Exodus 28
1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
“Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmammarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar na te wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ nsom me.
2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.
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 You shall speak to all who 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 to me in the priest's office.
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 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.
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 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 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.
“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 straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.
Wɔbɛpam no asinasini mmienu a ɛyɛ animu ne akyire a wɔapam ne mmatire no so abɔ mu.
8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Abɔwomu no bɛyɛ ntoma korɔ no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ nsaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan.
9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
“Fa apopobibirieboɔ mmienu na twerɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo 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, in the order of their birth.
Aboɔdenboɔ biara, wɔntwerɛ edin nsia ngu so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bɛdidi so mpanin mu.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.
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 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD on his two shoulders for a memorial.
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 You shall make settings of gold,
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim mmienu.
14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings.
Na fa mmobareeɛ mmienu a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare mfomfamho a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so no mu.
15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.
“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 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.
Montwa ntomasini no ahinanan na ɛfa biara nyɛ nsateakwaa nkron na mompam mfam so mma ɛnyɛ sɛ kotokuo.
17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be 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 turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ nsrammaboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ ne dɛnkyɛmmoɔ.
19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonoboɔ, mfrafraeɛboɔ ne beredumboɔ.
20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.
Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so nan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛboɔ, apopobibirieboɔ ne ahwehwɛboɔ. Sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
21 The stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.
Aboɔdemmoɔ no baako biara bɛgyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuo no baako. Na wɔbɛtwerɛ abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔanodeɛ.
22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.
“Ɛkwan a mobɛfa so de adaaboɔ no afam asɔfotadeɛ no mu nie: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ,
23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
na yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu, na fa tare adaaboɔ no apampam twɛtwɛwa so;
24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ mmienu no bɛhyehyɛ adaaboɔ no nkawa mmienu no mu.
25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.
Nhoma mmienu no a aka no, kyekyere biara ti bɔ sikakɔkɔɔ no a ɛbɔ asɔfotadeɛ no abatiri so no mu.
26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
Yɛ sika nkawa mmienu na fa hyehyɛ adaaboɔ ntwea mmienu a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no nkyɛn mu.
27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
Sane yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu hyehyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka abɔwomu no.
28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.
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 Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate for judging over his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, as a continual reminder before God.
“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 You are to put in the breastplate for judging the Urim and the Thummim; and they are to be over Aaron's heart, when he goes in before the LORD. And Aaron will carry the means to make decisions for the children of Israel over his heart before the LORD continually.
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 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
“Wɔde ntoma tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotadeɛ no
32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.
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 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:
Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nnɔmma ne ateaa aba a ɛdi afrafra twa asɔfotadeɛ no mmuano ho hyia.
35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before the LORD, and when he comes out, that he not die.
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 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO THE LORD.'
“Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ma ɛnyɛ trawa sɛ prɛte na twerɛ so sɛdeɛ wɔkurukyire nsɔanodeɛ so no sɛ: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.
Wɔde ntoma tuntum bɛsɔ mu asensɛn Aaron abotire no anim.
38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
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 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.
“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.
40 "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.
Pam atadeɛ yuu ne abɔwomu ne abotire ma Aaron mmammarima na momfa obuo ne anidie mma wɔn.
41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
Saa ntadeɛ yi na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima na momfa ngo ngu wɔn tirim mfa nhyɛ wɔn asɔfoɔ wɔ ɔsom no mu, na momfa nte wɔn ho sɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ me dea.
42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:
“Mompam serekye ntadeɛ a ɛfiri wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ no agu so.
43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they do not bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
Ɛberɛ biara a Aaron ne ne mmammarima no rekɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ anaasɛ wɔrekɔ afɔrebukyia no anim wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔnhyɛ. Anyɛ saa a, afɔbuo bɛba wɔn so ma wɔawuwu. “Yei yɛ daa apam a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmammarima.
