I-aldari lomhlabelo wokutjhiswa nesitja sekoporo
1UBhetsaleli wenza i-aldari lomhlabelo wokutjhiswa ngomuthi womtholo, laba sikwere ngaphezulu. Ubude nobubanzi belimamitha amabili nesiqunjwana, liphakeme ngemitha nesiqunjwana. 2Walenzela iimpundu emajikenalo amane. Iimpundwezo gade zinamathelene nalo, walinameka ngekoporo. 3Wenza zoke izitja ze-aldari ngekoporo. Zona gade kungilezi: iimbiza, iintjhefula, izitja zokunyenyeza, iimforogo nezitja zokutjhisela itjhwalo. 4Walenzela umsefo wekoporo njengenede ngemaqadi walo. Wabeka umsefo ngaphasi komqoqo we-aldari ukuze ulembelele uphelele phakathi e-aldarini. 5Walibumbela amasongo amane, wawabophelela emajikeni amane womsefo wekoporo bona abe ziimphatho zeengodo. 6Wenzela i-aldari iingodo zomtholo, wazinameka ngekoporo. 7Wafaka iingodwezo emasongweni ngemaqadi we-aldari kobana lithwalwe ngazo. I-aldari gade lenziwe ngamaplanka laba nomkghotho ngaphakathi.
8Godu wenza isitja sekoporo saba nesinzinziso sekoporo ngeemboniboni zabafazi okwathi muva basebenza emnyango wetende lokuhlanganela.
Isirhodlo sethaberinakeli
9UBhetsaleli wenza isirhodlo sethaberinakeli ngalendlela: Ngeswazini langesewula lethaberinakeli walembelelisa umlembelembe wamatjhila welineni emhlophe anomthungo, waba mamitha amatjhumi amane nahlanu. 10Ihlangothi lesirhodlwelo laba neensika ezimatjhumi amabili namanzinziso wakhona amatjhumi amabili enziwe ngekoporo. Kodwana iinkhonkhwani zeensika kanye nemipherho yakhona gade kwenziwe ngesiliva. 11Ngeswazini langetlhagwini lethaberinakeli nakhona kwaba nomlembelembe omamitha amatjhumi amane nahlanu ubude. Iinsika zakhona zaba matjhumi amabili namanzinziso wakhona enziwe ngekoporo aba matjhumi amabili. Kodwana iinkhonkhwani zeensika kanye nemipherho yakhona gade kwenziwe ngesiliva. 12Ngeswazini langetjingalanga lethaberinakeli khona gade kunomlembelembe wamatjhila omamitha amatjhumi amabili nambili nesiquntu, iinsika zakhona zilitjhumi namanzinziso wakhona alitjhumi. Iinkhonkhwani zeensika kanye nemipherho yakhona gade kwenziwe ngesiliva. 13Ngeswazini langaphambili lethaberinakeli ngepumalanga gade limamitha amatjhumi amabili nambili nesiquntu. 14-15Ihlangothi lesirhodlo langaphambili laba nemilembelembe emibili yamatjhila ephahle isango. Ubude bomlembelembe ngamunye bebumamitha asithandathu nesiquntu nesiqunjwana. Yomibili imilembelembe leyo yaba neensika ezintathu namanzinziso amathathu. 16Woke umlembelembe wamatjhila magegana nesirhodlo gade wenziwe ngelineni emhlophe enomthungo. 17Amanzinziso weensika gade ayikoporo, kodwana iinkhonkhwani zakhona kanye nemipherho yakhona gade kwenziwe ngesiliva. Iimpundu zeensika gade zinamekwe ngesiliva. Zoke iinsika zesirhodlo bezinemipherho yesiliva. 18Isivalo sesango lesirhodlo gade senziwe ngelineni emhlophe ethungwe ngewulu ehlaza komkayi, ebubende netlerebede. Gade simamitha alithoba ububanzi, simamitha amabili nesiqunjwana ukuphakama. Besilingana nokuphakama komlembelembe wesirhodlo. 19Isango belineensika ezine namanzinziso amane wekoporo. Iinkhonkhwani zeensika kanye nemipherho yakhona gade kuyisiliva. Iimpundu zakhona bezinamekwe ngesiliva. 20Zoke iinkhonkhwani zethaberinakeli nezesirhodlo magegana, gade ziyikoporo.
Iintlabagelo ezisetjenzisiweko
21Ngomyalo kaMosi amaLevi atlola isibalo seentlabagelo ezasetjenziswa mayelana nethaberinakeli okutjho itende lapha bekufakwe khona ubufakazi. AmaLevi lawo gade arholwa ngu-Itamara umsa ka-Aroni umphristi omkhulu. 22Lokho kwenziwa ngemva kobana uBhetsaleli umsa ka-Uri omsa kaRhuri ongowekoro yakwaJuda enze koke uSomnini ayala uMosi ngakho. 23Yena gade asekelwe ngu-Oholiyaba umsa ka-Arhisamaki wekoro yakwaDani ongusosino, umtlami nomthungi ngewulu ehlaza komkayi, ebubende netlerebede phezu kwelineni emhlophe.
24Inani legolide elasetjenziswa kiwo woke umsebenzi wethaberinakeli nakho koke okukilo gade limakhilogremu ayikulungwana ukuya ngesilinganiso esisetjenziswa endaweni ecwengileko. Igolideli lalethwa babantu njengesibiko.
25Isiliva eyalethwa ma-Israyeli atlolisweko gade imakhilogremu aziinkulungwana ezintathu namakhulu amane namatjhumi amathathu ukuya ngesilinganiso esisetjenziswa endaweni ecwengileko. 26Kwaba magremu amahlanu anesiquntu nesiqunjwana emuntwini ngamunye otlolisweko. Lokho bekusilinganiso esisiquntu sesipaparwana ukuya ngesilinganiso esisetjenziswa endaweni ecwengileko. (Bekubalwe ukusuka koneminyaka ematjhumi amabili ukuya phezulu, kwaba madoda aziinkulungwana ezimakhulu asithandathu nantathu namakhulu amahlanu anamatjhumi amahlanu.) 27Amakhilogremu aziinkulungwana ezintathu namakhulu amane netjhumi wesiliva gade asetjenziselwe ukubumba amanzinziso wendawo ecwengileko newesiyaya. Inaneli lasetjenziselwa ukubumba amanzinziso alikhulu okutjho bona amakhilogremu angaphezudlwana kwamatjhumi amathathu nane enza inzinziso linye. 28Ngamakhilogremu amatjhumi amabili wesiliva aseleko uBhetsaleli wenzela iinsika iinkhonkhwani, wanameka iimpundu zeensika bewazenzela nemipherho.
29Ikoporo eyalethwa njengesibiko gade imakhilogremu aziinkulungwana ezimbili namakhulu amane namatjhumi amabili nahlanu. 30UBhetsaleli wenza ngayo amanzinziso womnyango wetende lokuhlanganela, i-aldari lekoporo nomsefo wekoporo ngemaqadi kanye nazo zoke izitja ze-aldari, 31amanzinziso weensika zesirhodlo newesango laso kanye nazo zoke iinkhonkhwani zethaberinakeli nezesirhodlo.
