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.
“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 you shall make a holy vestment for Aaron, your brother, with glory and elegance.
Meere Erọn nwanne gị nwoke uwe nsọ, nke ga-enye ya ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
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.
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 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.
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 And they shall receive gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine 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 Then they shall make the ephod of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with diverse colors.
“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 shall have two edges joined at the top on both sides, so that they may respond as one.
Ọ ga-enwe akwa nʼubu ya abụọ nke e ji ejikọta ọnụ nkuku ya abụọ, ka e nwe ike na-ekechisi ya ike.
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.
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 And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
“Were nkume ọniks abụọ, gbunye aha ụmụ ndị nwoke Izrel nʼelu ya,
10 six names on one stone, and the remaining six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
nʼusoro dịka e si mụọ ha, isii nʼelu otu nkume, isii fọdụrụ na nkume nke ọzọ.
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.
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 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.
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 You shall also make hooks of gold,
Ị ga-eji ọlaedo mee ihe ịchọ mma a tụrụ atụ.
14 and two little chains of the purest gold, linked to one another, which you shall insert into the hooks.
Jirikwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ eriri a tụhịkọtara dịka ụdọ, jikọta eriri ọlaedo ahụ na ihe ịchọ mma ndị ahụ.
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.
“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 shall have four corners and be doubled. It shall have the measure of the palm of a hand, both in length and in width.
Akụkụ anọ ya ga-aha nʼotu, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼogologo, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼobosara, nke apịajiri ụzọ abụọ.
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.
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 In the second, there shall be a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper.
nʼahịrị nke abụọ, ga-abụ nkume tọkwọisi, safaia na emeralụdụ.
19 In the third, there shall be a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst.
Nʼahịrị nke atọ ga-abụ nkume jasint, ageeti na ametisiti.
20 In the fourth, there shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
Nʼahịrị nke anọ, ga-abụ nkume topaazi, ọniks na jaspa. Hịọnye ha nʼime ihe ọlaedo a kpara akpa.
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.
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 You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,
“Jiri ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee eriri a kpara akpa dịka ụdọ, maka ihe mgbochi obi.
23 and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.
Kpụkwaa mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ, dụnye ha na nkuku abụọ nke ihe mgbochi obi ahụ.
24 And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.
Dụnye ụdọ ọlaedo abụọ ndị ahụ nʼelu mgbaaka ndị ahụ dị na nkuku ihe mgbochi obi ahụ,
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.
were isi ndị ọzọ nke ụdọ ahụ dụnye nʼihe ahụ a kpara akpa, konye ha nʼelu ubu efọọd ahụ, nʼebe ihu ya.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 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.
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 And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,
“Ọ bụ akwa nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, ka ị ga-eji dụọ uwe mwụda efọọd ahụ.
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.
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 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.
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 So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
Nʼọnụ ọnụ ala uwe mwụda ahụ, a ga-adụnye otu ataṅụ ọlaedo, otu oyiyi mkpụrụ pomegranet, gbaa gburugburu.
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.
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 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.’
“Ị ga-ejikwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee efere ntakịrị, gbunye akara dị otu a nʼelu ya: Ihe nsọ dịrị Onyenwe anyị.
37 And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,
Kenye eriri na-acha anụnụ anụnụ i ji jikọta ya na ihe ike nʼisi ahụ; ọ ga-adị nʼihu akwa ike nʼisi ahụ.
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.
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 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.
“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 Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.
Meekwara ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn uwe ime ahụ, ihe ike nʼukwu na akwa ike nʼisi, inye ha ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
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.
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 You shall also make linen undergarments, in order to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the kidneys all the way to the thighs.
“Meekwara ha uwe ụkwụ nke eji akwa ọcha mee, maka ikpuchi anụ ahụ ha. Ọ ga-esite nʼukwu ruo nʼikpere.
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.”
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.
