These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

"You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.
16 Wɔe ɖe dzogoe ene me, eƒe didime nanye sentimita blaeve-vɔ-eve, eye eƒe kekeme hã nanɔ nenema. Emegbe woaŋee ɖe eve.
It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.

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

You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.
26 Emegbe la, gawɔ sikasigɛ bubu eve, eye nàtsɔ wo aku akɔtawu la te le eme gome.
You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, 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.
You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, 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.
They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out 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.”
Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate for judging over his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, as a continual reminder before God.
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.
You are to put in the breastplate for judging the Urim and the Thummim; and they are to be over Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Jehovah. And Aaron will carry the means to make decisions for the children of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually.
31 “Tsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ tɔ awu ʋlaya si le kɔmewu la te,
"You 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.
It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be 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.
On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:
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, around the hem 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.
It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out, that he 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.
"You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO JEHOVAH.'
37 Woatsɔ ka blɔtɔ atsi sikanu sia ɖe tablanu la ƒe ŋgonu.
You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.
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.
It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on 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.
You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you 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.
"You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands 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.
You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on 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.
You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist 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.”
They shall be on Aaron, and on 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 do not bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
