Eksodus 31:1-18
31 Waqhubeka uYehova ethetha kuMoses, esithi:
2 “Uyabona, ndibize ngegama uBhetsaleli+ unyana kaUri, unyana kaHure wesizwe sakwaYuda.+
3 Ndomzalisa ngomoya kaThixo, ngobulumko nangokuqonda nangolwazi nangalo lonke uhlobo lobungcibi,+
4 ukuze ayile amacebo, asebenze ngegolide nangesilivere nangobhedu,+
5 axonxe amatye, awaqingqe,+ axonxe nemithi ukuze enze imveliso yalo lonke uhlobo.+
6 Yabona! mna ndityumbe kunye naye uOholiyabhi unyana ka-Ahisamaki wesizwe sakwaDan,+ nasentliziyweni yakhe wonk’ ubani olumkileyo entliziyweni ndibeke ubulumko, ukuze bazenze ngokwenene zonke izinto endikuyalele ngazo:+
7 intente yokuhlangana+ neTyeya+ yesingqino nesigubungelo esiphezu kwayo,+ nempahla yonke yentente,
8 netafile nempahla yayo,+ nesiphatho sezibane segolide esulungekileyo nempahla yaso yonke,+ nesibingelelo sokuqhumisela,+
9 nesibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo nempahla yaso yonke,+ nesitya nesiphatho saso,+
10 nezambatho ezinithiweyo nezambatho ezingcwele zika-Aron umbingeleli nezambatho zoonyana bakhe abakhonza njengababingeleli;+
11 neoli yokuthambisa nesiqhumiso sobulawu sengcwele.+ Baya kwenza njengako konke endikuyalele ngako.”
12 Wathi uYehova ngokubhekele phaya kuMoses:
13 “Thetha ke wena koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi, ‘Gcinani ngokukodwa iisabatha zam,+ kuba ingumqondiso phakathi kwam nani kwizizukulwana zenu ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova oningcwalisayo.+
14 Yaye nimele niyigcine isabatha, kuba ingcwele kuni.+ Lowo uyihlambelayo wobulawa afe.+ Ukuba kukho nabani na owenza umsebenzi ngayo, loo mphefumlo mawunqunyulwe ebantwini bakowawo.+
15 Nosebenza imihla emithandathu, kodwa ngomhla wesixhenxe yisabatha yokuphumla ngokupheleleyo.+ Ingcwele kuYehova. Nabani na owenza umsebenzi ngomhla wesabatha wobulawa afe.
16 Oonyana bakaSirayeli mabayigcine ke isabatha, bayenze isabatha kwizizukulwana zabo. Ingumnqophiso wexesha elingenammiselo.+
17 Phakathi kwam noonyana bakaSirayeli ingumqondiso wexesha elingenammiselo,+ kuba ngemihla emithandathu uYehova wenza amazulu nomhlaba, waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe, wazihlaziya.’”+
18 Akugqiba ukuthetha naye eNtabeni yeSinayi wamnika uMoses amacwecwe amabini eSingqino,+ amacwecwe amatye ebhalwe ngomnwe kaThixo.+
