Exodus 26
1 “Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. You shall make them with the work of a skillful workman.
Uzakwenza-ke ithabhanekele ngamakhetheni alitshumi elembu elicolekileyo elenziwe ngentambo ephothiweyo lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, ngamakherubhi; uzawenza enziwe ngumuntu oyingcitshi.
2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.
Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa bube zingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezine; wonke amakhetheni alingane.
3 Five curtains shall be coupled together to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.
Amakhetheni amahlanu azahlanganiswa, elinye lelinye; lamakhetheni amahlanu azahlanganiswa, elinye lelinye.
4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling, and you shall do likewise on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second coupling.
Uzakwenza-ke izihitshela ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphethweni welinye ikhetheni, ekucineni kwenhlangano, njalo ngokufananayo wenze emphethweni wekhetheni ekucineni, kunhlangano yesibili.
5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one another.
Wenze izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu kwelinye ikhetheni, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu uzazenza emphethweni wekhetheni elikunhlangano yeyesibili; izihitshela zikhangelane.
6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains to one another with the clasps. The tabernacle shall be a unit.
Njalo wenze ingwegwe zegolide ezingamatshumi amahlanu, uhlanganise amakhetheni elinye lelinye ngengwegwe, ukuze kube lethabhanekele elilodwa.
7 “You shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.
Wenze futhi amakhetheni ngoboya bembuzi abe lithente phezu kwethabhanekele; uzalenza ngamakhetheni alitshumi lanye.
8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.
Ubude bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu, lobubanzi bekhetheni elilodwa zingalo ezine; amakhetheni alitshumi lanye alingane.
9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.
Njalo uzahlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu abe wodwa, lamakhetheni ayisithupha abe wodwa; lekhetheni lesithupha uzalipheqa phambi kwethente ngaphambili.
10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outermost in the second coupling.
Wenze-ke izihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni, ekucineni kwenhlangano, lezihitshela ezingamatshumi amahlanu emphethweni wekhetheni elihlanganisa elesibili.
11 You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
Wenze futhi ingwegwe zethusi ezingamatshumi amahlanu, uzifake ingwegwe ezihitsheleni, uhlanganise ithente libe linye.
12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent—the half curtain that remains—shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
Njalo okuseleyo okwedluleleyo kwamakhetheni ethente, ingxenye yekhetheni eseleyo, izalengela ehlangothini olungemuva kwethabhanekele.
13 The cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
Njalo ingalo ngapha lengalo langapha kulokho okuseleyo ebudeni bamakhetheni ethente, izalengela emaceleni ethabhanekele ngapha langapha ukulisibekela.
14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
Uzalenzela ithente isembeso sezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lesembeso sezikhumba zikamantswane phezulu.
15 “You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.
Njalo uzakwenza amapulanka ethabhanekele ngesihlahla sesinga, ame,
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board.
ubude bamapulanka buzakuba zingalo ezilitshumi, lobubanzi bepulanka linye bube yingalo lengxenye yengalo.
17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Ipulanka elilodwa lizakuba lemisuka emibili, ihlanganisiwe omunye komunye; wenze njalo kuwo wonke amapulanka ethabhanekeleni.
18 You shall make twenty boards for the tabernacle, for the south side southward.
Uzalenzela-ke ithabhanekele amapulanka, amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lweningizimu olukhangele eningizimu;
19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
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, on the north side, twenty boards,
njalo amapulanka angamatshumi amabili ehlangothini lwesibili lwethabhanekele, uhlangothi lwenyakatho,
21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
lezisekelo zawo ezingamatshumi amane zesiliva, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka linye lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
22 For the far side of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.
Njalo wenze amapulanka ayisithupha ehlangothini olungemuva kwethabhanekele ngentshonalanga,
23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far side.
njalo uzakwenza lamapulanka amabili awengonsi zethabhanekele ehlangothini olungemuva,
24 They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
njalo abe mabili ngaphansi, azaphelela langaphezulu ndawonye, esongweni elilodwa; kuzakuba njalo ngawo womabili, abe ngawengonsi zombili.
25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
Njalo azakuba ngamapulanka ayisificaminwembili, lezisekelo zawo zesiliva, izisekelo ezilitshumi lesithupha, izisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwepulanka elinye, lezisekelo ezimbili ngaphansi kwelinye ipulanka.
26 “You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
Uzakwenza njalo imithando ngesihlahla sesinga, emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele,
27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far side westward.
lemithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka akolunye uhlangothi lwethabhanekele, lemithando emihlanu ibe ngeyamapulanka ehlangothini lwethabhanekele, ehlangothini olusemuva ngentshonalanga;
28 The middle bar in the middle of the boards shall pass through from end to end.
lomthando waphakathi, phakathi kwamapulanka, uzadabula kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars. You shall overlay the bars with gold.
Njalo uzawahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, uwenze amasongo awo ngegolide, abe zindawo zemithando; uyihuqe imithando ngegolide.
30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.
Uzalimisa-ke ithabhanekele njengomfanekiso walo owawutshengiswa entabeni.
31 “You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. It shall be the work of a skillful workman.
Uzakwenza leveyili ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo elentambo ephothiweyo, kube ngumsebenzi wengcitshi, lamakherubhi;
32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.
uzalilengisa-ke ensikeni ezine zesinga, ezihuqwe ngegolide, lengwegwe zalo zegolide, phezu kwezisekelo ezine zesiliva.
33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the covenant in there within the veil. The veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.
Njalo uzalilengisa iveyili phansi kwezingwegwe, ukuze ungenise lapho, ngaphakathi kweveyili, umtshokotsho wobufakazi; leliveyili lizalehlukanisela phakathi kwengcwele lengcwele yezingcwele.
34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant in the most holy place.
Uzabeka-ke isihlalo somusa phezu komtshokotsho wobufakazi engcweleni yezingcwele,
35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lamp stand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. You shall put the table on the north side.
njalo ubeke itafula ngaphandle kweveyili, loluthi lwesibane maqondana letafula ehlangothini lwethabhanekele ngaseningizimu, ubeke itafula ehlangothini lwenyakatho.
36 “You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.
Uzakwenza isilenge somnyango wethente ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo elilentambo ephothiweyo, umsebenzi womfekethisi ngenalithi.
37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold. You shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
Usenzele-ke isilenge insika ezinhlanu zesinga, uzihuqe ngegolide; ingwegwe zazo zibe ngezegolide, uzibumbele ngokuncibilikisa izisekelo ezinhlanu zibe ngezethusi.
