Exodus 28
1 “Also, join to yourself your brother Aaron, with his sons from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me: Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Namah loh Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah na maya Aaron neh a taengkah anih ca rhoek te namah taengah khueh laeh. Aaron amah neh Aaron ca rhoek Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar tah kamah taengah khosoih saeh.
2 And you shall make a holy vestment for Aaron, your brother, with glory and elegance.
Na maya Aaron ham himbai cim te thangpomnah neh boeimangnah la khueh pah.
3 And you shall speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of prudence, so that they may make the vestments of Aaron, in which, having been sanctified, he may minister to me.
Namah loh cueihnah mueihla ka cung sak tih lungbuei kah aka cueih boeih te thui pah. Te vaengah kai taengkah khosoih la aka ciim uh Aaron kah himbai te hui uh saeh.
4 Now these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A breastplate and an ephod, a tunic and a close-fit linen garment, a headdress and a wide belt. They shall make the holy vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
Te himbai dongah rhangpho neh hnisui, hnikul neh kutthun angkidung, lupong neh lamko te saii uh saeh. Te vaengah kai taengah aka khosoih ham na manuca Aaron ham neh anih koca rhoek ham himbai cim saii uh.
5 And they shall receive gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen.
Amih loh sui neh a thim neh, daidi neh hlampai a lingdik neh hnitang khaw doe uh saeh.
6 Then they shall make the ephod of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with diverse colors.
Hnisui te sui, a thim neh daidi, hlampai a lingdik neh kutci la a moeh tih a tah hnitang neh saii uh saeh.
7 It shall have two edges joined at the top on both sides, so that they may respond as one.
Te dongkah a hmoi rhoi ah aka om te holhnam rhoi ah hlin saeh lamtah phaai uh saeh.
8 Likewise, the weaving and all the detail work shall be of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
A pholip dongah cihin khaw a kutngo bangla amah dongah om saeh lamtah sui, a thim, daidi, hlampai a lingdik neh hnitang la tak saeh.
9 And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
Te phoeiah oitha lung panit te lo lamtah a soah Israel ca ming tarhit pah.
10 six names on one stone, and the remaining six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
A ming parhuk te lungto pakhat dongah ming parhuk vetih aka coih te lungto pabae dongah amamih kah rhuirhong bangla tarhit pah.
11 By the work of a sculptor and the skill of a jeweler, you shall engrave them with the names of the sons of Israel, enclosed and encompassed with gold.
Kutthai kutnaep, thingthuk lung kah kutbuen bangla lungto rhoi te tarhit. Te te Israel ca ming neh vael lamtah sui oibom dongah hol.
12 And you shall place them on both sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord, upon both shoulders, as a remembrance.
Lungto rhoi te hnisui dongkah holhnam dongla Israel ca rhoek kah poekkoepnah lungto la hulh pah. Te vaengah Aaron loh amih ming te BOEIPA mikhmuh kah poekkoepnah la a laengpang rhoi ah vah saeh.
13 You shall also make hooks of gold,
Te phoeiah sui oibom saii.
14 and two little chains of the purest gold, linked to one another, which you shall insert into the hooks.
Sui cilh neh cangtui-rhaica te rhuinit hulh lamtah te te kutci neh rhuivaeh la khueh. Te phoeiah rhuivaeh cangtui-rhaica te oibom dongah khit.
15 Likewise, you shall make the breastplate of judgment, wrought with diverse colors according to the weaving of the ephod: of gold, hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
Hnisui dongkah kutngo bangla laitloeknah rhangpho na saii khaw bibi la moeh. Te te sui neh hlampai, thim, daidi, a lingdik neh saii. Te phoeiah hnitang a tah neh te te saii thil.
16 It shall have four corners and be doubled. It shall have the measure of the palm of a hand, both in length and in width.
Te te yaep lamtah a yun khap at neh a daang khap at ah hniboeng la om saeh.
17 And you shall set within it four rows of stones. In the first row, there shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald.
Te soah lungto hulhnah te a than pali la dueh. Than cuek te lungling, vaya neh tamkuei he lungto than at vetih,
18 In the second, there shall be a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper.
A than bae dongah khocillung, minhum neh lungmik.
19 In the third, there shall be a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst.
A than thum dongah oithii, khopang lung neh kemden,
20 In the fourth, there shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
A than li dongah timsuih, oitha neh maihae te sui cueh thil lamtah a hulhnah neh om saeh.
21 And these shall have the names of the sons of Israel. With twelve names shall they be engraved: each stone with one name from the twelve tribes.
Lungto rhoek khaw Israel ca hlai nit ming la sum uh saeh. Kutbuen thingthuk dongkah a ming bangla hlang boeih he koca hlai nit dongah amah ming neh om uh saeh.
22 You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,
Rhangpho soah cangtui-rhaica cuehnah te sui cilh rhuivaeh neh kutnaep la saii.
23 and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.
Rhangpho dongkah sui kutcaeng panit saii lamtah rhangpho kah a hmoi rhoi ah kutcaeng nit la buen.
24 And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.
Sui rhuivaeh rhoi te rhangpho hmoi kah kutcaeng rhoi dongla khih pah.
25 And the ends of the chains themselves, you shall couple with two hooks, on both sides of the ephod, which looks toward the breastplate.
Te phoeiah rhuivaeh rhoi kah a hmoi rhoi te oibom rhoi dongla hlin lamtah a maelhmai hmai a hnisui dongah holhnam dongla khih pah.
26 You shall also make two rings of gold, which you shall place at the ends of the breastplate, at the borders which are away from the region of the ephod and which look toward its back.
Te phoeiah sui kutcaeng panit saii lamtah te te rhangpho kah a hmoi rhoi la khit. A hmuidong te hnisui saa dongah a khui la det.
27 And then you shall also make two other rings of gold, which are to be suspended on both sides at the bottom of the ephod, which looks out opposite the face of the lower juncture, so that the breastplate can be fitted to the ephod.
Te phoeiah sui kutcaeng panit saii lamtah te te a hmai kah a dang, hnisui cihin sokah a rhui voeivang ah hnisui dongkah holhnam rhoi dongla khih pah.
28 And it shall be drawn tight to the rings of the breastplate, by the rings of the ephod, with a hyacinth band, so that the well-constructed juncture will remain in place, and the breastplate and the ephod will not be able to be separated from one another.
Rhangpho kah a kutcaeng lamloh hnisui kah kutcaeng duela a kutcaeng te pin saeh lamtah hnisui kah cihin duela hamnak thim neh om saeh. Te daengah ni hnisui dong lamkah rhangpho te khaw a hawl pawt eh.
29 And Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment upon his chest, when he enters into the Sanctuary, as a memorial in the presence of the Lord in eternity.
Te dongah Aaron Israel ca ming te a lungbuei dongkah laitloeknah rhangpho dongah vah saeh lamtah hmuencim la a kun vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah poekkoepnah la om yoeyah saeh.
30 Then you shall place in the breastplate of judgment, Doctrine and Truth, which shall then be upon Aaron’s chest, when he enters before the Lord. And he shall wear the judgment of the sons of Israel on his chest, in the sight of the Lord always.
Laitloeknah rhangpho khuiah Urim neh Thummim khueh pah lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh la a kun vaengah Aaron kah lungbuei ah om. Te vaengah Aaron loh Israel ca kah laitloeknah te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a lungbuei ah phuei yoeyah saeh.
31 And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,
Hnisui hnikul te a thim la boeih saii.
32 and the head will be above its middle, with a hem woven around it, just as is usually made at the end parts of a garment, so that it may not be easily broken.
A hmoi a laklung ah a lu ham a rhai om saeh. A rhai kaepvai te rhawnmoep rhai a om bangla kutnaep la a yen neh om saeh. Te daengah ni a pawn pawt eh.
33 Yet truly, beneath it, at the base of the same tunic, all around, you shall make something like pomegranates, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with little bells set in their midst.
A hnihmoi ah tale a thim, daidi neh hlampai a lingdik neh saii. A hmoi kaepvai te a laklo ah sui hling neh pin thalh saeh.
34 So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
Hnikul kah hnihmoi dongah sui hling neh tale thaih, sui hling neh tale thaih pin bang pah.
35 And Aaron will be vested with it during the office of his ministry, so that the sound may be heard when he enters and exits the Sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and so that he may not die.
Aaron soah thohtat ham om tih BOEIPA mikhmuh kah hmuencim la a kun vaengah a ol pa saeh. Te daengah ni a vuenva vaengah a duek pawt eh.
36 And you shall make a plate of the purest gold, in which you shall engrave, with the skill of a sculptor, ‘Holy to the Lord.’
Te phoeiah sui cilh tamlaep te saii lamtah a sokah kutbuen thingthuk te, “BOEIPA ham Cim,” tila thuk pah.
37 And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,
Te te hamrhui thim dongah khih pah lamtah lupong dongah om saeh. Lupong hmai ah ah om saeh.
38 hanging in front of the high priest. And Aaron shall carry the iniquities of that which the sons of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and donations. But the plate will always be at his forehead, so that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
Te vaengah Aaron tal ah om vetih cimcaihnah dongah a ciim Israel ca rhoek kathaesainah te amih kah cimcaihnah kutdoe boeih te Aaron loh phuei saeh. Te daengah ni amih ham khaw a tal dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah kolonah la phat a om eh.
39 And you shall draw the tunic tight with fine linen, and you shall make a headdress of fine linen, and a wide belt, wrought with embroidery.
Hnitang angkidung te cueh lamtah hnitang lupong khaw saii. Te phoeiah lamko saii lamtah kutnaep la en.
40 Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.
Aaron koca rhoek ham khaw angkidung khueh pah lamtah amih ham lamko saii pah. Samkhuem khaw amih thangpomnah ham neh boeimangnah ham saii pah.
41 And with all these you shall vest your brother Aaron, and his sons with him. And you shall consecrate all their hands, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
Te te na maya Aaron neh a taengkah anih koca rhoek te bai sak lamtah amih te koelh. Amih kut te cung sak lamtah amih te ciim. Te phoeiah kai taengla khosoih uh saeh.
42 You shall also make linen undergarments, in order to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the kidneys all the way to the thighs.
Amih ham a yah saa aka dah la takhlawk hnii saii pah lamtah a chinghen lamloh a phai duela dah saeh.
43 And Aaron and his sons will use them when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach toward the altar, in order to minister in the sanctuary, lest, being guilty of iniquity, they may die. It shall be a law forever for Aaron, and for his offspring after him.”
Aaron neh anih koca loh tingtunnah dap khuila a kun uh vaengah khaw, hmuencim ah thohtat ham hmueihtuk la a mop uh vaengah puei uh saeh. Te daengah ni thaesainah a phueih vaengah a duek uh pawt eh. He he anih ham neh anih phoeikah a tiingan ham kumhal kah khosing coeng ni.
