Exodus 28
1 “Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office: Aaron, with Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.
“Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmabarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar na tew wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfo nsom me.
2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.
Pam atade kronkron ma wo nua Aaron na ama anuonyam aba nʼadwuma no ho. Pam atade no na ɛnyɛ fɛ, sɛnea ɛbɛma afata nʼadwuma no.
3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Ka kyerɛ nnipa a mama wɔn adepam ho nyansa na wɔmpam atade no. Ɛno na ɛbɛma no ada nsow wɔ ne mfɛfo mu na ama watumi asom me.
4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a fitted tunic, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Ntade ahorow a wɔbɛpam no ni: adɛbo asɔfotade, atade yuu, atade kɔnsin a ɛyɛ adamadam, abotiri ne nkyekyeremu. Wɔbɛpam ntade kronkron bi nso de ama Aaron mmabarima no.
5 They shall use the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwen na ɛbɛpam.
6 “They shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.
“Ma ntamanwen mu adwumfo papa mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne bibiri ne asaawa a ɛbere dum ne koogyan ne asaawa fitaa a wɔafura nyɛ asɔfotade no.
7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.
Wɔbɛpam no asinasin abien a ɛyɛ anim ne akyi a wɔapam ne mmati no so abɔ mu.
8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Nkyekyeremu no bɛyɛ ntama koro no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan.
9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel.
“Fa apopobibiri abo abien na kyerɛw Israelfo mmusuakuw no din gu so.
10 Six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.
Ɔbo biara, wɔnkyerɛw din asia ngu so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bedidi so mpanyin mu.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel. You shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.
Fa ɔkwan a aboɔdemmotwafo si fa twa din gu adwinne so no so kyerɛw din ahorow no sɛnea Israel mma no din te, na fa sika mmuano twa ho hyia.
12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel. Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial.
Fa abo abien no sisi asɔfotade no mmati so na ɛnyɛ nkae ade mma Israelfo. Na daa Aaron nso nam so akae, abɔ wɔn din akyerɛ Awurade.
13 You shall make settings of gold,
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim
14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work. You shall put the braided chains on the settings.
ne ntweaban abien a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare ntetareho a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no mmati so no mu.
15 “You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.
“Momma odwumfo a nʼadwinni yɛ fɛ na ɔnyɛ atemmu adɛbo no. Momfa asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛmpam adɛbo no sɛnea mode pam asɔfotade no.
16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length, and a span its width.
Mummu adɛbo no nto so na ɛnyɛ sɛ ntama nkotoku.
17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;
Momfa abo a ɛsom bo a ɛsesa so anan mmobɔ mu. Nea a edi kan no nyɛ bogyanambo, nea ɛto so abien no nyɛ akraatebo na nea etwa to no nyɛ ɔbo a ɛte sɛ ahabammono.
18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
Nsaso a ɛto so abien no nyɛ nsrammabo, hoabo ne dɛnkyɛmmo.
19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Nsaso a ɛto so abiɛsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonobo, mfrafraebo ne beredumbo.
20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.
Nsaso a ɛto so anan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛbo, apopobibiribo ne ahwehwɛbo. Sikakɔkɔɔ mmuano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.
Ɔbo no baako biara begyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuw no baako. Na wɔbɛkyerɛw abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔwanode.
22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.
“Ɔkwan a mobɛfa so de adɛbo no afam asɔfotade no mu ni: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban.
23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien, na fa tetare adɛbo no twɔtwɔw so.
24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
Fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban abien no hyehyɛ adɛbo no nkaa abien no twɔtwɔw so,
25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.
ntweaban abien a aka no fa biara nso, wɔmfa ntare ɔbo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri no apɔw abien no so nsan mfa ntare asɔfotade no mmati so.
26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
Yɛ sika nkaa abien na fa hyehyɛ adɛbo ntwea abien a ɛwɔ fam no mu.
27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
San yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien hyehyɛ asɔfotade no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka nkyekyeremu no.
28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.
Fa bibiri hama kyekyere adɛbo no ase na fa hyehyɛ nkaa a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no ase no mu. Eyi remma adɛbo no mfi asɔfotade no ho ntew nsensɛn.
29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually.
“Aaron bɛfa saa kwan yi so na ɔde Israel mmusuakuw no din a ɛwɔ adɛbo no so no bɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ; na eyi na ɛbɛma Awurade akae Israelman bere nyinaa mu.
30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he goes in before Yahweh. Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.
Sɛ Aaron rekɔ Awurade anim a, ɔmfa Urim ne Tumim a ase ne hann ne pɛyɛ nhyɛ adɛbo a ɛda ne koko so no kotoku mu. Saa ara na daa Aaron bɛsoa nneɛma a wɔnam so kyerɛ Awurade apɛde de ma ne nkurɔfo no bere biara a ɔbɛkɔ Awurade anim no.
31 “You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
“Wɔde ntama tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotade no
32 It shall have a hole for the head in the middle of it. It shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.
na wɔagyaw ɔkwan bi a Aaron de ne ti bewura mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama a wɔanwen to atade no kɔn mu hyia, na ansuane amfa mu.
33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, all around its hem; with bells of gold between and around them:
Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adɔmma ne atoaa aba a edi afrafra twa asɔfotade no mmuano ho hyia.
35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.
Bere biara a Aaron bɛkɔ Awurade anim akɔsɔre no, saa asɔfotade yi na ɔbɛhyɛ. Ɔredi akɔneaba wɔ Awurade anim hɔ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, na dɔn no rewosow sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.
36 “You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘HOLY TO YAHWEH.’
“Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa ma ɛnyɛ tratraa sɛ prɛte na kyerɛw so sɛnea wokurukyerɛw nsɔwanode so no se: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash. It shall be on the front of the sash.
Wɔde ntama tuntum beso mu asensɛn Aaron abotiri no anim.
38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.
Aaron de saa ade no bɛbɔ ne moma so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ Israelfo no bɔ afɔre biara na mfomso ba ho a, ɛho asodi bɛda ne so, na Awurade agye nnipa no, na ɔde wɔn bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
39 You shall weave the tunic with fine linen. You shall make a turban of fine linen. You shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.
“Fa asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ nwen Aaron atade kɔnsin no. Ma ɛnyɛ adamadam na fa ntama koro no ara bi pam abotiri na nwen biribi gu ne nkatakɔnmu no nso mu.
40 “You shall make tunics for Aaron’s sons. You shall make sashes for them. You shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.
Pam atade yuu ne nkyekyeremu ne abotiri ma Aaron mmabarima na momfa obu ne nidi mma wɔn.
41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Saa ntade yi na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima na momfa ngo ngu wɔn tirim mfa nhyɛ wɔn asɔfo wɔ ɔsom no mu, na momfa ntew wɔn ho sɛ asɔfo a wɔyɛ me dea.
42 You shall make them linen pants to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the waist even to the thighs.
“Mompam sirikyi ntade a efi wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntade no agu so.
43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place, that they don’t bear iniquity, and die. This shall be a statute forever to him and to his offspring after him.
Bere biara a Aaron ne ne mmabarima no rekɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ anaasɛ wɔrekɔ afɔremuka no anim wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔnhyɛ. Anyɛ saa a afɔbu bɛba wɔn so ama wɔawuwu. “Eyi yɛ daa apam a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmabarima.
