Exodus 28
1 Have your brother Aaron come to you, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. They of all the Israelites are to serve me as priests.
“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 You are to have holy clothing made for your brother Aaron to make him look splendid and dignified.
Meere Erọn nwanne gị nwoke uwe nsọ, nke ga-enye ya ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
3 You are to give instructions to all the skilful workers, to those who have received from me their abilities, as to how to make clothing for Aaron's dedication, so that he can serve me as priest.
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 These are the clothes for them to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a pleated tunic, a turban, and a sash. These are the holy clothes they shall make for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they can serve me as priests.
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 The workers are to use gold thread, together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun 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 They are to make the ephod of finely-woven linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and crimson thread, skillfully worked.
“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 Two shoulder pieces are to be attached to the front and back pieces.
Ọ ga-enwe akwa nʼubu ya abụọ nke e ji ejikọta ọnụ nkuku ya abụọ, ka e nwe ike na-ekechisi ya ike.
8 The waistband of the ephod is to be one piece made in the same way, using gold thread, with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and with finely-woven 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 Engrave on two onyx stones the names of the Israelite tribes,
“Were nkume ọniks abụọ, gbunye aha ụmụ ndị nwoke Izrel nʼelu ya,
10 six names on one stone and six on the other, in birth order.
nʼusoro dịka e si mụọ ha, isii nʼelu otu nkume, isii fọdụrụ na nkume nke ọzọ.
11 Engrave the names on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a personal seal. Then place the stones in ornamental gold settings.
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 Attach both stones to the shoulder pieces of the ephod as reminders for the Israelite tribes. Aaron is to wear their names on his two shoulders to remind the Israelites that he represents them when he goes into the Lord's presence.
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 Make ornamental gold settings
Ị ga-eji ọlaedo mee ihe ịchọ mma a tụrụ atụ.
14 and two braided chains of pure gold, and fasten these chains to the settings.
Jirikwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ eriri a tụhịkọtara dịka ụdọ, jikọta eriri ọlaedo ahụ na ihe ịchọ mma ndị ahụ.
15 You are also to make a breastpiece for decisions in the same skilful way as the ephod, to be used in determining the Lord's will. Make it using gold thread, with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and with finely-woven 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 has to be square when folded, measuring around nine inches in length and width.
Akụkụ anọ ya ga-aha nʼotu, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼogologo, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼobosara, nke apịajiri ụzọ abụọ.
17 Attach an arrangement of precious stones in four rows as follows. In the first row carnelian, peridot, and 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 row turquoise, lapis lazuli, and sardonyx.
nʼahịrị nke abụọ, ga-abụ nkume tọkwọisi, safaia na emeralụdụ.
19 In the third row jacinth, agate, and amethyst.
Nʼahịrị nke atọ ga-abụ nkume jasint, ageeti na ametisiti.
20 In the fourth row topaz, beryl, and jasper. Place these stones in ornamental gold settings.
Nʼahịrị nke anọ, ga-abụ nkume topaazi, ọniks na jaspa. Hịọnye ha nʼime ihe ọlaedo a kpara akpa.
21 Each of the twelve stones will be engraved like a personal seal with the name of one of the twelve Israelites tribes and will represent them.
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 Make cords of braided chains from pure gold to attach the breastpiece.
“Jiri ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee eriri a kpara akpa dịka ụdọ, maka ihe mgbochi obi.
23 Make two gold rings and fasten them to the two top corners of the breastpiece.
Kpụkwaa mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ, dụnye ha na nkuku abụọ nke ihe mgbochi obi ahụ.
24 Attach the two gold chains to the two gold rings on the corners of the breastpiece,
Dụnye ụdọ ọlaedo abụọ ndị ahụ nʼelu mgbaaka ndị ahụ dị na nkuku ihe mgbochi obi ahụ,
25 and then fasten the opposite ends of the two chains to the ornamental gold settings on the shoulder pieces of the front side of the ephod.
were isi ndị ọzọ nke ụdọ ahụ dụnye nʼihe ahụ a kpara akpa, konye ha nʼelu ubu efọọd ahụ, nʼebe ihu ya.
26 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the two lower corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
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 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the front side of the ephod, near where it joins its woven waistband.
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 Tie the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue thread, so that the breastpiece won't come loose from the ephod.
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 Like this, whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will wear the names of the Israelite tribes over his heart on the breastpiece, as a constant reminder before the Lord.
“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 Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of decision, so that they too will be over Aaron's heart whenever he comes into the Lord's presence. Aaron will continually carry the means of gaining decisions over his heart before the Lord.
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 Make the robe that goes with the ephod exclusively from blue cloth,
“Ọ bụ akwa nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, ka ị ga-eji dụọ uwe mwụda efọọd ahụ.
32 with an opening in the middle at the top. Stitch a woven collar around the opening to strengthen it so it won't tear.
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 Make pomegranates using blue, purple, and crimson thread and attach them all the way around its hem, with gold bells between them,
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 having the gold bells and the pomegranates alternate.
Nʼọnụ ọnụ ala uwe mwụda ahụ, a ga-adụnye otu ataṅụ ọlaedo, otu oyiyi mkpụrụ pomegranet, gbaa gburugburu.
35 Aaron is to wear the robe whenever he serves, and the sound it makes will be heard when he enters or leaves the sanctuary as he goes into the Lord's presence, so that he won't 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 Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it like a seal, “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 Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord.
Kenye eriri na-acha anụnụ anụnụ i ji jikọta ya na ihe ike nʼisi ahụ; ọ ga-adị nʼihu akwa ike nʼisi ahụ.
38 Aaron will wear it on his forehead, so that he may take responsibility for the guilt of the offerings the Israelites make, and this applies to all their holy gifts. It must always remain on his forehead in order that the people are accepted in the Lord's presence.
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 Weave the tunic with finely-spun linen and make the turban of the same material, and also make sash and have it embroidered.
“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 Make tunics, sashes, and headdresses for Aaron's sons, so that they will look splendid and dignified.
Meekwara ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn uwe ime ahụ, ihe ike nʼukwu na akwa ike nʼisi, inye ha ugwu na nsọpụrụ.
41 Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons and then anoint them and ordain them. Dedicate them so that they can serve me as priests.
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 Make linen undershorts to cover their bare bodies, reaching from waist to thigh.
“Meekwara ha uwe ụkwụ nke eji akwa ọcha mee, maka ikpuchi anụ ahụ ha. Ọ ga-esite nʼukwu ruo nʼikpere.
43 Aaron and his sons are to wear them when they enter the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to serve in the Holy Place, so that they will not bring guilt on themselves and die. This is a law for Aaron and his descendants forever.
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.
