And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

And thou shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
10 Ŋkɔ ade nanɔ kpe ɖeka dzi, eye woaɖo ŋkɔawo ɖe woƒe tsitsi nu.

And thou shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman. Thou shall make it like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, thou shall make it.

And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name; they shall be for the twelve tribes.
22 Tsɔ ka si wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ gbie la ɖo akɔtawu la ŋu.

And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart of it.
26 Emegbe la, gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve, eye nàtsɔ wo aku akɔtawu la te le eme gome.
And thou shall make two rings of gold, and thou shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge of it, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
27 Gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve na dziwui ʋlaya la te le eŋgɔ, le alidziblanu la ŋu.
And thou shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
28 Azɔ la, tɔ ka blɔtɔwo ɖe akɔtawu la te, eye nàtsɔ kawo atsi ɖe sikasigɛ siwo le dziwui ʋlaya la te la ŋu. Esia ana be akɔtawu la nalé ɖe dziwui la ŋu.
And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 Ale Aron atsɔ Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔ siwo le akɔtawu la dzi aɖo eƒe dzi gbɔ abe Mawu ƒe nyametsonu ene, ne eyi Teƒe Kɔkɔe la. Nu sia anɔ ŋku ɖom Israelviwo dzi na Yehowa edziedzi.”
And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.
30 Tsɔ Urim kple Tumim siwo nye kpe siwo wotsɔna biaa nu Mawu la de akɔtawu la ƒe kotoku me be woanɔ Aron ƒe dzi dzi ne edo ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Ale Aron atsɔ Israelviwo ƒe nyametsonu la ɖe eƒe dzi dzi ne edo ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.
And thou shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Jehovah. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.
31 “Tsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ tɔ awu ʋlaya si le kɔmewu la te,
And thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 eye woaɖe teƒe si Aron ƒe ta nato la ɖi. Woatɔ avɔ aƒo xlã teƒe sia, abe ale si wowɔna na akpoxɔnuwo ene, ale be mavuvu o.
And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst of it. It shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not torn.
33 Woatsɔ aɖabɛka blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ kple ka dzĩ alɔ̃ yevuboɖawo ɖe awu ʋlaya la to le awu la te eye sikanyawowoewo nanɔ yevuboɖawo dome.
And upon the skirts of it thou shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts of it, and bells of gold between them round about:
34 Yevuboɖawo kple sikanyawowoeawo naɖɔli wo nɔewo ale be sikanyawowoe ɖeka nanɔ yevuboɖa ɖeka yome.
a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
35 Na Aron nado dziwui ʋlaya la ɣe sia ɣi si wòayi be yeawɔ subɔsubɔdɔ na Yehowa, eye sikanyawowoeawo nanɔ ɖiɖim kliŋkliŋkliŋ le Yehowa ŋkume le Kɔkɔeƒe la kple ne edzo le eŋkume ale be maku o.
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister. And the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out, that he does not die.
36 “Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, tsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ ganuvi kɔkɔe si anɔ tablanu la ƒe ŋgonu, eye nàŋlɔ nu ɖe edzi be, wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa, abe ale si nàŋlɔ nu ɖe nutrenu la dzi ene.
And thou shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.
37 Woatsɔ ka blɔtɔ atsi sikanu sia ɖe tablanu la ƒe ŋgonu.
And thou shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the miter. It shall be upon the forefront of the miter.
38 Ale wòanɔ Aron ƒe ŋgonu, eye Aron atsɔ vodada siwo anɔ Israelviwo ƒe nunanawo ŋu la aƒu akɔ. Ele be wòakplae ɣe sia ɣi si wòado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume ale be, Mawu nakpɔ ŋudzedze le nunanawo ŋu, eye wòatsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ake.
And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead. And Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts. And it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.
39 “Na woalɔ̃ Aron ƒe dziwui ʋlaya la kple ɖeti ɣi, eye woana wòanɔ ŋɔŋɔe. Woatsɔ avɔ ma ke alɔ̃ tablanu la hã, eye woalɔ̃ nu ɖe alidziblanu la hã me.
And thou shall weave the tunic in checker work of fine linen. And thou shall make a miter of fine linen. And thou shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.
40 “Wɔ awu ʋlayawo, alidziblanuwo kple tablanuwo na Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo be woade bubu wo ŋu.
And for Aaron's sons thou shall make tunics. And thou shall make for them sashes, and head-coverings thou shall make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 Do awu siawo na Aron ƒe viŋutsuawo. Si ami ɖe ta na wo, eye nàto esia me akɔ wo ŋu, aɖo wo nunɔlawo be woasubɔm.
And thou shall put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon 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.
42 Tsɔ ɖeti ɣi lɔ̃ avɔ si woatsɔ atɔ atakpui na wo woado ɖe awuawo te. Atakpuiawo natso alime va se ɖe klonu.
And thou shall make for them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach.
43 Ele be Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nado awu siawo ɣe sia ɣi si woayi agbadɔ la me alo woayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ le Kɔkɔeƒe la. Ne womewɔ nu siawo o la, woaɖi fɔ, eye woaku. Esia nye se matrɔmatrɔ na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo.”
And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon 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 not bear iniquity, and die. It shall be a statute forever to him and to his seed after him.
