Take unto thee also Aaron thy brother with his sons, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

And thou shalt speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s vestments, in which he being consecrated may minister to me.
4 Nacio ici nĩcio nguo iria megũtuma: gakuo ga gĩthũri, na ebodi, na nguo ndaaya, na kanjũ ya taama ngʼemie wega, na kĩremba, na mũcibi. Nguo ici nyamũre megũcitumĩra Harũni mũrũ wa nyũkwa na ariũ ake nĩguo mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
5 Nĩ mahũthĩre thahabu, na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, hamwe na gatani ĩrĩa njega.
And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen.
6 “Tuma ebodi ya ndigi cia rangi wa thahabu na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ na ya gatani ĩrĩa yogothetwo wega, wĩra wa mũbundi mũũgĩ.
And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.
7 Nĩ wega ebodi ĩyo ĩgĩe na tũmĩkwa twĩrĩ twa kũmĩnyiitithanĩria ciande-inĩ, tũtumĩrĩirwo mĩthia-inĩ yeerĩ yayo nĩgeetha ndaamĩ ciayo cierĩ inyiitane.
It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.
8 Naguo mũcibi wayo wa njohero ũrĩa mũtume wega ũkorwo ũhaana tayo na ũrĩ wa gĩcunjĩ kĩmwe na ebodi ĩyo na ũthondeketwo na ndigi cia rangi wa thahabu, na ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ, hamwe na gatani njogothe wega.
The very workmanship also and all the variety of the work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
9 “Oya tũhiga twĩrĩ twa onigithi ũkurure marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli igũrũ rĩatuo
And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 marũmanĩrĩire ũrĩa maaciarirwo, ũkurure marĩĩtwa matandatũ kahiga-inĩ kamwe, na matandatũ kau kangĩ.
Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
11 Kurura marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli tũhiga-inĩ tũu twĩrĩ ta ũrĩa mũrengi wa tũhiga twa goro akururaga kahengere ga gwĩkĩra mũhũũri. Ũcooke ũtũtumĩrĩre tũkonyo-inĩ twa thahabu,
With the work of an engraver and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:
12 na ũtuoherere ndaamĩ-inĩ cia kĩande cia ebodi, tũrĩ tũhiga twa kĩririkania kĩa ariũ a Isiraeli. Harũni nĩarĩkuuaga marĩĩtwa macio ciande-inĩ ciake matuĩke kĩririkania mbere ya Jehova.
And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.
13 Thondeka tũkonyo tũgemu twa thahabu
Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.
14 na irengeeri igĩrĩ cia thahabu therie, ihaana ta mũkanda, nacio ũcinyiitithanie na tũkonyo tũu.
And two little chains of the purest gold linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
15 “Thondekithia gakuo ga gĩthũri ga gwĩkagĩrwo ituĩro-inĩ rĩa ciira, nako gatumwo nĩ mũtumi mũũgĩ. Gathondeke ta ebodi: karĩ ka ndigi cia rangi wa thahabu na ka ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na cia rangi wa ndathi, na cia rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ na gatani ĩrĩa yogothetwo wega.
And thou shalt make the rational of judgment with embroidered work of divers colours, according to the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
16 Gakuo kau gakorwo kaiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna inji kenda kũraiha na inji kenda kwarama, na koinanĩrwo maita meerĩ.
It shall be foursquare and doubled: it shall be the measure of a span both in length and in breadth.
17 Ũcooke ũgatumĩrĩre mĩhari ĩna ya tũhiga twa goro. Mũhari wa mbere hakorwo kahiga ka wakiki ũrĩa mũtune, na ka yakuti ĩrĩa ĩhaana ngoikoni, na ka baregethu;
And thou shalt set in it four rows of stones: in the first row shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald:
18 mũhari wa keerĩ ũtumĩrĩre kahiga ga thumarati, na ka yakuti ĩrĩa ya rangi wa bururu, na ka arimathi;
In the second a carbuncle, a sapphire and a jasper.
19 mũhari wa gatatũ ũtumĩrĩre kahiga ka wakiki ũrĩa wa bururu, na ka yacimu, na ka amethuthito;
In the third a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst:
20 naguo mũhari wa kana ũtumĩrĩrwo kahiga ga thumarati ĩrĩa theru, na ka onigithi, na ka njathibi. Ũtũtumĩrĩre tũkonyo-inĩ tũgemu twa thahabu.
In the fourth a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
21 Hagĩkorwo harĩ na tũhiga ikũmi na twĩrĩ, o kamwe karũgamĩrĩre marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli, o kamwe gakururwo rĩĩtwa rĩa mũhĩrĩga ũmwe wa ĩrĩa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa kahengere ka mũhũũri gakururagwo.
And they shall have the names of the children of Israel: with twelve names shall they be engraved, each stone with the name of one according to the twelve tribes.
22 “Thondekera gakuo kau ga gĩthũri irengeeri njogothe cia thahabu therie ihaana ta mũkanda.
And thou shalt make on the rational chains linked one to another of the purest gold:
23 Gathondekere mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu, ũmĩoherere mĩthia-inĩ ĩĩrĩ ya gakuo kau ga gĩthũri.
And two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two ends at the top of the rational.
24 Ohania irengeeri igĩrĩ cia thahabu mĩrĩnga-inĩ hau mĩthia-inĩ ya gakuo ga gĩthũri,
And the golden chains thou shalt join to the rings, that are in the ends thereof:
25 nayo mĩthia ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya irengeeri yohithanio na tũkonyo tũrĩa twĩrĩ, ũmĩnyiitithanie na ndaamĩ cia kĩande cia ebodi mwena wa na mbere.
And the ends of the chains themselves thou shalt join together with two hooks on both sides of the ephod, which is towards the rational.
26 Thondeka mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu ũmĩnyiitithanie na mĩthia ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ĩĩrĩ ya gakuo ga gĩthũri mwena wa na thĩinĩ kũrigania na ebodi.
Thou shalt make also two rings of gold which thou shalt put in the top parts of the rational, in the borders that are over against the ephod, and look towards the back parts thereof.
27 Thondeka mĩrĩnga ĩngĩ ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu na ũmĩnyiitithanie magũrũ-inĩ ma ndaamĩ cia kĩande mwena-inĩ wa mbere wa ebodi, hakuhĩ na rũtumo, igũrũ hanini wa mũcibi wa njohero ya ebodi.
Moreover also other two rings of gold, which are to be set on each side of the ephod beneath, that looketh towards the nether joining, that the rational may be fitted with the ephod,
28 Mĩrĩnga ya gakuo ga gĩthũri ĩrĩohithanagio na mĩrĩnga ya ebodi na rũrigi rwa bururu, na inyiitithanio na mũcibi wa njohero, nĩgeetha gakuo ga gĩthũri gatikarekanie na ebodi.
And may be fastened by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a violet fillet, that the joining artificially wrought may continue, and the rational and the ephod may not be loosed one from the other.
29 “Rĩrĩa rĩothe Harũni arĩĩtoonyaga Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, arĩkuuaga marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli marĩ gĩthũri-inĩ gĩake gakuo-inĩ ga gĩthũri ga ituĩro rĩa ciira, arĩ kĩririkania gĩa gũtũũra mbere ya Jehova.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the rational of judgement upon his breast, when he shall enter into the sanctuary, a memorial before the Lord for ever.
30 Ningĩ wĩkĩre Urimu na Thumimu thĩinĩ wa gakuo kau ga gĩthũri, nĩgeetha ciikarage gĩthũri-inĩ kĩa Harũni rĩrĩa rĩothe arĩĩtoonyaga agathiĩ mbere ya Jehova. Ũguo nĩguo Harũni arĩkuuaga ũhoti wa gũtuagĩra andũ a Isiraeli ciira gĩthũri-inĩ gĩake arĩ mbere ya Jehova.
And thou shalt put in the rational of judgment doctrine and truth, which shall be on Aaron’s breast, when he shall go in before the Lord: and he shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his breast, in the sight of the Lord always.
31 “Tuma nguo ndaaya ya ebodi ya taama wa bururu mũtheri,
And thou shalt make the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
32 na ĩkorwo na harũkĩrio ya mũtwe gatagatĩ kayo. Ĩkorwo ĩtirihĩtwo mĩthia-inĩ ta kara ya ngingo gũthiũrũrũkĩria iharũkĩrio rĩu rĩa mũtwe, nĩgeetha ndĩgatarũke.
In the midst whereof above shall be a hole for the head, and a border round about it woven, as is wont to be made in the outmost parts of garments, that it may not easily be broken.
33 Thondeka tũcunjuura tũtariĩ ta matunda ma makomamanga twa ndigi cia rangi wa bururu, na rangi wa ndathi, na rangi mũtune ta gakarakũ gũthiũrũrũka rũtumo rwa magũrũ-inĩ rwa nguo ĩyo, tũhakanĩtio na ngengere cia thahabu.
And beneath at the feet of the same tunick round about, thou shalt make as it were pomegranates, of violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with little bells set between:
34 Ngengere cia thahabu na makomamanga macio mathiĩ mahakanĩtio gũthiũrũrũka rũtumo rwa magũrũ-inĩ rwa nguo ĩyo ndaaya.
So that there shall be a golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
35 Harũni no nginya ehumbage nguo ĩyo hĩndĩ ciothe rĩrĩa egũtungata. Ngengere nĩirĩiguagwo ikĩgamba rĩrĩa egũtoonya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru o hau mbere ya Jehova na rĩrĩa ekuuma ho, nĩgeetha ndagakue.
And Aaron shall be vested with it in the office of his ministry, that the sound may be heard, when he goeth in and cometh out of the sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and that he may not die.
36 “Thondeka gatanji ga thahabu therie, na ũgakurure ta ũrĩa mũhũũri ũkururagwo, ũkurure ciugo ici: MŨTHERU MWAMŨRĨRE JEHOVA.
Thou shalt make also a plate of the purest gold: wherein thou shalt grave with engraver’s work, Holy to the Lord.
37 Koherere rũrigi rwa rangi wa bururu nĩguo ũkanyiitithanie na kĩremba, gakorwo karĩ mwena wa mbere wa kĩremba.
And thou shalt tie it with a violet fillet, and it shall be upon the mitre,
38 Karĩkoragwo karĩ thiithi-inĩ wa Harũni, nake agakuuaga mahĩtia makoniĩ iheo iria theru, iria andũ a Isiraeli mangĩkorwo mamũrĩire Jehova, o na irĩ cia mũthemba o na ũrĩkũ. Gatanji kau gakoragwo karĩ thiithi-inĩ wa Harũni hĩndĩ ciothe nĩgeetha magetĩkĩrĩkaga nĩ Jehova.
Hanging over the forehead of the high priest. And Aaron shall bear the iniquities of those things, which the children of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and offerings. And the plate shall be always on his forehead, that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
39 “Kanjũ nĩĩtumwo ĩrĩ ya gatani ĩrĩa njega mũno, o na ũtume kĩremba na gatani ĩrĩa njega mũno. Mũcibi ũtumwo nĩ mũgemia ũrĩa mũũgĩ na wĩra ũcio.
And thou shalt gird the tunick with fine linen, and thou shalt make a fine linen mitre, and a girdle of embroidered work.
40 Tumĩra ariũ a Harũni kanjũ, na mĩcibi, na tũmĩcibi twa kĩongo, cia gũtũma manenehagio na maheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
Moreover for the sons of Aaron thou shalt prepare linen tunicks, and girdles and mitres for glory and beauty:
41 Warĩkia kũhumba mũrũ wa nyũkwa na ariũ ake nguo icio-rĩ, ũmaitĩrĩrie maguta na ũmaamũre. Ũmaamũre nĩgeetha mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
And with all these things thou shalt vest Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him. And thou shalt consecrate the hands of them all, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
42 “Matumithĩrie thuruarĩ cia thĩinĩ cia gatani, cia kũhumbĩra njaga ya mĩĩrĩ yao kuuma njohero nginya ciero-inĩ.
Thou shalt make also linen breeches, to cover the flesh of their nakedness from the reins to the thighs:
43 Harũni na ariũ ake no nginya maciĩhumbage rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩtoonyaga Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo kana magĩthengerera kĩgongona marutĩre wĩra Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru nĩgeetha matikahĩtie, nao makue. “Ũyũ nĩũtuĩke watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo tene na tene nĩ Harũni na njiaro ciake.
And Aaron and his sons shall use them when they shall go in to the tabernacle of the testimony, or when they approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary, lest being guilty of iniquity they die. It shall be a law for ever to Aaron, and to his seed after him.
