Exodus 28

1 Thou thyself, therefore bring near unto thee—Aaron thy brother and his sons with him out of the midst of the sons of Israel, that they may minister as priests unto me, —Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar sons of Aaron.

Tangohia mai ano ki a koe a Arona, tou tuakana, ratou ko ana tama i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, hei tohunga maku, a Arona ratou ko Natapa, ko Apihu, ko Ereatara, ko Itamara, nga tama a Arona.

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

Me hanga ano e koe etahi kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo tou tuakana, hei kororia, hei ataahua.

3 Thou thyself, therefore, shalt speak unto all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, —and they shall make Aaron’s garments, to hallow him for ministering as priest unto me.

Me korero ano e koe ki nga ngakau mohio katoa, ki aku i whakaki ai ki te wairua mohio, kia hanga e ratou nga kakahu mo Arona, mo tona whakatapunga, mo tana mahi tohunga ki ahau.

4 These, therefore are the garments which they shall make—a breastpiece, and an ephod and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a turban and a girdle, —so shall they make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and for his sons, for ministering as priests unto me.

A ko nga kakahu enei e hanga e ratou; he kouma, he epora, he koroka, he koti whakairo, he potae tohunga, he whitiki: na me hanga etahi kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo tou tuakana, ratou ko ana tama, mo tana mahi tohunga ki ahau.

5 They themselves, therefore, shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple, —and the crimson, and the fine linen.

Me tango hoki he koura, he puru, he papura, he ngangana, he rinea pai.

6 And they shall make the ephod, —of gold, blue and purple crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of a skilful weaver.

A ka hanga te epora ki te koura, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai; kia tohunga rawa te mahi.

7 Two joining shoulderpieces, shall there be to it upon the two extremities thereof that it may be joined together,

Kia rua nga wahi i nga pokohiwi, he mea hono ki a raua i nga pito e rua; kia kotahi ai.

8 And the curious band for fastening it, that is upon it, like the work thereof of the same, shall it be, —of gold blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen,

A, ko te whitiki whakairo o te epora, kia kotahi ano te mea e hanga ai raua, kia rite hoki to raua hanganga; he mea koura, puru, papura, ngangana, rinena miro pai.

9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, —and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel:

Me tango ano e koe nga kohatu onika e rua, ka tuhi ai i nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki aua mea:

10 six of their names, on the one stone, —and the names of the six that remain, on the second stone according to their births:

Kia ono nga ingoa o ratou ki tetahi kohatu, me era ingoa atu hoki e ono ki tetahi atu kohatu; kia rite ki o ratou whanautanga.

11 with the work of a stone engraver, like seal-ring engravings, shalt thou engrave the two stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, —to be encircled with settings of gold, shalt thou make them.

Hei te mahi a te kaituhi kohatu tau tuhi i nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki nga kohatu e rua, kia rite ki te tuhinga o te hiri: me mea e koe kia whakanohoia aua mea ki nga nohoanga koura.

12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, —so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.

A me whakanoho e koe nga kohatu e rua ki nga pokohiwi o te epora, hei kohatu whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira: a ka mau o ratou ingoa ki runga ki nga pokohiwi e rua o Arona i te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakamahara.

13 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;

Me hanga ano e koe nga nohoanga kohatu ki te koura;

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

Me nga mekameka koura parakore e rua; me whiri tau mahinga i aua mea, ka whakau ai i nga mekameka whiri ki nga nohoanga.

15 And thou shalt make a breastpiece for giving sentence the work of a skilful weaver, like the work of the ephod, shalt thou make it, of gold, blue, and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, shalt thou make it.

Kia tohunga rawa te hanga o te kouma whakawa, kia rite tau mahinga ki te mahinga o te epora; me hanga e koe taua mea ki te koura, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai.

16 Four-square, shall it be double, —a span the length thereof and a span the breadth thereof.

Kia wha ona taha, me rererua; kia kotahi whanganga a te ringa tona roa, kia kotahi whanganga hoki a te ringa tona whanui.

17 And thou shalt set therein a setting of stones, four rows of stones, —one row—a sardius, a topaz and an emerald, the first row;

Me whakanoho ano ki taua mea etahi nohoanga kohatu; kia wha nga rarangi kohatu: mo te rarangi tuatahi he harariu, he topaha, he kapakara: ko te rarangi tuatahi tenei.

18 and the second row a carbuncle a sapphire and a diamond;

Mo te rarangi tuarua he emerara, he hapaira, he taimana.

19 and the third row an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

Mo te rarangi tuatoru he rikuri, he akete, he ametihita.

20 and the fourth row, a Tarshish stone, a sardonyx, and a jasper, —enclosed with gold, shall they be when they are set.

Mo te rarangi tuawha he perira, he onika, he hahapa: me whakanoho ki te koura ki te wahi e mau ai.

21 And the stones shall be after the names of the sons of Israel—twelve, after their names, —as the engravings of a seal-ring everyone after his name, shall they be, for the twelve tribes,

Na ka tekau ma rua nga kohatu me nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira; ko te maha kei o ratou ingoa; ko te tuhi hei o te hiri, tenei tangata me tona ingoa, tenei tangata me tona ingoa, rite tonu ki nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua.

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

Me hanga ano e koe ki te koura parakore etahi mekameka, he mahi whiri, mo te kouma, mo nga pito.

23 And thou shalt make, upon the breastpiece, two rings of gold, —and thou shalt place the two rings, upon the two ends of the breastpiece.

Me hanga ano e koe etahi mowhiti koura kia rua mo te kouma, ka whakanoho ai i nga mowhiti e rua ki nga pito e rua o te kouma.

24 And thou shalt hang the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings, —upon the ends of the breastpiece;

Me whakau ano nga mekameka koura, nga mea whiri, ki nga mowhiti e rua i nga pito o te kouma.

25 and the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, shalt thou fasten upon the two ouches, so shalt thou hang them upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forefront thereof.

Ko era pito e rua hoki o nga mekameka whiri e rua, me whakau e koe ki nga nohoanga kohatu e rua, ka whakanoho ai ki nga pokohiwi o te epora, ki te taha ki mua.

26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastpiece upon the border thereof, which is on the side of the ephod inwards.

Me hanga ano etahi mowhiti koura kia rua, ka whakanoho ai ki nga pito e rua o te kouma ki tona remu, ki te taha ki roto whaka te epora.

27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and place them upon the two shoulderpieces of the ephod beneath, on the front of the face thereof, over against its joining, above the curious band of the ephod:

Me hanga ano hoki e koe etahi atu mowhiti koura kia rua, ka whakanoho ai ki nga pokohiwi e rua o te epora ki te taha ki raro, ki te taha ki mua, ki te ritenga mai ano o tona hononga, ki runga ake o te whitiki whakairo o te epora.

28 that they may bind the breastpiece by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue, so that it may remain upon the curious band of the ephod, and the breastpiece not be removed from of the ephod.

Me here ano e ratou te kouma, ko ona mowhiti ki nga mowhiti o te epora, ki etahi miro puru, kia mau ai ki runga ake o te whitiki whakairo o te epora, kei takoto ke hoki te kouma i te epora.

29 So shall Aaron bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece for giving sentence upon his heart when he goeth into the holy place, —for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

A ka mau nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki te ngakau o Arona, ara ki te kouma o te whakawa, ina haere ia ki te wahi tapu, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o Ihowa i nga ra katoa.

30 Thus shalt thou place, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, the lights and the perfections, so shall they be upon the heart of Aaron when he goeth in before Yahweh, —so shall Aaron bear the sentence of the sons of Israel, upon his heart before Yahweh continually.

Me whakanoho ano hoki e koe nga Urimi me nga Tumime ki te kouma whakawa; a hei te ngakau o Arona aua mea, ina haere ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ka mau tonu ki te ngakau o Arona te whakawa o nga tama a Iharaira i te aroaro o Ihowa.

31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod wholly of blue;

Me hanga ano e koe te koroka o te epora, hei te puru anake.

32 and the opening for his head shall be in the midst thereof, —a border, shall there be to the opening thereof round about the work of a weaver, like the opening of a coat of mail, shall there be to it, it must not be rent.

Me whakakohao a runga, i waenganui: me whakawhaiwhiri ano ki te mea whatu tona kohao a huri noa, kia rite ki te kohao o te pukupuku, kei pakaru.

33 And thou shalt make upon the skirts thereof pomegranates of blue and purple and crimson, upon the skirts thereof round about—and bells of gold in the midst of them round about:

A i te remu i raro me hanga e koe etahi pamekaranete ki te mea puru, papura, ngangana, hei te remu a huri noa; me etahi pere koura ki nga takiwa o aua mea a huri noa:

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

He pere koura he pamekaranete, he pere koura he pamekaranete, ki te remu o te koroka a huri noa.

35 And it shall be upon Aaron, for ministering, —so shall be heard the sound of him—when he goeth into the holy place, before Yahweh, and cometh out, and dieth not.

A me kakahu taua mea e Arona ina minita: a ka rangona tona tangi ina haere ki roto, ki te wahi tapu, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ina puta mai hoki ki waho kei mate ia.

36 And thou shalt make a burnished plate, of pure gold, —and shalt engrave thereupon, like the engravings of a seal-ring, Holiness to Yahweh.

Me hanga ano e koe tetahi paraharaha ki te koura parakore, tuhia iho, he tuhi hiri ano, HE TAPU KI A IHOWA.

37 And thou shalt put it upon a cord of blue, so shall it be upon the turban, —upon the forefront of the turban, shall it be.

A me whakanoho e koe ki te tau puru, kia mau ai ki te potae tohunga; hei te taha ki mua o te potae.

38 So shall it be upon the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the hallowed things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow, for all their hallowed gift, —and it shall be upon his forehead continually, that there may be acceptance for them before Yahweh.

A ka mau tena ki te rae o Arona, kia mauria ai e Arona te kino o nga mea tapu e whakatapua e nga tama a Iharaira i a ratou hoatutanga tapu katoa; a ka mau tonu tena ki tona rae, kia manakohia ai ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa.

39 And thou shalt weave, in checker work the tunic of fine linen, and shalt make a turban of fine linen, —and, a girdle, shalt thou make the work of an embroiderer.

A me whakairo e koe ki te mumu te koti rinena pai, me hanga ano te potae tohunga ki te rinena pai: hei te mea i hanga ki te ngira te mea e hanga ai e koe te whitiki.

40 And, for the sons of Aaron, shalt thou make tunics, and shalt make for them girdles, —and caps, shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

Me hanga ano etahi koti mo nga tama a Arona, me hanga ano etahi whitiki mo ratou, me hanga hoki etahi potae mo ratou, hei kororia, hei ataahua.

41 And thou shalt clothe therewith Aaron thy brother, and his sons, with him, —and shalt anoint them and install them, and hallow them, so shall they minister as priests unto me.

Ka whakakakahu atu ai ki a Arona, ki tou tuakana, ratou ko ana tama; na ka whakawahi koe i a ratou, ka whakatohunga hoki i a ratou, ka whakatapu hoki i a ratou, kia mahi, tohunga ai ki ahau.

42 And thou shalt make for them breeches of linen, to cover their unseemliness, from the loins even unto the thighs, shall they be;

Me hanga ano etahi tarau rinena mo ratou, hei kakahu mo nga wahi takoto tahanga o ratou; mo te hope a tae noa ki nga huha:

43 so shall they be upon Aaron and upon his sons, when they go into the tent of meeting, or when they approach unto the altar, to minister in the holy place, lest they bear iniquity, and die, —a statute age-abiding, to him and to his seed after him.

A hei kakahu ena mo Arona, mo ana tama, ina haere ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ina whakatata ranei ki te aata, ki te minita i roto i te wahi tapu; kei whai hara, a ka mate: hei tikanga pumau tenei mona, mo ona uri hoki i muri i a ia.
