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.
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.
2 Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.
Nam ya Aaron lensawkhaih hoi kranghoihaih amtueng thai hanah, kaciim kahninawk to sah paeh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
5 They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
Nihcae mah sui, rong kamiing, rong kamling hup hoi rong kathim puu ngan kahni to lak han angaih.
6 They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
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.
7 It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
To palaeng ah avak ih kahni loe, palaeng hnetto pongah avak han sahsak ah loe, atom hnetto zaeng hanah angqumsak ah.
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.
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.
9 Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
Onyx thlung hnetto lah ah loe, to thlung pongah Israel caanawk ih ahmin to tarik ah;
10 six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13 Fashion gold filigree settings
Thlung loe sui hoi sak ih tabu thungah suem ah;
14 and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.
boenghaih aqai ah suek ih qui to kaciim sui hoiah pakhui ah loe, thlung suekhaih tabu hoi nawnto pathlet ah.
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.
Kahni to rong kamiing, rong kamling hup, rong kathim puu ngan hoi sak ih baktih toengah, saoek padaphaih doeh kahoih ah sah ah.
16 It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
To saoek padaphaih hmuen loe hnetto ah pakhraep ah, kasawk karto, kalen karto omsak ah; taki palito kangvan ah sah ah.
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;
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,
18 in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
ahmuen hnetto haih pongah, emerald thlung, sarfai thlung hoi diamond thlung to pahung ah.
19 in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Ahmuen thumto haih pongah, Jacinth thlung, agate thlung hoi amethi thlungnawk to pahung ah loe,
20 and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
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.
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.
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.
22 For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
Saoek padaphaih ranuih aqai ih takii hnetto pongah, kaciim sui hoi pakhui ih qui hnetto suem ah.
23 You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.
Saoek padaphaih nuiah sui hoiah kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto sah ah loe, padaphaih aqai ah pathlet hmaek ah.
24 Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
Saoek padaphaih aqai hnetto pongah kaom sui hoi sak ih kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto thungah, sui hoi sak ih qui hnetto pathlet hmaek ah.
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.
Sui hoi sak ih qui hnetto loe thlung pahunghaih tabu hnetto pongah pathlet ah loe, palaeng ah avak ih kahni hmaa ah suem ah.
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.
Sui hoiah kangbuet luet akhaw hnetto sah ah loe, kahni thungah kaom saoek padaphaih tlim ih, aqai hnetto nuiah suem ah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
31 You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
Palaeng ah avak ih kahni to rong kamiing tlangqui hoiah sah ah.
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.
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.
33 Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,
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.
34 alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.
Sui hoi sak ih dar maeto pacoengah, pomegranate thingthai krang maeto, kahni atom ranuih, a taeng boih ah soi ah.
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.
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.
36 You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
Kaciim sui sabae maeto sah ah loe, bantuek nuiah tarik ih baktih toengah, to sabae nuiah, ANGRAENG HAN CIIMCAIHAIH, tiah tarik ah.
37 Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
Lumuek hmaa ah kamiing tlangqui hoiah kom ah.
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.
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.
39 You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.
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.
40 Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.
Aaron capanawk lensawkhaih amtueng thai hanah, laihaw, lumuek hoi kaeng zaenghaih kazii to sah paeh.
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.
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.
42 Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.
Nihcae ih takpum to khuk hanah, kaeng hoi phaih khoek to kapha, puu ngan kahni to sah pae ah.
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.
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.
