Esodo 39
1 Poi, con le stoffe tinte in violaceo, porporino e scarlatto, fecero de’ paramenti cerimoniali ben lavorati per le funzioni nel santuario, e fecero i paramenti sacri per Aaronne, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.
Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled workmen made the beautiful clothes for Aaron to wear while he did his work as a priest in the Holy Place. They made them from blue, purple, and red cloth, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
2 Si fece l’efod, d’oro, di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto, e di lino fino ritorto.
They made the sacred apron from fine white linen and from blue, purple, and red cloth.
3 E batteron l’oro in lamine e lo tagliarono in fili, per intesserlo nella stoffa violacea, porporina, scarlatta, e nel lino fino, e farne un lavoro artistico.
They hammered some thin sheets of gold and cut them into thin strips which they embroidered into the fine linen and into the blue, purple, and red cloth.
4 Gli fecero delle spallette, unite assieme; in guisa che l’efod era tenuto assieme mediante le sue due estremità.
The apron had two shoulder straps, to join the front part to the back part at the shoulders.
5 E la cintura artistica che era sull’efod per fissarlo, era tutta d’un pezzo con l’efod, e del medesimo lavoro d’esso: cioè, d’oro, di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto, e di lino fino ritorto, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.
A carefully-woven sash, which was made from the same materials as the sacred apron, was [sewn] onto the sacred apron. This was made exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
6 Poi lavorarono le pietre d’onice, incastrate in castoni d’oro, sulle quali incisero i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele, come s’incidono i sigilli.
They cut two valuable onyx stones and enclosed them in a tiny gold frame, and a skilled gem-cutter engraved on the stones the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
7 E le misero sulle spallette dell’efod, come pietre di ricordanza per i figliuoli d’Israele, nel modo che l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.
They fastened the stones to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron, to represent the twelve Israeli tribes, exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
8 Poi si fece il pettorale, artisticamente lavorato, come il lavoro dell’efod: d’oro, di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto, e di lino fino ritorto.
They made the sacred chest pouch. They made it of the same materials as the sacred apron and embroidered it in the same way.
9 Il pettorale era quadrato; e lo fecero doppio; avea la lunghezza d’una spanna e una spanna di larghezza; era doppio.
It was square, and the material was folded double, so that it was (9 in./22 cm.) long and (9 in./22 cm.) wide.
10 E v’incastonarono quattro ordini di pietre; nel primo ordine v’era un sardonio, un topazio e uno smeraldo;
They fastened four rows of valuable stones onto the pouch. In the first row, they put a [red] ruby, a [yellow] topaz, and a [red] garnet.
11 nel secondo ordine, un rubino, uno zaffiro, un calcedonio;
In the second row, they put a [green] emerald, a [blue] sapphire, and a [clear/white] diamond.
12 nel terzo ordine, un’opale, un’agata, un’ametista;
In the third row they put a [red] jacinth, a [white] agate, and a [purple] amethyst.
13 nel quarto ordine, un grisolito, un onice e un diaspro. Queste pietre erano incastrate nei loro castoni d’oro.
In the fourth row, they put a [yellow] beryl, a [red] carnelian, and a [green] jasper. They set each of the stones in tiny gold frames.
14 E le pietre corrispondevano ai nomi dei figliuoli d’Israele, ed erano dodici, secondo i loro nomi; erano incise come de’ sigilli, ciascuna col nome d’una delle dodici tribù.
On each of the twelve stones they engraved the name of one of the sons of Jacob, to represent one of the twelve Israeli tribes.
15 Fecero pure sul pettorale delle catenelle d’oro puro, intrecciate a mo’ di cordoni.
They made two [chains] from pure gold and braided them like cords, to [attach] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].
16 E fecero due castoni d’oro e due anelli d’oro, e misero i due anelli alle due estremità del pettorale.
They made two gold rings, and they attached them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.
17 E fissarono i due cordoni d’oro ai due anelli alle estremità del pettorale;
They fastened one end of each cord to one of the rings.
18 e attaccarono gli altri due capi dei due cordoni d’oro ai due castoni, e li misero sulle due spallette dell’efod, sul davanti.
They fastened the other end of each cord to the two (settings/tiny frames) [that enclosed the stones]. Then they attached the sacred pouch to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron.
19 Fecero anche due anelli d’oro e li misero alle altre due estremità del pettorale, sull’orlo interiore vòlto verso l’efod.
Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the lower corners of the sacred pouch, on the inside edges, next to the sacred apron.
20 E fecero due altri anelli d’oro, e li misero alle due spallette dell’efod, in basso, sul davanti, vicino al punto dove avveniva la giuntura, al disopra della cintura artistica dell’efod.
They made two more gold rings and attached them to the lower part of the front of the shoulder straps, near to where [the shoulder straps] were joined [to the sacred apron], just above the carefully-woven sash/waistband.
21 E attaccarono il pettorale mediante i suoi anelli agli anelli dell’efod con un cordone violaceo, affinché il pettorale fosse al disopra della banda artisticamente lavorata dell’efod, e non si potesse staccare dall’efod; come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.
They tied the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch was above the sash/waistband and would not come loose from the sacred apron.
22 Si fece pure il manto dell’efod, di lavoro tessuto tutto di color violaceo,
They made the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron, using only blue [cloth].
23 e l’apertura, in mezzo al manto, per passarvi il capo: apertura, come quella d’una corazza, con all’intorno un’orlatura tessuta, perché non si strappasse.
It had an opening through which [the priest] would put his head. They sewed a border around this opening, to prevent the material from tearing.
24 E all’orlo inferiore del manto fecero delle melagrane di color violaceo, porporino e scarlatto, di filo ritorto.
At the lower edge on the robe, they fastened [decorations that resembled] pomegranate fruit. The decorations were [woven from] blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
25 E fecero de’ sonagli d’oro puro; e posero i sonagli in mezzo alle melagrane all’orlo inferiore del manto, tutt’all’intorno, fra le melagrane:
Between each of these decorations, they fastened a tiny bell made from pure gold, so there was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, alternating all around the hem of the robe
26 un sonaglio e una melagrana, un sonaglio e una melagrana, sull’orlatura del manto, tutt’all’intorno, per fare il servizio, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.

They also made the tiny ornament of pure gold and had a skilled workman engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’.
31 E v’attaccarono un nastro violaceo per fermarla sulla mitra, in alto, come l’Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.
They fastened this to the front of the turban by a blue cord, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
