< Exodus 28 >

1 And take thou to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, 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.
“Tũmanĩra Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa oke harĩwe kuuma gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli, hamwe na ariũ ake Nadabu na Abihu, na Eleazaru na Ithamaru, nĩgeetha mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
Tumĩra Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa nguo nyamũre, cia kũmũnenehagia na kũmũtĩĩithagia.
3 And thou shalt speak to all that are wise in heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Arĩria mabundi marĩa marĩ na ũũgĩ wa gũtuma, nguo arĩa niĩ heete ũũgĩ maũndũ-inĩ ta macio, nĩguo matumĩre Harũni nguo cia kwĩhumba akĩamũrwo, nĩguo andungatagĩre arĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a mitre, and a waistband: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Nacio ici nĩcio nguo iria megũtuma: gakuo ga gĩthũri, na ebodi, na nguo ndaaya, na kanjũ ya taama ngʼemie wega, na kĩremba, na mũcibi. Nguo ici nyamũre megũcitumĩra Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa na ariũ ake nĩguo mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
Nĩ mahũthĩre thahabu, na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, hamwe na gatani ĩrĩa njega.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with skilful work.
“Tuma ebodi ya ndigi cia rangi wa thahabu na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ na ya gatani ĩrĩa yogothetwo wega, wĩra wa mũbundi mũũgĩ.
7 It shall have its two shoulderpieces joined at its two edges; and so it shall be joined together.
Nĩ wega ebodi ĩyo ĩgĩe na tũmĩkwa twĩrĩ twa kũmĩnyiitithanĩria ciande-inĩ, tũtumĩrĩirwo mĩthia-inĩ yeerĩ yayo nĩgeetha ndaamĩ ciayo cierĩ inyiitane.
8 And the beautifully woven band of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Naguo mũcibi wayo wa njohero ũrĩa mũtume wega ũkorwo ũhaana tayo na ũrĩ wa gĩcunjĩ kĩmwe na ebodi ĩyo na ũthondeketwo na ndigi cia rangi wa thahabu, na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, hamwe na gatani njogothe wega.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
“Oya tũhiga twĩrĩ twa onigithi ũkurure marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli igũrũ rĩatuo
10 Six of their names on one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
marũmanĩrĩire ũrĩa maaciarirwo, ũkurure marĩĩtwa matandatũ kahiga-inĩ kamwe, na matandatũ kau kangĩ.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in settings of gold.
Kurura marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli tũhiga-inĩ tũu twĩrĩ ta ũrĩa mũrengi wa tũhiga twa goro akururaga kahengere ga gwĩkĩra mũhũũri. Ũcooke ũtũtumĩrĩre tũkonyo-inĩ twa thahabu,
12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial to the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
na ũtuoherere ndaamĩ-inĩ cia kĩande cia ebodi, tũrĩ tũhiga twa kĩririkania kĩa ariũ a Isiraeli. Harũni nĩarĩkuuaga marĩĩtwa macio ciande-inĩ ciake matuĩke kĩririkania mbere ya Jehova.
13 And thou shalt make settings of gold;
Thondeka tũkonyo tũgemu twa thahabu
14 And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of braided work shalt thou make them, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.
na irengeeri igĩrĩ cia thahabu therie, ihaana ta mũkanda, nacio ũcinyiitithanie na tũkonyo tũu.
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with skilful work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
“Thondekithia gakuo ga gĩthũri ga gwĩkagĩrwo ituĩro-inĩ rĩa ciira, nako gatumwo nĩ mũtumi mũũgĩ. Gathondeke ta ebodi: karĩ ka ndigi cia rangi wa thahabu na ka ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ na gatani ĩrĩa yogothetwo wega.
16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its breadth.
Gakuo kau gakorwo kaiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna inji kenda kũraiha na inji kenda kwarama, na koinanĩrwo maita meerĩ.
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
Ũcooke ũgatumĩrĩre mĩhari ĩna ya tũhiga twa goro. Mũhari wa mbere hakorwo kahiga ka wakiki ũrĩa mũtune, na ka yakuti ĩrĩa ĩhaana ngoikoni, na ka baregethu;
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
mũhari wa keerĩ ũtumĩrĩre kahiga ga thumarati, na ka yakuti ĩrĩa ya rangi wa bururu, na ka arimathi;
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
mũhari wa gatatũ ũtumĩrĩre kahiga ka wakiki ũrĩa wa bururu, na ka yacimu, na ka amethuthito;
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
naguo mũhari wa kana ũtumĩrĩrwo kahiga ga thumarati ĩrĩa theru, na ka onigithi, na ka njathibi. Ũtũtumĩrĩre tũkonyo-inĩ tũgemu twa thahabu.
21 And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
Hagĩkorwo harĩ na tũhiga ikũmi na twĩrĩ, o kamwe karũgamĩrĩre marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli, o kamwe gakururwo rĩĩtwa rĩa mũhĩrĩga ũmwe wa ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa kahengere ka mũhũũri gakururagwo.
22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of braided work of pure gold.
“Thondekera gakuo kau ga gĩthũri irengeeri njogothe cia thahabu therie ihaana ta mũkanda.
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.
Gathondekere mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu, ũmĩoherere mĩthia-inĩ ĩĩrĩ ya gakuo kau ga gĩthũri.
24 And thou shalt put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.
Ohania irengeeri igĩrĩ cia thahabu mĩrĩnga-inĩ hau mĩthia-inĩ ya gakuo ga gĩthũri,
25 And the other two ends of the two braided chains thou shalt fasten in the two settings, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.
nayo mĩthia ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya irengeeri yohithanio na tũkonyo tũrĩa twĩrĩ, ũmĩnyiitithanie na ndaamĩ cia kĩande cia ebodi mwena wa na mbere.
26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in its border, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
Thondeka mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu ũmĩnyiitithanie na mĩthia ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ĩĩrĩ ya gakuo ga gĩthũri mwena wa na thĩinĩ kũrigania na ebodi.
27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, opposite its other coupling, above the beautifully woven band of the ephod.
Thondeka mĩrĩnga ĩngĩ ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu na ũmĩnyiitithanie magũrũ-inĩ ma ndaamĩ cia kĩande mwena-inĩ wa mbere wa ebodi, hakuhĩ na rũtumo, igũrũ hanini wa mũcibi wa njohero ya ebodi.
28 And they shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the beautifully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
Mĩrĩnga ya gakuo ga gĩthũri ĩrĩohithanagio na mĩrĩnga ya ebodi na rũrigi rwa bururu, na inyiitithanio na mũcibi wa njohero, nĩgeetha gakuo ga gĩthũri gatikarekanie na ebodi.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he entereth into the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
“Rĩrĩa rĩothe Harũni arĩĩtoonyaga Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, arĩkuuaga marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli marĩ gĩthũri-inĩ gĩake gakuo-inĩ ga gĩthũri ga ituĩro rĩa ciira, arĩ kĩririkania gĩa gũtũũra mbere ya Jehova.
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.
Ningĩ wĩkĩre Urimu na Thumimu thĩinĩ wa gakuo kau ga gĩthũri, nĩgeetha ciikarage gĩthũri-inĩ kĩa Harũni rĩrĩa rĩothe arĩĩtoonyaga agathiĩ mbere ya Jehova. Ũguo nĩguo Harũni arĩkuuaga ũhoti wa gũtuagĩra andũ a Isiraeli ciira gĩthũri-inĩ gĩake arĩ mbere ya Jehova.
31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
“Tuma nguo ndaaya ya ebodi ya taama wa bururu mũtheri,
32 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst of it: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent.
na ĩkorwo na harũkĩrio ya mũtwe gatagatĩ kayo. Ĩkorwo ĩtirihĩtwo mĩthia-inĩ ta kara ya ngingo gũthiũrũrũkĩria iharũkĩrio rĩu rĩa mũtwe, nĩgeetha ndĩgatarũke.
33 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, all around on its hem; and bells of gold between them all around:
Thondeka tũcunjuura tũtariĩ ta matunda ma makomamanga twa ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na rangi wa ndathi, na rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ gũthiũrũrũka rũtumo rwa magũrũ-inĩ rwa nguo ĩyo, tũhakanĩtio na ngengere cia thahabu.
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe around it.
Ngengere cia thahabu na makomamanga macio mathiĩ mahakanĩtio gũthiũrũrũka rũtumo rwa magũrũ-inĩ rwa nguo ĩyo ndaaya.
35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in to the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.
Harũni no nginya ehumbage nguo ĩyo hĩndĩ ciothe rĩrĩa egũtungata. Ngengere nĩirĩiguagwo ikĩgamba rĩrĩa egũtoonya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru o hau mbere ya Jehova na rĩrĩa ekuuma ho, nĩgeetha ndagakue.
36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
“Thondeka gatanji ga thahabu therie, na ũgakurure ta ũrĩa mũhũũri ũkururagwo, ũkurure ciugo ici: MŨTHERU MWAMŨRĨRE JEHOVA.
37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the front of the mitre it shall be.
Koherere rũrigi rwa rangi wa bururu nĩguo ũkanyiitithanie na kĩremba, gakorwo karĩ mwena wa mbere wa kĩremba.
38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may 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.
Karĩkoragwo karĩ thiithi-inĩ wa Harũni, nake agakuuaga mahĩtia makoniĩ iheo iria theru, iria andũ a Isiraeli mangĩkorwo mamũrĩire Jehova, o na irĩ cia mũthemba o na ũrĩkũ. Gatanji kau gakoragwo karĩ thiithi-inĩ wa Harũni hĩndĩ ciothe nĩgeetha magetĩkĩrĩkaga nĩ Jehova.
39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the waistband of needlework.
“Kanjũ nĩĩtumwo ĩrĩ ya gatani ĩrĩa njega mũno, o na ũtume kĩremba na gatani ĩrĩa njega mũno. Mũcibi ũtumwo nĩ mũgemia ũrĩa mũũgĩ na wĩra ũcio.
40 And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them waistbands, and headdresses shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
Tumĩra ariũ a Harũni kanjũ, na mĩcibi, na tũmĩcibi twa kĩongo, cia gũtũma manenehagio na maheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and on his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Warĩkia kũhumba mũrũ wa nyũkwa na ariũ ake nguo icio-rĩ, ũmaitĩrĩrie maguta na ũmaamũre. Ũmaamũre nĩgeetha mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
“Matumithĩrie thuruarĩ cia thĩinĩ cia gatani, cia kũhumbĩra njaga ya mĩĩrĩ yao kuuma njohero nginya ciero-inĩ.
43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they enter in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever to him and to his seed after him.
Harũni na ariũ ake no nginya maciĩhumbage rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩtoonyaga Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo kana magĩthengerera kĩgongona marutĩre wĩra Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru nĩgeetha matikahĩtie, nao makue. “Ũyũ nĩũtuĩke watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo tene na tene nĩ Harũni na njiaro ciake.
