< 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.
“Aaroni mʼbale wako ndi ana ake aamuna, Nadabu, Abihu, Eliezara ndi Itamara uwapatule pakati pa Aisraeli. Abwere kwa iwe kuti anditumikire monga ansembe.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.
Umusokere mʼbale wako, Aaroni, zovala zopatulika kuti azioneka mwaulemerero ndi molemekezeka.
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.
Uwawuze anthu onse aluso amene Ine ndawapatsa nzeru pa ntchito yosoka kuti apange zovala za Aaroni za pa mwambo womupatula, kuti iye anditumikire monga wansembe.
4 And these [are] the garments which they shall make; a breast-plate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a miter, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.
Zovala zoti apange ndi izi: chovala chapachifuwa, efodi, mkanjo, mwinjiro wolukidwa, nduwira ndi lamba. Apangire mʼbale wako Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna zovala zopatulikazi kuti iwo anditumikire monga ansembe.
5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
Iwo agwiritse ntchito golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo, yofiira ndi yosalala yofewa.
6 And they shall make the ephod [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with curious work.
“Apange efodi pogwiritsa ntchito golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira yolukidwa mwaluso.
7 It shall have the two shoulder-pieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and [so] it shall be joined together.
Efodiyo ikhale ndi timalamba tiwiri ta pa mapewa tosokerera ku msonga zake ziwiri kuti azitha kumanga.
8 And the curious girdle 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.
Lamba womangira efodi akhale wolukidwa mwaluso ngati efodiyo. Akhale wopangidwa ndi golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo, yofiira, yofewa yosalala.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
“Utenge miyala iwiri ya onikisi ndipo uzokotepo mayina a ana a Israeli.
10 Six of their names on one stone, and [the] six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
Mayina asanu ndi limodzi akhale pa mwala umodzi, ndipo mayina asanu ndi limodzi pa mwala winawo motsata mabadwidwe awo.
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 ouches of gold.
Mayina a ana a Israeli uwazokote pa miyala iwiriyo, monga momwe amachitira mmisiri wozokota miyala. Ndipo uyike miyalayo mu zoyikamo zake zagolide.
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.
Umangirire miyala iwiriyi pa tinsalu ta mʼmapewa ta efodi tija ngati miyala ya chikumbutso cha ana a Israeli. Aaroni azinyamula mayinawo mʼmapewa ake kuti akhale chikumbutso pamaso pa Yehova.
13 And thou shalt make ouches [of] gold;
Upange zoyikamo za maluwa agolide,
14 And two chains [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathed work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathed chains to the ouches.
ndiponso maunyolo awiri a golide wabwino kwambiri, wopetedwa ngati zingwe ndipo uwalumikize ku zoyikamozo.
15 And thou shalt make the breast-plate of judgment with curious 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.
“Upange chovala chapachifuwa chogwiritsa ntchito poweruza mlandu ndipo uchipange mwaluso kwambiri. Uchipange ngati efodi pogwiritsa ntchito golide, nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo, yofiira, yofewa yosalala ndi yolukidwa bwino.
16 Foursquare it shall be, [being] doubled; a span [shall be] its length, and a span [shall be] its breadth.
Kutalika kwake kukhale kofanana mbali zonse, mulitali masentimita 23, mulifupi masentimita 23, ndipo chikhale chopinda pawiri.
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.
Uyikepo mizere inayi ya miyala yokongola kwambiri. Mzere woyamba ukhale ndi miyala ya rubi, topazi ndi berili.
18 And the second row [shall be] an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

Mzere wachinayi pakhale miyala ya topazi, onikisi ndi yasipa. Miyalayi uyiike mu zoyikamo zagolide.
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.
Miyalayo ikhalepo khumi ndi iwiri, uliwonse kuyimira dzina limodzi la ana a Israeli. Mwala uliwonse uzokotedwe ngati chidindo dzina limodzi la mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
22 And thou shalt make upon the breast-plate chains at the ends [of] wreathed work [of] pure gold.
“Upange timaunyolo tagolide wabwino kwambiri ta pa chovala chapachifuwa, topota ngati chingwe.
23 And thou shalt make upon the breast-plate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breast-plate.
Upangenso mphete ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzimangirire pa ngodya ziwiri za pa chovala chapachifuwa.
24 And thou shalt put the two wreathed [chains] of gold in the two rings [which are] on the ends of the breast-plate.
Umangirire timaunyolo tiwiri tagolide tija pa mphete za pa ngodya pa chovala chapachifuwacho.
25 And [the other] two ends of the two wreathed [chains] thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put [them] on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod before it.
Ndipo mbali ina ya timaunyoloto umangirire pa zoyikapo zake ziwiri zija ndi kulumikiza pa tinsalu takutsogolo kwa mapewa a efodi.
26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breast-plate in its border, which [is] in the side of the ephod inward.
Upangenso mphete ziwiri zagolide, ndipo uzilumikize ku ngodya ziwiri zamʼmunsi mwa chovala chapachifuwa, champhepete mwake, mʼkati pafupi ndi efodi ija.
27 And two [other] rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the forepart of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
Upangenso mphete zina ziwiri zagolide ndipo uzilumikize kumunsi kwa tinsalu takutsogolo kwa efodi, pafupi ndi msoko, pamwamba pangʼono pa lamba wamʼchiwuno wa efodi.
28 And they shall bind the breast-plate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that [it] may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate be not loosed from the ephod.
Tsono umangirire mphete za pa chovala chapachifuwa zija ku mphete za efodi ndi chingwe chamtundu wa mtambo, kulumikiza lamba ndi chovala chapachifuwacho kuti chovala chapachifuwacho chisalekane ndi efodi.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breast-plate of judgment upon his heart, when he entereth into the holy [place], for a memorial before the LORD continually.
“Pamene Aaroni akulowa kumalo opatulika azivala chovala chapachifuwa cha zoweruzira chija chimene chalembedwa mayina a ana a Israeli kuti Yehova awakumbukire nthawi zonse.
30 And thou shalt put in the breast-plate 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.
Ndiponso uyike Urimu ndi Tumimu mu chovala chapachifuwa cha zoweruziracho, kuti zikhale pamtima pa Aaroni. Choncho Aaroniyo adzakhala akutenga nthawi zonse zida zomuthandizira kuweruza ana a Israeli pamene adzafika pamaso pa Yehova.
31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue.
“Uyipangire efodiyo mkanjo wamtundu wa mtambo.
32 And there shall be a hole in the top of it, in the midst of it: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
Mkanjowo ukhala ndi malo opisapo mutu pakati pakepo. Pa chibowopo pakhale chibandi chosokedwa mochita ngati kuluka monga muja akhalira malaya kuti chibowocho chilimbe, chisangʼambike.
33 And [beneath], upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, round about its hem; and bells of gold between them around it.
Pa mpendero wamʼmunsi wa mkanjowo, upange mphonje zokhala ngati makangadza za nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo, yapepo ndi yofiira zokhala ndi maberu agolide pakati pake.
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe around it.
Choncho pazikhala mphonje imodzi kenaka belu limodzi, kuzungulira mpendero wa mkanjo wonse.
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.
Aaroni azivala mkanjowo pamene akutumikira ngati wansembe. Kulira kwa maberu kuzimveka pamene akulowa mʼmalo opatulika pamaso pa Yehova ndiponso pamene akutuluka, kuti asafe.
36 And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and engrave upon it, [like] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
“Upange duwa lagolide wabwino kwambiri kukhala ngati chidindo ndipo uzokotepo mawu akuti, Cohoperekedwa kwa Yehova.
37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the miter; upon the front of the miter it shall be.
Ulimange ndi chingwe cha nsalu yamtundu wa mtambo pa nduwira ya Aaroni, ndipo duwalo likhale kutsogolo kwa nduwirayo.
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.
Lidzakhala pa mphumi ya Aaroni, motero iye adzasenza cholakwa chilichonse cha pa zopereka zilizonse zimene Aisraeli amazipatulira Yehova. Aaroni azivala chikwangwanichi pa mphumi pake nthawi zonse kuti Yehova alandire zopereka za anthu ake.
39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the miter [of] fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle [of] needle-work.
“Uluke mwinjiro wa nsalu yofewa yosalala ndiponso upange nduwira ya nsalu yofewa yosalala. Lamba wake akhale wolukidwa bwino ndi munthu waluso.
40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
Upangirenso ana a Aaroni mwinjiro, malamba ndi nduwira kuti azioneka mwaulemu ndi molemekezeka.
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.
Zovala zimenezi umuveke Aaroni, mʼbale wako ndi ana ake. Kenaka uwadzoze, uwapatse udindo ndi kuwapatula kuti anditumikire ngati ansembe anga.
42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness: from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
“Uwapangire akabudula a nsalu yofewa oyambira mʼchiwuno kulekeza mʼntchafu kuti asamaonetse maliseche.
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.
Aaroni ndi ana ake ayenera kuvala akabudulawo pamene akulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kapena pamene akupita ku guwa lansembe kukatumikira malo oyera kuopa kuti angachimwe ndi kufa. “Ili likhale lamulo la nthawi zonse kwa Aaroni ndi zidzukulu zake.”
