In that way, Aaron will have the names of the twelve Israeli tribes in the sacred pouch close to his chest when he enters the Holy Place. This will remind him that I, Yahweh, [will never forget my people] (OR, [that he represents my people when he talks to me, Yahweh]).
30 Ka kuma sa Urim da Tummim a ƙyallen maƙalawa a ƙirji, don su kasance a zuciyar Haruna, a duk sa’ad da zai shiga gaban Ubangiji. Haka kuwa kullum Haruna zai riƙa kai koke-koken Isra’ilawa a gaban Ubangiji.
Put into the sacred pouch the two things that the priest will use to determine my answers to the questions he asks. In that way, they will be close to his chest when he enters [the Holy Place to talk] to me. He will use them to find out what is my will for the Israeli people.”
31 “Ka yi taguwar efod da shuɗi duka,
“[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.

When Aaron enters the Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to do his work as a priest and when he leaves the Sacred Tent, the bells will ring [as he walks]. As a result, he will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
36 “Ka yi allo na zinariya zalla, ka kuma yi rubutu a kansa kamar na hatimi, haka, Mai tsarki ga Ubangiji.
“[Tell them to] make a tiny ornament of pure gold, and tell a (skilled workman/gem-cutter) to engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh.’

Aaron must always wear this on his forehead. In that way, Aaron himself will show [that he accepts] the guilt if the Israeli people offer [their sacrifices] to me in a way that is not correct, and I, Yahweh, will accept their sacrifices.
39 “Ka saƙa doguwar riga da lallausan lilin ka kuma yi hula da lallausan zaren lilin, ka kuma saƙa abin ɗamara mai ado.

Put these clothes on your [older] brother Aaron and on his sons. Then (set them apart/dedicate them) for this work by anointing them [with olive oil], in order that they may serve me [by being] priests.
42 “Ka yi’yan wandunan ciki na lilin don su rufe tsiraicinsu, tsayinsu zai kama daga kwankwaso zuwa cinya.
Also [tell them to] make linen undershorts for them. The undershorts should extend from their waists to their thighs, in order that no one can see their private parts.
43 Dole Haruna da’ya’yansa su sa su sa’ad da za su shiga Tentin Sujada, ko sa’ad da suka kusace bagade domin hidima a Wuri Mai Tsarki, don kada su yi laifi, su kuma mutu. “Wannan za tă zama dawwammamiyar farilla wa Haruna da zuriyarsa har abada.
Aaron and his sons must always wear those undershorts when they enter the Sacred Tent or when they come near to the altar to offer sacrifices in the Holy Place. If they do not obey this command, I will cause them to die. Aaron and all his male descendants must obey this rule forever.”
