你應從以色列子民中叫你的哥哥亞郎同他的兒子們，即亞郎和他的兒子，納達布、阿彼胡、厄肋阿匝爾和衣塔瑪爾，一起來到你前，立他們作我的司祭。
2 and thou hast made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for honour and for beauty;
應給你的哥哥亞郎做聖衣，以示莊嚴美觀。
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.
凡我使之具備藝術天才的藝術人員，你應吩咐他們為亞郎做服裝，祝聖他作我的司祭。
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.
他們應做的服裝如下：胸牌、厄弗得、無袖長袍、織成的長衣、禮冠和腰帶。他們為你的哥哥亞郎和他的兒子們做、這些聖衣，叫他們做我的司祭。
5 'And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen,
他們應用金線，紫色、紅色、朱紅色的毛線和細麻去做。厄弗得的式樣
6 and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer;
他們應用鏽工以金線，紫色、紅色、朱紅色的毛線，和捻的細麻做厄弗得。
7 it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.
兩條肩帶應結連在厄弗得的兩端。
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.
將厄弗得束在身上用的帶子，也應像厄弗得一樣的做法，與厄弗得連在一起，全是用金線、紫色、朱紅色的毛線和捻的細麻做成。
9 'And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened on them the names of the sons of Israel;
再取兩塊紅瑪瑙石，將以色列的兒子的名字刻在上面，
10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;
六個名字刻在一塊寶石上，另六個名字刻在另一塊寶石上，全照他們出生的次序。
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.
以玉工雕刻法，好似刻印章，把以色列的兒子們的名字刻在這兩塊寶石上，崁在金框內。
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.
再將這兩塊寶石，即以色列子民的紀念石，掛在厄弗得的肩帶上；亞郎要在上主前常在兩肩上帶著他們的名字，好獲得紀念。
13 'And thou hast made embroidered things of gold,
要做兩個金框，
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.
兩條純金的鏈子，要像做繩子一樣擰成，把這像繩子的金鏈結在框子上。胸牌的式樣
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;
應以繡工做判斷的胸牌，像做厄弗得，用金線，紫色、紅色、朱紅色的毛線和捻的細麻去做。
16 it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.
胸牌要方形，雙層，一作長，一作寬。
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;
將鑲嵌的寶石安裝在上面，排成四行：第一行：赤玉、青玉、翡翠：
18 and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;

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.
按照以色列的兒子的名字，寶石應有十二塊，按刻印法，每塊刻一個名字，代表十二支派。
22 'And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold;

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.
把兩條鏈子的另兩端，結在那掛在厄弗得的肩帶前面的兩個框子上。
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;
再做兩個金環，安在胸牌的下兩端，靠近厄弗得的內邊緣上。
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,
再做兩個金環，安在厄弗得前面兩肩帶的下邊，靠近厄弗得帶子的上邊與肩帶相連結的地方。
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.
用一根紫繩把胸牌的環子繫在厄弗得的環子上，使胸牌結在厄弗得的帶子上，免得胸牌在厄弗得上移動。
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.
如此亞郎進聖所時，在他的胸前，在判斷的胸牌上帶著以色列兒子們的名字，為在上主前常獲得紀念。

在決斷的胸牌內應放上烏陵和突明，幾時亞郎進到上主前常帶在亞郎胸前：如此亞郎在上主前時，胸前常帶著為以色列子民行決斷的工具。長袍的式樣
31 'And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,
再為厄弗得做一無袖長袍，應全是紫色毛線的。
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.
中間留一領口，領口周圍叫織工做上邊，像戰袍的領口，免得破裂。
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;
在長袍底邊周圍做上紫色、紅色、珠紅色的毛線石榴；在石榴中間，周圍再做上金鈴鐺：
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.
如此在長袍底邊周圍，一個金鈴鐺，一個石榴；一個金鈴鐺，一個石榴。
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.
當亞郎穿著行禮時，能聽見他進聖所到上主前，或者出來的聲音，免得他死亡。禮冠的式樣
36 'And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it — openings of a signet — 'Holy to Jehovah;'
應用純金製一個牌子，在上面像刻印章刻上「祝聖於上主。」
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;
用紫繩子將牌子繫在禮冠上，即繫在禮冠的前面。
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.
那牌常在亞郎的額上，好叫亞郎擔當以色列子民祝聖各種聖物時，干犯聖物的罪過；那牌常在亞郎的額上，為使人民在上主前獲得悅納。
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.
應用細麻編製長衣，並用細麻做禮冠；腰帶應是編成的。司祭的禮服
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;
也要為亞郎的兒子們做長衣、腰帶和頭巾，以示莊嚴美觀。
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.
你把這些服裝給你哥哥亞郎和他的兒子穿上；給他們傅油，授與聖職，祝聖他們做我的司祭。
42 'And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs;
還應給他們用麻布做褲子，從腰部直到大腿，遮蓋他們的裸體。
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.
當亞郎和他的兒子們進入會幕或走近祭台，在聖所內行禮時，要穿上褲子，免得招致懲罰死亡：這為亞郎和他的後代是永遠的規律。
