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.
“Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmammarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar na te wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ nsom me.
2 And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.
Pam atadeɛ kronkron ma wo nua Aaron na ama animuonyam aba nʼadwuma no ho. Pam atadeɛ no na ɛnyɛ fɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma afata nʼadwuma no.
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.
Ka kyerɛ nnipa a mama wɔn adepam ho nyansa na wɔmpam atadeɛ no. Ɛno na ɛbɛma ne ho ada nso wɔ nʼafɛfoɔ mu na ama watumi asom me.
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.
Ntadeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔbɛpam no nie: adaaboɔ asɔfotadeɛ, asɔfotadeɛ, atadeɛ yuu, atadeɛ kɔnsini a ɛyɛ damedame, abɔtiten ne abɔwomu. Wɔbɛpam ntadeɛ kronkron bi nso de ama Aaron mmammarima no.
5 They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,
Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwono na ɛbɛpam.
6 And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.
“Ma ntomanwono mu adwumfoɔ papa mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne bibire ne asaawa a ɛberedum ne koogyan ne asaawa fitaa a wɔafira nyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no.
7 It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.
Wɔbɛpam no asinasini mmienu a ɛyɛ animu ne akyire a wɔapam ne mmatire no so abɔ mu.
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.
Abɔwomu no bɛyɛ ntoma korɔ no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ nsaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan.
9 You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:
“Fa apopobibirieboɔ mmienu na twerɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no din gu so.
10 Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.
Aboɔdenboɔ biara, wɔntwerɛ edin nsia ngu so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bɛdidi so mpanin mu.
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.
Fa ɛkwan a aboɔdenboɔtwafoɔ si fa twa edin gu adwinneɛ so, na twerɛ edin ahodoɔ no sɛdeɛ Israel mma no din te, na fa sika ntotoano twa ho hyia.
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.
Fa aboɔdemmoɔ mmienu no sisi asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so na ɛnyɛ nkaedeɛ mma Israelfoɔ. Na daa Aaron nso nam so akae, abɔ wɔn din akyerɛ Awurade.
13 And you are to make twisted frames of gold;
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim mmienu.
14 And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.
Na fa mmobareeɛ mmienu a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare mfomfamho a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so no mu.
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.
“Momma odwumfoɔ a nʼadwinnie yɛ fɛ na ɔnyɛ atemmuo adaaboɔ no. Momfa asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na mompam adaaboɔ no sɛdeɛ mode pam asɔfotadeɛ no.
16 It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.
Montwa ntomasini no ahinanan na ɛfa biara nyɛ nsateakwaa nkron na mompam mfam so mma ɛnyɛ sɛ kotokuo.
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;
Momfa aboɔdemmoɔ nsasoɔ ɛnan mmobɔ mu. Nsasoɔ a ɛdi ɛkan no nyɛ bogyanamboɔ, deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ akarateboɔ na deɛ ɛtwa toɔ no nyɛ ɛboɔ a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ.
18 The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ nsrammaboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ ne dɛnkyɛmmoɔ.
19 The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonoboɔ, mfrafraeɛboɔ ne beredumboɔ.
20 The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so nan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛboɔ, apopobibirieboɔ ne ahwehwɛboɔ. Sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
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.
Aboɔdemmoɔ no baako biara bɛgyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuo no baako. Na wɔbɛtwerɛ abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔanodeɛ.
22 And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.
“Ɛkwan a mobɛfa so de adaaboɔ no afam asɔfotadeɛ no mu nie: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ,
23 And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.
na yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu, na fa tare adaaboɔ no apampam twɛtwɛwa so;
24 Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;
wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ mmienu no bɛhyehyɛ adaaboɔ no nkawa mmienu no mu.
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.
Nhoma mmienu no a aka no, kyekyere biara ti bɔ sikakɔkɔɔ no a ɛbɔ asɔfotadeɛ no abatiri so no mu.
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.
Yɛ sika nkawa mmienu na fa hyehyɛ adaaboɔ ntwea mmienu a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no nkyɛn mu.
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:
Sane yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu hyehyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka abɔwomu no.
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.
Fa bibire nhoma kyekyere adaaboɔ no ase na fa hyehyɛ nkawa a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no ase no mu. Yei remma adaaboɔ no mfiri asɔfotadeɛ no ho nte ntwontwɔn.
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.
“Aaron bɛfa saa ɛkwan yi so na ɔde Israel mmusuakuo no din a ɛwɔ adaaboɔ no so no bɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ; na yei na ɛbɛma Awurade akae Israelman ɛberɛ nyinaa mu.
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.
Sɛ Aaron rekɔ Awurade anim a, ɔmfa Urim ne Tumim a aseɛ ne hann ne pɛyɛ nhyɛ adaaboɔ a ɛda ne koko so no kotokuo mu. Saa ara na daa Aaron bɛsoa nneɛma a wɔnam so kyerɛ Awurade apɛdeɛ de ma ne nkurɔfoɔ ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛkɔ Awurade anim no.
31 The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;
“Wɔde ntoma tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotadeɛ no
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.
a wɔagya ɛkwan bi a Aaron de ne tiri bɛwura mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa mfimfini tokuro ma ano no yɛ den sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛ a ɛrentete.
33 And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;
Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
34 A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nnɔmma ne ateaa aba a ɛdi afrafra twa asɔfotadeɛ no mmuano ho hyia.
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.
Ɛberɛ biara a Aaron bɛkɔ Awurade anim akɔsɔre no, saa asɔfotadeɛ yi na ɔbɛhyɛ. Ɔredi akɔneaba wɔ Awurade anim hɔ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, na ɛdɔn no rewoso sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenwu.
36 You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.
“Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ma ɛnyɛ trawa sɛ prɛte na twerɛ so sɛdeɛ wɔkurukyire nsɔanodeɛ so no sɛ: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
37 Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:
Wɔde ntoma tuntum bɛsɔ mu asensɛn Aaron abotire no anim.
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.
Aaron de saa adeɛ no bɛbɔ ne moma so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ Israelfoɔ no bɔ afɔdeɛ biara na mfomsoɔ ba ho a, ɛho asodie bɛda ne so, na Awurade agye nnipa no, na ɔde wɔn bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
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.
“Fa asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ nwono Aaron atadeɛ kɔnsini no. Ma ɛnyɛ damedame na fa ntoma korɔ no ara bi pam abotire na nwono biribi gu ne nkatakɔnmu no nso mu.
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.
Pam atadeɛ yuu ne abɔwomu ne abotire ma Aaron mmammarima na momfa obuo ne anidie mma wɔn.
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.
Saa ntadeɛ yi na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima na momfa ngo ngu wɔn tirim mfa nhyɛ wɔn asɔfoɔ wɔ ɔsom no mu, na momfa nte wɔn ho sɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ me dea.
42 And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee;
“Mompam serekye ntadeɛ a ɛfiri wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ no agu so.
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.
Ɛberɛ biara a Aaron ne ne mmammarima no rekɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ anaasɛ wɔrekɔ afɔrebukyia no anim wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔnhyɛ. Anyɛ saa a, afɔbuo bɛba wɔn so ma wɔawuwu. “Yei yɛ daa apam a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmammarima.
