Chapter 38
1 Wasenza nesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo ngomngampunzi: ubude baso baba ziikubhite ezintlanu, ububanzi baso baba ziikubhite ezintlanu, sambombo-ne; ukuphakama kwaso kwaziikubhite ezintathu.
2 Wenza iimpondo zaso ezimbombeni zaso, zaphuma kuso iimpondo zaso, wasaleka ngobhedu.
3 Wazenza zonke iimpahla zesibingelelo eso: iinkamba, nemihlakulwana, nezitya zokutshiza, neefolokhwe, neengcedevu; zonke iimpahla zaso wazenza ngobhedu.
4 Isibingelelo wasenzela uthango, umsebenzi ongumnatha, ngobhedu, phantsi kongqameko olujikelezileyo, lwathabathela ezantsi, lwathi gabhu phakathi.
5 Wawatyhida amakhonkco amane eziphelweni zozine zothango lobhedu, aba ziindawo zezibonda.
6 Wenza izibonda ngomngampunzi, wazaleka ngobhedu.
7 Wazifaka izibonda emakhonkcweni, emacaleni esibingelelo, ukuba sithwalwe ngazo; wasenza ngeeplanga saholoholo.
8 Wenza uhehema lwesitya sokuhlambela ngobhedu, noseko lwalo ngobhedu, nezipili zabafazi, ababekhonza emnyango wentente yokuhlangana.
9 Wenza intendelezo kwelasezantsi icala, ngasezantsi, yaba ngamawunduwundu entendelezo, elinen ecikizekileyo, ephothiweyo, iikubhite ezilikhulu.
10 Iintsika zawo zaba mashumi mabini, neziseko zazo zaba mashumi mabini, zazezobhedu; amagwegwe eentsika neminqiwu yazo yayeyesilivere.
11 Ngecala lasentla amawunduwundu aziikubhite ezilikhulu; iintsika zawo ezimashumi mabini, neziseko zazo ezimashumi mabini, zazezobhedu; amagwegwe eentsika neminqiwu yazo yayeyesilivere.
12 Ngecala lasentshonalanga amawunduwundu aziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu; iintsika zawo zalishumi, neziseko zazo zalishumi; amagwegwe eentsika neminqiwu yazo yayeyesilivere.
13 Ngecala lempumalanga ngasempumalanga aziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu.
14 Amawunduwundu asingisa kwelinye icala lesango aziikubhite ezilishumi elinantlanu; iintsika zawo zantathu, neziseko zazo zazithathu.
15 Ngelinye icala lesango lentendelezo, ngapha nangapha, aba ngamawunduwundu eekubhite ezilishumi elinantlanu; iintsika zawo zantathu, neziseko zazo zazithathu.
16 Onke amawunduwundu entendelezo ajikelezileyo aba ngawelinen ecikizekileyo, ephothiweyo.
17 Iziseko zeentsika zazezobhedu; amagwegwe eentsika neminqiwu yazo yayeyesilivere, nokwalekwa kwamantloko azo kwayisilivere; iminqiwu yeentsika zonke zentendelezo yayeyesilivere.
18 Isitheliso sesango lentendelezo sasingumsebenzi oyimfakamfele womluki, ngemisonto emsi nemfusa nebomvu, nelinen ecikizekileyo, ephothiweyo; ubude baba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, ukuphakama ebubanzini kwaba ziikubhite ezintlanu; kwalungelelana namawunduwundu entendelezo.
19 Iintsika zawo zone neziseko zazo zozine zaba zezobhedu; amagwegwe azo aba ngawesilivere, nokwalekwa kwamantloko azo neminqiwu yazo kwayisilivere.
20 Zonke izikhonkwane zomnquba nezentendelezo ejikelezileyo zazezobhedu.
21 Ngawo la amanani ezinto zomnquba, zomnquba wesingqino, abebalwa ngomlomo kaMoses ngenkonzo yabaLevi, ngesandla sikaItamare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli.
22 UBhetsaleli, unyana kaUri, unyana kaHuri, wesizwe sakwaYuda, wakwenza konke uYehova abemwisele umthetho ngako uMoses.

24 Ke yonke igolide ekwakusetyenzwa ngayo umsebenzi emisebenzini yonke yengcwele, igolide yomtshangatshangiso, yaye iziitalente ezimashumi mabini anesithoba, neeshekele ezimakhulu asixhenxe anamanci mathathu, ngokweshekele yengcwele.
25 Ke isilivere yabo babalwayo bebandla yaba likhulu leetalente neeshekele eziliwaka elinamakhulu asixhenxe anamanci asixhenxe anantlanu, ngokweshekele yengcwele.
26 Yaba yibheka ngentloko yomntu (isiqingatha seshekele leyo, ngokweshekele yengcwele), kubo bonke abagqithelayo kwabo babalwayo; bethabathela kominyaka imashumi mabini ezelwe, nangaphezulu, kubo abangamawaka angamakhulu omathandathu anamawaka amathathu, anamakhulu amahlanu anamanci mahlanu.
27 Ngeetalente zesilivere ezilikhulu kwatyhidwa iziseko zengcwele neziseko zomkhusane; yalikhulu leziseko kwikhulu leetalente, yayitalente kwisiseko.
28 Ngeeshekele eziliwaka elinamakhulu asixhenxe anamanci asixhenxe anantlanu, wenza amagwegwe eentsika, wawaleka amantloko azo, wenza iminqiwu.
29 Ubhedu olungumtshangatshangiso lwaye luziitalente ezingamashumi osixhenxe, neeshekele ezingamawaka amabini anamakhulu mane.
30 Wenza ngalo iziseko zomnyango wentente yokuhlangana, nesibingelelo sobhedu, nothango lwaso lobhedu, nempahla yonke yesibingelelo;
31 neziseko zentendelezo ejikelezileyo, neziseko zesango lentendelezo, nezikhonkwane zonke zomnquba, nezikhonkwane zonke zentendelezo ejikelezileyo.
