Mose 2 28
1 “Na woakplɔ nɔviwò ŋutsu Aron vɛ na wò tso Israelviwo dome kpe ɖe via ŋutsuwo Nadab, Abihu, Eleaza kple Itamar ŋu ale be woawɔ dɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene.
Now let Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, come near from among the children of Israel, so that they may be my priests, even Aaron, and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, his sons.
2 Tɔ awu kɔkɔewo na nɔviwò ŋutsu Aron be woade kɔkɔ kple bubu eŋu.
And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.
3 Gblɔ na aɖaŋudɔwɔla siwo katã mena nunya le nya siawo tɔgbi me la be woatɔ awuwo na Aron hena eɖoɖo nunɔlae, ale be wòate ŋu awɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔ nam.
Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.
4 Awu siwo woatɔ la woe nye: akɔtaɖonu, dziwui ʋlaya si ŋu abɔ mele o, eye wòdidi tso abɔta va se ɖe klo te, dziwui, tablanu kple alidziblanu. Woatɔ awu kɔkɔewo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo be woawɔ nunɔlawo ƒe dɔ nam.
This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.
5 “Na woatsɔ sika, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hɛ̃tɔ kple ɖetika ɣitɔ alɔ̃ awu siawoe.
They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,
6 “Aɖaŋuvɔlɔ̃la xɔŋkɔwo natsɔ sika, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ kple kadada nyuitɔ alɔ̃ kɔmewu lae.
And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.
7 Woatɔe awu evee: ŋgɔgbetɔ kple megbetɔ, eye woakpe wo ɖe abɔta.
It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.
8 Woatsɔ avɔ ma tɔgbi ke, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ kple kadada nyuitɔ ƒe avɔ awɔ alidziblanu la hãe.
And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.
9 Emegbe tsɔ onikskpe eve, eye nàŋlɔ Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe wo dzi.
You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:
10 Ŋkɔ ade nanɔ kpe ɖeka dzi, eye woaɖo ŋkɔawo ɖe woƒe tsitsi nu.
Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.
11 Tsɔ ŋkɔsigɛ̃wɔnu ŋlɔ Israel ƒe vi wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe kpe eveawo dzi. Wɔe abe ale si kpe xɔasi nuŋlɔla ŋlɔa nui ɖe ŋkɔsigɛ dzi la ene. Emegbe, nàtsɔ sika afa ɖe towo na kpeawo.
With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
12 Tsɔ kpe eveawo eye tɔ wo ɖe kɔmewu la ƒe abɔtawo hena ŋkuɖoɖo Israelviwo dzi. Na Aron nakpla woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe abɔta le Yehowa ŋkume abe ŋkuɖodzi ene.
And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them.
13 Na woatsɔ sika nyuitɔ awɔ sikakawo
And you are to make twisted frames of gold;
14 kple sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ eve siwo adidi abe ka ene, eye woatsɔ wo aku sikasigɛ siwo le kɔmewu la ƒe abɔtawo.
And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.
15 “Na aɖaŋuvɔlɔ̃lawo nawɔ akɔtaɖonu si anye nyametsonu; nenɔ abe kɔmewu la tɔgbi ene, eye woawɔe kple sikaka blɔtɔ, ka dzĩ kple ka hẽ kple kadada ɣi.
And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen.
16 Wɔe ɖe dzogoe ene me, eƒe didime nanye sentimita blaeve-vɔ-eve, eye eƒe kekeme hã nanɔ nenema. Emegbe woaŋee ɖe eve.
It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.
17 Tsɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖo agbaka ene me ɖe eŋu. Kanelian, krisolit kple beril nanɔ fli gbãtɔ me;
And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;
18 tɔkuɔs lapis lazuli kple emerald nanɔ fli evelia me.
The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;
19 Yasint, agate kple ametist nanɔ fli etɔ̃lia me.
The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20 Topaz, oniks kple yaspa nanɔ fli enelia me. Tsɔ sika gbi kae fa ɖe wo ŋuti.
The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
21 Kpeawo katã nanɔ wuieve, ɖe sia ɖe ɖe Israel ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe ŋkɔ nu. Woaɖe Israelviwo ƒe to wuieveawo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe kpeawo dzi ɖekaɖeka abe ŋkɔsigɛ ene.
The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.
22 Tsɔ ka si wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ gbie la ɖo akɔtawu la ŋu.
And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.
23 Wɔ sikagagodo eve nɛ, eye nàtsɔ wo asa ɖe akɔtaɖonu la ƒe dzogoe eve dzi.
And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.
24 Tsɔ sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ eve sa ɖe gagodo siwo le akɔtaɖonu la ƒe dzogoe eveawo ŋu la ŋu.
Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;
25 Na woatɔ sikakɔsɔkɔsɔawo ƒe nu eveliawo ɖe onikskpe eveawo ŋu le akɔtawu la ƒe ŋgɔgbe.
Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.
26 Emegbe la, gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve, eye nàtsɔ wo aku akɔtawu la te le eme gome.
Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.
27 Gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve na dziwui ʋlaya la te le eŋgɔ, le alidziblanu la ŋu.
And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:
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.
So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose 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 so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord.
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 in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.
31 “Tsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ tɔ awu ʋlaya si le kɔmewu la te,
The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made 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.
With a hole at the top, in the middle of it; the hole is to be edged with a band to make it strong like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, so that it may not be broken open.
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 round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;
34 Yevuboɖawo kple sikanyawowoeawo naɖɔli wo nɔewo ale be sikanyawowoe ɖeka nanɔ yevuboɖa ɖeka yome.
A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.
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.
Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.
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.
You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.
37 Woatsɔ ka blɔtɔ atsi sikanu sia ɖe tablanu la ƒe ŋgonu.
Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:
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 will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.
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.
The coat is to be made of the best linen, worked in squares; and you are to make a head-dress of linen, and a linen band worked in needlework.
40 “Wɔ awu ʋlayawo, alidziblanuwo kple tablanuwo na Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo be woade bubu wo ŋu.
And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour.
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.
These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me.
42 Tsɔ ɖeti ɣi lɔ̃ avɔ si woatsɔ atɔ atakpui na wo woado ɖe awuawo te. Atakpuiawo natso alime va se ɖe klonu.
And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee;
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.”
Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.
