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.
“Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmabarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar na tew wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfo nsom me.
2 You are to have holy clothing made for your brother Aaron to make him look splendid and dignified.
Pam atade kronkron ma wo nua Aaron na ama anuonyam aba nʼadwuma no ho. Pam atade no na ɛnyɛ fɛ, sɛnea ɛbɛma afata nʼadwuma no.
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.
Ka kyerɛ nnipa a mama wɔn adepam ho nyansa na wɔmpam atade no. Ɛno na ɛbɛma no ada nsow wɔ ne mfɛfo mu na ama watumi asom me.
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.
Ntade ahorow a wɔbɛpam no ni: adɛbo asɔfotade, atade yuu, atade kɔnsin a ɛyɛ adamadam, abotiri ne nkyekyeremu. Wɔbɛpam ntade kronkron bi nso de ama Aaron mmabarima no.
5 The workers are to use gold thread, together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen.
Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwen na ɛbɛpam.
6 They are to make the ephod of finely-woven linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and crimson thread, skillfully worked.
“Ma ntamanwen mu adwumfo papa mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne bibiri ne asaawa a ɛbere dum ne koogyan ne asaawa fitaa a wɔafura nyɛ asɔfotade no.
7 Two shoulder pieces are to be attached to the front and back pieces.
Wɔbɛpam no asinasin abien a ɛyɛ anim ne akyi a wɔapam ne mmati no so abɔ mu.
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.
Nkyekyeremu no bɛyɛ ntama koro no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan.
9 Engrave on two onyx stones the names of the Israelite tribes,
“Fa apopobibiri abo abien na kyerɛw Israelfo mmusuakuw no din gu so.
10 six names on one stone and six on the other, in birth order.
Ɔbo biara, wɔnkyerɛw din asia ngu so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bedidi so mpanyin mu.
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.
Fa ɔkwan a aboɔdemmotwafo si fa twa din gu adwinne so no so kyerɛw din ahorow no sɛnea Israel mma no din te, na fa sika mmuano twa ho hyia.
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.
Fa abo abien no sisi asɔfotade no mmati so na ɛnyɛ nkae ade mma Israelfo. Na daa Aaron nso nam so akae, abɔ wɔn din akyerɛ Awurade.
13 Make ornamental gold settings
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim
14 and two braided chains of pure gold, and fasten these chains to the settings.
ne ntweaban abien a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare ntetareho a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no mmati so no mu.
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.
“Momma odwumfo a nʼadwinni yɛ fɛ na ɔnyɛ atemmu adɛbo no. Momfa asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛmpam adɛbo no sɛnea mode pam asɔfotade no.
16 It has to be square when folded, measuring around nine inches in length and width.
Mummu adɛbo no nto so na ɛnyɛ sɛ ntama nkotoku.
17 Attach an arrangement of precious stones in four rows as follows. In the first row carnelian, peridot, and emerald.
Momfa abo a ɛsom bo a ɛsesa so anan mmobɔ mu. Nea a edi kan no nyɛ bogyanambo, nea ɛto so abien no nyɛ akraatebo na nea etwa to no nyɛ ɔbo a ɛte sɛ ahabammono.
18 In the second row turquoise, lapis lazuli, and sardonyx.
Nsaso a ɛto so abien no nyɛ nsrammabo, hoabo ne dɛnkyɛmmo.
19 In the third row jacinth, agate, and amethyst.
Nsaso a ɛto so abiɛsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonobo, mfrafraebo ne beredumbo.
20 In the fourth row topaz, beryl, and jasper. Place these stones in ornamental gold settings.
Nsaso a ɛto so anan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛbo, apopobibiribo ne ahwehwɛbo. Sikakɔkɔɔ mmuano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
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.
Ɔbo no baako biara begyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuw no baako. Na wɔbɛkyerɛw abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔwanode.
22 Make cords of braided chains from pure gold to attach the breastpiece.
“Ɔkwan a mobɛfa so de adɛbo no afam asɔfotade no mu ni: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban.
23 Make two gold rings and fasten them to the two top corners of the breastpiece.
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien, na fa tetare adɛbo no twɔtwɔw so.
24 Attach the two gold chains to the two gold rings on the corners of the breastpiece,
Fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban abien no hyehyɛ adɛbo no nkaa abien no twɔtwɔw so,
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.
ntweaban abien a aka no fa biara nso, wɔmfa ntare ɔbo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri no apɔw abien no so nsan mfa ntare asɔfotade no mmati so.
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.
Yɛ sika nkaa abien na fa hyehyɛ adɛbo ntwea abien a ɛwɔ fam no mu.
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.
San yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien hyehyɛ asɔfotade no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka nkyekyeremu no.
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.
Fa bibiri hama kyekyere adɛbo no ase na fa hyehyɛ nkaa a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no ase no mu. Eyi remma adɛbo no mfi asɔfotade no ho ntew nsensɛn.
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.
“Aaron bɛfa saa kwan yi so na ɔde Israel mmusuakuw no din a ɛwɔ adɛbo no so no bɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ; na eyi na ɛbɛma Awurade akae Israelman bere nyinaa mu.
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.
Sɛ Aaron rekɔ Awurade anim a, ɔmfa Urim ne Tumim a ase ne hann ne pɛyɛ nhyɛ adɛbo a ɛda ne koko so no kotoku mu. Saa ara na daa Aaron bɛsoa nneɛma a wɔnam so kyerɛ Awurade apɛde de ma ne nkurɔfo no bere biara a ɔbɛkɔ Awurade anim no.
31 Make the robe that goes with the ephod exclusively from blue cloth,
“Wɔde ntama tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotade no
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.
na wɔagyaw ɔkwan bi a Aaron de ne ti bewura mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama a wɔanwen to atade no kɔn mu hyia, na ansuane amfa mu.
33 Make pomegranates using blue, purple, and crimson thread and attach them all the way around its hem, with gold bells between them,
Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
34 having the gold bells and the pomegranates alternate.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adɔmma ne atoaa aba a edi afrafra twa asɔfotade no mmuano ho hyia.
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.
Bere biara a Aaron bɛkɔ Awurade anim akɔsɔre no, saa asɔfotade yi na ɔbɛhyɛ. Ɔredi akɔneaba wɔ Awurade anim hɔ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, na dɔn no rewosow sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.
36 Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it like a seal, “Holy to the Lord.”
“Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa ma ɛnyɛ tratraa sɛ prɛte na kyerɛw so sɛnea wokurukyerɛw nsɔwanode so no se: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
37 Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord.
Wɔde ntama tuntum beso mu asensɛn Aaron abotiri no anim.
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.
Aaron de saa ade no bɛbɔ ne moma so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ Israelfo no bɔ afɔre biara na mfomso ba ho a, ɛho asodi bɛda ne so, na Awurade agye nnipa no, na ɔde wɔn bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
39 Weave the tunic with finely-spun linen and make the turban of the same material, and also make sash and have it embroidered.
“Fa asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ nwen Aaron atade kɔnsin no. Ma ɛnyɛ adamadam na fa ntama koro no ara bi pam abotiri na nwen biribi gu ne nkatakɔnmu no nso mu.
40 Make tunics, sashes, and headdresses for Aaron's sons, so that they will look splendid and dignified.
Pam atade yuu ne nkyekyeremu ne abotiri ma Aaron mmabarima na momfa obu ne nidi mma wɔn.
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.
Saa ntade yi na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima na momfa ngo ngu wɔn tirim mfa nhyɛ wɔn asɔfo wɔ ɔsom no mu, na momfa ntew wɔn ho sɛ asɔfo a wɔyɛ me dea.
42 Make linen undershorts to cover their bare bodies, reaching from waist to thigh.
“Mompam sirikyi ntade a efi wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntade no agu so.
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.
Bere biara a Aaron ne ne mmabarima no rekɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ anaasɛ wɔrekɔ afɔremuka no anim wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔnhyɛ. Anyɛ saa a afɔbu bɛba wɔn so ama wɔawuwu. “Eyi yɛ daa apam a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmabarima.
