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.
“Solalma Aaron, tamulel lom, ac wen natul — Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar ac Ithamar. Srelosla liki mwet Israel uh tuh elos in kulansupweyu ke orekma lun mwet tol.
2 [Tell the people to] make beautiful clothes for Aaron, clothes that are [suitable for one who] has this dignified and sacred [work].
Orala nuknuk in mwet tol lal Aaron, tamulel lom, ma in sang akkalemye mutal ac wolana lun orekma lun mwet tol.
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.
Pangoneni mwet pah in orekma nukewa su nga sang etauk nu se, ac fahk nu selos in orala nuknuk lal Aaron, tuh elan sriyukla nu sik nu ke kunokon lun sie mwet tol.
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.
Fahk nu selos in orala sie mwe loeyuk iniwa, sie nuknuk lun mwet tol pangpang ephod, sie nuknuk loeloes, sie nuknuk loac yunla ke mwe akul, sie nuknuk in lohl insuf, ac sie mwe lohl infulwa. Elos in orala nuknuk in mwet tol inge lal Aaron, tamulel lom, ac wen natul, tuh elos in kulansupweyu ke kunokon lun mwet tol.
5 The skilled workmen must use fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make these clothes.”
Mwet usrnguk in orekma inge fah orekmakin unen sheep ngosla folfol, sroninmutuk ac srusra, turet gold, ac linen srik eoa.
6 “The skilled workmen must make the sacred apron from fine linen, and skillfully embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
“Elos in orala nuknuk ephod sac ke unen sheep ma tuhn folfol, sroninmutuk ac srusra, turet gold, ac linen srik eoa, naweyuk ke mwe akul.
7 It must have two shoulder straps, to join the front part to the back part.
Sang luo mwe sruh nu finpisa in sruokani siska luo an.
8 A carefully-woven sash, which must be made from the same materials as the sacred apron, must be [sewn] onto the sacred apron.
Sie mwe lohl infulwa ma naweyukla arulana wo orekla pacna ke mwe yun inge in tufah itukyang nu ke ephod sac in orala lumah sefanna.
9 [A skilled workman] must take two [expensive] onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
Eis luo eot onyx ac kihlisya inen wen singoul luo natul Jacob fac,
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.
fal nu ke takin matwalos — ine onkosr fin sie eot an, ac onkosr fin sie.
11 A gem-cutter should engrave these names on the stones. Then he should enclose the stones in (settings/tiny gold frames).
Sang sie mwet pisrla ke kihlisyen mwe naweyuk in oru kihl ke inen wen natul Jacob fin eot luo an, ac sang nu ke frem ma orekla ke gold.
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).
Filiya ke mwe sruh finpisa ke nuknuk ephod sac in mwe esmakinyen sruf singoul luo lun Israel. In ouiya se inge Aaron el ac fah us inelos finpisal, tuh nga, LEUM GOD, fah esam mwet luk pacl nukewa.
13 The settings for the stones must be made from gold.
Orala luo pac frem gold
14 [Tell them to] make two tiny chains that are braided like cords, and fasten the chains to the settings.”
ac lukwa sein ke gold nasnas, pirakla oana luman fu, ac kapsreni nu ke frem luo ah.
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.
“Orala sie mwe loeyuk iniwa lun Mwet Tol Fulat, elan ku in orekmakin in akilen ma lungse lun God. In orekla pacna ke kain mwe naweyuk ma sang oru nuknuk ephod lun mwet tol, ac in luman mwe akul sac pacna.
16 It is to be square, and the material must be folded double, so that it is (9 in./22 cm.) on each side.
Lumwani pacl se in maspangla — inch eu lusa ac inch eu sralap.
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.
Filiya tah akosr ke eot saok fac: ke tah soko oemeet sang sie eot ruby, sie eot topaz, ac sie eot garnet.
18 In the second row he must put a [green] emerald, a [blue] sapphire, and a [clear/white] diamond.
Tah soko aklukwa ah, sie eot emerald, sie eot sapphire, ac sie eot diamond.
19 In the third row he must put a [red] jacinth, a [white] agate, and a [purple] amethyst.
Ke tah soko aktolkwe, sie eot turquoise, sie eot agate, ac sie eot amethyst.
20 In the fourth row he must put a [yellow] beryl, a [red] carnelian, and a [green] jasper.
Ac tah soko akakosr ah, sie eot beryl, sie eot onyx, ac sie eot jasper. Eot inge nukewa in filiyuki ke frem gold.
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.
Eot singoul luo inge in kihlyak inen kais sie wen natul Jacob fac, in fahkak sruf singoul luo lun Israel.
22 The two [chains] that are made from pure gold and braided like cords are for [attaching] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].
Orala sein ke gold nasnas, pirakela in oana luman fu israpla, tuh in oan ke mwe loeyuk iniwa sac.
23 [The workman must] make two gold rings, and attach them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.
Orala luo ring gold ac sang nu ke sruwasrik luo lucng ke mwe loeyuk iniwa sac,
24 [He must make] two gold cords, and fasten one end of each cord to one of the rings.
ac srupusrang sein gold lukwa ah nu ke ring luo ah.
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.
Kapriya mutun sein lukwa ah nu ke frem luo uh, ac in lumah se inge kom fah kapsreni nu ke layen meet ke mwe sruh finpisa ma oan ke nuknuk ephod sac.
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.
Na orala luo ring gold an ac sang nu ke sruwasrik luo ten ke mwe loeyuk iniwa sac, in oan layen loac sisken nuknuk ephod uh.
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.
Orala pac luo ring gold ac sang nu ke layen ten ke acn meet ke mwe sruh luo nu ke finpisa ke nuknuk ephod sac, in oan apkuran ac lucng kutu liki acn se mwe lohl infulwa sac kupasryang nu ke ephod uh.
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.
Kapriya ring ke mwe loeyuk iniwa, nu ke ring ke ephod uh ke soko ah folfol, tuh mwe loeyuk iniwa sac fah oan lucng liki mwe lohl infulwa uh, tuh in tia putatla liki ephod uh.
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]).
“Ke pacl Aaron el ac utyak nu in Acn Mutal, el fah nokomang mwe loeyuk iniwa se inge su kihlyak ke inen sruf lun Israel, tuh nga, LEUM GOD, fah esam mwet luk pacl nukewa.
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.”
Filiya Urim ac Thummim ke mwe loeyuk iniwa sac, tuh in oan iniwal Aaron ke pacl el utyak nu ye mutuk. Pacl nukewa el enenu in nukum mwe loeyuk iniwa se inge, tuh elan ku in kalem ke ma lungse luk nu sin mwet Israel.
31 “[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.
“Nuknuk loeloes se ma oan ye ephod, in orekla nufonna ke unen sheep ngosla folfol.
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.
In oasr kwawa se kac nu ke insifa, ac kwawa se inge in pwiyukla ke sie pac nuknuk tuh in tia mihsalik.
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.
Nu ke pikinnia kom fah sang unen sheep tuhn folfol, sroninmutuk, ac srusra ma orekla oana luman fokinsak pomegranate, wi tapweng srisrik gold in oan inmasrlo, rauneak nufon pikinnien nuknuk sac —
34 Between each of these decorations, they must fasten a tiny gold bell.
tapweng gold se, pomegranate se, tapweng gold se, pomegranate se, atupali rauneak pikinnien nuknuk loeloes sac.
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].
Aaron elan nukum nuknuk loeloes se inge ke pacl el oru kulansap lun mwet tol. Pacl el utyak ku illa liki ye mutuk in Acn Mutal, pusren tapweng inge ac lohngyuk, na el ac fah tia anwuki.
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.’
“Orala sie mwe yun ke gold nasnas, ac kihlisya kas inge fac: ‘Kisakinyukyang Nu Sin LEUM GOD.’
37 They should fasten this ornament to the front of the turban by a blue cord.
Sang soko ah folfol kapriya nu ke acn meet ke nuknuk in lohl insuf.
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.
Aaron elan sunya motonsrol, tuh mwet Israel fin tafongla ke elos orek kisa nu sik, mwatalos ac fah oan facl Aaron, ac nga, LEUM GOD, fah eis mwe kisa lalos nukewa.
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].
“Otwela sie nuknuk loac lal Aaron ac sie mwe lohl insuf ke linen srik eoa, oayapa sie mwe lohl infulwa yuniyukla ke mwe akul.
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.
“Orala nuknuk loac, mwe lohl infulwa, ac mwe lohl insuf lun wen natul Aaron, in fahkak fulat ac wolana lalos.
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.
Nokmulang Aaron, tamulel lom, ac wen natul ke nuknuk inge. Na akmusraelosla ac akmutalyalos ke kom mosrwelosla ke oil in olive, tuh elos fah ku in kulansupweyu ke orekma lun mwet tol.
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.
Orek loeyuk linen lalos, ke infulwalosi nu finyepalos, tuh elos fah tia koflufol.
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.”
Aaron ac wen natul fah nukum ma inge pacl nukewa ke elos ac ilyak nu ye mutuk nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, ku ke pacl elos kalukyang nu ke loang uh in oru kulansap lun mwet tol in Acn Mutal, tuh elos in tia anwuki ke sripen liyeyuk koflufol lalos. Oakwuk se inge ma nu sel Aaron ac fwilin tulik natul nwe tok.
