Exodus 28

1 “And you, bring your brother Aaron near to you, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to Me, [even] Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, sons of Aaron;

١ وَافْرِزْ لِي هَرُونَ أَخَاكَ وَأَوْلادَهُ: نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ، مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَكُونُوا لِي كَهَنَةً.

2 and you have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and for beauty;

٢ وَاصْنَعْ لأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

3 and you speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled [with] a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest to Me.

٣ وَخَاطِبْ كُلَّ ذِي مَهَارَةٍ مِمَّنْ وَهَبْتُهُمْ رُوحَ الْبَرَاعَةِ فِي الْحِيَاكَةِ لِيَصْنَعُوا ثِيَابَ هَرُونَ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ، فَيَكُونَ كَاهِناً لِي.

4 And these [are] the garments which they make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a girdle; indeed, they have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.

٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الثِّيَابُ الَّتِي يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ صِنَاعَتُهَا: صُدْرَةٌ وَرِدَاءٌ وَجُبَّةٌ وَقَمِيصٌ مُخَرَّمٌ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَحِزَامٌ، يَصْنَعُونَهَا ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِهَرُونَ وَأَوْلادِهِ، لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

5 And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen,

٥ وَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوا فِي حِيَاكَتِهَا خُيُوطاً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةً وَحَمْرَاءَ وَالْكَتَّانَ الْفَاخِرَ.

6 and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of a designer;

٦ وَلْيَقُمْ أَمْهَرُ الخَيَّاطِينَ عَلَى صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَمِنَ الكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومِ.

7 it has two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.

٧ يَكُونُ لَهُ كَتِفَانِ مُتَّصِلانِ فِي طَرَفَيْهِ لِيُمْكِنَ تَثْبِيتُهُ.

8 And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

٨ أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ الَّذِي يَشُدُّهُ، فَيَكُونُ مُحَاكاً مِنْهُ، مَصْنُوعاً بِمَهَارَةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ فَاخِرٍ.

9 And you have taken the two shoham stones, and have engraved the names of the sons of Israel on them;

٩ ثُمَّ خُذْ حَجَرَيْ جَزْعٍ، وَانْقُشْ عَلَيْهِمَا أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 six of their names on the first stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;

١٠ تَنْقُشُ كلَّ سِتَّةِ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى حَجَرٍ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَارِيخِ وِلادَتِهِمْ.

11 the work of an engraver of stone, [as] engravings of a signet—you engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones; encompassing, you make them [with] filigrees of gold.

١١ انْقُشْ أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْحَجَرَيْنِ تَمَاماً مِثْلَ حَفْرِ النَّقَّاشِ الْمَاهِرِ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ، وَطَوِّقْهُمَا بِإِطَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

12 And you have set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial to the sons of Israel—and Aaron has borne their names before YHWH, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.

١٢ وَتُرَصِّعُ كَتِفَي الرِّدَاءِ بِالْحَجَرَيْنِ، فَيَكُونَانِ حَجَرَيْ تَذْكَارٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

13 And you have made filigrees of gold,

١٣ وَتَصْنَعُ طَوْقَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

14 and you make them [with] two chains of pure gold [as] wreathed work, work of thick bands, and you have put the thick chains on the filigrees.

١٤ وَسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مَبْرُومَتَيْنِ كَحَبْلٍ، تُعَلِّقُهُمَا بِالطَّوْقَيْنِ.

15 And you have made a breastplate of judgment, the work of a designer; you make it according to the work of the ephod; you make it of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen;

١٥ كَلِّفْ أَمْهَرَ الخَيَّاطِينَ بِصِنَاعَةِ «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ عَلَى غِرَارِ صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ.

16 it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.

١٦ وَتَكُونُ مُرَبَّعَةً مَثْنِيَّةً مِنْ طَبَقَتَيْنِ، وَطُولُهَا شِبْرٌ وَعَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ.

17 And you have set settings of stone in it, four rows of stone: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first row;

١٧ وَتُرَصِّعُونَهَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوُفٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْكَرِيمَةِ. الصَّفُ الأَوَّلُ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ.

18 and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;

١٨ وَالصَّفُّ الثَّانِي: بَهْرَمَانٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ.

19 and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst;

١٩ وَالصَّفُّ الثَّالِثُ: عَيْنُ الهِرِّ وَيَشْمٌ وَجَمَشْتٌ.

20 and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper; they are embroidered with gold in their settings,

٢٠ وَالصَّفُّ الرَّابعُ: زَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشَبٌ، وَتُؤَطِّرُهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَطْوَاقٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ فِي تَرْصِيعِهَا.

21 and the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, [as] engravings of a signet, each with his name; they are for the twelve tribes.

٢١ وَتَنْقُشُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ اسْمَ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ نَقْشِ الْخَاتَمِ الْمَحْفُورَةِ عَلَيْهِ أَسْمَاءُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطاً.

22 And you have made wreathed chains on the breastplate, [the] work of thick bands of pure gold;

٢٢ وَاصْنَعْ عَلَى الصُّدْرَةِ سَلاسِلَ مَبْرُومَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مِثْلَ الْحَبْلِ الْمَضْفُورِ.

23 and you have made two rings of gold on the breastplate, and have put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;

٢٣ وَتَضَعُ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

24 and you have put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate;

٢٤ وَتَجْعَلُ ضَفِيرَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ فِي الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ.

25 and you put the two ends of the two thick bands on the two filigrees, and you have put [them] on the shoulders of the ephod toward the front of its face.

٢٥ كَمَا تُدْخِلُ طَرَفَيِ الضَّفِيرَتَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ فِي الطَّوْقَيْنِ، وَتَجْعَلُهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ.

26 And you have made two rings of gold, and have set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] toward the side of the ephod within it;

٢٦ وَتَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَتُثَبِّتُهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُلاصِقَةِ لِلرِّدَاءِ.

27 and you have made two rings of gold, and have put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, from beneath, in front of its face, close by its joining, above the girdle of the ephod,

٢٧ كَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَتَضَعُهُمَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِ كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ عِنْدَ مَكَانِ الْوَصْلِ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ.

28 and they bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.

٢٨ وَتَرْبِطُ حَلْقَتَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ إِلَى حَلْقَتَيِ الرِّدَاءِ بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ لِتَثْبُتَ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا لَا تُنْتَزَعُ الصُّدْرَةُ عَنِ الرِّدَاءِ.

29 And Aaron has borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going into the holy place, for a memorial before YHWH continually.

٢٩ فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ، تَذْكَاراً دَائِماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ

30 And you have put the Lights and the Perfections into the breastplate of judgment, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before YHWH, and Aaron has borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before YHWH continually.

٣٠ وَتَضَعُ أَيْضاً فِي صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ «الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ» لِيَحْمِلَهَا هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَهَكَذَا يَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً رَمْزَ قَضَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

31 And you have made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,

٣١ أَمَّا الْجُبَّةُ فَتَصْنَعُهَا كُلَّهَا مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ،

32 and the opening for his head has been in its midst; there is a border for its opening all around—the work of a weaver—[and] there is as the opening of a [linen] habergeon for it; it is not torn.

٣٢ لَهَا فَتْحَةٌ لِلرَّأْسِ فِي وَسَطِهَا، ذَاتُ حَاشِيَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةٍ، صِنَاعَةِ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ. عَلَى غِرَارِ فَتْحَةِ الْقَمِيصِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ لَا تَتَمَزَّقَ،

33 And you have made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem all around, and bells of gold in their midst all around;

٣٣ وَتَتَدَلَّى مِنْ هُدْبِهَا رُمَّانَاتٌ زَرْقَاءُ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةٌ وَحَمْرَاءُ، وَتُعَلِّقُ بَيْنَهَا أَجْرَاساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

34 a bell of gold and a pomegranate [and] a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe all around.

٣٤ فَيَكُونُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رُمَّانَتَيْنِ جَرَسٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا جَمِيعَهَا عَلَى أَذْيَالِ الْجُبَّةِ.

35 And it has been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound has been heard in his coming into the holy place before YHWH, and in his going out, and he does not die.

٣٥ فَيَرْتَدِي هَرُونُ الْجُبَّةَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ لِلْخِدْمَةِ، فَتُسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتُهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ، لَئِلا يَمُوتَ.

36 And you have made a flower of pure gold, and have engraved engravings of a signet on it: Holy to YHWH;

٣٦ وَاصْنَعْ صَفِيحَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَاحْفُرْ عَلَيْهَا كَالْحَفْرِ عَلَى خَاتَمٍ: «قُدْسٌ للرَّبِّ»

37 and you have put it on a blue ribbon, and it has been on the turban—it is toward the front of the face of the turban;

٣٧ وَثَبِّتْهَا بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عِمَامَةِ هَرُونَ،

38 and it has been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron has borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it has been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before YHWH.

٣٨ فَتَكُونَ دَائِماً عَلَى جَبْهَةِ هَرُونَ، فَيَحْمِلَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وِزْرَ أَخْطَائِهِمْ فِي تَقْدِمَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي يُخَصِّصُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ. وَعَلَى هَرُونَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّمَ بِها دَائِماً عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ.

39 And you have embroidered the coat of linen, and have made a turban of linen, and you make a girdle—the work of an embroiderer.

٣٩ وَتَصْنَعُ قَمِيصَ هَرُونَ الْمُخَرَّمَ وَعِمَامَتَهُ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ كَتَّانِيٍّ، أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَتُطَرِّزُهُ تَطْرِيزَ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ.

40 And you make coats for the sons of Aaron, and you have made girdles for them, and you make caps for them, for glory and for beauty;

٤٠ وَكَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ لِبَنِي هَرُونَ أَقْمِصَةً وَأَحْزِمَةً، وَقَلانِسَ لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

41 and you have clothed your brother Aaron with them, and his sons with him, and have anointed them, and have consecrated their hand, and have sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.

٤١ وَتُلْبِسُهَا هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ. ثُمَّ امْسَحْهُمْ بِزَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَكَرِّسْهُمْ لِلْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها، وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

42 And make linen trousers for them to cover the naked flesh; they are from the loins even to the thighs;

٤٢ وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سَرَاوِيلَ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ لِسَتْرِ الْعَوْرَةِ، تَصِلُ مِنَ الْحَقْوَيْنِ إِلَى الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ.

43 and they have been on Aaron and on his sons in their going into the Tent of Meeting, or in their drawing near to the altar to minister in the holy place, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; [it is] a continuous statute to him and to his seed after him.”

٤٣ فَيَلْبَسُهَا هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ تَحْتَ قُمْصَانِهِمْ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَخْدِمُوا فِي القُدْسِ، لِئَلّا يُخْطِئُوا فَيَمُوتُوا. هَذَا فَرْضٌ دَائِمٌ عَلَى هَرُونَ وَنَسْلِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.
