In that way, Aaron will have the names of the twelve Israeli tribes in the sacred pouch close to his chest when he enters the Holy Place. This will remind him that I, Yahweh, [will never forget my people] (OR, [that he represents my people when he talks to me, Yahweh]).
30 Igi aduna amo Ulimi amola Damini amo Bidegi Gaga: su ganodini salima. Amasea, Elane da Hadigi Malei Sesei (amo ganodini Hina Gode da esalebe) amo ganodini masea e da ea dogo dafulili Ulimi amola Damini gaguli misunu. Amasea, e da Na da Na fi dunu ilia hou hamoma: ne ilegei, amo dawa: digimu.

When Aaron enters the Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to do his work as a priest and when he leaves the Sacred Tent, the bells will ring [as he walks]. As a result, he will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].

“[Tell them to] make a tiny ornament of pure gold, and tell a (skilled workman/gem-cutter) to engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh.’

Aaron must always wear this on his forehead. In that way, Aaron himself will show [that he accepts] the guilt if the Israeli people offer [their sacrifices] to me in a way that is not correct, and I, Yahweh, will accept their sacrifices.
39 Elane ea da: i salasu amo abula noga: iwane amoga hamoma. Ea habuga amola abula bulu amo abula noga: iwane amoga hamoma. Abula bulu amo da: iya sibi hinabo amoga amunima.

“[Tell them to] make beautiful long-sleeved tunics/gowns, sashes, and caps for Aaron’s sons. Make ones that will be suitable for those who have this dignified work.
41 Amo abula liligi huluane, di amo dia ola Elane amola egefelali ilima gasisa: lima. Amasea, ilia da Na gobele salasu dunu hawa: hamomusa: momogili gagama: ne, ilia dialuma da: iya olife susuligi sogadigima.
Put these clothes on your [older] brother Aaron and on his sons. Then (set them apart/dedicate them) for this work by anointing them [with olive oil], in order that they may serve me [by being] priests.
42 Ilia selefa dunumuni, abula amoga hamoma. Amo selefa da ilia hagomo asili ilia masele amoga doaga: mu. Ilia sema mae ba: ma: ne agoane hamoma.
Also [tell them to] make linen undershorts for them. The undershorts should extend from their waists to their thighs, in order that no one can see their private parts.
43 Elane amola egefelali da eso huluane Na Abula Diasu ganodini golili dasea o oloda amoga gobele salasu hamoma: ne amo gadenene masea, ilia da amo selefa salawane misunu. Bai ilia da ilia sema olelesea, fanelegei dagoi ba: sa: besa: le, agoane hamomu da defea. Amo da sema amo Elane amola egaga fi da mae yolesili hamonanoma: mu.
Aaron and his sons must always wear those undershorts when they enter the Sacred Tent or when they come near to the altar to offer sacrifices in the Holy Place. If they do not obey this command, I will cause them to die. Aaron and all his male descendants must obey this rule forever.”
