Exodus 28
1 Anih mah qaima baktiah kai ih tok sak thaih hanah, Israel kaminawk salak hoiah nam ya Aaron, a capa Nadab, Abihu, Eleazer hoi Ithamar cae to, nangmah khaeah kawk ah.
Now let Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, come near from among the children of Israel, so that they may be my priests, even Aaron, and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, his sons.
2 Nam ya Aaron lensawkhaih hoi kranghoihaih amtueng thai hanah, kaciim kahninawk to sah paeh.
And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.
3 Aaron mah ka hmaa ah qaima toksak thaih moe, anih to pahoe pacoengah ciimsak hanah, ka paek ih palunghahaih tawn bantok sah kop kaminawk mah Aaron ih kahni to sak pae o hanah thui ah.
Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.
4 A sak pae o han ih kahni loe, saoek padaphaih, palaeng ah avak ih kahni, anui ah khuk ih kahni, a aem takaek ih laihaw, lumuek hoi kaeng zaenghaih kaziinawk hae ni: nam ya Aaron hoi a capanawk mah qaima baktiah kai ih tok to sak o thai hanah, kaciim kahninawk to sah pae oh.
This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.
5 Nihcae mah sui, rong kamiing, rong kamling hup hoi rong kathim puu ngan kahni to lak han angaih.
They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,
6 A lak o ih sui, rong kamiing, rong kamling hup hoi rong kathim puu ngan kahni hoiah palaeng ah avak ih kahni to kahoih ah sah pae oh.
And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.
7 To palaeng ah avak ih kahni loe, palaeng hnetto pongah avak han sahsak ah loe, atom hnetto zaeng hanah angqumsak ah.
It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.
8 Kahni ranui ah sak ih kahoih kaengkaeh doeh, palaeng ah avak ih kahni hoi anghmong hanah, sui, rong kamiing, rong kamling hup hoi rong kathim puu ngan hoiah sahsak ah.
And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.
9 Onyx thlung hnetto lah ah loe, to thlung pongah Israel caanawk ih ahmin to tarik ah;
You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:
10 angmacae tapenhaih baktih toengah, thlung maeto pongah kami tarukto ih ahmin to tarik ah loe, kalah thlung maeto pongah kami tarukto ih ahmin to tarik ah.
Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.
11 Thlung thuk kakop kaminawk mah, bantuek nuiah ca tarik o ih baktih toengah, Israel caanawk ih ahmin to thlung hnetto pongah tarik ah; to pacoengah to ih thlung to sui tui palong ih tabu thungah suem ah.
With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
12 Israel caanawk mah panoek poehaih thlung ah suek o hanah, palaeng ah avak ih kahni nuiah hui caeng ah; Israel caanawk mah panoek o poe hanah, Aaron mah Angraeng hmaa ah nihcae ih ahminnawk to palaeng ah avak tih.
And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them.
13 Thlung loe sui hoi sak ih tabu thungah suem ah;
And you are to make twisted frames of gold;
14 boenghaih aqai ah suek ih qui to kaciim sui hoiah pakhui ah loe, thlung suekhaih tabu hoi nawnto pathlet ah.
And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.
15 Kahni to rong kamiing, rong kamling hup, rong kathim puu ngan hoi sak ih baktih toengah, saoek padaphaih doeh kahoih ah sah ah.
And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen.
16 To saoek padaphaih hmuen loe hnetto ah pakhraep ah, kasawk karto, kalen karto omsak ah; taki palito kangvan ah sah ah.
It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.
17 To saoek padaphaih nuiah ahmuen palito kangphaeng ah thlung to pahungh ah; ahmuen maeto pongah, sardiz thlung, topaz thlung hoi beryl thlung to pahung ah loe,
And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;
18 ahmuen hnetto haih pongah, emerald thlung, sarfai thlung hoi diamond thlung to pahung ah.
The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;
19 Ahmuen thumto haih pongah, Jacinth thlung, agate thlung hoi amethi thlungnawk to pahung ah loe,
The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20 ahmuen palito haih pongah loe, krisolin thlung, onyx thlung hoi jasper thlungnawk to pahung ah; to thlungnawk loe sui hoi sak ih thingkhong thungah suem ah.
The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
21 Israel acaeng hathlai hnetto oh moe, bantuek nuiah tarik ih ca baktih toengah, to thlung pongah, Israel acaeng hathlai hnetto ahmin to tarik ah; thlung maeto pongah Israel acaeng ahmin maeto tarik ah.
The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.
22 Saoek padaphaih ranuih aqai ih takii hnetto pongah, kaciim sui hoi pakhui ih qui hnetto suem ah.
And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.
23 Saoek padaphaih nuiah sui hoiah kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto sah ah loe, padaphaih aqai ah pathlet hmaek ah.
And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.
24 Saoek padaphaih aqai hnetto pongah kaom sui hoi sak ih kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto thungah, sui hoi sak ih qui hnetto pathlet hmaek ah.
Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;
25 Sui hoi sak ih qui hnetto loe thlung pahunghaih tabu hnetto pongah pathlet ah loe, palaeng ah avak ih kahni hmaa ah suem ah.
Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.
26 Sui hoiah kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto sah ah loe, kahni thungah kaom saoek padaphaih tlim ih, aqai hnetto nuiah suem ah.
Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.
27 Sui hoiah kalah kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto sah let ah loe, kahni hmaa bang ih atlim, kahoih ah sak ih kahni zaenghaih kazii ranuih, kahni aqai banqoi bangtang bangah suem hmaek ah.
And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:
28 Saoek padaphaih nui ih sui hoi sak ih kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto loe, kahni nui ih sui hoi sak ih kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto hoi nawnto pathlet ah loe, saoek padaphaih to kahni hoi amhoe han ai ah, kahoih ah sak ih kahni zaenghaih kazii ranui ah, rong kamiing qui hoiah kom ah.
So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose from the ephod.
29 Aaron hmuenciim thung akun kruek, Angraeng hmaa ah panoek poe hanah, lokcaekhaih saoek padaphaih kahni nuiah kaom, Israel caanawk ih ahmin to, angmah ih saoek nuiah avak poe tih.
And so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord.
30 Urim hoi Thummin doeh avak ih saoek padaphaih kahni thungah suem ah; Aaron mah Angraeng hmaa ah akun kruek, Urim hoi Thummin to Aaron ih palung thuem ah oh poe han oh; Aaron mah Israel kaminawk nuiah sak ih lok takroekhaih to angmah ih palung thuem ah Angraeng hmaa ah avak poe tih.
And in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.
31 Palaeng ah avak ih kahni to rong kamiing tlangqui hoiah sah ah.
The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;
32 A um ah lu suekhaih akhaw to suem ah; a um ah suek ih akhaw to angsih han ai ah, a taeng boih ban hoiah sak ih kahni hoiah abu ah.
With a hole at the top, in the middle of it; the hole is to be edged with a band to make it strong like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, so that it may not be broken open.
33 Kahni tlim ih atom ah tlangqui kamiing, tlangqui kamling hup, tlangqui kathim hoiah pomegranat thingthai krang to soi ah loe, salakah sui hoi sak ih dar krang to soi ah.
And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;
34 Sui hoi sak ih dar maeto pacoengah, pomegranate thingthai krang maeto, kahni atom ranuih, a taeng boih ah soi ah.
A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.
35 Aaron mah toksak hanah, Angraeng hmaa ah, hmuenciim thungah akun naah, dueh ai ah, tacawt hanah, to kahni to angkhuk moe, anih ih lok to thaih han angaih.
Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.
36 Kaciim sui sabae maeto sah ah loe, bantuek nuiah tarik ih baktih toengah, to sabae nuiah, ANGRAENG HAN CIIMCAIHAIH, tiah tarik ah.
You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.
37 Lumuek hmaa ah kamiing tlangqui hoiah kom ah.
Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:
38 To hmuen loe Aaron ih lupataeh ah om ueloe, Israelnawk mah paek ih kaciim tangqumnawk, kaciim hmuennawk nuiah kaom, zaehaih to anih mah phaw tih; Angraeng mah to hmuennawk talawk thai hanah, to hmuen to Aaron ih lupataeh ah oh poe han angaih.
And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.
39 Laihaw loe puu ngan hoiah sah ah loe, lumuek doeh puu ngan hoiah sah paeh; kaeng ah angzaeng ih kazii loe kaengkaeh sah kop kami khaeah sahsak ah.
The coat is to be made of the best linen, worked in squares; and you are to make a head-dress of linen, and a linen band worked in needlework.
40 Aaron capanawk lensawkhaih amtueng thai hanah, laihaw, lumuek hoi kaeng zaenghaih kazii to sah paeh.
And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour.
41 To tiah nam ya Aaron hoi a caanawk to khukbuen angkhuksak moe, ka tok a sak o thai hanah, situi hoiah bawh ah, nihcae to caksak ah loe, ciimcaisak ah.
These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me.
42 Nihcae ih takpum to khuk hanah, kaeng hoi phaih khoek to kapha, puu ngan kahni to sah pae ah.
And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee;
43 Aaron hoi a caanawk mah amkhuenghaih kahni im, to tih ai boeh loe hmuenciim ah toksak o hanah hmaicam taengah a caeh o naah, zaehaih mah phak thuih moe, a duek o han ai ah, to khukbuennawk to angkhuk o han angaih; hae loe Aaron hoi a caanawk hanah dungzan ah paek ih daan ah om tih.
Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.
