Exodus 28

1 'And thou, bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to Me, [even] Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron;

١ وَافْرِزْ لِي هَرُونَ أَخَاكَ وَأَوْلادَهُ: نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ، مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَكُونُوا لِي كَهَنَةً.

2 and thou hast made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for honour and for beauty;

٢ وَاصْنَعْ لأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

3 and thou — thou dost speak unto all the wise of heart, whom I have filled [with] a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest to Me.

٣ وَخَاطِبْ كُلَّ ذِي مَهَارَةٍ مِمَّنْ وَهَبْتُهُمْ رُوحَ الْبَرَاعَةِ فِي الْحِيَاكَةِ لِيَصْنَعُوا ثِيَابَ هَرُونَ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ، فَيَكُونَ كَاهِناً لِي.

4 'And these [are] the garments which they make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; yea, they have made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.

٤ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الثِّيَابُ الَّتِي يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ صِنَاعَتُهَا: صُدْرَةٌ وَرِدَاءٌ وَجُبَّةٌ وَقَمِيصٌ مُخَرَّمٌ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَحِزَامٌ، يَصْنَعُونَهَا ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِهَرُونَ وَأَوْلادِهِ، لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

5 'And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen,

٥ وَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوا فِي حِيَاكَتِهَا خُيُوطاً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةً وَحَمْرَاءَ وَالْكَتَّانَ الْفَاخِرَ.

6 and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer;

٦ وَلْيَقُمْ أَمْهَرُ الخَيَّاطِينَ عَلَى صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَمِنَ الكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومِ.

7 it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.

٧ يَكُونُ لَهُ كَتِفَانِ مُتَّصِلانِ فِي طَرَفَيْهِ لِيُمْكِنَ تَثْبِيتُهُ.

8 'And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

٨ أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ الَّذِي يَشُدُّهُ، فَيَكُونُ مُحَاكاً مِنْهُ، مَصْنُوعاً بِمَهَارَةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ فَاخِرٍ.

9 'And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened on them the names of the sons of Israel;

٩ ثُمَّ خُذْ حَجَرَيْ جَزْعٍ، وَانْقُشْ عَلَيْهِمَا أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;

١٠ تَنْقُشُ كلَّ سِتَّةِ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى حَجَرٍ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَارِيخِ وِلادَتِهِمْ.

11 the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel; turned round, embroidered [with] gold, thou dost make them.

١١ انْقُشْ أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْحَجَرَيْنِ تَمَاماً مِثْلَ حَفْرِ النَّقَّاشِ الْمَاهِرِ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ، وَطَوِّقْهُمَا بِإِطَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

12 'And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod — stones of memorial to the sons of Israel — and Aaron hath borne their names before Jehovah, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.

١٢ وَتُرَصِّعُ كَتِفَي الرِّدَاءِ بِالْحَجَرَيْنِ، فَيَكُونَانِ حَجَرَيْ تَذْكَارٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

13 'And thou hast made embroidered things of gold,

١٣ وَتَصْنَعُ طَوْقَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

14 and two chains of pure gold, wreathed work thou dost make them, work of thick bands, and thou hast put the thick chains on the embroidered things.

١٤ وَسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مَبْرُومَتَيْنِ كَحَبْلٍ، تُعَلِّقُهُمَا بِالطَّوْقَيْنِ.

15 'And thou hast made a breastplate of judgment, work of a designer; according to the work of the ephod thou dost make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen thou dost make it;

١٥ كَلِّفْ أَمْهَرَ الخَيَّاطِينَ بِصِنَاعَةِ «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ عَلَى غِرَارِ صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ.

16 it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.

١٦ وَتَكُونُ مُرَبَّعَةً مَثْنِيَّةً مِنْ طَبَقَتَيْنِ، وَطُولُهَا شِبْرٌ وَعَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ.

17 'And thou hast set in it settings of stone, four rows of stone; a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first row;

١٧ وَتُرَصِّعُونَهَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوُفٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْكَرِيمَةِ. الصَّفُ الأَوَّلُ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ.

18 and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;

١٨ وَالصَّفُّ الثَّانِي: بَهْرَمَانٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ.

19 and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst;

١٩ وَالصَّفُّ الثَّالِثُ: عَيْنُ الهِرِّ وَيَشْمٌ وَجَمَشْتٌ.

20 and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper; embroidered with gold are they in their settings,

٢٠ وَالصَّفُّ الرَّابعُ: زَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشَبٌ، وَتُؤَطِّرُهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَطْوَاقٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ فِي تَرْصِيعِهَا.

21 and the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet, each by his name are they for the twelve tribes.

٢١ وَتَنْقُشُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ اسْمَ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ نَقْشِ الْخَاتَمِ الْمَحْفُورَةِ عَلَيْهِ أَسْمَاءُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطاً.

22 'And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold;

٢٢ وَاصْنَعْ عَلَى الصُّدْرَةِ سَلاسِلَ مَبْرُومَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مِثْلَ الْحَبْلِ الْمَضْفُورِ.

23 and thou hast made on the breastplate two rings of gold, and hast put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;

٢٣ وَتَضَعُ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

24 and thou hast put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate;

٢٤ وَتَجْعَلُ ضَفِيرَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ فِي الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ.

25 and the two ends of the two thick bands thou dost put on the two embroidered things, and thou hast put [them] on the shoulders of the ephod over-against its face.

٢٥ كَمَا تُدْخِلُ طَرَفَيِ الضَّفِيرَتَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ فِي الطَّوْقَيْنِ، وَتَجْعَلُهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ.

26 'And thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] over-against the ephod within;

٢٦ وَتَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَتُثَبِّتُهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُلاصِقَةِ لِلرِّدَاءِ.

27 and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, beneath, over-against its front, over-against its joining, above the girdle of the ephod,

٢٧ كَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَتَضَعُهُمَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِ كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ عِنْدَ مَكَانِ الْوَصْلِ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ.

28 and they bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.

٢٨ وَتَرْبِطُ حَلْقَتَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ إِلَى حَلْقَتَيِ الرِّدَاءِ بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ لِتَثْبُتَ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا لَا تُنْتَزَعُ الصُّدْرَةُ عَنِ الرِّدَاءِ.

29 'And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going in unto the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

٢٩ فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ، تَذْكَاراً دَائِماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ

30 'And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

٣٠ وَتَضَعُ أَيْضاً فِي صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ «الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ» لِيَحْمِلَهَا هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَهَكَذَا يَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً رَمْزَ قَضَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

31 'And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,

٣١ أَمَّا الْجُبَّةُ فَتَصْنَعُهَا كُلَّهَا مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ،

32 and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent.

٣٢ لَهَا فَتْحَةٌ لِلرَّأْسِ فِي وَسَطِهَا، ذَاتُ حَاشِيَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةٍ، صِنَاعَةِ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ. عَلَى غِرَارِ فَتْحَةِ الْقَمِيصِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ لَا تَتَمَزَّقَ،

33 'And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about;

٣٣ وَتَتَدَلَّى مِنْ هُدْبِهَا رُمَّانَاتٌ زَرْقَاءُ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةٌ وَحَمْرَاءُ، وَتُعَلِّقُ بَيْنَهَا أَجْرَاساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

34 a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe round about.

٣٤ فَيَكُونُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رُمَّانَتَيْنِ جَرَسٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا جَمِيعَهَا عَلَى أَذْيَالِ الْجُبَّةِ.

35 'And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die.

٣٥ فَيَرْتَدِي هَرُونُ الْجُبَّةَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ لِلْخِدْمَةِ، فَتُسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتُهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ، لَئِلا يَمُوتَ.

36 'And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it — openings of a signet — 'Holy to Jehovah;'

٣٦ وَاصْنَعْ صَفِيحَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَاحْفُرْ عَلَيْهَا كَالْحَفْرِ عَلَى خَاتَمٍ: «قُدْسٌ للرَّبِّ»

37 and thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on the mitre — over-against the front of the mitre it is;

٣٧ وَثَبِّتْهَا بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عِمَامَةِ هَرُونَ،

38 and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah.

٣٨ فَتَكُونَ دَائِماً عَلَى جَبْهَةِ هَرُونَ، فَيَحْمِلَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وِزْرَ أَخْطَائِهِمْ فِي تَقْدِمَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي يُخَصِّصُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ. وَعَلَى هَرُونَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّمَ بِها دَائِماً عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ.

39 'And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make — work of an embroiderer.

٣٩ وَتَصْنَعُ قَمِيصَ هَرُونَ الْمُخَرَّمَ وَعِمَامَتَهُ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ كَتَّانِيٍّ، أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَتُطَرِّزُهُ تَطْرِيزَ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ.

40 'And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honour and for beauty;

٤٠ وَكَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ لِبَنِي هَرُونَ أَقْمِصَةً وَأَحْزِمَةً، وَقَلانِسَ لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

41 and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.

٤١ وَتُلْبِسُهَا هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ. ثُمَّ امْسَحْهُمْ بِزَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَكَرِّسْهُمْ لِلْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها، وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

42 'And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs;

٤٢ وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سَرَاوِيلَ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ لِسَتْرِ الْعَوْرَةِ، تَصِلُ مِنَ الْحَقْوَيْنِ إِلَى الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ.

43 and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him, and to his seed after him.

٤٣ فَيَلْبَسُهَا هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ تَحْتَ قُمْصَانِهِمْ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَخْدِمُوا فِي القُدْسِ، لِئَلّا يُخْطِئُوا فَيَمُوتُوا. هَذَا فَرْضٌ دَائِمٌ عَلَى هَرُونَ وَنَسْلِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.
