“Also, join to yourself your brother Aaron, with his sons from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me: Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 Okotonga mpo na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, bilamba ya bule lokola elembo ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu.
And you shall make a holy vestment for Aaron, your brother, with glory and elegance.
3 Bongo yo, okoloba na bato nyonso ya mayele oyo, kati na bango, natondisi molimo ya bwanya mpo ete batonga bilamba ya Aron mpo na kobulisa ye na mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso na Ngai.
And you shall speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of prudence, so that they may make the vestments of Aaron, in which, having been sanctified, he may minister to me.
4 Tala bilamba oyo bakotonga: elamba ya tolo, efode, kazaka mpe nzambala oyo batia bililingi likolo na yango, kitendi ya kokanga na moto mpe mokaba. Bakotonga bilamba ya bule mpo na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, mpe mpo na bana na ye ya mibali oyo bakosala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso na Ngai.
Now these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A breastplate and an ephod, a tunic and a close-fit linen garment, a headdress and a wide belt. They shall make the holy vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.

Likewise, the weaving and all the detail work shall be of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
9 Okozwa mabanga mibale ya onikisi mpe okokoma na likolo na yango bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isalaele
And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
10 kolanda ndenge babotama: bakombo motoba na libanga ya liboso mpe bakombo motoba oyo etikali, na libanga ya mibale.
six names on one stone, and the remaining six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
11 Okokoma bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isalaele na mabanga nyonso mibale ndenge bato basalaka bililingi na kashe na libanga; mpe okozingela yango na wolo.
By the work of a sculptor and the skill of a jeweler, you shall engrave them with the names of the sons of Israel, enclosed and encompassed with gold.
12 Okotia mabanga yango na bankamba ya efode lokola mabanga ya ekaniseli mpo na bana mibali ya Isalaele. Aron akomema likolo ya mapeka na ye lokola ekaniseli liboso ya Yawe bakombo na bango.
And you shall place them on both sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord, upon both shoulders, as a remembrance.
13 Okotia bikangelo ya wolo
You shall also make hooks of gold,
14 mpe okosala basheneti mibale ya wolo basangisa na eloko mosusu te; okosala yango lokola suki ya maboko mpe okokangisa basheneti yango pembeni-pembeni ya mabanga.
and two little chains of the purest gold, linked to one another, which you shall insert into the hooks.
15 Okosala elamba ya tolo mpo na koyeba mokano ya Nzambe; ekozala mosala ya bato oyo basalaka bililingi na maboko. Okotonga yango lokola efode: ekozala ya wolo, ya langi ya ble, ya motane ya pete, ya motane makasi mpe na lino ya kitoko oyo bakotonga bililingi na likolo na yango.
Likewise, you shall make the breastplate of judgment, wrought with diverse colors according to the weaving of the ephod: of gold, hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

It shall have four corners and be doubled. It shall have the measure of the palm of a hand, both in length and in width.

21 Mabanga yango ekozala zomi na mibale kolanda bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isalaele. Na likolo ya libanga moko na moko, bakokoma kombo ya moko kati na mabota zomi na mibale; bakokoma yango ndenge basalaka bililingi na kashe.
And these shall have the names of the sons of Israel. With twelve names shall they be engraved: each stone with one name from the twelve tribes.
22 Okosala basheneti ya wolo ya peto mpo na elamba ya tolo; okosala yango ndenge bakangaka suki ya maboko.
You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,
23 Okosala bapete mibale ya wolo mpo na elamba ya tolo mpe okokangisa yango na basonge mibale ya elamba yango.
and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.
24 Okolekisa basheneti mibale ya wolo kati na bapete mibale oyo ezali na basonge ya elamba ya tolo,
And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.
25 mpe okokangisa basonge mibale mosusu ya basheneti yango, na bikangelo nyonso mibale; mpe okokangisa yango na bankamba ya efode; bankamba yango ekoleka na liboso.
And the ends of the chains themselves, you shall couple with two hooks, on both sides of the ephod, which looks toward the breastplate.
26 Okosala bapete mibale ya wolo oyo okotia na basonge mibale ya se ya elamba ya tolo, na ngambo ya kati oyo etala efode.
You shall also make two rings of gold, which you shall place at the ends of the breastplate, at the borders which are away from the region of the ephod and which look toward its back.
27 Okosala bapete mosusu mibale ya wolo oyo okotia na bankamba mibale ya efode, na se, na liboso mpe na pembeni ya mokaba ya efode.
And then you shall also make two other rings of gold, which are to be suspended on both sides at the bottom of the ephod, which looks out opposite the face of the lower juncture, so that the breastplate can be fitted to the ephod.
28 Okokangisa na singa ya langi ya ble bapete ya wolo ya elamba ya tolo mpe bapete ya wolo ya efode, mpo ete elamba ya tolo ezala likolo ya efode mpe elongwa te na likolo na yango.
And it shall be drawn tight to the rings of the breastplate, by the rings of the ephod, with a hyacinth band, so that the well-constructed juncture will remain in place, and the breastplate and the ephod will not be able to be separated from one another.
29 Boye tango Aron akokota na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, akomema na motema na ye, na elamba ya tolo ya kokata makambo, bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isalaele lokola ekaniseli liboso ya Yawe mpo na libela.
And Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment upon his chest, when he enters into the Sanctuary, as a memorial in the presence of the Lord in eternity.
30 Okotia lisusu Urimi mpe Tumimi kati na elamba ya tolo ya kokata makambo mpe yango ekozala likolo ya motema ya Aron tango akotelema liboso ya Yawe. Boye Aron akomema makambo ya bana ya Isalaele liboso ya Yawe mpo na libela.
Then you shall place in the breastplate of judgment, Doctrine and Truth, which shall then be upon Aaron’s chest, when he enters before the Lord. And he shall wear the judgment of the sons of Israel on his chest, in the sight of the Lord always.
31 Okosala mobimba ya nzambala oyo ekozala na se ya efode na langi ya ble.
And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,
32 Nzambala esengeli kozala na lidusu na kati-kati mpo na kokotisa moto; bakotonga pembeni-pembeni ya lidusu yango poso ya makasi mpo ete epasuka te.
and the head will be above its middle, with a hem woven around it, just as is usually made at the end parts of a garment, so that it may not be easily broken.
33 Na se mpe zingazinga ya nzambala, okotia bambuma ya grenade bakangisa na singa ya langi ya ble, ya motane ya pete mpe ya motane makasi; mpe okotia bangonga ya mike-mike kati na bambuma ya grenade.
Yet truly, beneath it, at the base of the same tunic, all around, you shall make something like pomegranates, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with little bells set in their midst.
34 Ekolandana boye: ngonga moko ya moke ya wolo, mbuma moko ya grenade, mpe bongo na bongo, zingazinga ya basonge nyonso ya nzambala.
So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
35 Aron asengeli kolata yango tango azali kosala mosala. Makelele ya bangonga ya mike-mike ekoyokana tango akotelema liboso ya Yawe na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpe tango akobima; wana ekolakisa ete akufi te.
And Aaron will be vested with it during the office of his ministry, so that the sound may be heard when he enters and exits the Sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and so that he may not die.
36 Okosala na wolo ya peto medaye mpe okokoma na likolo na yango ndenge basalaka bililingi na kashe: abulisama mpo na Yawe.
And you shall make a plate of the purest gold, in which you shall engrave, with the skill of a sculptor, ‘Holy to the Lord.’
37 Okokangisa yango na singa ya ble, mpe ekozala na likolo ya kitendi ya kokanga na moto, na mbunzu.
And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,
38 Linzanza yango ekozala na mbunzu ya Aron mpo ete akoka komema bambeba oyo bana ya Isalaele bakosala na tina na biloko ya bule oyo bakobonza mpe bakobulisa. Linzanza yango ekozala tango nyonso na mbunzu ya Aron mpo ete Ngai Yawe, nandima makabo yango.
hanging in front of the high priest. And Aaron shall carry the iniquities of that which the sons of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and donations. But the plate will always be at his forehead, so that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
39 Okotongela Aron nzambala ya lino mpe kitendi ya lino mpo na moto; okosalela ye mpe mokaba oyo bato oyo batongaka bililingi na bilamba bakoyeba kotia bililingi.
And you shall draw the tunic tight with fine linen, and you shall make a headdress of fine linen, and a wide belt, wrought with embroidery.
40 Okosala lisusu mpo na bana ya Aron banzambala, mikaba mpe bikoti, lokola elembo ya lokumu mpe ya nkembo.
Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.
41 Sima na kolatisa Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, okopakola bango mafuta mpe okobulisa bango. Okokomisa bango Banganga-Nzambe mpo ete basalela Ngai.
And with all these you shall vest your brother Aaron, and his sons with him. And you shall consecrate all their hands, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
42 Okosalela bango bakaputula ya lino mpo na kozipa bolumbu na bango: bakaputula yango ekobanda na loketo kino na mipende.
You shall also make linen undergarments, in order to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the kidneys all the way to the thighs.
43 Aron mpe bana na ye ya mibali bakolata yango tango nyonso bakobanda kokota na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani to kopusana pembeni ya etumbelo mpo na kosala mosala kati na Esika ya bule, mpo ete bazala na ngambo te mpe bakufa te. Ezali mobeko ya libela mpo na Aron mpe bakitani na ye.
And Aaron and his sons will use them when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach toward the altar, in order to minister in the sanctuary, lest, being guilty of iniquity, they may die. It shall be a law forever for Aaron, and for his offspring after him.”
