Egzòd 28
1 W'a pran Arawon ak pitit li yo: Nadab, Abiyou, Eleaza, Itama, w'a wete yo nan mitan moun Izrayèl yo, w'a fè yo vin jwenn ou. W'a mete yo apa pou yo sèvi m' prèt.
“Next, have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to serve Me as priests.
2 W'a fè rad pou Arawon, frè ou la, rad pou li mete lè l'ap fè sèvis, pou l' ka byen abiye, pou moun ka rekonèt grad li.
Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.
3 W'a pale ak atizan ki konnen metye yo byen. Se mwen menm ki ba yo tout ladrès yo genyen an. W'a mande yo pou yo fè rad Arawon yo, pou ou ka mete l' apa pou mwen pou l' ka sèvi m' prèt.
You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.
4 Men ki rad pou yo fè: yon plastwon, yon jile, yon gwo rad long, yon chemiz byen bwode, yon gwo mouchwa pou vlope tèt ak yon sentiwon. y'a fè rad sa yo pou Arawon, frè ou la, ak pou pitit li yo pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt.
These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests.
5 Pou fè travay la, atizan yo va sèvi ak lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen.
They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
6 y'a fè jile a ak lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere. y'a fè bèl bodri byen fèt sou li.
They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
7 Va gen de zèpòlèt, yonn chak bò jile a. Se yo ki pou tache moso devan an ak moso dèyè a ansanm.
It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
8 Bèl sentiwon byen bwode ki pou kenbe jile a va fè yon sèl pyès ak li, ak menm kalite bodri a sou li tou. y'a fè l' an lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj, ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere.
And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
9 W'a pran de pyè oniks, w'a grave non branch fanmi douz pitit Izrayèl yo sou yo.
Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
10 W'a grave non sis sou yon pyè, ak non sis sou lòt la, dapre laj yo, depi pi gran an jouk pi piti a.
six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.
11 Avèk ladrès òfèv ki konn grave non sou bag, ou ankò ladrès atizan ki konn fè so, w'a grave non branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo sou de pyè yo, epi w'a moute pyè yo chak sou yon moso lò.
Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings.
12 W'a moute yo sou de zèpòlèt jile a pou yo pa bliye branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo. Konsa, Arawon va pote non yo sou zepòl li pou Seyè a pa janm bliye yo.
Fasten both stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.
13 W'a pran de moso lò pou moute pyè yo sou yo.
Fashion gold filigree settings
14 W'a fè de ti chenn ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen. Chenn yo va trese tankou ti kòdon. W'a tache yo sou moso lò yo.
and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.
15 W'a fè yon plastwon pou yo mete bagay y'a sèvi pou chache konnen sa Bondye vle. Se yon bon atis ki pou fè travay bodri a tankou pou jile a. W'a fè l' an lò ak twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere.
You are also to make a breastpiece of judgment with the same workmanship as the ephod. Construct it with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
16 Plastwon an va mezire nèf pous kare kare, l'a double.
It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
17 W'a moute kat ranje pyè sou li. Nan premye ranje a, va gen yon pyè woubi, yon pyè topaz ak yon pyè emwòd.
And mount on it a setting of gemstones, four rows of stones: In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
18 Nan dezyèm ranje a, va gen yon pyè malachi, yon pyè safi ak yon pyè dyaman.
in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19 Nan twazyèm ranje a, va gen yon pyè opal, yon pyè agat ak yon pyè ametis.
in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20 Nan katriyèm ranje a, va gen yon pyè krizolit, yon pyè oniks ak yon pyè jasp. y'a moute tout pyè sa yo chak sou yon moso lò.
and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
21 Va gen douz pyè ak non branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo grave sou yo, yon non sou chak pyè. y'a grave non yo tankou lè òfèv ap grave bag.
The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
22 W'a pran pi bon kalite lò ki genyen, w'a fè de ti chenn pou plastwon an. W'a trese yo tankou ti kòdon.
For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
23 W'a fè de ti bag an lò, w'a tache yo nan de bout anwo plastwon an.
You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.
24 W'a mare de ti chenn yo nan de bag yo.
Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
25 W'a pran de lòt bout chenn yo, w'a fè yo pase pa devan jile a, w'a tache yo sou de moso lò ki sou zèpòlèt jile a.
and fasten the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
26 W'a fè ankò de lòt bag an lò, w'a tache yo nan de bout anba plastwon an sou lanvè, nan bòdi a toupre jile a.
Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
27 W'a fè de lòt bag an lò ankò, w'a tache yo anba zèpòlèt jile a pa devan, toupre kouti a anwo tèt sentiwon bwode a.
Make two additional gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near its seam just above its woven waistband.
28 y'a mare de bag plastwon an ak de bag jile a ansanm ak yon kòdon ble pou plastwon an bat sou sentiwon jile a. Konsa, plastwon an p'ap ka soti detache sou jile a.
The rings of the breastpiece shall be tied to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece is above the waistband of the ephod and does not swing out from the ephod.
29 Lè Arawon va antre nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a, l'a pote non branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo sou kè l', sou plastwon an, konsa Seyè a p'ap janm bliye yo.
Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he shall bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of judgment, as a continual reminder before the LORD.
30 W'a mete nan plastwon an ourim yo ak toumim yo. Konsa, Arawon va pote yo sou kè l' lè l'ap parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a. Lè l'a kanpe devan lòtèl Seyè a, l'a toujou pote sou kè l' sa li sèvi pou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen volonte m'.
And place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD.
31 W'a pran twal ble pou fè rad ki ale anba jile a.
You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
32 Nan mitan rad la, w'a fè yon twou pou l' pase tèt li. W'a mete yon doubli nan ankoli a, tankou yo fè l' pou varèz an po bèt yo, pou li pa chire.
with an opening at its top in the center. Around the opening shall be a woven collar with an opening like that of a garment, so that it will not tear.
33 Sou tout woulèt anba rad la, w'a pran twal ble, violèt ak wouj, w'a fè bodri an fòm grenad ak ti klòch an lò nan mitan yo.
Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,
34 Sou tout woulèt rad la va gen yon grenad, yon ti klòch, yon grenad, yon ti klòch, jouk yo fè tout tou rad la.
alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.
35 Se rad sa a Arawon va mete sou li lè li pral fè sèvis. Lè l'ap antre kote yo mete apa pou Bondye a pou l' parèt devan lòtèl Seyè a, ansanm ak lè l'ap soti, y'a tande ti klòch yo ap sonnen. Konsa li p'ap mouri.
Aaron must wear the robe whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters or exits the sanctuary before the LORD, so that he will not die.
36 W'a fè fè yon ti plak ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen. Tankou lè y'ap fè so, w'a grave pawòl sa a sou li: Apa pou Seyè a.
You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
37 W'a mare l' sou devan mouchwa tèt la avèk yon ti kòdon ble.
Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
38 Arawon va mete l' sou fwon li, konsa Arawon va pran sou tèt li tou sa pèp Izrayèl la va fè ki mal lè y'ap pote ofrann apa yo bay Seyè a. Arawon va toujou pote l' sou fwon li pou ofrann yo ka toujou fè Seyè a plezi.
And it will be worn on Aaron’s forehead, so that he may bear the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate with regard to all their holy gifts. It shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be acceptable before the LORD.
39 W'a fè chemiz la ak mouchwa tèt la ak twal fen blan, ansanm ak yon sentiwon bwode byen bèl.
You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.
40 W'a fè rad, sentiwon ak bonnèt pou pitit gason Arawon yo tou, pou yo ka byen abiye pou moun ka rekonèt grad yo.
Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.
41 Apre sa, w'a mete rad yo sou Arawon, frè ou la, ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo. Lèfini, w'a vide lwil sou tèt yo, w'a ba yo pouvwa pou yo fè sèvis Bondye. W'a mete yo apa pou mwen pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt.
After you put these garments on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint them, ordain them, and consecrate them so that they may serve Me as priests.
42 W'a fè kalson ak twal fen pou yo pou kò yo pa parèt anba rad la. Kalson yo va pran depi nan ren desann wotè jenou yo.
Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.
43 Se pou Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo toujou pote kalson yo lè y'ap antre nan Tant Randevou a, osinon lè y'ap pwoche bò lòtèl la pou fè sèvis nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Konsa, yo p'ap fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap mouri. Sa se yon lwa k'ap la pou tout tan pou Arawon ak tout pitit pitit gason li yo apre li.
Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants.
