Exodus 28
1 And do you take to yourself both Aaron your brother, and his sons, even [them] of the children of Israel; so that Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron, may minister to me.
“Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmammarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar na te wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ nsom me.
2 And you shall make holy apparel for Aaron your brother, for honor and glory.
Pam atadeɛ kronkron ma wo nua Aaron na ama animuonyam aba nʼadwuma no ho. Pam atadeɛ no na ɛnyɛ fɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma afata nʼadwuma no.
3 And speak you to all those who are wise in understanding, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom and perception; and they shall make the holy apparel of Aaron for the sanctuary, in which [apparel] he shall minister to me as priest.
Ka kyerɛ nnipa a mama wɔn adepam ho nyansa na wɔmpam atadeɛ no. Ɛno na ɛbɛma ne ho ada nso wɔ nʼafɛfoɔ mu na ama watumi asom me.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-plate, and the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the tunic with a fringe, and the tire, and the girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests.
Ntadeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔbɛpam no nie: adaaboɔ asɔfotadeɛ, asɔfotadeɛ, atadeɛ yuu, atadeɛ kɔnsini a ɛyɛ damedame, abɔtiten ne abɔwomu. Wɔbɛpam ntadeɛ kronkron bi nso de ama Aaron mmammarima no.
5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwono na ɛbɛpam.
6 And they shall make the shoulder-piece of fine linen spun, the woven work of the embroiderer.
“Ma ntomanwono mu adwumfoɔ papa mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne bibire ne asaawa a ɛberedum ne koogyan ne asaawa fitaa a wɔafira nyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no.
7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined together, fastened on the two sides.
Wɔbɛpam no asinasini mmienu a ɛyɛ animu ne akyire a wɔapam ne mmatire no so abɔ mu.
8 And the woven work of the shoulder-pieces which is upon it, shall be of one piece according to the work, of pure gold and blue and purple, and spun scarlet and fine twined linen.
Abɔwomu no bɛyɛ ntoma korɔ no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ nsaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan.
9 And you shall take the two stones, the stones of emerald, and you shall grave on them the names of the children of Israel.
“Fa apopobibirieboɔ mmienu na twerɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no din gu so.
10 Six names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second stone, according to their births.
Aboɔdenboɔ biara, wɔntwerɛ edin nsia ngu so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bɛdidi so mpanin mu.
11 [It shall be] the work of the stone-engraver's are; as the graving of a seal you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel.
Fa ɛkwan a aboɔdenboɔtwafoɔ si fa twa edin gu adwinneɛ so, na twerɛ edin ahodoɔ no sɛdeɛ Israel mma no din te, na fa sika ntotoano twa ho hyia.
12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the shoulder-piece: they are memorial-stones for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel before the Lord on his two shoulders, a memorial for them.
Fa aboɔdemmoɔ mmienu no sisi asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so na ɛnyɛ nkaedeɛ mma Israelfoɔ. Na daa Aaron nso nam so akae, abɔ wɔn din akyerɛ Awurade.
13 And you shall make circlets of pure gold;
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim mmienu.
14 and you shall make two fringes of pure gold, variegated with flowers wreathen work; and you shall put the wreathen fringes on the circlets, fastening them on their shoulder-pieces in front.
Na fa mmobareeɛ mmienu a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare mfomfamho a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so no mu.
15 And you shall make the oracle of judgment, the work of the embroiderer: in keeping with the ephod, you shall make it of gold, and blue and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun.
“Momma odwumfoɔ a nʼadwinnie yɛ fɛ na ɔnyɛ atemmuo adaaboɔ no. Momfa asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na mompam adaaboɔ no sɛdeɛ mode pam asɔfotadeɛ no.
16 You shall make it square: it shall be double; of a span the length of it, and of a span the breadth.
Montwa ntomasini no ahinanan na ɛfa biara nyɛ nsateakwaa nkron na mompam mfam so mma ɛnyɛ sɛ kotokuo.
17 And you shall interweave with it a texture of four rows of stone; there shall be a row of stones, a sardius, a topaz, and emerald, the first row.
Momfa aboɔdemmoɔ nsasoɔ ɛnan mmobɔ mu. Nsasoɔ a ɛdi ɛkan no nyɛ bogyanamboɔ, deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ akarateboɔ na deɛ ɛtwa toɔ no nyɛ ɛboɔ a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ.
18 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ nsrammaboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ ne dɛnkyɛmmoɔ.
19 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, an amethyst:
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonoboɔ, mfrafraeɛboɔ ne beredumboɔ.
20 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and a beryl, and an onyx stone, set round with gold, bound together with gold: let them be according to their row.
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so nan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛboɔ, apopobibirieboɔ ne ahwehwɛboɔ. Sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
21 And let the stones of the names of the children of Israel be twelve according to their names, engravings as of seals: let them be for the twelve tribes each according to the name.
Aboɔdemmoɔ no baako biara bɛgyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuo no baako. Na wɔbɛtwerɛ abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔanodeɛ.
22 And you shall make on the oracle woven fringes, a chain-work of pure gold.
“Ɛkwan a mobɛfa so de adaaboɔ no afam asɔfotadeɛ no mu nie: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ,
23 And Aaron shall take the names of the children of Israel, on the oracle of judgment on his breast; a memorial before God for him as he goes into the sanctuary.
na yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu, na fa tare adaaboɔ no apampam twɛtwɛwa so;
24 And you shall put the fringes on the oracle of judgment; you shall put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle,
wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ mmienu no bɛhyehyɛ adaaboɔ no nkawa mmienu no mu.
25 and you shall put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front.
Nhoma mmienu no a aka no, kyekyere biara ti bɔ sikakɔkɔɔ no a ɛbɔ asɔfotadeɛ no abatiri so no mu.
26 And you shall put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of judgment; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgments of the children of Israel on his breast before the Lord continually.
Yɛ sika nkawa mmienu na fa hyehyɛ adaaboɔ ntwea mmienu a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no nkyɛn mu.
27 And you shall make the full-length tunic all of blue.
Sane yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu hyehyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka abɔwomu no.
28 And the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of the same piece that it might not be tore.
Fa bibire nhoma kyekyere adaaboɔ no ase na fa hyehyɛ nkawa a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no ase no mu. Yei remma adaaboɔ no mfiri asɔfotadeɛ no ho nte ntwontwɔn.
29 And under the fringe of the robe below you shall make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these.
“Aaron bɛfa saa ɛkwan yi so na ɔde Israel mmusuakuo no din a ɛwɔ adaaboɔ no so no bɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ; na yei na ɛbɛma Awurade akae Israelman ɛberɛ nyinaa mu.
30 A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.
Sɛ Aaron rekɔ Awurade anim a, ɔmfa Urim ne Tumim a aseɛ ne hann ne pɛyɛ nhyɛ adaaboɔ a ɛda ne koko so no kotokuo mu. Saa ara na daa Aaron bɛsoa nneɛma a wɔnam so kyerɛ Awurade apɛdeɛ de ma ne nkurɔfoɔ ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛkɔ Awurade anim no.
31 And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and has he goes out, that he die not.
“Wɔde ntoma tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotadeɛ no
32 And you shall make a plate [of] pure gold, and you shall grave on it [as] the graving of a signet, Holiness of the Lord.
a wɔagya ɛkwan bi a Aaron de ne tiri bɛwura mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa mfimfini tokuro ma ano no yɛ den sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛ a ɛrentete.
33 And you shall put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the mitre: it shall be in the front of the mitre.
Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
34 And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the sins of their holy things, all that the children of Israel shall sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nnɔmma ne ateaa aba a ɛdi afrafra twa asɔfotadeɛ no mmuano ho hyia.
35 And the fringes of the garments [shall be] of fine linen; and you shall make a tire of fine linen, and you shall make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.
Ɛberɛ biara a Aaron bɛkɔ Awurade anim akɔsɔre no, saa asɔfotadeɛ yi na ɔbɛhyɛ. Ɔredi akɔneaba wɔ Awurade anim hɔ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, na ɛdɔn no rewoso sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenwu.
36 And for the sons of Aaron you shall make tunics and girdles, and you shall make for them tires for honor and glory.
“Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ma ɛnyɛ trawa sɛ prɛte na twerɛ so sɛdeɛ wɔkurukyire nsɔanodeɛ so no sɛ: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
37 And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, and you shall anoint them and fill their hands: and you shall sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
Wɔde ntoma tuntum bɛsɔ mu asensɛn Aaron abotire no anim.
38 And you shall make for them linen drawers to cover the nakedness of their flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs.
Aaron de saa adeɛ no bɛbɔ ne moma so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ Israelfoɔ no bɔ afɔdeɛ biara na mfomsoɔ ba ho a, ɛho asodie bɛda ne so, na Awurade agye nnipa no, na ɔde wɔn bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
39 And Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest they die: [it is] a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him.
“Fa asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ nwono Aaron atadeɛ kɔnsini no. Ma ɛnyɛ damedame na fa ntoma korɔ no ara bi pam abotire na nwono biribi gu ne nkatakɔnmu no nso mu.
Pam atadeɛ yuu ne abɔwomu ne abotire ma Aaron mmammarima na momfa obuo ne anidie mma wɔn.

“Mompam serekye ntadeɛ a ɛfiri wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ no agu so.
