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.
“And you, bring your brother Aaron near to you, 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;
2 Tɔ awu kɔkɔewo na nɔviwò ŋutsu Aron be woade kɔkɔ kple bubu eŋu.
and you have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and for beauty;
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.
and you speak to 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.
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 make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a girdle; indeed, they have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.
5 “Na woatsɔ sika, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hɛ̃tɔ kple ɖetika ɣitɔ alɔ̃ awu siawoe.
And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen,
6 “Aɖaŋuvɔlɔ̃la xɔŋkɔwo natsɔ sika, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ, dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ kple kadada nyuitɔ alɔ̃ kɔmewu lae.
and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of a designer;
7 Woatɔe awu evee: ŋgɔgbetɔ kple megbetɔ, eye woakpe wo ɖe abɔta.
it has two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.
8 Woatsɔ avɔ ma tɔgbi ke, aɖabɛka blɔtɔ kple dzĩtɔ kple hẽtɔ kple kadada nyuitɔ ƒe avɔ awɔ alidziblanu la hãe.
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.
9 Emegbe tsɔ onikskpe eve, eye nàŋlɔ Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe wo dzi.
And you have taken the two shoham stones, and have engraved the names of the sons of Israel on them;
10 Ŋkɔ ade nanɔ kpe ɖeka dzi, eye woaɖo ŋkɔawo ɖe woƒe tsitsi nu.
six of their names on the first stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;
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.
the work of an engraver of stone, [as] engravings of a signet—you engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones; encompassing, you make them [with] filigrees 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 you have set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial to the sons of Israel—and Aaron has borne their names before YHWH, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.
13 Na woatsɔ sika nyuitɔ awɔ sikakawo
And you have made filigrees of gold,
14 kple sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ eve siwo adidi abe ka ene, eye woatsɔ wo aku sikasigɛ siwo le kɔmewu la ƒe abɔtawo.
and you make them [with] two chains of pure gold [as] wreathed work, work of thick bands, and you have put the thick chains on the filigrees.
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 you have made a breastplate of judgment, the work of a designer; you make it according to the work of the ephod; you make it of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined 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 square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.
17 Tsɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖo agbaka ene me ɖe eŋu. Kanelian, krisolit kple beril nanɔ fli gbãtɔ me;
And you have set settings of stone in it, four rows of stone: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first row;
18 tɔkuɔs lapis lazuli kple emerald nanɔ fli evelia me.
and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;
19 Yasint, agate kple ametist nanɔ fli etɔ̃lia me.
and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst;
20 Topaz, oniks kple yaspa nanɔ fli enelia me. Tsɔ sika gbi kae fa ɖe wo ŋuti.
and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper; they are embroidered with gold in their settings,
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 the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, [as] engravings of a signet, each with his name; they are for the twelve tribes.
22 Tsɔ ka si wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ gbie la ɖo akɔtawu la ŋu.
And you have made wreathed chains on the breastplate, [the] work of thick bands of pure gold;
23 Wɔ sikagagodo eve nɛ, eye nàtsɔ wo asa ɖe akɔtaɖonu la ƒe dzogoe eve dzi.
and you have made two rings of gold on the breastplate, and have put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;
24 Tsɔ sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ eve sa ɖe gagodo siwo le akɔtaɖonu la ƒe dzogoe eveawo ŋu la ŋu.
and you have put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate;
25 Na woatɔ sikakɔsɔkɔsɔawo ƒe nu eveliawo ɖe onikskpe eveawo ŋu le akɔtawu la ƒe ŋgɔgbe.
and you put the two ends of the two thick bands on the two filigrees, and you have put [them] on the shoulders of the ephod toward the front of its face.
26 Emegbe la, gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve, eye nàtsɔ wo aku akɔtawu la te le eme gome.
And you have made two rings of gold, and have set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] toward the side of the ephod within it;
27 Gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve na dziwui ʋlaya la te le eŋgɔ, le alidziblanu la ŋu.
and you have made two rings of gold, and have put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, from beneath, in front of its face, close by its joining, above the girdle 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 bind the breastplate by its rings to 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.
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 has borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going into the holy place, for a memorial before YHWH 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 you have put the Lights and the Perfections into the breastplate of judgment, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before YHWH, and Aaron has borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before YHWH continually.
31 “Tsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ tɔ awu ʋlaya si le kɔmewu la te,
And you have made the upper robe of the ephod completely 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 the opening for his head has been in its midst; there is a border for its opening all around—the work of a weaver—[and] there is as the opening of a [linen] habergeon for it; it is 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 you have made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem all around, and bells of gold in their midst all around;
34 Yevuboɖawo kple sikanyawowoeawo naɖɔli wo nɔewo ale be sikanyawowoe ɖeka nanɔ yevuboɖa ɖeka yome.
a bell of gold and a pomegranate [and] a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe all around.
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 has been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound has been heard in his coming into the holy place before YHWH, and in his going out, and 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 you have made a flower of pure gold, and have engraved engravings of a signet on it: Holy to YHWH;
37 Woatsɔ ka blɔtɔ atsi sikanu sia ɖe tablanu la ƒe ŋgonu.
and you have put it on a blue ribbon, and it has been on the turban—it is toward the front of the face of the turban;
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 has been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron has borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it has been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before YHWH.
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 you have embroidered the coat of linen, and have made a turban of linen, and you make a girdle—the work of an embroiderer.
40 “Wɔ awu ʋlayawo, alidziblanuwo kple tablanuwo na Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo be woade bubu wo ŋu.
And you make coats for the sons of Aaron, and you have made girdles for them, and you make caps 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 you have clothed your brother Aaron with them, and his sons with him, and have anointed them, and have consecrated their hand, and have sanctified them, and they have been 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 make linen trousers for them to cover the naked flesh; they are from the loins even to the thighs;
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 have been on Aaron and on his sons in their going into the Tent of Meeting, or in their drawing near to the altar to minister in the holy place, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; [it is] a continuous statute to him and to his seed after him.”
