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.
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 Me hanga ano e koe etahi kakahu tapu mo Arona, mo tou tuakana, hei kororia, hei ataahua.
You must make for Aaron, your brother, garments that are set apart to me. These garments will be for his honor and splendor.
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.
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 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.
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 Me tango hoki he koura, he puru, he papura, he ngangana, he rinea pai.
Craftsmen must use fine linen that is gold, blue, purple, and scarlet.
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.
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 Kia rua nga wahi i nga pokohiwi, he mea hono ki a raua i nga pito e rua; kia kotahi ai.
It must have two shoulder pieces attached to its two upper corners.
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.
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 Me tango ano e koe nga kohatu onika e rua, ka tuhi ai i nga ingoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki aua mea:
You must take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of Israel's twelve sons.
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 of their names must be on one stone, and six names must be on the other stone, in order of the sons' birth.
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.
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 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.
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 Me hanga ano e koe nga nohoanga kohatu ki te koura;
You must make settings of 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 two braided chains of pure gold like cords, and you must attach the chains to the settings.
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.
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 Kia wha ona taha, me rererua; kia kotahi whanganga a te ringa tona roa, kia kotahi whanganga hoki a te ringa tona whanui.
It is to be square. You must fold the breastpiece double. It must be one span long and one span wide.
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.
You must place in it four rows of precious stones. The first row must have a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet.
18 Mo te rarangi tuarua he emerara, he hapaira, he taimana.
The second row must have an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 Mo te rarangi tuatoru he rikuri, he akete, he ametihita.
The third row must have a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 Mo te rarangi tuawha he perira, he onika, he hahapa: me whakanoho ki te koura ki te wahi e mau ai.
The fourth row must have a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They must be mounted in gold settings.
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.
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 Me hanga ano e koe ki te koura parakore etahi mekameka, he mahi whiri, mo te kouma, mo nga pito.
You must make on the breastpiece chains like cords, braided 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.
You must make two rings of gold for the breastpiece and must attach them to the two ends of the breastpiece.
24 Me whakau ano nga mekameka koura, nga mea whiri, ki nga mowhiti e rua i nga pito o te kouma.
You must attach the two golden chains to the two corners of the breastpiece.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Me hanga ano e koe te koroka o te epora, hei te puru anake.
You will make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue fabric.
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.
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 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:
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 He pere koura he pamekaranete, he pere koura he pamekaranete, ki te remu o te koroka a huri noa.
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 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.
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 Me hanga ano e koe tetahi paraharaha ki te koura parakore, tuhia iho, he tuhi hiri ano, HE TAPU KI A IHOWA.
You must make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.”
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.
You must attach this plate by a blue cord to the front of the turban.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
For Aaron's sons you must make coats, sashes, and headbands for their honor and splendor.
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.
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 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:
You must make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh, that will cover them from the waist to the thighs.
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.
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.
