Exodus 28

1 And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest — Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

你應從以色列子民中叫你的哥哥亞郎同他的兒子們，即亞郎和他的兒子，納達布、阿彼胡、厄肋阿匝爾和衣塔瑪爾，一起來到你前，立他們作我的司祭。

2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.

應給你的哥哥亞郎做聖衣，以示莊嚴美觀。

3 And thou shalt speak with all [that are] wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.

凡我使之具備藝術天才的藝術人員，你應吩咐他們為亞郎做服裝，祝聖他作我的司祭。

4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.

他們應做的服裝如下：胸牌、厄弗得、無袖長袍、織成的長衣、禮冠和腰帶。他們為你的哥哥亞郎和他的兒子們做、這些聖衣，叫他們做我的司祭。

5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,

他們應用金線，紫色、紅色、朱紅色的毛線和細麻去做。厄弗得的式樣

6 and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.

他們應用鏽工以金線，紫色、紅色、朱紅色的毛線，和捻的細麻做厄弗得。

7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.

兩條肩帶應結連在厄弗得的兩端。

8 And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus.

將厄弗得束在身上用的帶子，也應像厄弗得一樣的做法，與厄弗得連在一起，全是用金線、紫色、朱紅色的毛線和捻的細麻做成。

9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

再取兩塊紅瑪瑙石，將以色列的兒子的名字刻在上面，

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

六個名字刻在一塊寶石上，另六個名字刻在另一塊寶石上，全照他們出生的次序。

11 According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.

以玉工雕刻法，好似刻印章，把以色列的兒子們的名字刻在這兩塊寶石上，崁在金框內。

12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

再將這兩塊寶石，即以色列子民的紀念石，掛在厄弗得的肩帶上；亞郎要在上主前常在兩肩上帶著他們的名字，好獲得紀念。

13 And thou shalt make enclosures of gold;

要做兩個金框，

14 and two chains of pure gold; of laced work shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and fasten the wreathen chains to the enclosures.

兩條純金的鏈子，要像做繩子一樣擰成，把這像繩子的金鏈結在框子上。胸牌的式樣

15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment of artistic work, like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus shalt thou make it.

應以繡工做判斷的胸牌，像做厄弗得，用金線，紫色、紅色、朱紅色的毛線和捻的細麻去做。

16 Square shall it be, doubled; a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.

胸牌要方形，雙層，一作長，一作寬。

17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones — four rows of stones: [one] row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald — the first row;

將鑲嵌的寶石安裝在上面，排成四行：第一行：赤玉、青玉、翡翠：

18 and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;

第二行：紫寶石、藍玉、金鋼石；

19 and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

第三行：黃瑪瑙、白瑪瑙、紫晶；

20 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; enclosed in gold shall they be in their settings.

第四行：黃玉、紅瑪瑙、水蒼玉；這些寶石都崁在金框內。

21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal: every one according to his name shall they be for the twelve tribes.

按照以色列的兒子的名字，寶石應有十二塊，按刻印法，每塊刻一個名字，代表十二支派。

22 And thou shalt make on the breastplate chains of laced work, of wreathen work, of pure gold.

為胸牌再做兩條純金鏈子，像繩子一要擰成。

23 And thou shalt make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

在胸牌上做兩個金環，將兩個金環安在胸牌的兩端，

24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;

將那兩條金鏈結在胸牌兩端的環子上，

25 and the two ends of the two wreathen [cords] thou shalt fasten to the two enclosures, and shalt put [them] on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.

把兩條鏈子的另兩端，結在那掛在厄弗得的肩帶前面的兩個框子上。

26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.

再做兩個金環，安在胸牌的下兩端，靠近厄弗得的內邊緣上。

27 And two rings of gold shalt thou make, and shalt put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod.

再做兩個金環，安在厄弗得前面兩肩帶的下邊，靠近厄弗得帶子的上邊與肩帶相連結的地方。

28 And they shall bind the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

用一根紫繩把胸牌的環子繫在厄弗得的環子上，使胸牌結在厄弗得的帶子上，免得胸牌在厄弗得上移動。

29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

如此亞郎進聖所時，在他的胸前，在判斷的胸牌上帶著以色列兒子們的名字，為在上主前常獲得紀念。

30 And thou shalt put into the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, that they may be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before Jehovah; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.

在決斷的胸牌內應放上烏陵和突明，幾時亞郎進到上主前常帶在亞郎胸前：如此亞郎在上主前時，胸前常帶著為以色列子民行決斷的工具。長袍的式樣

31 And thou shalt make the cloak of the ephod all of blue.

再為厄弗得做一無袖長袍，應全是紫色毛線的。

32 And its opening for the head shall be in the midst thereof; there shall be a binding of woven work at its opening round about; as the opening of a coat of mail, it shall be in it — it shall not rend.

中間留一領口，領口周圍叫織工做上邊，像戰袍的領口，免得破裂。

33 And on the skirts thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:

在長袍底邊周圍做上紫色、紅色、珠紅色的毛線石榴；在石榴中間，周圍再做上金鈴鐺：

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about.

如此在長袍底邊周圍，一個金鈴鐺，一個石榴；一個金鈴鐺，一個石榴。

35 And it shall be on Aaron for service; that his sound may be heard when he goeth into the sanctuary before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.

當亞郎穿著行禮時，能聽見他進聖所到上主前，或者出來的聲音，免得他死亡。禮冠的式樣

36 And thou shalt make a thin plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, as the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!

應用純金製一個牌子，在上面像刻印章刻上「祝聖於上主。」

37 And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the turban — upon the front of the turban shall it be.

用紫繩子將牌子繫在禮冠上，即繫在禮冠的前面。

38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all gifts of their holy things; and it shall be continually on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

那牌常在亞郎的額上，好叫亞郎擔當以色列子民祝聖各種聖物時，干犯聖物的罪過；那牌常在亞郎的額上，為使人民在上主前獲得悅納。

39 And thou shalt weave the vest of byssus; and thou shalt make a turban of byssus; and thou shalt make a girdle of embroidery.

應用細麻編製長衣，並用細麻做禮冠；腰帶應是編成的。司祭的禮服

40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make vests; and thou shalt make for them girdles; and high caps shalt thou make for them, for glory and for ornament.

也要為亞郎的兒子們做長衣、腰帶和頭巾，以示莊嚴美觀。

41 And thou shalt clothe with them Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.

你把這些服裝給你哥哥亞郎和他的兒子穿上；給他們傅油，授與聖職，祝聖他們做我的司祭。

42 And thou shalt make them linen trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they reach.

還應給他們用麻布做褲子，從腰部直到大腿，遮蓋他們的裸體。

43 And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die — an everlasting statute for him and his seed after him.

當亞郎和他的兒子們進入會幕或走近祭台，在聖所內行禮時，要穿上褲子，免得招致懲罰死亡：這為亞郎和他的後代是永遠的規律。
