Exodus 28
1 And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
“Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmabarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar na tew wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfo nsom me.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for splendour and for beauty.
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 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office.
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 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of chequer work, a mitre, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office.
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 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwen na ɛbɛpam.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.
“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 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends thereof, that it may be joined together.
Wɔbɛpam no asinasin abien a ɛyɛ anim ne akyi a wɔapam ne mmati no so abɔ mu.
8 And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall be like the work thereof and of the same piece: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Nkyekyeremu no bɛyɛ ntama koro no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
“Fa apopobibiri abo abien na kyerɛw Israelfo mmusuakuw no din gu so.
10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth.
Ɔbo biara, wɔnkyerɛw din asia ngu so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bedidi so mpanyin mu.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel; thou shalt make them to be inclosed in settings of gold.
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 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
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 And thou shalt make settings of gold;
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim
14 and two chains of pure gold; of plaited thread shalt thou make them, of wreathen work; and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the settings.
ne ntweaban abien a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare ntetareho a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no mmati so no mu.
15 And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
“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 Four-square it shall be and double: a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.
Mummu adɛbo no nto so na ɛnyɛ sɛ ntama nkotoku.
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd shall be the first row;
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 and the second row a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an emerald;
Nsaso a ɛto so abien no nyɛ nsrammabo, hoabo ne dɛnkyɛmmo.
19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Nsaso a ɛto so abiɛsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonobo, mfrafraebo ne beredumbo.
20 and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings.
Nsaso a ɛto so anan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛbo, apopobibiribo ne ahwehwɛbo. Sikakɔkɔɔ mmuano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.
Ɔbo no baako biara begyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuw no baako. Na wɔbɛkyerɛw abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔwanode.
22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate plaited chains of wreathen work of pure gold.
“Ɔkwan a mobɛfa so de adɛbo no afam asɔfotade no mu ni: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban.
23 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien, na fa tetare adɛbo no twɔtwɔw so.
24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
Fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban abien no hyehyɛ adɛbo no nkaa abien no twɔtwɔw so,
25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof.
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 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
Yɛ sika nkaa abien na fa hyehyɛ adɛbo ntwea abien a ɛwɔ fam no mu.
27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.
San yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien hyehyɛ asɔfotade no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka nkyekyeremu no.
28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue, that it may be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed 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 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
“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 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
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 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
“Wɔde ntama tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotade no
32 And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof; it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail that it be not rent.
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 And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adɔmma ne atoaa aba a edi afrafra twa asɔfotade no mmuano ho hyia.
35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister; and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
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 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: 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 And thou shalt put it on a thread of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
Wɔde ntama tuntum beso mu asensɛn Aaron abotiri no anim.
38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity committed in the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow, even in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
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 And thou shalt weave the tunic in chequer work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the weaver in colours.
“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 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make tunics, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for splendour and for beauty.
Pam atade yuu ne nkyekyeremu ne abotiri ma Aaron mmabarima na momfa obu ne nidi mma wɔn.
41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office.
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 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach.
“Mompam sirikyi ntade a efi wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntade no agu so.
43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die; it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.
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.
