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.
W'a pran Arawon ak pitit li yo: Nadab, Abiyou, Eleaza, Itama, w'a wete yo nan mitan moun Izrayèl yo, w'a fè yo vin jwenn ou. W'a mete yo apa pou yo sèvi m' prèt.
2 And you shall make a holy vestment for Aaron, your brother, with glory and elegance.
W'a fè rad pou Arawon, frè ou la, rad pou li mete lè l'ap fè sèvis, pou l' ka byen abiye, pou moun ka rekonèt grad li.
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.
W'a pale ak atizan ki konnen metye yo byen. Se mwen menm ki ba yo tout ladrès yo genyen an. W'a mande yo pou yo fè rad Arawon yo, pou ou ka mete l' apa pou mwen pou l' ka sèvi m' prèt.
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.
Men ki rad pou yo fè: yon plastwon, yon jile, yon gwo rad long, yon chemiz byen bwode, yon gwo mouchwa pou vlope tèt ak yon sentiwon. y'a fè rad sa yo pou Arawon, frè ou la, ak pou pitit li yo pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt.
5 And they shall receive gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen.
Pou fè travay la, atizan yo va sèvi ak lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen.
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.
y'a fè jile a ak lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere. y'a fè bèl bodri byen fèt sou li.
7 It shall have two edges joined at the top on both sides, so that they may respond as one.
Va gen de zèpòlèt, yonn chak bò jile a. Se yo ki pou tache moso devan an ak moso dèyè a ansanm.
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.
Bèl sentiwon byen bwode ki pou kenbe jile a va fè yon sèl pyès ak li, ak menm kalite bodri a sou li tou. y'a fè l' an lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj, ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere.
9 And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
W'a pran de pyè oniks, w'a grave non branch fanmi douz pitit Izrayèl yo sou yo.
10 six names on one stone, and the remaining six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
W'a grave non sis sou yon pyè, ak non sis sou lòt la, dapre laj yo, depi pi gran an jouk pi piti a.
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.
Avèk ladrès òfèv ki konn grave non sou bag, ou ankò ladrès atizan ki konn fè so, w'a grave non branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo sou de pyè yo, epi w'a moute pyè yo chak sou yon moso lò.
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.
W'a moute yo sou de zèpòlèt jile a pou yo pa bliye branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo. Konsa, Arawon va pote non yo sou zepòl li pou Seyè a pa janm bliye yo.
13 You shall also make hooks of gold,
W'a pran de moso lò pou moute pyè yo sou yo.
14 and two little chains of the purest gold, linked to one another, which you shall insert into the hooks.
W'a fè de ti chenn ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen. Chenn yo va trese tankou ti kòdon. W'a tache yo sou moso lò yo.
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.
W'a fè yon plastwon pou yo mete bagay y'a sèvi pou chache konnen sa Bondye vle. Se yon bon atis ki pou fè travay bodri a tankou pou jile a. W'a fè l' an lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere.
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.
Plastwon an va mezire nèf pous kare kare, l'a double.
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.
W'a moute kat ranje pyè sou li. Nan premye ranje a, va gen yon pyè woubi, yon pyè topaz ak yon pyè emwòd.
18 In the second, there shall be a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper.
Nan dezyèm ranje a, va gen yon pyè malachi, yon pyè safi ak yon pyè dyaman.
19 In the third, there shall be a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst.
Nan twazyèm ranje a, va gen yon pyè opal, yon pyè agat ak yon pyè ametis.
20 In the fourth, there shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
Nan katriyèm ranje a, va gen yon pyè krizolit, yon pyè oniks ak yon pyè jasp. y'a moute tout pyè sa yo chak sou yon moso lò.
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.
Va gen douz pyè ak non branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo grave sou yo, yon non sou chak pyè. y'a grave non yo tankou lè òfèv ap grave bag.
22 You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,
W'a pran pi bon kalite lò ki genyen, w'a fè de ti chenn pou plastwon an. W'a trese yo tankou ti kòdon.
23 and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.
W'a fè de ti bag an lò, w'a tache yo nan de bout anwo plastwon an.
24 And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.
W'a mare de ti chenn yo nan de bag yo.
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.
W'a pran de lòt bout chenn yo, w'a fè yo pase pa devan jile a, w'a tache yo sou de moso lò ki sou zèpòlèt jile a.
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.
W'a fè ankò de lòt bag an lò, w'a tache yo nan de bout anba plastwon an sou lanvè, nan bòdi a toupre jile a.
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.
W'a fè de lòt bag an lò ankò, w'a tache yo anba zèpòlèt jile a pa devan, toupre kouti a anwo tèt sentiwon bwode a.
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.
y'a mare de bag plastwon an ak de bag jile a ansanm ak yon kòdon ble pou plastwon an bat sou sentiwon jile a. Konsa, plastwon an p'ap ka soti detache sou jile a.
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.
Lè Arawon va antre nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a, l'a pote non branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo sou kè l', sou plastwon an, konsa Seyè a p'ap janm bliye yo.
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.
W'a mete nan plastwon an ourim yo ak toumim yo. Konsa, Arawon va pote yo sou kè l' lè l'ap parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a. Lè l'a kanpe devan lòtèl Seyè a, l'a toujou pote sou kè l' sa li sèvi pou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen volonte m'.
31 And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,
W'a pran twal ble pou fè rad ki ale anba jile a.
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.
Nan mitan rad la, w'a fè yon twou pou l' pase tèt li. W'a mete yon doubli nan ankoli a, tankou yo fè l' pou varèz an po bèt yo, pou li pa chire.
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.
Sou tout woulèt anba rad la, w'a pran twal ble, violèt ak wouj, w'a fè bodri an fòm grenad ak ti klòch an lò nan mitan yo.
34 So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
Sou tout woulèt rad la va gen yon grenad, yon ti klòch, yon grenad, yon ti klòch, jouk yo fè tout tou rad la.
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.
Se rad sa a Arawon va mete sou li lè li pral fè sèvis. Lè l'ap antre kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a pou l' parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a, ansanm ak lè l'ap soti, y'a tande ti klòch yo ap sonnen. Konsa li p'ap mouri.
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.’
W'a fè fè yon ti plak ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen. Tankou lè y'ap fè so, w'a grave pawòl sa a sou li: Apa pou Seyè a.
37 And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,
W'a mare l' sou devan mouchwa tèt la avèk yon ti kòdon ble.
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.
Arawon va mete l' sou fwon li, konsa Arawon va pran sou tèt li tou sa pèp Izrayèl la va fè ki mal lè y'ap pote ofrann apa yo bay Seyè a. Arawon va toujou pote l' sou fwon li pou ofrann yo ka toujou fè Seyè a plezi.
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.
W'a fè chemiz la ak mouchwa tèt la ak twal fen blan, ansanm ak yon sentiwon bwode byen bèl.
40 Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.
W'a fè rad, sentiwon ak bonnèt pou pitit gason Arawon yo tou, pou yo ka byen abiye pou moun ka rekonèt grad yo.
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.
Apre sa, w'a mete rad yo sou Arawon, frè ou la, ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo. Lèfini, w'a vide lwil sou tèt yo, w'a ba yo pouvwa pou yo fè sèvis Bondye. W'a mete yo apa pou mwen pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt.
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.
W'a fè kalson ak twal fen pou yo pou kò yo pa parèt anba rad la. Kalson yo va pran depi nan ren desann wotè jenou yo.
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.”
Se pou Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo toujou pote kalson yo lè y'ap antre nan Tant Randevou a, osinon lè y'ap pwoche bò lòtèl la pou fè sèvis nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Konsa, yo p'ap fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap mouri. Sa se yon lwa k'ap la pou tout tan pou Arawon ak tout pitit pitit gason li yo apre li.
