“Summon your [older] brother Aaron and his sons—Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ([Set them apart/They are the ones whom I have chosen]) from [the rest of] the Israeli people, in order that they can serve me [by being] priests.
2 A e hana hoi oe i aahu laa no Aarona, no kou kaikuaana, i mea nani, a i mea maikai.
[Tell the people to] make beautiful clothes for Aaron, clothes that are [suitable for one who] has this dignified and sacred [work].
3 E olelo aku no hoi oe i ka poe a pau i akamai ma ka naau, ka poe a'u i hoopiha ai i ka manao akamai, e hana lakou i ko Aarona mau aahu, e hookapu ia ia, i lawelawe oia na'u, ma ka oihana a ke kahuna.
Talk to all the skilled workmen, those to whom I have given special ability. [Tell them] to make clothes for Aaron, for him to wear when he is (set apart/dedicated) [to become] a priest to serve me.
4 Eia na aahu a lakou e hana'i: he paleumauma, he epoda, he holoku, he palule onionio, he papale hainika, a me ke kaei. E hana no lakou i aahu kapu no Aarona, kou kaikuaana, a no kana mau keikikane, i lawelawe oia na'u ma ka oihana a ke kahuna.
These are the clothes that they are to make: A sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest, a sacred apron, a robe, an embroidered tunic/gown, a (turban/cloth to wrap around his head), and a sash/waistband. These are the clothes that your [older] brother Aaron and his sons must wear as they serve me [by doing the work that] priests do.
5 A e lawe lakou i gula, a i lole uliuli, a i poni, a i ulaula, a i keokeo.
The skilled workmen must use fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make these clothes.”
6 E hana lakou i ka epoda, he gula, a he lole uliuli, i poni, a ulaula, a he olona i hiloia, i humuhumuia e ka poe akamai.
“The skilled workmen must make the sacred apron from fine linen, and skillfully embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.

[A skilled workman] must take two [expensive] onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
10 Eono o lakou inoa ma kekahi pohaku, a o na inoa eono i koe, ma kekahi pohaku, e like me ko lakou hanau ana.
He must engrave the names in the order in which Jacob’s sons were born. He must engrave six names on one stone, and the other six names on the other stone.
11 Me ka hana a ka mea kahakaha pohaku, o ke kahakaha ana o ka hoailona, pela oe e kahakaha ai i na pohaku elua, me na inoa o na keiki a Iseraela; e hana oe ia mau mea e kau maloko o na kawaha gula.
A gem-cutter should engrave these names on the stones. Then he should enclose the stones in (settings/tiny gold frames).
12 A e kau oe ia mau pohaku elua maluna o na poohiwi o ka epoda, i mau pohaku e hoomanao ai i na keiki a Iseraela; a e lawe no o Aarona i ko lakou inoa imua o Iehova, maluna o kona mau poohiwi elua, i mea e hoomanao ai.
Then he should fasten the stones onto the shoulder straps [of the sacred apron], to represent the twelve Israeli tribes. In that way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes on his shoulders in order that [I], Yahweh, will never forget [my people] (OR, in order that [he will always] remember that [those tribes belong to] Yahweh).
13 E hana oe i mau kawaha gula:
The settings for the stones must be made from gold.

“[Tell the skilled workman to] make a sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest. [He will use the things he puts into the pouch] to determine [my answers to the questions he asks]. It must be made of the same materials as the sacred apron, and embroidered in the same way.
16 Eha ona mau aoao ahalike, a papalua hoi: hookahi kikoo kona loihi, a hookahi kikoo kona laula.
It is to be square, and the material must be folded double, so that it is (9 in./22 cm.) on each side.

A gem-cutter should engrave on each of these twelve stones the name of one of the sons of Jacob. These names will represent the twelve Israeli tribes.
22 A e hana oe ma ka paleumauma, i elua kaula ma na welau, he gula maikai i hiloia.
The two [chains] that are made from pure gold and braided like cords are for [attaching] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].
23 A e hana no hoi oe ma ka paleumauma, i elua apo gula, a e hookomo i na apo ma na welau elua o ka paleumauma.
[The workman must] make two gold rings, and attach them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.
24 A e hookomo oe i ua mau kaula hilo la elua, na kaula gula, iloko o na apo elua ma na welau o ka paleumauma.
[He must make] two gold cords, and fasten one end of each cord to one of the rings.
25 A o kekahi mau welau elua o na kaula hilo elua, e hoopaa oe ia ma na kawaha, a e kau hoi maluna o na apana poohiwi elua o ka epoda, ma ke alo.
He must fasten the other end of each cord to the two settings [that enclose the stones]. In that way, the sacred pouch will be attached to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron.
26 E hana no hoi oe i elua apo gula, a e hookomo oe ia i na welau elua o ka paleumauma, ma kona kae, ma ka aoao maloko o ka epoda.
Then [he must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower corners of the sacred pouch, on the inside edges, next to the sacred apron.
27 A e hana oe i elua apo gula, a e hookomo ia ma na apana poohiwi elua o ka epoda malalo, ma ke alo hoi e ku pono ana i kona mau huina, maluna o ke kaei o ka epoda.
[He must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower part of the front of the shoulder straps, near to where [the shoulder straps] are joined [to the sacred apron], just above the carefully-woven sash/waistband.
28 A e nakiki lakou i ka paleumauma ma kona mau apo a i na apo o ka epoda me ke kaula uliuli, i kau oia maluna o ke kaei o ka epoda, i hemo ole ai ka paleumauma, mai ka epoda aku.
The skilled workman must tie the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch is above the sash/waistband and does not come loose from the sacred apron.
29 A e lawe o Aarona i na inoa o na keiki a Iseraela ma ka paleumauma o ka hooponopono ma kona naau, i ka wa e hele aku ai ia i kahi kapu, i mea e hoomanao mau ai imua o Iehova.
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 A e kau oe iloko o ka paleumauma o ka hooponopono i ka Urima, a me ke Tumima, a e mau no laua ma ka naau o Aarona, ia ia e hele aku ai imua o Iehova. A lawe mau no o Aarona i ka hooponopono ana o na mamo a Iseraela, ma kona naau, imua o Iehova.
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 E hana oe i ka holoku o ka epoda, he uliuli wale no.
“[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.
32 He puka no mawaenakonu ona maluna, a o ka pelupelu ana ma ke kae o ka puka, he mea i ulanaia, e like me ka puka o ka puliki koa nahae ole.
It is to have an opening through which [the priest] can put his head. They must sew a border around this opening, to keep the material from tearing.
33 A ma kona mau lepa, e hana oe i mau pomeraite, he uliuli, he poni, he ulaula, a puni kona lepa, a he mau bele gula mawaena o lakou a puni:
At the lower edge on the robe, they must fasten [decorations that look like] pomegranate fruit. They must be [woven from] blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
34 He bele gula, a me ka pomeraite, a he bele gula, a me ka pomeraite, ma ka lepa o ka holoku a puni.
Between each of these decorations, they must fasten a tiny gold bell.
35 A maluna ia o Aarona e lawelawe ai; a e loheia kona kani ana, i kona wa e hele aku ai i kahi kapu, imua o Iehova, a i kona wa e puka aku ai iwaho, i ole ia e make.
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 E hana hoi oe i papa gula maikai, a e kahakaha hoi i ke kahakaha ana o ka hoailona, UA LAA NO IEHOVA.
“[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.’
37 A e hoopaa oe ia mea me ke kaula uliuli, i paa ia maluna o ka papale hainika, ma ke alo o ka papale ia e kau ai.
They should fasten this ornament to the front of the turban by a blue cord.
38 A e kauia ia mea ma ka lae o Aarona, i lawe o Aarona i ka hewa o na mea laa, na mea a na mamo a Iseraela e hoolaa ai, i ko lakou mau makana laa a pau: a e mau no ia ma kona lae, i aponoia'i lakou imua o Iehova.
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 E hoonionio oe i ka palule olona, a e hana oe i ka papale hainika, he olona; a e hana oe i ke kaei, he humuhumu onionio.
“[Tell them to] weave the long-sleeved tunic/gown from fine linen. Also, they must make from fine linen a turban and a sash/waistband, and embroider [designs on it].
40 E hana no hoi oe i mau palule no na keikikane a Aarona, a e hana hoi i mau kaei no lakou; e hana no hoi i mau papale no lakou, i mea nani, a i mea maikai.
“[Tell them to] make beautiful long-sleeved tunics/gowns, sashes, and caps for Aaron’s sons. Make ones that will be suitable for those who have this dignified work.
41 A e kau no oe ia mau mea maluna o Aarona o kou kaikuaana, a me kana mau keikikane pu me ia; a e poni oe ia lakou, a e hoolaa ia lakou, a e hookahuna ia lakou, i lawelawe lakou na'u ma ka oihana a ke kahuna.
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 E hana oe i wawae olona e uhi ai i ko lakou wahi huna; mai ka puhaka a i ka uha ka loihi:
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 Maluna o Aarona ia mea, a maluna o kana mau keikikane, ia lakou e hele mai ai iloko o ka halelewa o ka ahakanaka, a ia lakou e hookokoke mai ai i ke kuahu, e lawelawe ma kahi kapu, i kau ole ai ka hewa maluna o lakou a make. He kanawai mau loa ia nona, a no kana poe mama mahope ona.
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.”
