And take thou to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.
2 Umusokere mʼbale wako, Aaroni, zovala zopatulika kuti azioneka mwaulemerero ndi molemekezeka.
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
3 Uwawuze anthu onse aluso amene Ine ndawapatsa nzeru pa ntchito yosoka kuti apange zovala za Aaroni za pa mwambo womupatula, kuti iye anditumikire monga wansembe.
And thou shalt speak to all that are wise in heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
4 Zovala zoti apange ndi izi: chovala chapachifuwa, efodi, mkanjo, mwinjiro wolukidwa, nduwira ndi lamba. Apangire mʼbale wako Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna zovala zopatulikazi kuti iwo anditumikire monga ansembe.
And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a mitre, and a waistband: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.

And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Mayina asanu ndi limodzi akhale pa mwala umodzi, ndipo mayina asanu ndi limodzi pa mwala winawo motsata mabadwidwe awo.
Six of their names on one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 Mayina a ana a Israeli uwazokote pa miyala iwiriyo, monga momwe amachitira mmisiri wozokota miyala. Ndipo uyike miyalayo mu zoyikamo zake zagolide.
With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in settings of gold.

And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of braided work shalt thou make them, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.
15 “Upange chovala chapachifuwa chogwiritsa ntchito poweruza mlandu ndipo uchipange mwaluso kwambiri. Uchipange ngati efodi pogwiritsa ntchito golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo, yofiira, yofewa yosalala ndi yolukidwa bwino.
And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with skilful work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Kutalika kwake kukhale kofanana mbali zonse, mulitali masentimita 23, mulifupi masentimita 23, ndipo chikhale chopinda pawiri.
Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its breadth.

And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
22 “Upange timaunyolo tagolide wabwino kwambiri ta pa chovala chapachifuwa, topota ngati chingwe.
And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of braided work of pure gold.
23 Upangenso mphete ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzimangirire pa ngodya ziwiri za pa chovala chapachifuwa.
And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 Umangirire timaunyolo tiwiri tagolide tija pa mphete za pa ngodya pa chovala chapachifuwacho.
And thou shalt put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.

And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in its border, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 Upangenso mphete zina ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzilumikize kumunsi kwa tinsalu takutsogolo kwa efodi, pafupi ndi msoko, pamwamba pangʼono pa lamba wamʼchiwuno wa efodi.
And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, opposite its other coupling, above the beautifully woven band of the ephod.
28 Tsono umangirire mphete za pa chovala chapachifuwa zija ku mphete za efodi ndi chingwe chamtundu wa mtambo, kulumikiza lamba ndi chovala chapachifuwacho kuti chovala chapachifuwacho chisalekane ndi efodi.
And they shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the beautifully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 “Pamene Aaroni akulowa kumalo opatulika azivala chovala chapachifuwa cha zoweruzira chija chimene chalembedwa mayina a ana a Israeli kuti Yehova awakumbukire nthawi zonse.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he entereth into the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
30 Ndiponso uyike Urimu ndi Tumimu mu chovala chapachifuwa cha zoweruziracho, kuti zikhale pamtima pa Aaroni. Choncho Aaroniyo adzakhala akutenga nthawi zonse zida zomuthandizira kuweruza ana a Israeli pamene adzafika pamaso pa Yehova.
And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
31 “Uyipangire efodiyo mkanjo wamtundu wa mtambo.
And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 Mkanjowo ukhala ndi malo opisapo mutu pakati pakepo. Pa chibowopo pakhale chibandi chosokedwa mochita ngati kuluka monga muja akhalira malaya kuti chibowocho chilimbe, chisangʼambike.
And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst of it: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent.
33 Pa mpendero wamʼmunsi wa mkanjowo, upange mphonje zokhala ngati makangadza za nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira zokhala ndi maberu agolide pakati pake.
And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, all around on its hem; and bells of gold between them all around:
34 Choncho pazikhala mphonje imodzi kenaka belu limodzi, kuzungulira mpendero wa mkanjo wonse.
A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe around it.
35 Aaroni azivala mkanjowo pamene akutumikira ngati wansembe. Kulira kwa maberu kuzimveka pamene akulowa mʼmalo opatulika pamaso pa Yehova ndiponso pamene akutuluka, kuti asafe.
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in to the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.
36 “Upange duwa lagolide wabwino kwambiri kukhala ngati chidindo ndipo uzokotepo mawu akuti, Cohoperekedwa kwa Yehova.
And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 Ulimange ndi chingwe cha nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo pa nduwira ya Aaroni, ndipo duwalo likhale kutsogolo kwa nduwirayo.
And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the front of the mitre it shall be.
38 Lidzakhala pa mphumi ya Aaroni, motero iye adzasenza cholakwa chilichonse cha pa zopereka zilizonse zimene Aisraeli amazipatulira Yehova. Aaroni azivala chikwangwanichi pa mphumi pake nthawi zonse kuti Yehova alandire zopereka za anthu ake.
And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
39 “Uluke mwinjiro wa nsalu yofewa yosalala ndiponso upange nduwira ya nsalu yofewa yosalala. Lamba wake akhale wolukidwa bwino ndi munthu waluso.
And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the waistband of needlework.
40 Upangirenso ana a Aaroni mwinjiro, malamba ndi nduwira kuti azioneka mwaulemu ndi molemekezeka.
And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them waistbands, and headdresses shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 Zovala zimenezi umuveke Aaroni, mʼbale wako ndi ana ake. Kenaka uwadzoze, uwapatse udindo ndi kuwapatula kuti anditumikire ngati ansembe anga.
And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and on his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
42 “Uwapangire akabudula a nsalu yofewa oyambira mʼchiwuno kulekeza mʼntchafu kuti asamaonetse maliseche.
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
43 Aaroni ndi ana ake ayenera kuvala akabudulawo pamene akulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kapena pamene akupita ku guwa lansembe kukatumikira malo oyera kuopa kuti angachimwe ndi kufa. “Ili likhale lamulo la nthawi zonse kwa Aaroni ndi zidzukulu zake.”
And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they enter in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever to him and to his seed after him.
