isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangelane; ubuso bamakherubhi buzakhangela isihlalo somusa.
21 And you shall set the propitiatory on the ark above, and you shall put into the ark the testimonies which I shall give you.
Njalo uzasibeka isihlalo somusa ngaphezulu, phezu komtshokotsho, ufake emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.
22 And I will make myself known to you from thence, and I will speak to you above the propitiatory between the two cherubs, which are upon the ark of testimony, even in all things which I shall charge you concerning the children of Israel.
Ngizahlangana-ke lawe lapho, ngikhulume lawe ngingaphezu kwesihlalo somusa, ngiphakathi kwamakherubhi amabili aphezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi, konke engizakulaya khona kubantwana bakoIsrayeli.
23 And you shall make a golden table of pure gold, in length two cubits, and in breadth a cubit, and in height a cubit and a half.
