Exodus 28
1 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.
“Ugbu a, site nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel kpọbata nwanne gị nwoke Erọn, ya na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, bụ Nadab, na Abihu, na Elieza na Itama. Ka ha jeere m ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
2 And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.
Meere Erọn nwanne gị nwoke uwe nsọ, nke ga-enye ya ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
3 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.
Gwa ndị niile nwere onyinye ǹka nʼịdụ akwa, bụ ndị m nyere amamihe nʼihe ndị a, sị ha dụọrọ Erọn uwe pụrụ iche, nke e ji edo ya nsọ, ime ya onye na-ejere m ozi dịka onye nchụaja.
4 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.
Nke a bụ ụdị uwe ha ga-adụ: Ihe mgbochi obi, efọọd, uwe ime ahụ akpara akpa na-enweghị aka na uwe mwụda buru ibu, na uwe ime ahụ nke tụrụ agwa agwa na akwa a na-atụhị nʼisi na nke a na-eke nʼukwu. Ha ga-adụrụ Erọn nwanne gị nwoke na ụmụ ya ndị ikom uwe ndị a dị nsọ. Ka ha na-ejere m ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
5 They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,
Ka ha jiri ogho ọlaedo, nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, nke ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, nke uhie uhie nakwa nke ezi akwa ọcha dụọ ha.
6 And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.
“Weere ogho ọlaedo, na nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, na ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, na uhie uhie na ezi akwa ọcha a kpara nke ọma mee efọọd ahụ, nke bụ akaọrụ onye ǹka.
7 It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.
Ọ ga-enwe akwa nʼubu ya abụọ nke e ji ejikọta ọnụ nkuku ya abụọ, ka e nwe ike na-ekechisi ya ike.
8 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.
Ihe okike nke ukwu ahụ nke onye ǹka kpaziri nke ọma ga-adị ka ya. Ya na efọọd ahụ bụ otu, nke e ji ogho na-acha edo edo, nke anụnụ anụnụ, na ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie na uhie uhie, nakwa nke ezi akwa ọcha a kpara nke ọma mee.
9 You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:
“Were nkume ọniks abụọ, gbunye aha ụmụ ndị nwoke Izrel nʼelu ya,
10 Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.
nʼusoro dịka e si mụọ ha, isii nʼelu otu nkume, isii fọdụrụ na nkume nke ọzọ.
11 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.
Gbunye aha ụmụ ndị nwoke Izrel nʼelu nkume abụọ ndị ahụ, dịka onye ǹka si egbunye akara na nkume. Mgbe ahụ, hịọnye nkume ndị ahụ nʼime ihe ọlaedo ahụ a kpara akpa,
12 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.
jikọta ha nʼelu akwa ubu nke efọọd ahụ ka ọ bụrụ nkume ncheta mgbe ebighị ebi nye ụmụ Izrel. Erọn ga-ebukwa aha ndị a nʼelu ubu ya abụọ, dịka ihe ncheta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
13 And you are to make twisted frames of gold;
Ị ga-eji ọlaedo mee ihe ịchọ mma a tụrụ atụ.
14 And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.
Jirikwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ eriri a tụhịkọtara dịka ụdọ, jikọta eriri ọlaedo ahụ na ihe ịchọ mma ndị ahụ.
15 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.
“Ị ga-adụ ihe mgbochi obi nke ikpe, nke bụ ọrụ aka onye ǹka. Mee ya dịka efọọd ahụ: jiri ogho edo edo, nke anụnụ anụnụ, na ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, na nke uhie uhie nakwa ezi akwa ọcha a kpara nke ọma mee ya.
16 It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.
Akụkụ anọ ya ga-aha nʼotu, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼogologo, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼobosara, nke apịajiri ụzọ abụọ.
17 And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;
Mgbe ahụ, hịọnye nʼelu ya ahịrị nkume anọ ndị dị oke ọnụahịa. Ụdị ga-adị nʼahịrị nke mbụ bụ, nkume kanelian, krisolaịt na beril,
18 The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;
nʼahịrị nke abụọ, ga-abụ nkume tọkwọisi, safaia na emeralụdụ.
19 The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Nʼahịrị nke atọ ga-abụ nkume jasint, ageeti na ametisiti.
20 The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
Nʼahịrị nke anọ, ga-abụ nkume topaazi, ọniks na jaspa. Hịọnye ha nʼime ihe ọlaedo a kpara akpa.
21 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.
Ha niile ga-adị nkume iri na abụọ, nke ọbụla na-anọchi anya aha ụmụ ndị ikom Izrel. Egbunyere aha ebo iri na abụọ ahụ, otu nʼotu, nke ọbụla dịka aha ya si dị.
22 And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.
“Jiri ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee eriri a kpara akpa dịka ụdọ, maka ihe mgbochi obi.
23 And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.
Kpụkwaa mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ, dụnye ha na nkuku abụọ nke ihe mgbochi obi ahụ.
24 Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;
Dụnye ụdọ ọlaedo abụọ ndị ahụ nʼelu mgbaaka ndị ahụ dị na nkuku ihe mgbochi obi ahụ,
25 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.
were isi ndị ọzọ nke ụdọ ahụ dụnye nʼihe ahụ a kpara akpa, konye ha nʼelu ubu efọọd ahụ, nʼebe ihu ya.
26 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.
Ị ga-emekwa mgbaaka ọlaedo, konye ha na nkuku abụọ nke ihe mgbochi obi ahụ, nʼime ọnụ ọnụ ya ebe dị nso efọọd ahụ.
27 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:
Ị ga-akpụ mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ ọzọ, konye ha nʼelu ubu abụọ nke efọọd ahụ, nʼokpuru nʼebe nʼihu ya, na nso nso ebe a dụkọtara ya, nʼelu ihe okike ukwu nke efọọd ahụ.
28 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.
A ga-eji eriri na-acha anụnụ kekọta mgbaaka ihe mgbochi obi ahụ na mgbaaka efọọd ahụ, jikọtaa ya na ihe okike ukwu ahụ, ime ka ihe mgbochi obi ahụ ghara ịtọghapụ site nʼefọọd ahụ.
29 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.
“Nʼụzọ dị otu a, mgbe ọbụla Erọn banyere nʼEbe Nsọ, ọ ga-ebu aha ụmụ ndị ikom Izrel niile nʼelu obi ya, nʼelu ihe mgbochi obi nke ikpe ahụ, dịka ihe ncheta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị mgbe niile.
30 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.
Ị ga-etinyekwa nʼime ihe mgbochi obi ahụ ụmụ nkume abụọ e ji ajụta ase nke bụ Urim na Tumim. Ha ga-adị nʼelu obi Erọn mgbe ọbụla ọ gara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Otu a kwa, Erọn ga-ebukwa ihe e ji ajụta ase banyere ndị Izrel nʼelu obi ya mgbe niile, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
31 The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;
“Ọ bụ akwa nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, ka ị ga-eji dụọ uwe mwụda efọọd ahụ.
32 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.
Ọ ga-enwe oghere nʼetiti ya ebe a ga-esi na-etinye isi. A ga-enwe ihe ọkpụkpa gburugburu oghere a dịka nke olu uwe agha, ime ka o sie ike, ghara ịdọka.
33 And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;
Nʼọnụ ala ala uwe ahụ gburugburu, ị ga-akpanye ihe ọkpụkpa oyiyi mkpụrụ pomegranet. Ọ bụ ogho nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie na uhie uhie ka ị ga-eji. Ị ga-akpanyekwa ataṅụ ọlaedo nʼetiti ha.
34 A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.
Nʼọnụ ọnụ ala uwe mwụda ahụ, a ga-adụnye otu ataṅụ ọlaedo, otu oyiyi mkpụrụ pomegranet, gbaa gburugburu.
35 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.
Mgbe ọbụla Erọn na-eje ozi ya, ọ ghaghị iyi ya. Aga na anụ mgbịrịgba ataṅụ ahụ ka ọ na-akụ, mgbe ọ banyere nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, na mgbe o si nʼebe ahụ na-apụta, ka ọ ghara ịnwụ.
36 You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.
“Ị ga-ejikwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee efere ntakịrị, gbunye akara dị otu a nʼelu ya: Ihe nsọ dịrị Onyenwe anyị.
37 Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:
Kenye eriri na-acha anụnụ anụnụ i ji jikọta ya na ihe ike nʼisi ahụ; ọ ga-adị nʼihu akwa ike nʼisi ahụ.
38 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.
Ọ ga-adị nʼegedege ihu Erọn. Ọ ga-ebukwa ikpe ọmụma metụtara njehie gbasara ihe nsọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel doro nsọ, na onyinye ha niile. Ọ ga-adị nʼegedege ihu Erọn mgbe niile, ka ha bụrụ ndị Onyenwe anyị ga-anabata.
39 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.
“Jiri ezi akwa ọcha kpaa uwe ime ahụ. Werekwa ezi akwa ọcha mee akwa ike nʼisi ahụ. Ihe ike nʼukwu ahụ ga-abụ ọrụ aka onye ǹka na-akpanye ihe ịchọ mma.
40 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.
Meekwara ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn uwe ime ahụ, ihe ike nʼukwu na akwa ike nʼisi, inye ha ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
41 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.
Mgbe i yinyekwasịrị Erọn nwanne gị na ụmụ ya ndị ikom uwe ndị a, tee ha mmanụ, doo ha nsọ. Chee ha nʼihu m ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ejere m ozi dịka ndị nchụaja.
42 And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee;
“Meekwara ha uwe ụkwụ nke eji akwa ọcha mee, maka ikpuchi anụ ahụ ha. Ọ ga-esite nʼukwu ruo nʼikpere.
43 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.
Erọn na ụmụ ya ndị ikom aghaghị iyi ha mgbe niile ha ga-aba nʼime ụlọ nzute, maọbụ mgbe ha na-abịa nso ebe ịchụ aja ije ozi nʼEbe Nsọ. Ka ha ghara imeta ihe ikpe ọmụma, ma nwụọ. “Nke a ga-abụ iwu na ụkpụrụ ebighị ebi, nke ga-adịrị Erọn na ụmụ ụmụ ya.
