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.
Applica quoque ad te Aaron fratrem tuum cum filiis suis de medio filiorum Israël, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi: Aaron, Nadab, et Abiu, Eleazar, et Ithamar.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
Faciesque vestem sanctam Aaron fratri tuo in gloriam et decorem.
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.
Et loqueris cunctis sapientibus corde quos replevi spiritu prudentiæ, ut faciant vestes Aaron, in quibus sanctificatus ministret mihi.
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.
Hæc autem erunt vestimenta quæ faciet: rationale et superhumerale, tunicam et lineam strictam, cidarim et balteum. Facient vestimenta sancta fratri tuo Aaron et filiis ejus, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
Accipientque aurum, et hyacinthum, et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with skilful work.
Facient autem superhumerale de auro et hyacintho et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere polymito.
7 It shall have its two shoulderpieces joined at its two edges; and so it shall be joined together.
Duas oras junctas habebit in utroque latere summitatum, ut in unum redeant.
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.
Ipsa quoque textura et cuncta operis varietas erit ex auro et hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
Sumesque duos lapides onychinos, et sculpes in eis nomina filiorum Israël:
10 Six of their names on one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
sex nomina in lapide uno, et sex reliqua in altero, juxta ordinem nativitatis eorum.
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.
Opere sculptoris et cælatura gemmarii, sculpes eos nominibus filiorum Israël, inclusos auro atque circumdatos:
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.
et pones in utroque latere superhumeralis, memoriale filiis Israël. Portabitque Aaron nomina eorum coram Domino super utrumque humerum, ob recordationem.
13 And thou shalt make settings of gold;
Facies et uncinos ex auro,
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.
et duas catenulas ex auro purissimo sibi invicem cohærentes, quas inseres uncinis.
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.
Rationale quoque judicii facies opere polymito juxta texturam superhumeralis, ex auro, hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta.
16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its breadth.
Quadrangulum erit et duplex: mensuram palmi habebit tam in longitudine quam in latitudine.
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.
Ponesque in eo quatuor ordines lapidum: in primo versu erit lapis sardius, et topazius, et smaragdus:
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
in secundo carbunculus, sapphirus, et jaspis:
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
in tertio ligurius, achates, et amethystus:
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
in quarto chrysolithus, onychinus, et beryllus. Inclusi auro erunt per ordines suos.
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.
Habebuntque nomina filiorum Israël: duodecim nominibus cælabuntur, singuli lapides nominibus singulorum per duodecim tribus.
22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of braided work of pure gold.
Facies in rationali catenas sibi invicem cohærentes ex auro purissimo,
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.
et duos annulos aureos, quos pones in utraque rationalis summitate:
24 And thou shalt put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.
catenasque aureas junges annulis, qui sunt in marginibus ejus,
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.
et ipsarum catenarum extrema duobus copulabis uncinis in utroque latere superhumeralis quod rationale respicit.
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.
Facies et duos annulos aureos, quos pones in summitatibus rationalis, in oris, quæ e regione sunt superhumeralis, et posteriora ejus aspiciunt.
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.
Necnon et alios duos annulos aureos, qui ponendi sunt in utroque latere superhumeralis deorsum, quod respicit contra faciem juncturæ inferioris, ut aptari possit cum superhumerali,
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.
et stringatur rationale annulis suis cum annulis superhumeralis vitta hyacinthina, ut maneat junctura fabrefacta, et a se invicem rationale et superhumerale nequeant separari.
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.
Portabitque Aaron nomina filiorum Israël in rationali judicii super pectus suum, quando ingredietur Sanctuarium, memoriale coram Domino in æternum.
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.
Pones autem in rationali judicii Doctrinam et Veritatem, quæ erunt in pectore Aaron, quando ingredietur coram Domino: et gestabit judicium filiorum Israël in pectore suo, in conspectu Domini semper.
31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
Facies et tunicam superhumeralis totam hyacinthinam,
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.
in cujus medio supra erit capitium, et ora per gyrum ejus textilis, sicut fieri solet in extremis vestium partibus, ne facile rumpatur.
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:
Deorsum vero, ad pedes ejusdem tunicæ, per circuitum, quasi mala punica facies, ex hyacintho, et purpura, et cocco bis tincto, mistis in medio tintinnabulis,
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe around it.
ita ut tintinnabulum sit aureum et malum punicum: rursumque tintinnabulum aliud aureum et malum punicum.
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.
Et vestietur ea Aaron in officio ministerii, ut audiatur sonitus quando ingreditur et egreditur sanctuarium in conspectu Domini, et non moriatur.
36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
Facies et laminam de auro purissimo, in qua sculpes opere cælatoris, Sanctum Domino.
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.
Ligabisque eam vitta hyacinthina, et erit super tiaram,
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.
imminens fronti pontificis. Portabitque Aaron iniquitates eorum, quæ obtulerunt et sanctificaverunt filii Israël, in cunctis muneribus et donariis suis. Erit autem lamina semper in fronte ejus, ut placatus sit eis Dominus.
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.
Stringesque tunicam bysso, et tiaram byssinam facies, et balteum opere plumarii.
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.
Porro filiis Aaron tunicas lineas parabis et balteos ac tiaras in gloriam et decorem:
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.
vestiesque his omnibus Aaron fratrem tuum et filios ejus cum eo. Et cunctorum consecrabis manus, sanctificabisque illos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
Facies et feminalia linea, ut operiant carnem turpitudinis suæ, a renibus usque ad femora:
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.
et utentur eis Aaron et filii ejus quando ingredientur tabernaculum testimonii, vel quando appropinquant ad altare ut ministrent in sanctuario, ne iniquitatis rei moriantur. Legitimum sempiternum erit Aaron, et semini ejus post eum.
