Exodus 28
1 And cause thou thy brother Aaron to come vnto thee and his sonnes with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serue me in the Priestes office: I meane Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar Aarons sonnes.
“Mtwae Aroni ndugu yako aliyeletwa kwako kutoka miongoni mwa Waisraeli, pamoja na wanawe Nadabu, Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari, ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
2 Also thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, glorious and beautifull.
Mshonee Aroni ndugu yako mavazi matakatifu ili yampe ukuu na heshima.
3 Therefore thou shalt speake vnto al cunning men, whome I haue filled with the spirite of wisedome, that they make Aarons garments to consecrate him, that he may serue me in the Priestes office.
Waambie mafundi stadi wote niliowapa hekima katika shughuli hiyo wamtengenezee Aroni mavazi hayo, ili awekwe wakfu, anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
4 Nowe these shall be the garments, which they shall make, a brest plate, and an Ephod, and a robe, and a broydred coate, a miter, and a girdle. so these holy garments shall they make for Aaron thy brother, and for his sonnes, that he may serue me in the Priests office.
Haya ndiyo mavazi watakayoshona: kifuko cha kifuani, kisibau, kanzu, joho lililorembwa, kilemba na mshipi. Mavazi haya yatashonwa kwa ajili ya ndugu yako Aroni na wanawe ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
5 Therefore they shall take golde, and blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linnen,
Waambie watumie dhahabu na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu pamoja na kitani safi.
6 And they shall make the Ephod of gold, blewe silke, and purple, skarlet, and fine twined linen of broydred worke.
“Tengeneza kisibau cha dhahabu, na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi iliyosokotwa, kazi ya fundi stadi.
7 The two shoulders thereof shalbe ioyned together by their two edges: so shall it be closed.
Kitakuwa na vipande viwili vya mabegani vilivyoshikizwa kwenye pembe zake mbili ili kufungia kisibau.
8 And the embroydred garde of the same Ephod, which shalbe vpon him, shall be of the selfe same worke and stuffe, euen of golde, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen.
Mshipi wa kiunoni uliofumwa kwa ustadi utafanana nacho: utakuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kisibau, nao utengenezwe kwa dhahabu na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na nyekundu na kwa kitani iliyosokotwa vizuri.
9 And thou shalt take two onix stones, and graue vpon them the names of the children of Israel:
“Chukua vito viwili vya shohamu, na uchore juu yake majina ya wana wa Israeli
10 Sixe names of them vpon the one stone, and the sixe names that remaine, vpon the seconde stone, according to their generations.
kufuatana na walivyozaliwa: majina sita katika kito kimoja, na mengine sita katika kito kingine.
11 Thou shalt cause to graue the two stones according to the names of the children of Israel by a grauer of signets, that worketh and graueth in stone, and shalt make them to be set and embossed in golde.
Yachore majina ya wana wa Israeli juu ya vito hivyo viwili kama vile sonara anavyochonga muhuri. Kisha uvitie vito hivyo katika vijalizo vya dhahabu,
12 And thou shalt put the two stones vpon the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones of remebrance of the children of Israel: for Aaron shall beare their names before the Lord vpon his two shoulders for a remembrance.
na uvifungie juu ya vipande vya mabega ya kisibau yawe kama vito vya ukumbusho kwa wana wa Israeli. Aroni atavaa majina hayo mabegani mwake kama kumbukumbu mbele za Bwana.
13 So thou shalt make bosses of golde,
Tengeneza vijalizo vya dhahabu
14 And two cheynes of fine golde at the ende, of wrethed worke shalt thou make them, and shalt fasten the wrethed cheynes vpon the bosses.
na mikufu miwili ya dhahabu safi iliyosokotwa kama kamba, na uifunge mikufu hiyo kwenye vijalizo.
15 Also thou shalt make the brest plate of iudgement with broydred worke: like the worke of the Ephod shalt thou make it: of gold, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen shalt thou make it.
“Fanyiza kifuko cha kifuani kwa ajili ya kufanya maamuzi, kazi ya fundi stadi. Kitengeneze kama kile kisibau: cha dhahabu, na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, cha kitani safi iliyosokotwa.
16 Foure square it shall be and double, an hand bredth long and an hand bredth broade.
Kitakuwa cha mraba, chenye urefu wa shibiri moja na upana wa shibiri moja, na kikunjwe mara mbili.
17 Then thou shalt set it full of places for stones, euen foure rowes of stones: the order shalbe this, a rubie, a topaze, and a carbuncle in the first rowe.
Kisha weka safu nne za vito vya thamani juu yake. Safu ya kwanza itakuwa na akiki, yakuti manjano na zabarajadi;
18 And in the seconde rowe thou shalt set an emeraude, a saphir, and a diamonde.
katika safu ya pili itakuwa na almasi, yakuti samawi na zumaridi;
19 And in the third rowe a turkeis, an achate, and an hematite.
safu ya tatu itakuwa na hiakintho, akiki nyekundu na amethisto;
20 And in the fourth rowe a chrysolite, an onix, and a iasper: and they shall be set in golde in their embossements.
na safu ya nne itakuwa na krisolitho, shohamu na yaspi. Yote yatiwe kwenye vijalizo vya dhahabu.
21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelue, according to their names, grauen as signets, euerye one after his name, and they shall bee for the twelue tribes.
Patakuwa na vito kumi na viwili, kila kimoja kwa jina mojawapo la wana wa Israeli, kila kimoja kichorwe kama muhuri kikiwa na jina mojawapo la yale makabila kumi na mawili.
22 Then thou shalt make vpon the breast plate two cheines at the endes of wrethen worke of pure golde.
“Kwa ajili ya kile kifuko cha kifuani, tengeneza mikufu ya dhahabu safi, iliyosokotwa kama kamba.
23 Thou shalt make also vpon the brest plate two rings of golde, and put the two rings on the two endes of the brest plate.
Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili yake, uzifungie kwenye pembe mbili za hicho kifuko cha kifuani.
24 And thou shalt put the two wrethen chaynes of golde in the two rings in the endes of the brest plate.
Funga ile mikufu miwili ya dhahabu kwenye hizo pete zilizo katika pembe za hicho kifuko cha kifuani,
25 And the other two endes of the two wrethen cheines, thou shalt fasten in ye two embossements, and shalt put them vpon the shoulders of the Ephod on the foreside of it.
nazo zile ncha nyingine za mkufu zifunge kwenye vile vijalizo viwili, na uzishikamanishe na vile vipande vya mabega vya kile kisibau upande wa mbele.
26 Also thou shalt make two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two other endes of the brest plate, vpon the border thereof, towarde the inside of the Ephod.
Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu, uzishikamanishe kwenye pembe mbili za chini, upande wa ndani wa kifuko cha kifuani karibu na kisibau.
27 And two other rings of golde thou shalt make, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath in the forepart of it ouer against the coupling of it vpon the broydred garde of the Ephod.
Tengeneza pete nyingine mbili za dhahabu, na uzishikamanishe sehemu ya chini ya vipande vya mabega upande wa mbele wa kile kisibau, karibu na pindo juu kidogo ya mshipi wa kiunoni wa kisibau.
28 Thus they shall binde the brest plate by his rings vnto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blewe silke, that it may be fast vpon the broydred garde of the Ephod, and that the brest plate be not loosed from the Ephod.
Pete za kifuko cha kifuani zitafungwa kwenye pete zile za kisibau kwa kamba ya buluu, ziunganishwe na ule mshipi wa kiunoni, ili kifuko cha kifuani kisisogee kutoka kwenye kile kisibau.
29 So Aaron shall beare the names of the children of Israel in the brest plate of iudgement vpon his heart, when he goeth into the holy place, for a remembrance continually before the Lord.
“Wakati wowote Aroni aingiapo Mahali Patakatifu, atakuwa na yale majina ya wana wa Israeli moyoni mwake juu ya kile kifuko cha kifuani cha uamuzi kama kumbukumbu ya kudumu mbele za Bwana.
30 Also thou shalt put in the brest plate of iudgement the Vrim and the Thummim, which shalbe vpon Aarons heart, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall beare the iudgement of the children of Israel vpon his heart before the Lord continually.
Pia weka Urimu na Thumimu ndani ya kifuko cha kifuani, yawe juu ya moyo wa Aroni kila mara aingiapo mbele za Bwana. Kwa hiyo siku zote Aroni atakuwa na uwezo kufanya maamuzi kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli mbele za Bwana.
31 And thou shalt make the robe of the Ephod altogether of blewe silke.
“Shona joho la kisibau lote kwa kitambaa cha rangi ya buluu tupu,
32 And the hole for his head shalbe in the middes of it, hauing an edge of wouen woorke rounde about the coller of it: so it shalbe as the coller of an habergeon that it rent not.
na katikati uweke nafasi ya kuingizia kichwa. Kutakuwa na utepe uliofumwa, unaofanana na ukosi kuizunguka nafasi hiyo, ili isichanike.
33 And beneath vpon the skirtes thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, round about the skirts thereof, and belles of gold betweene them round about:
Tengeneza makomamanga ya nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu kuzunguka pindo la hilo joho, na uweke pia vikengele vya dhahabu kati ya hayo makomamanga.
34 That is, a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate rounde about vpon the skirtes of the robe.
Hivyo vikengele vya dhahabu na makomamanga vitapishana kuzunguka upindo wa joho lile.
35 So it shalbe vpon Aaron, when he ministreth, and his sound shalbe heard, when he goeth into the holy place before the Lord, and when he commeth out, and he shall not dye.
Ni lazima Aroni alivae anapofanya huduma. Sauti ya hivyo vikengele itasikika anapoingia na kutoka Mahali Patakatifu mbele za Bwana, ili asije akafa.
36 Also thou shalt make a plate of pure golde, and graue thereon, as signets are grauen, Holines To The Lord,
“Tengeneza bamba la dhahabu safi na uchore juu yake maneno haya kama vile muhuri huchorwa: Mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
37 And thou shalt put it on a blew silke lace, and it shalbe vpon the miter: euen vpon the fore front of the miter shall it be.
Lifunge hilo bamba kwa kamba ya buluu kwenye kilemba, nalo ni lazima liwe mbele ya kilemba.
38 So it shalbe vpon Aarons forehead, that Aaron may beare the iniquitie of the offrings, which the children of Israel shall offer in all their holy offrings: and it shall be alwayes vpon his forehead, to make them acceptable before the Lord.
Aroni alivae bamba hilo kwenye paji la uso wake, naye atachukua hatia kuhusu sadaka takatifu za Waisraeli wanazoweka wakfu, sadaka za aina yoyote. Litakuwa kwenye paji la uso wa Aroni daima ili zikubalike kwa Bwana.
39 Likewise thou shalt embroyder the fine line coat, and thou shalt make a miter of fine line, but thou shalt make a girdell of needle worke.
“Fuma koti la kitani safi na ufanye kilemba cha kitani safi. Mshipi uwe ni kazi ya mtarizi.
40 Also thou shalt make for Aarons sonnes coates, and thou shalt make the girdels, and bonets shalt thou make them for glorie and comelinesse.
Watengenezee wana wa Aroni makoti, mishipi na kofia, ili kuwapa ukuu na heshima.
41 And thou shalt put them vpon Aaron thy brother, and on his sonnes with him, and shalt anoint them, and fill their handes, and sanctifie them, that they may minister vnto me in the Priestes office.
Baada ya kumvika Aroni ndugu yako pamoja na wanawe nguo hizi, watie mafuta na kuwabariki. Waweke wakfu ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
42 Thou shalt also make them linen breeches to couer their priuities: from the loynes vnto the thighs shall they reache.
“Watengenezee nguo za ndani za kitani zitakazofunika mwili, kutoka kiunoni hadi mapajani.
43 And they shalbe for Aaron and his sonnes when they come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or whe they come vnto the altar to minister in the holy place, that they commit not iniquitie, and so die. This shalbe a lawe for euer vnto him and to his seede after him.
Aroni na wanawe ni lazima wavae haya kila wanapoingia katika Hema la Kukutania au wanaposogelea madhabahu wakati wa kutoa huduma katika Mahali Patakatifu, ili wasije wakafanya kosa wakafa. “Haya yawe maagizo ya kudumu kwa Aroni na vizazi vyake.
