Exodus 28
1 “Summon your [older] brother Aaron and his sons—Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ([Set them apart/They are the ones whom I have chosen]) from [the rest of] the Israeli people, in order that they can serve me [by being] priests.
「你要從以色列人中，使你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪一同就近你，給我供祭司的職分。

你要給你哥哥亞倫做聖衣為榮耀，為華美。
3 Talk to all the skilled workmen, those to whom I have given special ability. [Tell them] to make clothes for Aaron, for him to wear when he is (set apart/dedicated) [to become] a priest to serve me.
又要吩咐一切心中有智慧的，就是我用智慧的靈所充滿的，給亞倫做衣服，使他分別為聖，可以給我供祭司的職分。
4 These are the clothes that they are to make: A sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest, a sacred apron, a robe, an embroidered tunic/gown, a (turban/cloth to wrap around his head), and a sash/waistband. These are the clothes that your [older] brother Aaron and his sons must wear as they serve me [by doing the work that] priests do.

8 A carefully-woven sash, which must be made from the same materials as the sacred apron, must be [sewn] onto the sacred apron.
其上巧工織的帶子，要和以弗得一樣的做法，用以束上，與以弗得接連一塊，要用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線，並撚的細麻做成。
9 [A skilled workman] must take two [expensive] onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
要取兩塊紅瑪瑙，在上面刻以色列兒子的名字：
10 He must engrave the names in the order in which Jacob’s sons were born. He must engrave six names on one stone, and the other six names on the other stone.
六個名字在這塊寶石上，六個名字在那塊寶石上，都照他們生來的次序。
11 A gem-cutter should engrave these names on the stones. Then he should enclose the stones in (settings/tiny gold frames).
要用刻寶石的手工，彷彿刻圖書，按着以色列兒子的名字，刻這兩塊寶石，要鑲在金槽上。
12 Then he should fasten the stones onto the shoulder straps [of the sacred apron], to represent the twelve Israeli tribes. In that way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes on his shoulders in order that [I], Yahweh, will never forget [my people] (OR, in order that [he will always] remember that [those tribes belong to] Yahweh).

13 The settings for the stones must be made from gold.
要用金子做二槽，

又拿精金，用擰工彷彿擰繩子，做兩條鍊子，把這擰成的鍊子搭在二槽上。」
15 “[Tell the skilled workman to] make a sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest. [He will use the things he puts into the pouch] to determine [my answers to the questions he asks]. It must be made of the same materials as the sacred apron, and embroidered in the same way.
「你要用巧匠的手工做一個決斷的胸牌。要和以弗得一樣的做法：用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線，並撚的細麻做成。
16 It is to be square, and the material must be folded double, so that it is (9 in./22 cm.) on each side.
這胸牌要四方的，疊為兩層，長一虎口，寬一虎口。
17 [The skilled workman must] fasten four rows of valuable stones onto the pouch. In the first row he must put a [red] ruby, a [yellow] topaz, and a [red] garnet.

21 A gem-cutter should engrave on each of these twelve stones the name of one of the sons of Jacob. These names will represent the twelve Israeli tribes.
這些寶石都要按着以色列十二個兒子的名字，彷彿刻圖書，刻十二個支派的名字。
22 The two [chains] that are made from pure gold and braided like cords are for [attaching] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].

要把那兩條擰成的金鍊子，穿過胸牌兩頭的環子。
25 He must fasten the other end of each cord to the two settings [that enclose the stones]. In that way, the sacred pouch will be attached to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron.
又要把鍊子的那兩頭接在兩槽上，安在以弗得前面肩帶上。
26 Then [he must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower corners of the sacred pouch, on the inside edges, next to the sacred apron.
要做兩個金環，安在胸牌的兩頭，在以弗得裏面的邊上。
27 [He must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower part of the front of the shoulder straps, near to where [the shoulder straps] are joined [to the sacred apron], just above the carefully-woven sash/waistband.
又要做兩個金環，安在以弗得前面兩條肩帶的下邊，挨近相接之處，在以弗得巧工織的帶子以上。
28 The skilled workman must tie the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch is above the sash/waistband and does not come loose from the sacred apron.
要用藍細帶子把胸牌的環子與以弗得的環子繫住，使胸牌貼在以弗得巧工織的帶子上，不可與以弗得離縫。
29 In that way, Aaron will have the names of the twelve Israeli tribes in the sacred pouch close to his chest when he enters the Holy Place. This will remind him that I, Yahweh, [will never forget my people] (OR, [that he represents my people when he talks to me, Yahweh]).
亞倫進聖所的時候，要將決斷胸牌，就是刻着以色列兒子名字的，帶在胸前，在耶和華面前常作紀念。
30 Put into the sacred pouch the two things that the priest will use to determine my answers to the questions he asks. In that way, they will be close to his chest when he enters [the Holy Place to talk] to me. He will use them to find out what is my will for the Israeli people.”
又要將烏陵和土明放在決斷的胸牌裏；亞倫進到耶和華面前的時候，要帶在胸前，在耶和華面前常將以色列人的決斷牌帶在胸前。」
31 “[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.
「你要做以弗得的外袍，顏色全是藍的。
32 It is to have an opening through which [the priest] can put his head. They must sew a border around this opening, to keep the material from tearing.
袍上要為頭留一領口，口的周圍織出領邊來，彷彿鎧甲的領口，免得破裂。
33 At the lower edge on the robe, they must fasten [decorations that look like] pomegranate fruit. They must be [woven from] blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
袍子周圍底邊上要用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線做石榴。在袍子周圍的石榴中間要有金鈴鐺：
34 Between each of these decorations, they must fasten a tiny gold bell.
一個金鈴鐺一個石榴，一個金鈴鐺一個石榴，在袍子周圍的底邊上。
35 When Aaron enters the Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to do his work as a priest and when he leaves the Sacred Tent, the bells will ring [as he walks]. As a result, he will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
亞倫供職的時候要穿這袍子。他進聖所到耶和華面前，以及出來的時候，袍上的響聲必被聽見，使他不至於死亡。
36 “[Tell them to] make a tiny ornament of pure gold, and tell a (skilled workman/gem-cutter) to engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh.’
「你要用精金做一面牌，在上面按刻圖書之法刻着『歸耶和華為聖』。
37 They should fasten this ornament to the front of the turban by a blue cord.
要用一條藍細帶子將牌繫在冠冕的前面。
38 Aaron must always wear this on his forehead. In that way, Aaron himself will show [that he accepts] the guilt if the Israeli people offer [their sacrifices] to me in a way that is not correct, and I, Yahweh, will accept their sacrifices.
這牌必在亞倫的額上，亞倫要擔當干犯聖物條例的罪孽；這聖物是以色列人在一切的聖禮物上所分別為聖的。這牌要常在他的額上，使他們可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。
39 “[Tell them to] weave the long-sleeved tunic/gown from fine linen. Also, they must make from fine linen a turban and a sash/waistband, and embroider [designs on it].
要用雜色細麻線織內袍，用細麻布做冠冕，又用繡花的手工做腰帶。
40 “[Tell them to] make beautiful long-sleeved tunics/gowns, sashes, and caps for Aaron’s sons. Make ones that will be suitable for those who have this dignified work.
「你要為亞倫的兒子做內袍、腰帶、裹頭巾，為榮耀，為華美。
41 Put these clothes on your [older] brother Aaron and on his sons. Then (set them apart/dedicate them) for this work by anointing them [with olive oil], in order that they may serve me [by being] priests.
要把這些給你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子穿戴，又要膏他們，將他們分別為聖，好給我供祭司的職分。
42 Also [tell them to] make linen undershorts for them. The undershorts should extend from their waists to their thighs, in order that no one can see their private parts.
要給他們做細麻布褲子，遮掩下體；褲子當從腰達到大腿。
43 Aaron and his sons must always wear those undershorts when they enter the Sacred Tent or when they come near to the altar to offer sacrifices in the Holy Place. If they do not obey this command, I will cause them to die. Aaron and all his male descendants must obey this rule forever.”
亞倫和他兒子進入會幕，或就近壇，在聖所供職的時候必穿上，免得擔罪而死。這要為亞倫和他的後裔作永遠的定例。」
