Exodus 28

1 And bring thou near to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the sons of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

١ وَافْرِزْ لِي هَرُونَ أَخَاكَ وَأَوْلادَهُ: نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ، مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَكُونُوا لِي كَهَنَةً.

2 And thou shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.

٢ وَاصْنَعْ لأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

3 And thou shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

٣ وَخَاطِبْ كُلَّ ذِي مَهَارَةٍ مِمَّنْ وَهَبْتُهُمْ رُوحَ الْبَرَاعَةِ فِي الْحِيَاكَةِ لِيَصْنَعُوا ثِيَابَ هَرُونَ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ، فَيَكُونَ كَاهِناً لِي.

4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a miter, and a sash. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الثِّيَابُ الَّتِي يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ صِنَاعَتُهَا: صُدْرَةٌ وَرِدَاءٌ وَجُبَّةٌ وَقَمِيصٌ مُخَرَّمٌ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَحِزَامٌ، يَصْنَعُونَهَا ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِهَرُونَ وَأَوْلادِهِ، لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

٥ وَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوا فِي حِيَاكَتِهَا خُيُوطاً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةً وَحَمْرَاءَ وَالْكَتَّانَ الْفَاخِرَ.

6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.

٦ وَلْيَقُمْ أَمْهَرُ الخَيَّاطِينَ عَلَى صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَمِنَ الكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومِ.

7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.

٧ يَكُونُ لَهُ كَتِفَانِ مُتَّصِلانِ فِي طَرَفَيْهِ لِيُمْكِنَ تَثْبِيتُهُ.

8 And the skillfully woven band, which is upon it, with which to gird it on, shall be like the work of it and of the same piece, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

٨ أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ الَّذِي يَشُدُّهُ، فَيَكُونُ مُحَاكاً مِنْهُ، مَصْنُوعاً بِمَهَارَةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ فَاخِرٍ.

9 And thou shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

٩ ثُمَّ خُذْ حَجَرَيْ جَزْعٍ، وَانْقُشْ عَلَيْهِمَا أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth.

١٠ تَنْقُشُ كلَّ سِتَّةِ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى حَجَرٍ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَارِيخِ وِلادَتِهِمْ.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, thou shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel. Thou shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

١١ انْقُشْ أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْحَجَرَيْنِ تَمَاماً مِثْلَ حَفْرِ النَّقَّاشِ الْمَاهِرِ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ، وَطَوِّقْهُمَا بِإِطَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

12 And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

١٢ وَتُرَصِّعُ كَتِفَي الرِّدَاءِ بِالْحَجَرَيْنِ، فَيَكُونَانِ حَجَرَيْ تَذْكَارٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

13 And thou shall make settings of gold,

١٣ وَتَصْنَعُ طَوْقَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

14 and two chains of pure gold, like cords shall thou make them, of wreathen work. And thou shall put the wreathen chains on the settings.

١٤ وَسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مَبْرُومَتَيْنِ كَحَبْلٍ، تُعَلِّقُهُمَا بِالطَّوْقَيْنِ.

15 And thou shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman. Thou shall make it like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, thou shall make it.

١٥ كَلِّفْ أَمْهَرَ الخَيَّاطِينَ بِصِنَاعَةِ «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ عَلَى غِرَارِ صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ.

16 It shall be foursquare and double, a span shall be the length of it, and a span the breadth of it.

١٦ وَتَكُونُ مُرَبَّعَةً مَثْنِيَّةً مِنْ طَبَقَتَيْنِ، وَطُولُهَا شِبْرٌ وَعَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ.

17 And thou shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row,

١٧ وَتُرَصِّعُونَهَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوُفٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْكَرِيمَةِ. الصَّفُ الأَوَّلُ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ.

18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond,

١٨ وَالصَّفُّ الثَّانِي: بَهْرَمَانٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ.

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst,

١٩ وَالصَّفُّ الثَّالِثُ: عَيْنُ الهِرِّ وَيَشْمٌ وَجَمَشْتٌ.

20 and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

٢٠ وَالصَّفُّ الرَّابعُ: زَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشَبٌ، وَتُؤَطِّرُهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَطْوَاقٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ فِي تَرْصِيعِهَا.

21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name; they shall be for the twelve tribes.

٢١ وَتَنْقُشُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ اسْمَ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ نَقْشِ الْخَاتَمِ الْمَحْفُورَةِ عَلَيْهِ أَسْمَاءُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطاً.

22 And thou shall make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.

٢٢ وَاصْنَعْ عَلَى الصُّدْرَةِ سَلاسِلَ مَبْرُومَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مِثْلَ الْحَبْلِ الْمَضْفُورِ.

23 And thou shall make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

٢٣ وَتَضَعُ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

24 And thou shall put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

٢٤ وَتَجْعَلُ ضَفِيرَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ فِي الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ.

25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart of it.

٢٥ كَمَا تُدْخِلُ طَرَفَيِ الضَّفِيرَتَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ فِي الطَّوْقَيْنِ، وَتَجْعَلُهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ.

26 And thou shall make two rings of gold, and thou shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge of it, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

٢٦ وَتَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَتُثَبِّتُهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُلاصِقَةِ لِلرِّدَاءِ.

27 And thou shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

٢٧ كَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَتَضَعُهُمَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِ كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ عِنْدَ مَكَانِ الْوَصْلِ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ.

28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

٢٨ وَتَرْبِطُ حَلْقَتَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ إِلَى حَلْقَتَيِ الرِّدَاءِ بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ لِتَثْبُتَ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا لَا تُنْتَزَعُ الصُّدْرَةُ عَنِ الرِّدَاءِ.

29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

٢٩ فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ، تَذْكَاراً دَائِماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ

30 And thou shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Jehovah. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.

٣٠ وَتَضَعُ أَيْضاً فِي صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ «الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ» لِيَحْمِلَهَا هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَهَكَذَا يَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً رَمْزَ قَضَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

31 And thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

٣١ أَمَّا الْجُبَّةُ فَتَصْنَعُهَا كُلَّهَا مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ،

32 And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst of it. It shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not torn.

٣٢ لَهَا فَتْحَةٌ لِلرَّأْسِ فِي وَسَطِهَا، ذَاتُ حَاشِيَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةٍ، صِنَاعَةِ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ. عَلَى غِرَارِ فَتْحَةِ الْقَمِيصِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ لَا تَتَمَزَّقَ،

33 And upon the skirts of it thou shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts of it, and bells of gold between them round about:

٣٣ وَتَتَدَلَّى مِنْ هُدْبِهَا رُمَّانَاتٌ زَرْقَاءُ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةٌ وَحَمْرَاءُ، وَتُعَلِّقُ بَيْنَهَا أَجْرَاساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.

٣٤ فَيَكُونُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رُمَّانَتَيْنِ جَرَسٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا جَمِيعَهَا عَلَى أَذْيَالِ الْجُبَّةِ.

35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister. And the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out, that he does not die.

٣٥ فَيَرْتَدِي هَرُونُ الْجُبَّةَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ لِلْخِدْمَةِ، فَتُسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتُهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ، لَئِلا يَمُوتَ.

36 And thou shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.

٣٦ وَاصْنَعْ صَفِيحَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَاحْفُرْ عَلَيْهَا كَالْحَفْرِ عَلَى خَاتَمٍ: «قُدْسٌ للرَّبِّ»

37 And thou shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the miter. It shall be upon the forefront of the miter.

٣٧ وَثَبِّتْهَا بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عِمَامَةِ هَرُونَ،

38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead. And Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts. And it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

٣٨ فَتَكُونَ دَائِماً عَلَى جَبْهَةِ هَرُونَ، فَيَحْمِلَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وِزْرَ أَخْطَائِهِمْ فِي تَقْدِمَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي يُخَصِّصُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ. وَعَلَى هَرُونَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّمَ بِها دَائِماً عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ.

39 And thou shall weave the tunic in checker work of fine linen. And thou shall make a miter of fine linen. And thou shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

٣٩ وَتَصْنَعُ قَمِيصَ هَرُونَ الْمُخَرَّمَ وَعِمَامَتَهُ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ كَتَّانِيٍّ، أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَتُطَرِّزُهُ تَطْرِيزَ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ.

40 And for Aaron's sons thou shall make tunics. And thou shall make for them sashes, and head-coverings thou shall make for them, for glory and for beauty.

٤٠ وَكَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ لِبَنِي هَرُونَ أَقْمِصَةً وَأَحْزِمَةً، وَقَلانِسَ لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

41 And thou shall put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

٤١ وَتُلْبِسُهَا هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ. ثُمَّ امْسَحْهُمْ بِزَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَكَرِّسْهُمْ لِلْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها، وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

42 And thou shall make for them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach.

٤٢ وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سَرَاوِيلَ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ لِسَتْرِ الْعَوْرَةِ، تَصِلُ مِنَ الْحَقْوَيْنِ إِلَى الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ.

43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in to the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place, that they not bear iniquity, and die. It shall be a statute forever to him and to his seed after him.

٤٣ فَيَلْبَسُهَا هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ تَحْتَ قُمْصَانِهِمْ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَخْدِمُوا فِي القُدْسِ، لِئَلّا يُخْطِئُوا فَيَمُوتُوا. هَذَا فَرْضٌ دَائِمٌ عَلَى هَرُونَ وَنَسْلِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.
