Exodus 28

1 And thou shalt let come near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may be a priest unto me; Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Elazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.

“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 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.

Meere Erọn nwanne gị nwoke uwe nsọ, nke ga-enye ya ugwu na nsọpụrụ.

3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wisehearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make garments for Aaron, to sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.

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 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a checkered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, to be a priest unto me.

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.

5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and the 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 And they shall make the ephod, of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet yarn, and twisted linen, of weaver's work.

“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 shall it have joined at the two edges thereof; by which it shall be joined together.

Ọ ga-enwe akwa nʼubu ya abụọ nke e ji ejikọta ọnụ nkuku ya abụọ, ka e nwe ike na-ekechisi ya ike.

8 And the belt for girding, which is upon it, shall be of the same make, out of the same piece with itself; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted 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 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

“Were nkume ọniks abụọ, gbunye aha ụmụ ndị nwoke Izrel nʼelu ya,

10 Six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, according to the order of their birth.

nʼusoro dịka e si mụọ ha, isii nʼelu otu nkume, isii fọdụrụ na nkume nke ọzọ.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engraving of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel; fitted in settings of gold shalt thou make them.

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 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial unto the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

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 And thou shalt make casings of gold;

Ị ga-eji ọlaedo mee ihe ịchọ mma a tụrụ atụ.

14 And two chains of pure gold, with knots at the ends, of wreathed work shalt thou make them, and thou shalt fasten the wreathed chains to the casings.

Jirikwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha kpụọ eriri a tụhịkọtara dịka ụdọ, jikọta eriri ọlaedo ahụ na ihe ịchọ mma ndị ahụ.

15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment, of weaver's work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and of twisted linen, shalt thou make it.

“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 Four-square shall it be, double; a span in length, and a span in breadth.

Akụkụ anọ ya ga-aha nʼotu, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼogologo, iri sentimita abụọ na atọ nʼobosara, nke apịajiri ụzọ abụọ.

17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row, a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row.

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 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.

19 And the third row, an opal, a turquoise, and an amethyst.

Nʼahịrị nke atọ ga-abụ nkume jasint, ageeti na ametisiti.

20 And the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be fitted in golden casings when they are set in.

Nʼahịrị nke anọ, ga-abụ nkume topaazi, ọniks na jaspa. Hịọnye ha nʼime ihe ọlaedo a kpara akpa.

21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; [engraved] with the engraving of a signet, every one according to his name, shall they be for the twelve tribes.

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 And thou shalt make on the breastplate chains with knots at the ends, of wreathed work, of pure gold.

“Jiri ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha mee eriri a kpara akpa dịka ụdọ, maka ihe mgbochi obi.

23 And thou shalt make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

Kpụkwaa mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ, dụnye ha na nkuku abụọ nke ihe mgbochi obi ahụ.

24 And thou shalt put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings, on the ends of the breastplate.

Dụnye ụdọ ọlaedo abụọ ndị ahụ nʼelu mgbaaka ndị ahụ dị na nkuku ihe mgbochi obi ahụ,

25 And the [other] two ends of the two wreathed chains thou shalt fasten on the two casings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod on the outside thereof.

were isi ndị ọzọ nke ụdọ ahụ dụnye nʼihe ahụ a kpara akpa, konye ha nʼelu ubu efọọd ahụ, nʼebe ihu ya.

26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them on the two ends of the breastplate on its border, which is on the opposite side of the ephod, inward.

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 And thou shalt make two more rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, toward its front part, close by its seam, above the girdle of the ephod.

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 And they shall fasten the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may remain on the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed 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 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.

“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 And thou shalt put into 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.

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 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod altogether of blue woolen yarn.

“Ọ bụ akwa nke na-acha anụnụ anụnụ, ka ị ga-eji dụọ uwe mwụda efọọd ahụ.

32 And there shall be an opening in the top of it, in the midst thereof; it shall have a binding of woven work, round about its opening, as it is on the opening of a habergeon, so shall it be thereon, that it be not rent.

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 And thou shalt make on its lower hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, round about its lower hem; and bells of gold between them round about:

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 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the lower hem of the robe round about.

Nʼọnụ ọnụ ala uwe mwụda ahụ, a ga-adụnye otu ataṅụ ọlaedo, otu oyiyi mkpụrụ pomegranet, gbaa gburugburu.

35 And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministereth; and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in into the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

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 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engraving of a signet, Holy unto 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 And thou shalt fasten it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the front of the mitre shall it be.

Kenye eriri na-acha anụnụ anụnụ i ji jikọta ya na ihe ike nʼisi ahụ; ọ ga-adị nʼihu akwa ike nʼisi ahụ.

38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead; and Aaron shall atone for the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be upon his forehead always, that they may be received in favor before the Lord.

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 And thou shalt make the coat of linen checkered, and thou shalt make a mitre of linen, and a girdle shalt thou make of embroiderer's work.

“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 And for Aaron's sons shalt thou make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles; and bonnets thou shalt make for them, for glory and for ornament.

Meekwara ụmụ ndị ikom Erọn uwe ime ahụ, ihe ike nʼukwu na akwa ike nʼisi, inye ha ugwu na nsọpụrụ.

41 And thou shalt clothe therewith Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and thou shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may be priests unto me.

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 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs shall they reach.

“Meekwara ha uwe ụkwụ nke eji akwa ọcha mee, maka ikpuchi anụ ahụ ha. Ọ ga-esite nʼukwu ruo nʼikpere.

43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die; a statute for ever shall it be for him and for his seed after him.
