Eksodosy 28
1 Ary asaovy manatona anao Arona rahalahinao mbamin’ ny zanany, avy amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, mba ho mpisorona ho Ahy izy, dia Arona mbamin’ i Nadaba sy Abiho sy Eleazara ary Itamara, zanak’ i Arona.
Have your brother Aaron come to you, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. They of all the Israelites are to serve me as priests.
2 Ary manaova fitafiana masìna ho an’ i Arona rahalahinao ho voninahitra sy ho fahatsaran-tarehy.
You are to have holy clothing made for your brother Aaron to make him look splendid and dignified.
3 Ary mitenena amin’ izay hendry fo, izay nofenoiko fanahim-pahendrena, mba hanao ny fitafian’ i Arona hanamasinana azy ho mpisorona ho Ahy.
You are to give instructions to all the skilful workers, to those who have received from me their abilities, as to how to make clothing for Aaron's dedication, so that he can serve me as priest.
4 Ary izao no fitafiana izay hataony: saron-tratra sy efoda sy akanjo ivelany sy akanjo lava tenom-boaroy sy hamama ary fehin-kibo; dia hanao fitafiana masìna ho an’ i Arona rahalahinao izy, sy ho an’ ny zanany, mba ho mpisorona ho Ahy izy.
These are the clothes for them to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a pleated tunic, a turban, and a sash. These are the holy clothes they shall make for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they can serve me as priests.
5 Ary aoka haka ny volamena sy ny manga sy ny volomparasy sy ny mena ary ny rongony fotsy madinika izy.
The workers are to use gold thread, together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen.
6 Dia aoka izy hanao ny efoda amin’ ny volamena sy manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina, asan’ ny mpanenona mahay.
They are to make the ephod of finely-woven linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and crimson thread, skillfully worked.
7 Aoka hisy soroka roa avy amin’ ny sisiny roa hampikambana azy.
Two shoulder pieces are to be attached to the front and back pieces.
8 Ary ny fehin-kibo momba ny efoda, izay eo amboniny ka hiray aminy sady hitovy tarehy aminy, dia hatao volamena sy manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina.
The waistband of the ephod is to be one piece made in the same way, using gold thread, with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and with finely-woven linen.
9 Ary makà vato beryla roa, ka soraty eo aminy ny anaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely:
Engrave on two onyx stones the names of the Israelite tribes,
10 ny anarany enina amin’ ny vato iray, ary ny anarany enina kosa amin’ ny vato iray, araka ny fizokiany;
six names on one stone and six on the other, in birth order.
11 amin’ ny asan’ ny mpanora-bato, tahaka ny fanoratana fanombohan-kase, no hanoratanao ny vato roa, araka ny anaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary asio randram-bolamena manodidina izy,
Engrave the names on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a personal seal. Then place the stones in ornamental gold settings.
12 Ary ataovy eo amin’ ny soroky ny efoda ny vato roa, ho vato fahatsiarovana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary Arona hitondra ireo anarany ireo eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny sorony roa ho fahatsiarovana.
Attach both stones to the shoulder pieces of the ephod as reminders for the Israelite tribes. Aaron is to wear their names on his two shoulders to remind the Israelites that he represents them when he goes into the Lord's presence.
13 Ary manaova randram-bolamena
Make ornamental gold settings
14 sy olam-bolamena tsara roa; mifanolana toy ny tady no hanaovanao ireo, ary hataonao eo amin’ ny randram-bolamena ireo alom-bolamena toy ny tady ireo.
and two braided chains of pure gold, and fasten these chains to the settings.
15 Ary manaova saron-tratra fitsarana, ka asan’ ny mpanenona mahay, toy ny nanaovana ny efoda, no hanaovanao azy; volamena sy manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina no hanaovanao azy.
You are also to make a breastpiece for decisions in the same skilful way as the ephod, to be used in determining the Lord's will. Make it using gold thread, with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and with finely-woven linen.
16 Ho efa-joro miforitra roa izy, ary ho irain-jehy avy ny lafiny efatra.
It has to be square when folded, measuring around nine inches in length and width.
17 Ary asio vato alatsaka an-tranontranony izy, dia vato efatra an-dalana: ny an-dalana voalohany dia karnelia sy topaza ary emeralda;
Attach an arrangement of precious stones in four rows as follows. In the first row carnelian, peridot, and emerald.
18 ary ny an-dalana faharoa dia robina sy safira ary onyksa;
In the second row turquoise, lapis lazuli, and sardonyx.
19 ary ny an-dalana fahatelo dia opala sy agata ary ametysta;
In the third row jacinth, agate, and amethyst.
20 ary ny an-dalana fahefatra dia krysolita sy beryla ary jaspy; ary asio randram-bolamena ny fitoerany avy.
In the fourth row topaz, beryl, and jasper. Place these stones in ornamental gold settings.
21 Ary ny vato dia alaharo araka ny anaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia roa ambin’ ny folo araka ny anarany; ary hisy soratra toy ny amin’ ny fanombohan-kase, ho amin’ ny firenena roa ambin’ ny folo araka ny anarany avy.
Each of the twelve stones will be engraved like a personal seal with the name of one of the twelve Israelites tribes and will represent them.
22 Ary eo amin’ ny saron-tratra asio olam-bolamena tsara mifanolana toy ny tady.
Make cords of braided chains from pure gold to attach the breastpiece.
23 Ary manaova vava volamena roa ho eo amin’ ny saron-tratra; ary ny vava vola roa dia ataovy eo amin’ ny zorony roa ambony amin’ ny saron-tratra.
Make two gold rings and fasten them to the two top corners of the breastpiece.
24 Ary ny tady volamena roa dia ataovy eo amin’ ny vava vola roa, izay amin’ ny zorony roa ambony amin’ ny saron-tratra.
Attach the two gold chains to the two gold rings on the corners of the breastpiece,
25 Ary ny lanin’ ny tady roa dia ataovy eo amin’ ny soroky ny efoda anoloana.
and then fasten the opposite ends of the two chains to the ornamental gold settings on the shoulder pieces of the front side of the ephod.
26 Ary manaova vava volamena roa, ka ataovy amin’ ny zorony roa ambany amin’ ny saron-tratra, dia amin’ ny sisiny anatiny, izay manolotra ny efoda.
Make two more gold rings and attach them to the two lower corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
27 Ary manaova vava volamena roa koa, ka ataovy eo amin’ ny soroko roa amin’ ny efoda, dia ao ambaniny, eo anoloany, akaikin’ ny fikambanany, eo ambonin’ ny fehin-kibo momba ny efoda.
Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the front side of the ephod, near where it joins its woven waistband.
28 Ary kofehy manga no hamehezana ny vava volan’ ny saron-tratra amin’ ny vava volan’ ny efoda, mba ho eo ambonin’ ny fehin-kibo momba ny efoda ny saron-tratra, ka tsy ho afaka eo.
Tie the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue thread, so that the breastpiece won't come loose from the ephod.
29 Ary Arona hitondra ny anaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely eo amin’ ny saron-tratra fitsarana manolotra ny fony, raha miditra amin’ ny fitoerana masìna izy, mba ho fahatsiarovana mandrakariva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
Like this, whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will wear the names of the Israelite tribes over his heart on the breastpiece, as a constant reminder before the Lord.
30 Ary ataovy eo amin’ ny saron-tratra fitsarana ny Orima sy Tomima; ary hanolotra ny fon’ i Arona izany, raha miditra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy; ka dia ho entin’ i Arona manolotra ny fony mandrakariva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny fitsarana ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of decision, so that they too will be over Aaron's heart whenever he comes into the Lord's presence. Aaron will continually carry the means of gaining decisions over his heart before the Lord.
31 Ary ny akanjo ivelany misy ny efoda dia ataovy manga avokoa.
Make the robe that goes with the ephod exclusively from blue cloth,
32 Ary asio vozony eo afovoany, ary aoka hisy sisiny voatenona manodidina ny vozony, tahaka ny vozon’ ny akanjo fiarovan-tratra, mba tsy hahatriatra azy.
with an opening in the middle at the top. Stitch a woven collar around the opening to strengthen it so it won't tear.
33 Ary asio sarin’ ampongabendanitra manga sy volomparasy sy mena manodidina eny amin’ ny moron-tongony, ary famohamandry volamena kosa eo anelanelany manodidina:
Make pomegranates using blue, purple, and crimson thread and attach them all the way around its hem, with gold bells between them,
34 dia famohamandry sy sarin’ ampongabendanitra mifanelanelana manodidina eny amin’ ny moron-tongotry ny akanjo ivelany.
having the gold bells and the pomegranates alternate.
35 Ary hiakanjoan’ i Arona izany, raha manao ny fanompoam-pivavahany izy, mba ho re ny fanenony, raha miditra amin’ ny fitoerana masìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah sy raha mivoaka izy, mba tsy hahafaty azy.
Aaron is to wear the robe whenever he serves, and the sound it makes will be heard when he enters or leaves the sanctuary as he goes into the Lord's presence, so that he won't die.
36 Ary manaova takela-bolamena tsara, ka asio soratra eo aminy, araka ny fanoratana fanombohan-kase, hoe: HAMASININA HO AN’ I JEHOVAH.
Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it like a seal, “Holy to the Lord.”
37 Ary asio kofehy manga izy, ka ataovy eo amin’ ny hamama: dia eo anoloan’ ny hamama no hasiana azy.
Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord.
38 Ary ho eo ambonin’ ny handrin’ i Arona izy, mba ho entin’ i Arona ny heloky ny zava-masìna, izay hohamasinin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely amin’ ny fanomezany masìna rehetra; ary ho eo amin’ ny handriny mandrakariva izany, mba hankasitrahana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny olona.
Aaron will wear it on his forehead, so that he may take responsibility for the guilt of the offerings the Israelites make, and this applies to all their holy gifts. It must always remain on his forehead in order that the people are accepted in the Lord's presence.
39 Ary ny akanjo lava dia ataovy hariry madinika tenom-boaroy; ary manaova hamama rongony fotsy madinika sy fehin-kibo, asan’ ny mahay tenona samy hafa soratra.
Weave the tunic with finely-spun linen and make the turban of the same material, and also make sash and have it embroidered.
40 Ary manaova akanjo lava ho an’ ny zanak’ i Arona, ary manaova fehin-kibo ho azy; ary manaova satroka boribory ho azy ho voninahitra sy ho fahatsaran-tarehy.
Make tunics, sashes, and headdresses for Aaron's sons, so that they will look splendid and dignified.
41 Ary ataovy amin’ i Arona rahalahinao sy ny zanany koa ireo; dia manosora azy sy manokana azy ary manamasìna azy, mba ho mpisorona ho Ahy izy.
Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons and then anoint them and ordain them. Dedicate them so that they can serve me as priests.
42 Ary manaova kalisaona fohy rongony fotsy ho azy hanarona ny fitanjahany; hatramin’ ny valahany ka hatramin’ ny feny no hisy azy.
Make linen undershorts to cover their bare bodies, reaching from waist to thigh.
43 Ary hiakanjoan’ i Arona sy ny zanany ireo, raha miditra amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, na manakaiky ny alitara hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, mba tsy hahazoany heloka hahafaty azy; ho lalàna mandrakizay aminy sy amin’ ny taranany mandimby azy izany.
Aaron and his sons are to wear them when they enter the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to serve in the Holy Place, so that they will not bring guilt on themselves and die. This is a law for Aaron and his descendants forever.
