Exodus 25
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi bangithathele umnikelo; uzathatha umnikelo wami kuye wonke umuntu, onhliziyo yakhe imenza avume.
3 And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver and brass,
Njalo yilo umnikelo ozawuthatha kubo: Igolide, lesiliva, lethusi,
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair].
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood.
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lesihlahla sesinga,
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
amafutha esibane, amakha amafutha okugcoba, lawempepha ethunqayo elephunga elimnandi,
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breast-plate.
amatshe athiwa ngama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa e-efodini lesembathweni sesifuba.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Njalo kabangenzele indawo engcwele ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo.
9 According to all that I show thee [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its instruments, even so shall ye make [it].
Njengakho konke engizakutshengisa khona, isibonelo sethabhanekele, lesibonelo sempahla yalo yonke, lenze njalo-ke.
10 And they shall make an ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits and a half [shall be] its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its hight.
Njalo bazakwenza umtshokotsho ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude bawo bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, lobubanzi bawo yingalo lengxenye, lokuphakama kwawo yingalo lengxenye.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold around it.
Uwuhuqe-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, uwuhuqe ngaphakathi langaphandle, wenze phezu kwawo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put [them] in its four corners; and two rings [shall be] in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
Uwubumbele ngokuncibilikisa futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake emagumbini omane awo, ukuze amasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo, lamasongo amabili abe kolunye uhlangothi lwawo.
13 And thou shalt make staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Njalo uzakwenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide,
14 And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
uyifake imijabo emasongweni enhlangothini zomtshokotsho, ukuthwala umtshokotsho ngayo.
15 The staffs shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
Imijabo izakuba semasongweni omtshokotsho, ayiyikukhutshwa kuwo.
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
Ubusufaka emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.
17 And thou shalt make a mercy-seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a half [shall be] its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
Njalo uzakwenza isihlalo somusa ngegolide elicwengekileyo, ubude baso bube zingalo ezimbili lengxenye, ububanzi baso yingalo lengxenye.
18 And thou shalt make two cherubim [of] gold, [of] beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy-seat.
Ubususenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, uzawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avele emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa.
19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: [even] of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends.
Wenze elinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livele ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi, uzakwenza amakherubhi evela esihlalweni somusa emaphethelweni womabili aso.
20 And the cherubim shall stretch forth [their] wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces [shall look] one to another; towards the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
Lamakherubhi azakwelula impiko zawo ngaphezulu, ambomboze isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo bukhangelane; ubuso bamakherubhi buzakhangela isihlalo somusa.
21 And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
Njalo uzasibeka isihlalo somusa ngaphezulu, phezu komtshokotsho, ufake emtshokotshweni ubufakazi engizakunika bona.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which [are] upon the ark of the testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in commandment to 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 Thou shalt also make a table [of] shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its hight a cubit and a half.
Uzakwenza futhi itafula ngesihlahla sesinga; ubude balo bube zingalo ezimbili, lobubanzi balo yingalo, lokuphakama kwalo yingalo lengxenye.
24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make to it a crown of gold around it.
Uzalihuqa-ke ngegolide elicwengekileyo, wenze kulo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
25 And thou shalt make to it a border of an hand-breadth around it, and thou shalt make a golden crown to its border around it.
Uzakwenza kulo inhlangothi zonke ibhanti elingangobubanzi besandla, ulenzele ibhanti lalo umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.
26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that [are] on its four feet.
Ulenzele futhi amasongo amane egolide, uwafake amasongo emagunjini amane asenyaweni zalo zozine.
27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staffs to bear the table.
Amasongo azakuba ngasebhantini ukuze abe zindawo zemijabo, ukuthwala itafula.
28 And thou shalt make the staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
Njalo uzakwenza imijabo ngesihlahla sesinga, uyihuqe ngegolide, ukuze itafula lithwalwe ngayo;
29 And thou shalt make its dishes, and its spoons, and its covers, and its bowls, to cover it with: [of] pure gold shalt thou make them.
wenze futhi imiganu yalo lenkezo zalo lezitsha zalo lenditshi zalo abathela ngazo, uzenze ngegolide elicwengekileyo.
30 And thou shalt set upon the table show-bread before me always.
Uzabeka-ke etafuleni izinkwa zokubukiswa phambi kwami njalonjalo.
31 And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made: its shaft, and its branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of the same.
Uzakwenza njalo uluthi lwesibane ngegolide elicwengekileyo; uluthi lwesibane luzakwenziwa ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, isidindi salo, lezinti zalo, imbizana zalo, induku zalo, lamaluba alo, kuvele kulo.
32 And six branches shall extend from the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick from the one side, and three branches of the candlestick from the other side:
Njalo izinti eziyisithupha zizaphuma enhlangothini zalo; izinti ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi, lezinti ezintathu zoluthi lwesibane kolunye uhlangothi.
33 Three bowls made like to almonds, [with] a knob and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, [with] a knob and a flower: so in the six branches that project from the candlestick.
Imbizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi kolunye uluthi, isiduku leluba; lembizana ezintathu ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi kolunye uluthi, isiduku leluba; kube njalo ezintini eziyisithupha eziphuma oluthini lwesibane.
34 And in the candlesticks [shall be] four bowls made like to almonds, [with] their knobs and their flowers.
Oluthini lwesibane kube khona imbizana ezine ezenziwe zafanana lamaluba esihlahla se-alimondi, iziduku zalo lamaluba alo;
35 And [there shall be] a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that project from the candlestick.
kube lesiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, lesiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, futhi isiduku ngaphansi kwezinti ezimbili ezivela kulo, njengezinti eziyisithupha eziphuma oluthini lwesibane.
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of the same: all of it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold.
Iziduku zazo lezinti zazo zizavela kulo, lonke lube ngumsebenzi munye okhandiweyo wegolide elicwengekileyo.
37 And thou shalt make its seven lamps: and they shall light its lamps, that they may give light over against it.
Uzakwenza futhi izibane zalo eziyisikhombisa, njalo bazalumathisa izibane zalo, bazazenza zikhanyise ehlangothini oluphambi kwalo.
38 And its tongs, and its snuff-dishes, [shall be of] pure gold.
Njalo indlawu zalo lemiganu yalo yomlotha kuzakuba ligolide elicwengekileyo.
39 [Of] a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
Kalwenziwe ngethalenta legolide elicwengekileyo, kanye lazo zonke lezizinto.
40 And look that thou make [them] after their pattern, which was shown thee on the mount.
Nanzelela-ke ukuthi uzenze njengomfanekiso wazo, owatshengiswa wona entabeni.
