Exodus 28
1 “Next, have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to serve Me as priests.
“Aaroni mʼbale wako ndi ana ake aamuna, Nadabu, Abihu, Eliezara ndi Itamara uwapatule pakati pa Aisraeli. Abwere kwa iwe kuti anditumikire monga ansembe.
2 Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.
Umusokere mʼbale wako, Aaroni, zovala zopatulika kuti azioneka mwaulemerero ndi molemekezeka.
3 You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.
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.
4 These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests.
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.
5 They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
Iwo agwiritse ntchito golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo, yofiira ndi yosalala yofewa.
6 They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
“Apange efodi pogwiritsa ntchito golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira yolukidwa mwaluso.
7 It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
Efodiyo ikhale ndi timalamba tiwiri ta pa mapewa tosokerera ku msonga zake ziwiri kuti azitha kumanga.
8 And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
Lamba womangira efodi akhale wolukidwa mwaluso ngati efodiyo. Akhale wopangidwa ndi golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo, yofiira, yofewa yosalala.
9 Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
“Utenge miyala iwiri ya onikisi ndipo uzokotepo mayina a ana a Israeli.
10 six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.
Mayina asanu ndi limodzi akhale pa mwala umodzi, ndipo mayina asanu ndi limodzi pa mwala winawo motsata mabadwidwe awo.
11 Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings.
Mayina a ana a Israeli uwazokote pa miyala iwiriyo, monga momwe amachitira mmisiri wozokota miyala. Ndipo uyike miyalayo mu zoyikamo zake zagolide.
12 Fasten both stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.
Umangirire miyala iwiriyi pa tinsalu ta mʼmapewa ta efodi tija ngati miyala ya chikumbutso cha ana a Israeli. Aaroni azinyamula mayinawo mʼmapewa ake kuti akhale chikumbutso pamaso pa Yehova.
13 Fashion gold filigree settings
Upange zoyikamo za maluwa agolide,
14 and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.
ndiponso maunyolo awiri a golide wabwino kwambiri, wopetedwa ngati zingwe ndipo uwalumikize ku zoyikamozo.
15 You are also to make a breastpiece of judgment with the same workmanship as the ephod. Construct it with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
“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.
16 It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
Kutalika kwake kukhale kofanana mbali zonse, mulitali masentimita 23, mulifupi masentimita 23, ndipo chikhale chopinda pawiri.
17 And mount on it a setting of gemstones, four rows of stones: In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
Uyikepo mizere inayi ya miyala yokongola kwambiri. Mzere woyamba ukhale ndi miyala ya rubi, topazi ndi berili.
18 in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
Mzere wachiwiri pakhale miyala ya emeradi, safiro ndi dayimondi;
19 in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
mzere wachitatu pakhale miyala ya opera, agate ndi ametisiti.
20 and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
Mzere wachinayi pakhale miyala ya topazi, onikisi ndi yasipa. Miyalayi uyiike mu zoyikamo zagolide.
21 The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
Miyalayo ikhalepo khumi ndi iwiri, uliwonse kuyimira dzina limodzi la ana a Israeli. Mwala uliwonse uzokotedwe ngati chidindo dzina limodzi la mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
22 For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
“Upange timaunyolo tagolide wabwino kwambiri ta pa chovala chapachifuwa, topota ngati chingwe.
23 You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.
Upangenso mphete ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzimangirire pa ngodya ziwiri za pa chovala chapachifuwa.
24 Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
Umangirire timaunyolo tiwiri tagolide tija pa mphete za pa ngodya pa chovala chapachifuwacho.
25 and fasten the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
Ndipo mbali ina ya timaunyoloto umangirire pa zoyikapo zake ziwiri zija ndi kulumikiza pa tinsalu takutsogolo kwa mapewa a efodi.
26 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
Upangenso mphete ziwiri zagolide, ndipo uzilumikize ku ngodya ziwiri zamʼmunsi mwa chovala chapachifuwa, champhepete mwake, mʼkati pafupi ndi efodi ija.
27 Make two additional gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near its seam just above its woven waistband.
Upangenso mphete zina ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzilumikize kumunsi kwa tinsalu takutsogolo kwa efodi, pafupi ndi msoko, pamwamba pangʼono pa lamba wamʼchiwuno wa efodi.
28 The rings of the breastpiece shall be tied to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece is above the waistband of the ephod and does not swing out from the ephod.
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.
29 Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he shall bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of judgment, as a continual reminder before the LORD.
“Pamene Aaroni akulowa kumalo opatulika azivala chovala chapachifuwa cha zoweruzira chija chimene chalembedwa mayina a ana a Israeli kuti Yehova awakumbukire nthawi zonse.
30 And place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD.
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.
31 You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
“Uyipangire efodiyo mkanjo wamtundu wa mtambo.
32 with an opening at its top in the center. Around the opening shall be a woven collar with an opening like that of a garment, so that it will not tear.
Mkanjowo ukhala ndi malo opisapo mutu pakati pakepo. Pa chibowopo pakhale chibandi chosokedwa mochita ngati kuluka monga muja akhalira malaya kuti chibowocho chilimbe, chisangʼambike.
33 Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,
Pa mpendero wamʼmunsi wa mkanjowo, upange mphonje zokhala ngati makangadza za nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira zokhala ndi maberu agolide pakati pake.
34 alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.
Choncho pazikhala mphonje imodzi kenaka belu limodzi, kuzungulira mpendero wa mkanjo wonse.
35 Aaron must wear the robe whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters or exits the sanctuary before the LORD, so that he will not die.
Aaroni azivala mkanjowo pamene akutumikira ngati wansembe. Kulira kwa maberu kuzimveka pamene akulowa mʼmalo opatulika pamaso pa Yehova ndiponso pamene akutuluka, kuti asafe.
36 You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
“Upange duwa lagolide wabwino kwambiri kukhala ngati chidindo ndipo uzokotepo mawu akuti, Cohoperekedwa kwa Yehova.
37 Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
Ulimange ndi chingwe cha nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo pa nduwira ya Aaroni, ndipo duwalo likhale kutsogolo kwa nduwirayo.
38 And it will be worn on Aaron’s forehead, so that he may bear the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate with regard to all their holy gifts. It shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be acceptable before the LORD.
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.
39 You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.
“Uluke mwinjiro wa nsalu yofewa yosalala ndiponso upange nduwira ya nsalu yofewa yosalala. Lamba wake akhale wolukidwa bwino ndi munthu waluso.
40 Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.
Upangirenso ana a Aaroni mwinjiro, malamba ndi nduwira kuti azioneka mwaulemu ndi molemekezeka.
41 After you put these garments on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint them, ordain them, and consecrate them so that they may serve Me as priests.
Zovala zimenezi umuveke Aaroni, mʼbale wako ndi ana ake. Kenaka uwadzoze, uwapatse udindo ndi kuwapatula kuti anditumikire ngati ansembe anga.
42 Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.
“Uwapangire akabudula a nsalu yofewa oyambira mʼchiwuno kulekeza mʼntchafu kuti asamaonetse maliseche.
43 Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants.
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.”
