2 你要给你哥哥亚伦做圣衣为荣耀，为华美。

And you shall make a holy vestment for Aaron, your brother, with glory and elegance.

3 又要吩咐一切心中有智慧的，就是我用智慧的灵所充满的，给亚伦做衣服，使他分别为圣，可以给我供祭司的职分。

And you shall speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of prudence, so that they may make the vestments of Aaron, in which, having been sanctified, he may minister to me.

4 所要做的就是胸牌、以弗得、外袍、杂色的内袍、冠冕、腰带，使你哥哥亚伦和他儿子穿这圣服，可以给我供祭司的职分。

Now these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A breastplate and an ephod, a tunic and a close-fit linen garment, a headdress and a wide belt. They shall make the holy vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.

By the work of a sculptor and the skill of a jeweler, you shall engrave them with the names of the sons of Israel, enclosed and encompassed with gold.

12 要将这两块宝石安在以弗得的两条肩带上，为以色列人做纪念石。亚伦要在两肩上担他们的名字，在耶和华面前作为纪念。

And you shall place them on both sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord, upon both shoulders, as a remembrance.

13 要用金子做二槽，

You shall also make hooks of gold,

14 又拿精金，用拧工仿佛拧绳子，做两条链子，把这拧成的链子搭在二槽上。”

And these shall have the names of the sons of Israel. With twelve names shall they be engraved: each stone with one name from the twelve tribes.

22 要在胸牌上用精金拧成如绳的链子。

You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,

23 在胸牌上也要做两个金环，安在胸牌的两头。

27 又要做两个金环，安在以弗得前面两条肩带的下边，挨近相接之处，在以弗得巧工织的带子以上。

And then you shall also make two other rings of gold, which are to be suspended on both sides at the bottom of the ephod, which looks out opposite the face of the lower juncture, so that the breastplate can be fitted to the ephod.

28 要用蓝细带子把胸牌的环子与以弗得的环子系住，使胸牌贴在以弗得巧工织的带子上，不可与以弗得离缝。

And it shall be drawn tight to the rings of the breastplate, by the rings of the ephod, with a hyacinth band, so that the well-constructed juncture will remain in place, and the breastplate and the ephod will not be able to be separated from one another.

29 亚伦进圣所的时候，要将决断胸牌，就是刻着以色列儿子名字的，带在胸前，在耶和华面前常作纪念。

And Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment upon his chest, when he enters into the Sanctuary, as a memorial in the presence of the Lord in eternity.

30 又要将乌陵和土明放在决断的胸牌里；亚伦进到耶和华面前的时候，要带在胸前，在耶和华面前常将以色列人的决断牌带在胸前。”

Then you shall place in the breastplate of judgment, Doctrine and Truth, which shall then be upon Aaron’s chest, when he enters before the Lord. And he shall wear the judgment of the sons of Israel on his chest, in the sight of the Lord always.

31 “你要做以弗得的外袍，颜色全是蓝的。

And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,

32 袍上要为头留一领口，口的周围织出领边来，仿佛铠甲的领口，免得破裂。

and the head will be above its middle, with a hem woven around it, just as is usually made at the end parts of a garment, so that it may not be easily broken.

33 袍子周围底边上要用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线做石榴。在袍子周围的石榴中间要有金铃铛：

Yet truly, beneath it, at the base of the same tunic, all around, you shall make something like pomegranates, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with little bells set in their midst.

34 一个金铃铛一个石榴，一个金铃铛一个石榴，在袍子周围的底边上。

So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.

35 亚伦供职的时候要穿这袍子。他进圣所到耶和华面前，以及出来的时候，袍上的响声必被听见，使他不至于死亡。

And Aaron will be vested with it during the office of his ministry, so that the sound may be heard when he enters and exits the Sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and so that he may not die.

And you shall make a plate of the purest gold, in which you shall engrave, with the skill of a sculptor, ‘Holy to the Lord.’

37 要用一条蓝细带子将牌系在冠冕的前面。

And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,

38 这牌必在亚伦的额上，亚伦要担当干犯圣物条例的罪孽；这圣物是以色列人在一切的圣礼物上所分别为圣的。这牌要常在他的额上，使他们可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。

hanging in front of the high priest. And Aaron shall carry the iniquities of that which the sons of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and donations. But the plate will always be at his forehead, so that the Lord may be well pleased with them.

39 要用杂色细麻线织内袍，用细麻布做冠冕，又用绣花的手工做腰带。

And you shall draw the tunic tight with fine linen, and you shall make a headdress of fine linen, and a wide belt, wrought with embroidery.

40 “你要为亚伦的儿子做内袍、腰带、裹头巾，为荣耀，为华美。

Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.

41 要把这些给你的哥哥亚伦和他的儿子穿戴，又要膏他们，将他们分别为圣，好给我供祭司的职分。

And with all these you shall vest your brother Aaron, and his sons with him. And you shall consecrate all their hands, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.

42 要给他们做细麻布裤子，遮掩下体；裤子当从腰达到大腿。

You shall also make linen undergarments, in order to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the kidneys all the way to the thighs.

43 亚伦和他儿子进入会幕，或就近坛，在圣所供职的时候必穿上，免得担罪而死。这要为亚伦和他的后裔作永远的定例。”

And Aaron and his sons will use them when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach toward the altar, in order to minister in the sanctuary, lest, being guilty of iniquity, they may die. It shall be a law forever for Aaron, and for his offspring after him.”
