1 Kamata kati na bana ya Isalaele Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali: Nadabi mpe Abiyu, Eleazari mpe Itamari; mpo ete basala mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe liboso na Ngai.
Call to yourself Aaron your brother and his sons—Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar—from among the Israelites so that they may serve me as priests.
2 Okotonga mpo na Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, bilamba ya bule lokola elembo ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu.
You must make for Aaron, your brother, garments that are set apart to me. These garments will be for his honor and splendor.
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.
You must speak to all people who are wise in heart, those whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, so that they may make Aaron's garments to set him apart to serve me as my priest.
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.
The garments that they must make are a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a coat of woven work, a turban, and a sash. They must make these garments that are set them apart to me. They will be for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they may serve me as priests.
5 Bakosalela wolo, langi ya ble, ya motane ya pete, ya motane makasi mpe lino ya kitoko.
Craftsmen must use fine linen that is gold, blue, purple, and scarlet.
6 Bakotonga na wolo efode ya langi ya ble, ya motane ya pete, ya motane makasi mpe na lino ya kitoko oyo bakotonga bililingi na likolo na yango; ekozala mosala ya bato oyo basalaka bililingi na maboko.
They must make the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine-twined linen. It must be the work of a skillful craftsman.

It must have two shoulder pieces attached to its two upper corners.
8 Mokaba ya efode ekosalema ndenge moko na 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.
Its finely-woven waistband must be like the ephod; it must be made of one piece with the ephod, made of fine twined linen that is gold, blue, purple, and scarlet.
9 Okozwa mabanga mibale ya onikisi mpe okokoma na likolo na yango bakombo ya bana mibali ya Isalaele
You must take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of Israel's twelve sons.
10 kolanda ndenge babotama: bakombo motoba na libanga ya liboso mpe bakombo motoba oyo etikali, na libanga ya mibale.
Six of their names must be on one stone, and six names must be on the other stone, in order of the sons' 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.
With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engraving on a signet, you must engrave the two stones with the names of Israel's twelve sons. You must mount the stones in settings of 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.
You must put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, to be stones to remind Yahweh of Israel's sons. Aaron will carry their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders as a reminder to him.
13 Okotia bikangelo ya wolo
You must make settings 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 braided chains of pure gold like cords, and you must attach the chains to the settings.
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.
You must make a breastpiece for decision making, the work of a skillful workman, fashioned like the ephod. Make it of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen.
16 Soki bagumbi yango na biteni mibale, molayi mpe mokuse esengeli kozala ndenge moko: basantimetele pene tuku mibale na mitano.
It is to be square. You must fold the breastpiece double. It must be one span long and one span wide.
17 Okotia na likolo na yango milongo minei ya mabanga ya talo. Na molongo ya liboso, okotia libanga ya saridwane, ya topaze mpe ya emerode;
You must place in it four rows of precious stones. The first row must have a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet.
18 na molongo ya mibale, okotia libanga ya ribisi, ya safiri mpe ya diama;
The second row must have an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

The third row must have a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

The fourth row must have a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They must be mounted in gold settings.
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.
The stones must be arranged by the names of Israel's twelve sons, each in order by name. They must be like the engraving on a signet ring, each name standing for one of the twelve tribes.
22 Okosala basheneti ya wolo ya peto mpo na elamba ya tolo; okosala yango ndenge bakangaka suki ya maboko.
You must make on the breastpiece chains like cords, braided work of pure gold.
23 Okosala bapete mibale ya wolo mpo na elamba ya tolo mpe okokangisa yango na basonge mibale ya elamba yango.
You must make two rings of gold for the breastpiece and must attach them to the two ends of the breastpiece.
24 Okolekisa basheneti mibale ya wolo kati na bapete mibale oyo ezali na basonge ya elamba ya tolo,
You must attach the two golden chains to the two corners of the breastpiece.
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.
You must attach the other ends of the two braided chains to the two settings. Then you must attach those to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at its front.
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 must make two rings of gold, and you must put them on the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the edge next to the inner border.
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.
You must make two more gold rings, and you must attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the front of the ephod, close to its seam above the finely-woven waistband of 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.
They must tie the breastpiece by its rings to the ephod's rings with a blue cord, so that it might be attached just above the ephod's woven waistband. This is so that the breastpiece might not become unattached from the ephod.
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.
When Aaron goes into the holy place, he must carry the names of the people of Israel over his heart in the breastpiece for decision making, as a continuing memorial before Yahweh.
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.
You are to put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece for decision making, so they may be over Aaron's heart when he goes in before Yahweh. Thus Aaron will always carry the means for making decisions for the people of Israel over his heart before Yahweh.
31 Okosala mobimba ya nzambala oyo ekozala na se ya efode na langi ya ble.
You will make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue fabric.
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.
It must have an opening for the head in the middle. The opening must have a woven edge round about so that it does not tear. This must be the work of a weaver.
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.
On the bottom hem, you must make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all around. Gold bells must be between them all around.
34 Ekolandana boye: ngonga moko ya moke ya wolo, mbuma moko ya grenade, mpe bongo na bongo, zingazinga ya basonge nyonso ya nzambala.
There must be a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate—and so on—all around the hem of the robe.
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.
The robe is to be on Aaron when he serves, so that its sound can be heard when he goes into the holy place before Yahweh and when he leaves. This is so that he does not die.
36 Okosala na wolo ya peto medaye mpe okokoma na likolo na yango ndenge basalaka bililingi na kashe: abulisama mpo na Yawe.
You must make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.”
37 Okokangisa yango na singa ya ble, mpe ekozala na likolo ya kitendi ya kokanga na moto, na mbunzu.
You must attach this plate by a blue cord to the front of the turban.
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.
It must be on Aaron's forehead; he must always bear any guilt that might attach to the offering of the holy gifts that the Israelites set apart to Yahweh. The turban must be always on his forehead so that Yahweh may accept their gifts.
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.
You must make the coat with fine linen, and you must make a turban of fine linen. You must also make a sash, the work of an embroiderer.
40 Okosala lisusu mpo na bana ya Aron banzambala, mikaba mpe bikoti, lokola elembo ya lokumu mpe ya nkembo.
For Aaron's sons you must make coats, sashes, and headbands for their honor and splendor.
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.
You must clothe Aaron your brother, and his sons with him. You must anoint them, ordain them, and set them apart to me, so that they may serve me as priests.
42 Okosalela bango bakaputula ya lino mpo na kozipa bolumbu na bango: bakaputula yango ekobanda na loketo kino na mipende.
You must make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh, that will cover them from the waist 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.
Aaron and his sons must wear these garments when they enter the tent of meeting or when they approach the altar to serve in the holy place. They must do this so they would not be guilty or else they would die. This is a permanent law for Aaron and his descendants after him.
