Exodus 35
1 Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, “These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that you should do them.
UMozisi wasebuthanisa inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: La ngamazwi iNkosi ewalayileyo ukuthi liwenze.
2 ‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death.
Insuku eziyisithupha kuzakwenziwa umsebenzi, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuzakuba yibungcwele kini, isabatha lokuphumula eNkosini; loba ngubani owenza umsebenzi ngalo uzabulawa.
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.’”
Lingabasi umlilo ngosuku lwesabatha kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
UMozisi wasekhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Yile into iNkosi eyilayileyo isithi:
5 ‘Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as the LORD’s offering: gold, silver, bronze,
Thathani phakathi kwenu umnikelo ube ngoweNkosi; loba ngubani olenhliziyo evumayo kawulethe, umnikelo weNkosi, igolide lesiliva lethusi,
6 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair,
lokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, loboya bembuzi,
7 rams’ skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,
lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zezinqama, lezikhumba zikamantswane, lezihlahla zesinga,
8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
lamafutha ezibane, lamakha amafutha okugcoba lempepha elephunga elimnandi,
9 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
lamatshe ama-onikse, lamatshe okubekwa awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba.
10 “‘Let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded:
Labo bonke abalenhliziyo ehlakaniphileyo phakathi kwenu kabeze benze konke iNkosi ekulayileyo;
11 the tabernacle, its outer covering, its roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
ithabhanekele, ithente lalo, lesifulelo salo, ingwegwe zalo, lamapulanka alo, imithando yalo, insika zalo, lezisekelo zalo;
12 the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat, the veil of the screen;
umtshokotsho, lemijabo yawo, isihlalo somusa, leveyili lesembeso;
13 the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread;
itafula, lemijabo yalo, lezitsha zalo zonke, lezinkwa zokubukiswa;
14 the lamp stand also for the light, with its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the light;
loluthi lwesibane sesikhanyiso, lezitsha zalo, lezibane zalo, lamafutha esikhanyiso;
15 and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
lelathi lempepha, lemijabo yalo, lamafutha okugcoba, lempepha elephunga elimnandi, lesilenge somnyango emnyango wethabhanekele;
16 the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base;
ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lesihlengo sethusi elilaso, imijabo yalo, lazo zonke izitsha zalo, inditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo;
17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;
amakhetheni eguma, insika zalo, lezisekelo zazo, lesilenge sesango leguma;
18 the pins of the tabernacle, the pins of the court, and their cords;
izikhonkwane zethabhanekele, lezikhonkwane zeguma, lentambo zazo;
19 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons—to minister in the priest’s office.’”
izembatho ezifekethisiweyo zokukhonza endaweni engcwele, izembatho ezingcwele zikaAroni umpristi, lezembatho zamadodana akhe, ukusebenza njengabapristi.
20 All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yaphuma phambi kukaMozisi.
21 They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought the LORD’s offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments.
Beza-ke, wonke onhliziyo yakhe eyamvusayo, laye wonke omoya wakhe owamenza wavuma, baletha umnikelo eNkosini emsebenzini wethente lenhlangano lowenkonzo yonke yalo lowezembatho ezingcwele.
22 They came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, earrings, signet rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to the LORD.
Beza-ke abesilisa kanye labesifazana, bonke abavumayo ngenhliziyo, baletha iziceco lamacici lendandatho lamasongo, zonke izinto zegolide; laye wonke owazunguza umnikelo wokuzunguzwa wegolide eNkosini.
23 Everyone with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats’ hair, rams’ skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.
Laye wonke okwatholakala kuye okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende lokubomvu lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu loboya bembuzi lezikhumba eziphendulwe zababomvu zenqama lezikhumba zikamantswane bakuletha.
24 Everyone who offered an offering of silver and bronze brought the LORD’s offering; and everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Wonke owanikela umnikelo wokuzunguzwa wesiliva lowethusi bakuletha kungumnikelo wokuzunguzwa weNkosi; laye wonke okwatholakala kuye izihlahla zesinga ezawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo baziletha.
25 All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun: the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Labo bonke abesifazana ababehlakaniphile ngenhliziyo baphotha ngezandla zabo, baletha okuphothiweyo, okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokuyibubende, okubomvu, lelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu.
26 All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.
Labo bonke abesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabavusa enhlakanipheni baphotha uboya bembuzi.
27 The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate;
Lezinduna zaletha amatshe ama-onikse lamatshe okubekwa, awe-efodi lawesembatho sesifuba,
28 with the spice and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
lamakha lamafutha awesibane, lawamafutha okugcoba, lawempepha elephunga elimnandi.
29 The children of Israel brought a free will offering to the LORD; every man and woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by Moses.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bawuletha umnikelo wesihle eNkosini. Bonke abesilisa labesifazana abanhliziyo zabo zabenza bavuma ukulethela wonke umsebenzi iNkosi eyayiwulayile ukuthi wenziwe ngesandla sikaMozisi.
30 Moses said to the children of Israel, “Behold, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
UMozisi wasesithi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Bonani, iNkosi imbizile ngebizo uBhezaleli indodana kaUri, indodana kaHuri owesizwe sakoJuda;
31 He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship;
imgcwalisile ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu enhlakanipheni, ekuqedisiseni, lelwazini, lemisebenzini yobungcitshi yonke,
32 and to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,
lokuthi acebe ubungcitshi ukusebenza ngegolide langesiliva langethusi,
33 in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.
lekubazeni amatshe okufakwa, lekubazeni izigodo, ukusebenza emisebenzini yonke yeminwe ngobungcitshi.
34 He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Ifakile laye enhliziyweni yakhe ukufundisa, yena loOholiyaba indodana kaAhisamaki owesizwe sakoDani.
35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.
Ibagcwalisile ngokuhlakanipha kwenhliziyo, ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wombazi, lowengcitshi, lowomfekethisi ngenalithi, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka langokuyibubende, ngokubomvu langelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, lowomeluki; besenza wonke umsebenzi beceba ubungcitshi.
