U-Eksodusi 38:1-31
38 Wenza i-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngezigodo zesinga. Lalilingana amacele wonke, ubude balo buzingalo* ezinhlanu, lobubanzi balo buzingalo ezinhlanu njalo ukuphakama+ kwalo kwakuzingalo ezintathu.
2 Wasesenza impondo emakhoneni alo amane zaba yintonye lalo, walihuqa ngekhopha.+
3 Ngemva kwalokho wenza zonke izitsha ze-alithare, amakani, lamafotsholo, lemiganu, lamafologwe, kanye lenkezwana zokuthwala amalahle. Zonke izitsha zalo wazenza ngekhopha.
4 Kanti njalo wenzela i-alithare isefa yekhopha ngaphansi komqolo walo, yehla yaze yayafika phakathi laphakathi kwalo.
5 Wenza amaringi amane emakhoneni amane, eduze kwesefa yekhopha ukuze abambe izigodo zokulithwala.
6 Ngemva kwalokho wabaza izigodo zesinga wazihuqa ngekhopha.
7 Wasehloma izigodo lezo phakathi kwamaringi asemaceleni e-alithare ukuze lithwalwe ngazo. Wenza i-alithare laba njengebhokisi lamapulanka elikhamisileyo.
8 Wasesenza inditshi yekhopha+ kanye lesisekelo sayo. Wakwenza esebenzisa izibuko* zabesifazana ababehlelelwe ukuthi basebenze emnyango wetende lokuhlangana.
9 Ngemva kwalokho walungisa iguma.+ Eceleni leguma eliseningizimu wafaka amakhetheni enziwe ngelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo, ubude bawo babuzingalo ezingu-100.+
10 Kwakulensika ezingu-20 kanye lezisekelo zekhopha ezingu-20 njalo amawuka ensika lezo lezibopho zakhona kwakungokwesiliva.
11 Eceleni leguma elisenyakatho kwakufakwe amakhetheni azingalo ezingu-100 ubude. Insika zawo ezingu-20 kanye lezisekelo zawo ezingu-20 kwakungokwekhopha. Amawuka ensika lezo lezibopho zazo kwakungokwesiliva.
12 Kodwa eceleni elisentshonalanga kwakufakwe amakhetheni azingalo ezingu-50. Kwakulensika ezilitshumi lezisekelo ezilitshumi njalo amawuka ensika lezo lezibopho zazo kwakungokwesiliva.
13 Ububanzi becele elikhangele empumalanga babuzingalo ezingu-50.
14 Kwelinye icele legedi leguma kwakufakwe amakhetheni azingalo ezingu-15 ubude njalo ayelensika ezintathu kanye lezisekelo ezintathu.
15 Ikanti lakwelinye icele legedi kwakufakwe amakhetheni azingalo ezingu-15 ubude njalo ayelensika ezintathu kanye lezisekelo ezintathu.
16 Wonke amakhetheni ayegombolozele iguma ayengawelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo.
17 Izisekelo ezazibambe insika zazenziwe ngekhopha, amawuka ensika lezi kanye lezibopho zazo kwakungokwesiliva. Izihloko zazo zazihuqwe ngesiliva njalo kwakulezihlanganiso zesiliva kuzo zonke insika zeguma.+
18 Ikhetheni elalisegedini leguma lalenziwe ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende,* lohali olubomvu kanye lelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo. Lalizingalo ezingu-20 ubude lezingalo ezinhlanu ukuphakama, lilingana lamakhetheni ayegombolozele iguma.+
19 Insika zalo ezine lezisekelo zazo ezine kwakwenziwe ngekhopha. Amawuka azo lezibopho zazo kwakwenziwe ngesiliva njalo izihloko zazo zazihuqwe ngesiliva.
20 Zonke izikhonkwane zethabanikeli kanye lalezo ezazifakwe egumeni zazenziwe ngekhopha.+
21 Nansi-ke impahla eyasetshenziswa ukwakha ithabanikeli, okutsho ithabanikeli loBufakazi.+ UMosi watshela amaLevi+ ukuthi abale inani lempahla leyo njalo lokhu akwenza ekhokhelwa ngu-Ithamari+ indodana ka-Aroni umphristi.
22 UBhezaleli+ indodana ka-Uri, indodana kaHuri, owesizwana sakoJuda wakwenza konke uMosi ayekutshelwe nguJehova.
23 Wayencediswa ngu-Oholiyabhi+ indodana ka-Ahisamakhi owesizwana sakoDani. Indoda le yayiyingcitshi yomsebenzi wezandla njalo isenelisa ukuthunga lokweluka isebenzisa uhali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu kanye lelineni elohlonzi.
24 Lonke igolide elasetshenziswa kuwo wonke umsebenzi wendawo engcwele lalilingana legolide lomnikelo wokuzunguzwa.+ Lalingamathalenta* angu-29 lamashekheli* angu-730 nxa kulinganiswa ngeshekheli yendawo engcwele.*
25 Isiliva esalethwa ngamadoda ayebhalisile sasingamathalenta angu-100 lamashekheli angu-1 775 nxa kulinganiswa ngeshekheli yendawo engcwele.*
26 Umuntu ngamunye owayebhalisile kusukela kwabaleminyaka engu-20 kusiya phezulu+ waletha ingxenye yeshekheli nxa kulinganiswa ngeshekheli yendawo engcwele.* Sebebonke babengu-603 550.+
27 Kwasetshenziswa amathalenta esiliva angu-100 ukulungisa izisekelo zendawo engcwele lezisekelo zamakhetheni. Izisekelo ezingu-100 zalungiswa ngamathalenta angu-100, kwasetshenziswa ithalenta elilodwa ukulungisa isisekelo ngasinye.+
28 Kanti njalo wasebenzisa amashekheli esiliva angu-1 775 ukwenza amawuka ensika, wasehuqa lezihloko zazo njalo wakuhlanganisa ndawonye.
29 Ikhopha eyanikelwayo* yayingamathalenta angu-70 kanye lamashekheli angu-2 400.
30 Yiyo ayisebenzisa ukwenza izisekelo zomnyango wetende lokuhlangana, le-alithare lekhopha, lesefa yalo, lazo zonke izitsha ze-alithare,
31 lezisekelo ezazigombolozele iguma, lezisekelo ezisegedini leguma, lezikhonkwane zonke zethabanikeli, lazo zonke izikhonkwane+ ezazifakwe egumeni.
