Exodus 28

1 And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.

“Pea te ke ʻomi kiate Ko e ho taʻokete ko ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha mo ia, mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ngāue ia kiate au ʻi he ngāue ʻae taulaʻeiki, ʻio, ʻa ʻElone, mo Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone.

2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu tapu ki ho taʻokete ko ʻElone ke fakaʻeiʻeiki mo matamatalelei.

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.

Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto poto, ʻaia kuo u fakafonu ʻaki ʻae laumālie poto, koeʻuhi ke nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu ʻo ʻElone, ke fakatapui ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat 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.

Pea ko e ngaahi kofu ʻeni te nau ngaohi; ko e sīfafatafata, mo e ʻefoti, mo e kofu fakatōtōlofa mo e kofu kuo fakanikonikoʻi, mo e tatā, mo e noʻo: pea te nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu tapu kia ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, mo hono ngaahi foha, koeʻuhi ke ngāue ia kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

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

“Pea te nau toʻo ʻae koula mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale.

6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the cunning workman.

Pea te nau ngaohi ʻae ʻefoti ʻaki ʻae koula, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, ʻi he ngāue fakapotopoto.

7 It shall have two shoulderpieces joined to the two ends thereof; that it may be joined together.

Ko hono potu ʻe ua ʻi he uma ʻe fakahoko fakataha ʻi hono kapa; pea ʻe hoko ʻo fakataha ia.

8 And the cunningly woven band, which is upon it, to gird it on withal, shall be like the work thereof [and] of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

Pea ko e noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia, ʻo fakatatau ki hono ngaohi: ʻio, ʻae koula, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale.

9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

Pea te ke toʻo ʻae maka ʻoniki ʻe ua, ʻo tohi tongi ki ai ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:

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.

Ke ʻi he maka ʻe taha ʻae hingoa ʻe ono, mo e hingoa ʻe ono ke ʻi he maka ʻe taha, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau hohoko.

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 enclosed in ouches of gold.

Te ke tongitongi ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ongo maka, ʻaki ʻae ngāue ʻae tufunga tongi maka, pea hangē ko e tongitongi ʻoe mama; te ke ngaohi ia ke maʻu ʻi he ʻaiʻanga koula.

12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces 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.

Pea te ke ʻai ʻae maka ʻe ua ki he uma ʻoe ʻefoti ko e ongo maka fakamanatu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ʻe fua honau hingoa ʻe ʻElone ʻi hono uma ʻe ua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e meʻa fakamanatu.

13 And thou shalt make ouches of gold:

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ongo fakamaʻu koula;

14 and two chains of pure gold; like cords shalt thou make them, of wreathen work: and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the ouches.

Mo e seini koula haohaoa ʻe ua ʻi hono mui ʻe ua; te ke ngaohi ia ʻi he ngāue fihifihi, pea fakamaʻu ʻae ongo seini fihifihi ki he ongo fakamaʻu.

15 And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the cunning 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.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae sīfafatafata ʻoe fakamaʻu ʻi he ngāue fakapotopoto; te ke ngaohi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻae ʻefoti: ʻi he koula, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale te ke ngaohi ʻaki ia.

16 Foursquare it shall be [and] double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.

‌ʻE tatau pe hono potu ʻe fā ʻoka pelu ua; ko e hanga pe taha hono lōloa ʻo ia, mo e hanga pe taha hono māukupu ʻo ia.

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

Pea te ke fakamaʻu ki ai ke fono ʻi ai ʻae ʻotu maka ʻe fā: ko hono ʻuluaki ʻotu ko e satio, mo e topasi, mo e kapukeli: ko hono ʻuluaki ʻotu ia.

18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

Ko hono ua ʻoe ʻotu ko e ʻemalata, mo e safaia, mo e taiamoni.

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

Pea ko hono tolu ʻoe ʻotu ko e likua, mo e ʻaketi, mo e ʻametisi.

20 and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

Pea ko hono fā ʻoe ʻotu, ko e pelili, mo e ʻoniki, mo e sasipa: ʻe ʻai ʻaki ia ʻae koula ki honau ngaahi tuʻunga.

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.

Pea ʻe ʻi he maka ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakatatau ki honau hingoa, ʻo hangē ko e tongitongi ʻoe mama: ʻe tuʻutaki taha mo hono hingoa ʻo fakatatau mo honau faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua.

22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata ʻae seini ʻoe koula haohaoa ʻoe ngāue fihifihi.

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.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻi he sīfafatafata ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, pea ke ʻai ʻae kavei ʻe ua ki he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata.

24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

Pea te ke ʻai ʻae seini koula fihifihi ʻe ua ʻi he kavei ʻe ua ʻoku ʻi he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata.

25 And the [other] two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof.

Pea ko hono potu kehe ʻe ua ʻoe seini fihifihi te ke fakamaʻu ki he fakamaʻu, ʻo tuku ia ki he potu ʻe ua ʻoe uma ʻi he ʻefoti ʻi hono ʻao.

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.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, pea ʻai ia ki he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata ʻi hono kapa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻoe ʻefoti ki loto,

27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulderpieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the cunningly woven band of the ephod.

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, ʻo ʻai ia ki he potu ʻe ua ʻoe ʻefoti ʻi lalo, ʻo ofi ki hono potu ki ʻao, ʻo hangatonu atu ki he fakamaʻu ʻe taha, ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti.

28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the cunningly woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

Pea te nau nonoʻo ʻae sīfafatafata ʻaki ʻa hono ngaahi kavei ki he kavei ʻe ua ʻoe ʻefoti, ʻaki ʻae noʻo lanumoana, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ʻolunga ia ʻi he noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti, pea koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa vete ʻae sīfafatafata mei he ʻefoti.

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.

Pea ʻe fua ʻe ʻElone ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he sīfafatafata ʻoe fakamaʻu ʻi hono loto, ʻoka ʻalu ia ki he potu māʻoniʻoni, ko e fakamanatu maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea te ke ʻai ʻi he sīfafatafata ʻoe fakamaau, ʻae ʻUlimi mo e Tumemi: pea te na ʻi he loto ʻo ʻElone, ʻi heʻene hū ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe fua maʻuaipē ʻe ʻElone ʻi hono loto ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae fakamaauʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ke ʻosi ʻae kofu ʻoe ʻefoti ʻaki ʻae lanumoana.

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.

Pea ʻe ʻai hono ava ʻi ʻolunga ki loto pea ʻe ʻai ʻae tākai ki he ava ʻoe meʻa kuo fi, ʻo hangē ko e ava ʻoe kofutuʻa, telia naʻa mahae ia.

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:

Pea ʻi hono kapa ki lalo ke ke ngaohi hono teunga ke hangē ko e fuaʻi ʻakau, ʻoe lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, ke tuʻu takatakai ʻi hono kapa; mo e ngaahi fafangu koula ʻi honau vahaʻa ʻo takatakai.

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.

Ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ʻi he kapa ʻoe kofu ʻo takatakai.

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.

Pea ʻe ʻai ia kia ʻElone ke fai ʻae tauhi: pea ʻe ongona hono kini ʻoka hū atu ia ki he potu māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi heʻene haʻu kituʻa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia.

36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO THE LORD.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae pale ʻoe koula haohaoa, pea tohi tongi ki ai, ʻo hangē ko e tongi ʻoe mama, KO E MĀʻONIʻONI KIA SIHOVA.

37 And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

Pea ʻe ʻai ia ki he noʻo lanumoana, koeʻuhi ke ʻi he tatā ia; ʻe ʻai ia ki he muʻa tatā.

38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

Pea ʻe ʻi he laʻē ia ʻo ʻElone, koeʻuhi ke fua ʻe ʻElone ʻae hia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku fakatapui ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē; pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ia ki hono laʻē, koeʻuhi ke lelei ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

39 And thou shalt weave the coat 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 embroiderer.

“Pea te ke ʻai ʻae tuitui ki he kofu ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, mo ke ngaohi ʻae tatā ʻaki ʻae tupenu tuʻovalevale, pea ke ngaohi hono noʻo ʻaki ʻae ngāue ʻoe tuitui.

40 And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and headtires shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu maʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, pea ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi noʻo moʻonautolu, mo ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tatā moʻonautolu, ke fakaʻeiʻeiki pea ke matamatalelei.

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.

Pea ke ʻai ia kia ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, pea ki hono ngaahi foha mo ia; pea te ke tākai ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakanofo ʻakinautolu, pea fakatapui ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

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:

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu vaʻe moʻonautolu ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau telefua: te nau hifo mei he noʻotangavala ki he ʻateʻivaʻe:

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.

Pea ʻe ʻai ia kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻoka nau ka haʻu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pe ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, ke tauhi ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni; telia naʻa nau fai hala, pea mate ai; ko e fekau tuʻumaʻu ʻeni kiate ia, pea ki hono hako ʻamui ʻiate ia.
