U-Eksodusi
39 Basebesenza izigqoko zokwenza inkonzo endaweni engcwele ezithungwe kuhle kakhulu besebenzisa uhali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende,*+ lohali olubomvu. Bathunga izigqoko zika-Aroni+ ezingcwele njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.
2 UBhezaleli wenza i-efodi+ ngegolide, lohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu, lelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo. 3 Bakhanda igolide laba yizicecedu, waselisika laba zincingwana waziphotha ndawonye lohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu, lelineni elohlonzi ukuze athunge ngakho i-efodi. 4 Basebeyenzela iziqephu zamalembu emahlombe ezazihlanganiswe phezulu emphethweni yomibili. 5 Kanti njalo ibhanti elelukiweyo* lokubopha i-efodi ukuze ihlale isendaweni yayo+ lalo lalenziwe ngegolide lohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lewulu eyibubende lohali olubomvu lelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.
6 Basebefaka amatshe e-onekisi phakathi kwezibambiso zegolide, babhala kuwo amabizo amadodana ka-Israyeli, ebhalwe njengophawu lwesidindo.+ 7 Wawafaka eziqetshini zelembu ezimbili ezisemahlombe phezu kwe-efodi ukuze abe ngamatshe esikhumbuzo kumadodana ka-Israyeli,+ njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi. 8 Ngemva kwalokho wenza isikhwama sesifubeni+ esebenzisa igolide, lohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu kanye lelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo.+ Sasingumsebenzi owenziwe yingcitshi yokuthunga, sithungwe njenge-efodi. 9 Nxa sigoqiwe, isikhwama lesi sasilingana amacele womane njalo ubude baso lobubanzi baso babulingana lobubanzi besandla.* 10 Bafaka kuso imizila emine yamatshe aligugu. Emzileni wokuqala kwakulerubhi lethophazi le-emeraldi. 11 Emzileni wesibili kulethekhoyisi lesafire lejaspa. 12 Emzileni wesithathu kuleleshemu* le-agathe le-amethisithi. 13 Emzileni wesine kulekhrisolithe le-onekisi lejedi. Amatshe la ayefakwe phakathi kwezibambiso zegolide. 14 Inani lamatshe la lalilingana lamabizo amadodana ka-Israyeli angu-12 njalo amabizo la ayebhalwe njengophawu lwesidindo. Ibizo ngalinye lalimela isizwana ngasinye kwezingu-12.
15 Ngemva kwalokho benza amaketane aphothiweyo bawafaka phezu kwesikhwama sesifubeni njalo ayenjengentambo ezenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo.+ 16 Benza lezibambiso zegolide ezimbili lamaringi egolide amancane amabili, bawafaka emakhoneni amabili esikhwama sesifubeni. 17 Basebefaka amaketane egolide amabili phakathi kwamaringi amancane amabili asemakhoneni esikhwama sesifubeni. 18 Ngemva kwalokho bangenisa ingxenye ezisekucineni zamaketane la phakathi kwezibambiso zegolide ezimbili basebezihlanganisa leziqephu zamalembu e-efodi ezisemahlombe,* ngaphambili. 19 Basebesenza amaringi egolide amancane amabili bawafaka emakhoneni amabili, ngaphansi emphethweni ongaphakathi kwesikhwama sesifubeni, akhangelana le-efodi.+ 20 Benza lamanye amaringi egolide amancane amabili bawafaka ngaphambi kwe-efodi, ngaphansi kweziqephu zamalembu ezisemahlombe, phezu kwalapho okuhlangana khona ibhanti elelukiweyo le-efodi. 21 Basebecina ngokubophela intambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emaringini amancane esikhwama sesifubeni lawe-efodi ukuze isikhwama sesifubeni sihlale sisendaweni yaso phezu kwe-efodi, ngaphezu kwebhanti elelukiweyo, njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.
22 Ngemva kwalokho wathunga ijazi elingelamikhono eligqokwa ngaphansi kwe-efodi. Lalingumsebenzi owenziwe ngumaluki njalo lonke lalenziwe ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.+ 23 Isikhala sokungenisa ikhanda sejazi elingelamikhono sasiphakathi laphakathi njengesejazi elenziwe ngensimbi. Isikhala leso sasilomphetho osigombolozeleyo ukuze ijazi lingadabuki. 24 Ngaphansi emphethweni walo benza imiceciso enjengamaharinathi ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende kanye lohali olubomvu, konke kuphothwe ndawonye. 25 Kanti njalo benza amabhera amancane ngegolide elicengekileyo basebewafaka phakathi laphakathi kwamaharinathi. Ayegombolozele wonke umphetho wejazi elingelamikhono, efakwe phakathi laphakathi kwamaharinathi. 26 Bafaka ibhera leharinathi kwalandelana, kwaba yibhera leharinathi njalo kwakugombolozele wonke umphetho wejazi elingelamikhono elalingelokwenza inkonzo njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.
27 Basebethungela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe+ izigqoko ngelineni elohlonzi, eyayenziwe ngumaluki, 28 leqhiye+ yelineni elohlonzi, lokokugqoka ekhanda+ okulomceciso okwenziwe ngelineni elohlonzi, lamabhulugwe amafitshane+ enziwe ngelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo 29 kanye lebhanti elenziwe ngelineni elohlonzi ephothiweyo, lohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lewulu eyibubende, lohali olubomvu, kuthungwe kwahlanganiswa njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.
30 Bacina ngokwenza icence elicazimulayo ngegolide elicengekileyo, uphawu lokuzinikela olungcwele,* babhala kulo njengokwenziwa nxa umuntu efaka uphawu lwesidindo, bathi: “Ubungcwele ngobukaJehova.”+ 31 Basebelifaka intambo enziwe ngohali oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuze libotshelwe eqhiyeni njengoba nje uJehova wayetshilo kuMosi.
32 Waphela-ke wonke umsebenzi wethabanikeli, lona itende lokuhlangana njalo abako-Israyeli benza konke uJehova ayekutshele uMosi.+ Benza khona kanye ababekutsheliwe.
33 Ngemva kwalokho baletha ithabanikeli+ kuMosi, itende+ layo yonke impahla yalo, izingwegwe zalo,+ lamapulanka alo,+ lemithando yalo,+ lezinsika zalo kanye lezisekelo zalo,+ 34 lesembeso salo esenziwe ngezikhumba zenqama ezidaywe zaba bomvu,+ lesembeso salo esenziwe ngezikhumba zenyamazana yolwandle kanye lekhetheni lokuvala,+ 35 lebhokisi loBufakazi lezigodo zalo+ kanye lesivalo salo,+ 36 letafula, lazo zonke izitsha zayo,+ lesinkwa sokubukiswa, 37 uluthi lwesibane olwenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo, lezibane zalo+ ezibekwe zalandelana emzileni munye kanye lazo zonke izitsha zalo,+ lamafutha okukhanyisa,+ 38 le-alithare+ legolide, lamafutha okugcoba angcwele,+ lempepha enukelelayo+ kanye lekhetheni+ lokuvala umnyango wetende, 39 le-alithare yekhopha,+ lesefa yalo yekhopha, lezigodo zalo,+ lazo zonke izitsha zalo+ kanye lenditshi lesisekelo sayo,+ 40 lamakhetheni ayefakwe egumeni, lensika zawo lezisekelo zawo,+ lekhetheni+ legedi leguma, lentambo zalo zetende, lezikhonkwane zalo+ kanye lazo zonke izitsha ezisetshenziswa enkonzweni yethabanikeli, lona kanye itende lokuhlangana, 41 lezigqoko ezithungwe kuhle zokwenza inkonzo endaweni engcwele, lezigqoko ezingcwele zika-Aroni umphristi,+ lezigqoko zamadodana akhe ezokwenza umsebenzi wobuphristi.
