Ekoruhe 28

1 Tangohia mai ano ki a koe a Arona, tou tuakana, ratou ko ana tama i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, hei tohunga maku, a Arona ratou ko Natapa, ko Apihu, ko Ereatara, ko Itamara, nga tama a Arona.

And do thou take to thyself both Aaron thy brother, and his sons, even [them] of the children of Israel; so that Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron, may minister to me.

2 Me hanga ano e koe etahi kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo tou tuakana, hei kororia, hei ataahua.

And thou shalt make holy apparel for Aaron thy brother, for honour and glory.

3 Me korero ano e koe ki nga ngakau mohio katoa, ki aku i whakaki ai ki te wairua mohio, kia hanga e ratou nga kakahu mo Arona, mo tona whakatapunga, mo tana mahi tohunga ki ahau.

And speak thou to all those who are wise in understanding, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom and perception; and they shall make the holy apparel of Aaron for the sanctuary, in which [apparel] he shall minister to me as priest.

4 A ko nga kakahu enei e hanga e ratou; he kouma, he epora, he koroka, he koti whakairo, he potae tohunga, he whitiki: na me hanga etahi kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo tou tuakana, ratou ko ana tama, mo tana mahi tohunga ki ahau.

And these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-plate, and the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the tunic with a fringe, and the tire, and the girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests.

5 Me tango hoki he koura, he puru, he papura, he ngangana, he rinea pai.

And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 A ka hanga te epora ki te koura, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai; kia tohunga rawa te mahi.

And they shall make the shoulder-piece of fine linen spun, the woven work of the embroiderer.

7 Kia rua nga wahi i nga pokohiwi, he mea hono ki a raua i nga pito e rua; kia kotahi ai.

It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined together, fastened on the two sides.

8 A, ko te whitiki whakairo o te epora, kia kotahi ano te mea e hanga ai raua, kia rite hoki to raua hanganga; he mea koura, puru, papura, ngangana, rinena miro pai.

And the woven work of the shoulder-pieces which is upon it, shall be of one piece according to the work, of pure gold and blue and purple, and spun scarlet and fine twined linen.

9 Me tango ano e koe nga kohatu onika e rua, ka tuhi ai i nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki aua mea:

And thou shalt take the two stones, the stones of emerald, and thou shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel.

10 Kia ono nga ingoa o ratou ki tetahi kohatu, me era ingoa atu hoki e ono ki tetahi atu kohatu; kia rite ki o ratou whanautanga.

Six names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second stone, according to their births.

11 Hei te mahi a te kaituhi kohatu tau tuhi i nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki nga kohatu e rua, kia rite ki te tuhinga o te hiri: me mea e koe kia whakanohoia aua mea ki nga nohoanga koura.

[It shall be] the work of the stone-engraver's art; as the graving of a seal thou shalt engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel.

12 A me whakanoho e koe nga kohatu e rua ki nga pokohiwi o te epora, hei kohatu whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira: a ka mau o ratou ingoa ki runga ki nga pokohiwi e rua o Arona i te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakamahara.

And thou shalt put the two stones on the shoulders of the shoulder-piece: they are memorial-stones for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel before the Lord on his two shoulders, a memorial for them.

13 Me hanga ano e koe nga nohoanga kohatu ki te koura;

And thou shalt make circlets of pure gold;

14 Me nga mekameka koura parakore e rua; me whiri tau mahinga i aua mea, ka whakau ai i nga mekameka whiri ki nga nohoanga.

and thou shalt make two fringes of pure gold, variegated with flowers wreathen work; and thou shalt put the wreathen fringes on the circlets, fastening them on their shoulder-pieces in front.

15 Kia tohunga rawa te hanga o te kouma whakawa, kia rite tau mahinga ki te mahinga o te epora; me hanga e koe taua mea ki te koura, ki te puru, ki te papura, ki te ngangana, ki te rinena miro pai.

And thou shalt make the oracle of judgment, the work of the embroiderer: in keeping with the ephod, thou shalt make it of gold, and blue and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun.

16 Kia wha ona taha, me rererua; kia kotahi whanganga a te ringa tona roa, kia kotahi whanganga hoki a te ringa tona whanui.

Thou shalt make it square: it shall be double; of a span the length of it, and of a span the breadth.

17 Me whakanoho ano ki taua mea etahi nohoanga kohatu; kia wha nga rarangi kohatu: mo te rarangi tuatahi he harariu, he topaha, he kapakara: ko te rarangi tuatahi tenei.

And thou shalt interweave with it a texture of four rows of stone; there shall be a row of stones, a sardius, a topaz, and emerald, the first row.

18 Mo te rarangi tuarua he emerara, he hapaira, he taimana.

And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.

19 Mo te rarangi tuatoru he rikuri, he akete, he ametihita.

And the third row, a ligure, an agate, an amethyst:

20 Mo te rarangi tuawha he perira, he onika, he hahapa: me whakanoho ki te koura ki te wahi e mau ai.

and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and a beryl, and an onyx stone, set round with gold, bound together with gold: let them be according to their row.

21 Na ka tekau ma rua nga kohatu me nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira; ko te maha kei o ratou ingoa; ko te tuhi hei o te hiri, tenei tangata me tona ingoa, tenei tangata me tona ingoa, rite tonu ki nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua.

And let the stones of the names of the children of Israel be twelve according to their names, engravings as of seals: let them be for the twelve tribes each according to the name.

22 Me hanga ano e koe ki te koura parakore etahi mekameka, he mahi whiri, mo te kouma, mo nga pito.

And thou shalt make on the oracle woven fringes, a chain-work of pure gold.

23 Me hanga ano e koe etahi mowhiti koura kia rua mo te kouma, ka whakanoho ai i nga mowhiti e rua ki nga pito e rua o te kouma.

And Aaron shall take the names of the children of Israel, on the oracle of judgment on his breast; a memorial before God for him as he goes into the sanctuary.

24 Me whakau ano nga mekameka koura, nga mea whiri, ki nga mowhiti e rua i nga pito o te kouma.

And thou shalt put the fringes on the oracle of judgment; thou shalt put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle,

25 Ko era pito e rua hoki o nga mekameka whiri e rua, me whakau e koe ki nga nohoanga kohatu e rua, ka whakanoho ai ki nga pokohiwi o te epora, ki te taha ki mua.

and thou shalt put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front.

26 Me hanga ano etahi mowhiti koura kia rua, ka whakanoho ai ki nga pito e rua o te kouma ki tona remu, ki te taha ki roto whaka te epora.

And thou shalt put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of judgment; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgments of the children of Israel on his breast before the Lord continually.

27 Me hanga ano hoki e koe etahi atu mowhiti koura kia rua, ka whakanoho ai ki nga pokohiwi e rua o te epora ki te taha ki raro, ki te taha ki mua, ki te ritenga mai ano o tona hononga, ki runga ake o te whitiki whakairo o te epora.

And thou shalt make the full-length tunic all of blue.

28 Me here ano e ratou te kouma, ko ona mowhiti ki nga mowhiti o te epora, ki etahi miro puru, kia mau ai ki runga ake o te whitiki whakairo o te epora, kei takoto ke hoki te kouma i te epora.

And the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of the same piece that it might not be rent.

29 A ka mau nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki te ngakau o Arona, ara ki te kouma o te whakawa, ina haere ia ki te wahi tapu, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o Ihowa i nga ra katoa.

And under the fringe of the robe below thou shalt make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these.

30 Me whakanoho ano hoki e koe nga Urimi me nga Tumime ki te kouma whakawa; a hei te ngakau o Arona aua mea, ina haere ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ka mau tonu ki te ngakau o Arona te whakawa o nga tama a Iharaira i te aroaro o Ihowa.

A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.

31 Me hanga ano e koe te koroka o te epora, hei te puru anake.

And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and has he goes out, that he die not.

32 Me whakakohao a runga, i waenganui: me whakawhaiwhiri ano ki te mea whatu tona kohao a huri noa, kia rite ki te kohao o te pukupuku, kei pakaru.

And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and thou shalt grave on it [as] the graving of a signet, Holiness of the Lord.

33 A i te remu i raro me hanga e koe etahi pamekaranete ki te mea puru, papura, ngangana, hei te remu a huri noa; me etahi pere koura ki nga takiwa o aua mea a huri noa:

And thou shalt put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the mitre: it shall be in the front of the mitre.

34 He pere koura he pamekaranete, he pere koura he pamekaranete, ki te remu o te koroka a huri noa.

And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the sins of their holy things, all that the children of Israel shall sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord.

35 A me kakahu taua mea e Arona ina minita: a ka rangona tona tangi ina haere ki roto, ki te wahi tapu, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ina puta mai hoki ki waho kei mate ia.

And the fringes of the garments [shall be] of fine linen; and thou shalt make a tire of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.

36 Me hanga ano e koe tetahi paraharaha ki te koura parakore, tuhia iho, he tuhi hiri ano, HE TAPU KI A IHOWA.

And for the sons of Aaron thou shalt make tunics and girdles, and thou shalt make for them tires for honour and glory.

37 A me whakanoho e koe ki te tau puru, kia mau ai ki te potae tohunga; hei te taha ki mua o te potae.

And thou shalt put them on Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, and thou shalt anoint them and fill their hands: and thou shalt sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

38 A ka mau tena ki te rae o Arona, kia mauria ai e Arona te kino o nga mea tapu e whakatapua e nga tama a Iharaira i a ratou hoatutanga tapu katoa; a ka mau tonu tena ki tona rae, kia manakohia ai ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa.

And thou shalt make for them linen drawers to cover the nakedness of their flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs.

39 A me whakairo e koe ki te mumu te koti rinena pai, me hanga ano te potae tohunga ki te rinena pai: hei te mea i hanga ki te ngira te mea e hanga ai e koe te whitiki.

And Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest they die: [it is] a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him.

40 Me hanga ano etahi koti mo nga tama a Arona, me hanga ano etahi whitiki mo ratou, me hanga hoki etahi potae mo ratou, hei kororia, hei ataahua.

41 Ka whakakakahu atu ai ki a Arona, ki tou tuakana, ratou ko ana tama; na ka whakawahi koe i a ratou, ka whakatohunga hoki i a ratou, ka whakatapu hoki i a ratou, kia mahi, tohunga ai ki ahau.

42 Me hanga ano etahi tarau rinena mo ratou, hei kakahu mo nga wahi takoto tahanga o ratou; mo te hope a tae noa ki nga huha:

43 A hei kakahu ena mo Arona, mo ana tama, ina haere ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ina whakatata ranei ki te aata, ki te minita i roto i te wahi tapu; kei whai hara, a ka mate: hei tikanga pumau tenei mona, mo ona uri hoki i muri i a ia.
