These are the clothes for them to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a pleated tunic, a turban, and a sash. These are the holy clothes they shall make for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they can serve me as priests.
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.
The workers are to use gold thread, together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun 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.
They are to make the ephod of finely-woven linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and crimson thread, skillfully worked.
7 Nĩ wega ebodi ĩyo ĩgĩe na tũmĩkwa twĩrĩ twa kũmĩnyiitithanĩria ciande-inĩ, tũtumĩrĩirwo mĩthia-inĩ yeerĩ yayo nĩgeetha ndaamĩ ciayo cierĩ inyiitane.
Two shoulder pieces are to be attached to the front and back pieces.
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 waistband of the ephod is to be one piece made in the same way, using gold thread, with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and with finely-woven linen.
9 “Oya tũhiga twĩrĩ twa onigithi ũkurure marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a Isiraeli igũrũ rĩatuo
Engrave on two onyx stones the names of the Israelite tribes,

Attach both stones to the shoulder pieces of the ephod as reminders for the Israelite tribes. Aaron is to wear their names on his two shoulders to remind the Israelites that he represents them when he goes into the Lord's presence.
13 Thondeka tũkonyo tũgemu twa thahabu
Make ornamental gold settings
14 na irengeeri igĩrĩ cia thahabu therie, ihaana ta mũkanda, nacio ũcinyiitithanie na tũkonyo tũu.

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.
You are also to make a breastpiece for decisions in the same skilful way as the ephod, to be used in determining the Lord's will. Make it using gold thread, with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and with finely-woven linen.
16 Gakuo kau gakorwo kaiganaine mĩena yothe ĩna inji kenda kũraiha na inji kenda kwarama, na koinanĩrwo maita meerĩ.
It has to be square when folded, measuring around nine inches in length and width.

Each of the twelve stones will be engraved like a personal seal with the name of one of the twelve Israelites tribes and will represent them.
22 “Thondekera gakuo kau ga gĩthũri irengeeri njogothe cia thahabu therie ihaana ta mũkanda.
Make cords of braided chains from pure gold to attach the breastpiece.
23 Gathondekere mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu, ũmĩoherere mĩthia-inĩ ĩĩrĩ ya gakuo kau ga gĩthũri.
Make two gold rings and fasten them to the two top corners of the breastpiece.
24 Ohania irengeeri igĩrĩ cia thahabu mĩrĩnga-inĩ hau mĩthia-inĩ ya gakuo ga gĩthũri,
Attach the two gold chains to the two gold rings on the corners of the breastpiece,
25 nayo mĩthia ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya irengeeri yohithanio na tũkonyo tũrĩa twĩrĩ, ũmĩnyiitithanie na ndaamĩ cia kĩande cia ebodi mwena wa na mbere.
and then fasten the opposite ends of the two chains to the ornamental gold settings on the shoulder pieces of the front side of the ephod.
26 Thondeka mĩrĩnga ĩĩrĩ ya thahabu ũmĩnyiitithanie na mĩthia ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ĩĩrĩ ya gakuo ga gĩthũri mwena wa na thĩinĩ kũrigania na ebodi.
Make two more gold rings and attach them to the two lower corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
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.
Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the front side of the ephod, near where it joins its woven waistband.
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.
Tie the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue thread, so that the breastpiece won't come loose from the ephod.
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.
Like this, whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will wear the names of the Israelite tribes over his heart on the breastpiece, as a constant reminder before the Lord.
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.
Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of decision, so that they too will be over Aaron's heart whenever he comes into the Lord's presence. Aaron will continually carry the means of gaining decisions over his heart before the Lord.
31 “Tuma nguo ndaaya ya ebodi ya taama wa bururu mũtheri,
Make the robe that goes with the ephod exclusively from blue cloth,
32 na ĩkorwo na harũkĩrio ya mũtwe gatagatĩ kayo. Ĩkorwo ĩtirihĩtwo mĩthia-inĩ ta kara ya ngingo gũthiũrũrũkĩria iharũkĩrio rĩu rĩa mũtwe, nĩgeetha ndĩgatarũke.
with an opening in the middle at the top. Stitch a woven collar around the opening to strengthen it so it won't tear.
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.
Make pomegranates using blue, purple, and crimson thread and attach them all the way around its hem, with gold bells between them,
34 Ngengere cia thahabu na makomamanga macio mathiĩ mahakanĩtio gũthiũrũrũka rũtumo rwa magũrũ-inĩ rwa nguo ĩyo ndaaya.
having the gold bells and the pomegranates alternate.
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.
Aaron is to wear the robe whenever he serves, and the sound it makes will be heard when he enters or leaves the sanctuary as he goes into the Lord's presence, so that he won't die.
36 “Thondeka gatanji ga thahabu therie, na ũgakurure ta ũrĩa mũhũũri ũkururagwo, ũkurure ciugo ici: MŨTHERU MWAMŨRĨRE JEHOVA.
Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it like a seal, “Holy to the Lord.”
37 Koherere rũrigi rwa rangi wa bururu nĩguo ũkanyiitithanie na kĩremba, gakorwo karĩ mwena wa mbere wa kĩremba.
Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord.
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.
Aaron will wear it on his forehead, so that he may take responsibility for the guilt of the offerings the Israelites make, and this applies to all their holy gifts. It must always remain on his forehead in order that the people are accepted in the Lord's presence.
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.
Weave the tunic with finely-spun linen and make the turban of the same material, and also make sash and have it embroidered.
40 Tumĩra ariũ a Harũni kanjũ, na mĩcibi, na tũmĩcibi twa kĩongo, cia gũtũma manenehagio na maheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
Make tunics, sashes, and headdresses for Aaron's sons, so that they will look splendid and dignified.
41 Warĩkia kũhumba mũrũ wa nyũkwa na ariũ ake nguo icio-rĩ, ũmaitĩrĩrie maguta na ũmaamũre. Ũmaamũre nĩgeetha mandungatagĩre marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons and then anoint them and ordain them. Dedicate them so that they can serve me as priests.
42 “Matumithĩrie thuruarĩ cia thĩinĩ cia gatani, cia kũhumbĩra njaga ya mĩĩrĩ yao kuuma njohero nginya ciero-inĩ.
Make linen undershorts to cover their bare bodies, reaching from waist to thigh.
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.
Aaron and his sons are to wear them when they enter the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to serve in the Holy Place, so that they will not bring guilt on themselves and die. This is a law for Aaron and his descendants forever.
