And do thou take to thyself both Aaron thy brother, and his sons, even [them] of the children of Israel; so that Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron, may minister to me.
2 Tɔ awu kɔkɔewo na nɔviwò ŋutsu Aron be woade kɔkɔ kple bubu eŋu.
And thou shalt make holy apparel for Aaron thy brother, for honour and glory.

And speak thou to all those who are wise in understanding, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom and perception; and they shall make the holy apparel of Aaron for the sanctuary, in which [apparel] he shall minister to me as 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.
And these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-plate, and the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the tunic with a fringe, and the tire, and the girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests.
5 “Na woatsɔ sika, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hɛ̃tɔ kple ɖetika ɣitɔ alɔ̃ awu siawoe.
And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
6 “Aɖaŋuvɔlɔ̃la xɔŋkɔwo natsɔ sika, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ kple kadada nyuitɔ alɔ̃ kɔmewu lae.
And they shall make the shoulder-piece of fine linen spun, the woven work of the embroiderer.
7 Woatɔe awu evee: ŋgɔgbetɔ kple megbetɔ, eye woakpe wo ɖe abɔta.
It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined together, fastened on the two sides.
8 Woatsɔ avɔ ma tɔgbi ke, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ kple kadada nyuitɔ ƒe avɔ awɔ alidziblanu la hãe.
And the woven work of the shoulder-pieces which is upon it, shall be of one piece according to the work, of pure gold and blue and purple, and spun scarlet and fine twined linen.
9 Emegbe tsɔ onikskpe eve, eye nàŋlɔ Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe wo dzi.
And thou shalt take the two stones, the stones of emerald, and thou shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel.
10 Ŋkɔ ade nanɔ kpe ɖeka dzi, eye woaɖo ŋkɔawo ɖe woƒe tsitsi nu.
Six names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second stone, according to their births.

[It shall be] the work of the stone-engraver's art; as the graving of a seal thou shalt engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel.
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 thou shalt put the two stones on the shoulders of the shoulder-piece: they are memorial-stones for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel before the Lord on his two shoulders, a memorial for them.
13 Na woatsɔ sika nyuitɔ awɔ sikakawo
And thou shalt make circlets of pure gold;
14 kple sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ eve siwo adidi abe ka ene, eye woatsɔ wo aku sikasigɛ siwo le kɔmewu la ƒe abɔtawo.
and thou shalt make two fringes of pure gold, variegated with flowers wreathen work; and thou shalt put the wreathen fringes on the circlets, fastening them on their shoulder-pieces in front.
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 thou shalt make the oracle of judgment, the work of the embroiderer: in keeping with the ephod, thou shalt make it of gold, and blue and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun.
16 Wɔe ɖe dzogoe ene me, eƒe didime nanye sentimita blaeve-vɔ-eve, eye eƒe kekeme hã nanɔ nenema. Emegbe woaŋee ɖe eve.
Thou shalt make it square: it shall be double; of a span the length of it, and of a span the breadth.
17 Tsɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖo agbaka ene me ɖe eŋu. Kanelian, krisolit kple beril nanɔ fli gbãtɔ me;
And thou shalt interweave with it a texture of four rows of stone; there shall be a row of stones, a sardius, a topaz, and emerald, the first row.

And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
19 Yasint, agate kple ametist nanɔ fli etɔ̃lia me.
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, an amethyst:
20 Topaz, oniks kple yaspa nanɔ fli enelia me. Tsɔ sika gbi kae fa ɖe wo ŋuti.
and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and a beryl, and an onyx stone, set round with gold, bound together with gold: let them be according to their row.
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.
And let the stones of the names of the children of Israel be twelve according to their names, engravings as of seals: let them be for the twelve tribes each according to the name.
22 Tsɔ ka si wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ gbie la ɖo akɔtawu la ŋu.
And thou shalt make on the oracle woven fringes, a chain-work of pure gold.
23 Wɔ sikagagodo eve nɛ, eye nàtsɔ wo asa ɖe akɔtaɖonu la ƒe dzogoe eve dzi.
And Aaron shall take the names of the children of Israel, on the oracle of judgment on his breast; a memorial before God for him as he goes into the sanctuary.
24 Tsɔ sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ eve sa ɖe gagodo siwo le akɔtaɖonu la ƒe dzogoe eveawo ŋu la ŋu.
And thou shalt put the fringes on the oracle of judgment; thou shalt put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle,
25 Na woatɔ sikakɔsɔkɔsɔawo ƒe nu eveliawo ɖe onikskpe eveawo ŋu le akɔtawu la ƒe ŋgɔgbe.
and thou shalt put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front.
26 Emegbe la, gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve, eye nàtsɔ wo aku akɔtawu la te le eme gome.
And thou shalt put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of judgment; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgments of the children of Israel on his breast before the Lord continually.
27 Gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve na dziwui ʋlaya la te le eŋgɔ, le alidziblanu la ŋu.
And thou shalt make the full-length tunic all of blue.
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 the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of the same piece that it might not be rent.
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 under the fringe of the robe below thou shalt make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these.
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.
A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.
31 “Tsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ tɔ awu ʋlaya si le kɔmewu la te,
And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and has he goes out, that he die not.
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 thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and thou shalt grave on it [as] the graving of a signet, Holiness of the Lord.
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 thou shalt put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the mitre: it shall be in the front of the mitre.
34 Yevuboɖawo kple sikanyawowoeawo naɖɔli wo nɔewo ale be sikanyawowoe ɖeka nanɔ yevuboɖa ɖeka yome.
And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the sins of their holy things, all that the children of Israel shall sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord.
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 the fringes of the garments [shall be] of fine linen; and thou shalt make a tire of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.
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 for the sons of Aaron thou shalt make tunics and girdles, and thou shalt make for them tires for honour and glory.
37 Woatsɔ ka blɔtɔ atsi sikanu sia ɖe tablanu la ƒe ŋgonu.
And thou shalt put them on Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, and thou shalt anoint them and fill their hands: and thou shalt sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
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 thou shalt make for them linen drawers to cover the nakedness of their flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs.
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 Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest they die: [it is] a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him.
40 “Wɔ awu ʋlayawo, alidziblanuwo kple tablanuwo na Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo be woade bubu wo ŋu.
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.
