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.
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 Ary manaova fitafiana masìna ho an’ i Arona rahalahinao ho voninahitra sy ho fahatsaran-tarehy.
You must make for Aaron, your brother, garments that are set apart to me. These garments will be for his honor and splendor.
3 Ary mitenena amin’ izay hendry fo, izay nofenoiko fanahim-pahendrena, mba hanao ny fitafian’ i Arona hanamasinana azy ho mpisorona ho Ahy.
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 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.
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 Ary aoka haka ny volamena sy ny manga sy ny volomparasy sy ny mena ary ny rongony fotsy madinika izy.
Craftsmen must use fine linen that is gold, blue, purple, and scarlet.
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 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.
7 Aoka hisy soroka roa avy amin’ ny sisiny roa hampikambana azy.
It must have two shoulder pieces attached to its two upper corners.
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.
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 Ary makà vato beryla roa, ka soraty eo aminy ny anaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely:
You must take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of Israel's twelve sons.
10 ny anarany enina amin’ ny vato iray, ary ny anarany enina kosa amin’ ny vato iray, araka ny fizokiany;
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 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,
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 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.
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 Ary manaova randram-bolamena
You must make settings of gold
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 like cords, and you must attach the 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 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 Ho efa-joro miforitra roa izy, ary ho irain-jehy avy ny lafiny efatra.
It is to be square. You must fold the breastpiece double. It must be one span long and one span wide.
17 Ary asio vato alatsaka an-tranontranony izy, dia vato efatra an-dalana: ny an-dalana voalohany dia karnelia sy topaza ary emeralda;
You must place in it four rows of precious stones. The first row must have a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet.
18 ary ny an-dalana faharoa dia robina sy safira ary onyksa;
The second row must have an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 ary ny an-dalana fahatelo dia opala sy agata ary ametysta;
The third row must have a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 ary ny an-dalana fahefatra dia krysolita sy beryla ary jaspy; ary asio randram-bolamena ny fitoerany avy.
The fourth row must have a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They must be mounted in 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.
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 Ary eo amin’ ny saron-tratra asio olam-bolamena tsara mifanolana toy ny tady.
You must make on the breastpiece chains like cords, braided work of pure gold.
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.
You must make two rings of gold for the breastpiece and must attach them to the two ends 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.
You must attach the two golden chains to the two corners of the breastpiece.
25 Ary ny lanin’ ny tady roa dia ataovy eo amin’ ny soroky ny efoda anoloana.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ary ny akanjo ivelany misy ny efoda dia ataovy manga avokoa.
You will make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue fabric.
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.
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 Ary asio sarin’ ampongabendanitra manga sy volomparasy sy mena manodidina eny amin’ ny moron-tongony, ary famohamandry volamena kosa eo anelanelany manodidina:
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 dia famohamandry sy sarin’ ampongabendanitra mifanelanelana manodidina eny amin’ ny moron-tongotry ny akanjo ivelany.
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 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.
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 Ary manaova takela-bolamena tsara, ka asio soratra eo aminy, araka ny fanoratana fanombohan-kase, hoe: HAMASININA HO AN’ I JEHOVAH.
You must make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.”
37 Ary asio kofehy manga izy, ka ataovy eo amin’ ny hamama: dia eo anoloan’ ny hamama no hasiana azy.
You must attach this plate by a blue cord to the front of the turban.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
For Aaron's sons you must make coats, sashes, and headbands for their honor and splendor.
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.
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 Ary manaova kalisaona fohy rongony fotsy ho azy hanarona ny fitanjahany; hatramin’ ny valahany ka hatramin’ ny feny no hisy azy.
You must make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh, that will cover them from the waist to the thighs.
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 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.
