Kutoka 28
1 “Mtwae Aroni ndugu yako aliyeletwa kwako kutoka miongoni mwa Waisraeli, pamoja na wanawe Nadabu, Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari, ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
Take unto thee also Aaron thy brother with his sons, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Mshonee Aroni ndugu yako mavazi matakatifu ili yampe ukuu na heshima.
And thou shalt make a holy vesture for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
3 Waambie mafundi stadi wote niliowapa hekima katika shughuli hiyo wamtengenezee Aroni mavazi hayo, ili awekwe wakfu, anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shalt speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s vestments, in which he being consecrated may minister to me.
4 Haya ndiyo mavazi watakayoshona: kifuko cha kifuani, kisibau, kanzu, joho lililorembwa, kilemba na mshipi. Mavazi haya yatashonwa kwa ajili ya ndugu yako Aroni na wanawe ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
5 Waambie watumie dhahabu na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu pamoja na kitani safi.
And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen.
6 “Tengeneza kisibau cha dhahabu, na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, za rangi nyekundu na kitani safi iliyosokotwa, kazi ya fundi stadi.
And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.
7 Kitakuwa na vipande viwili vya mabegani vilivyoshikizwa kwenye pembe zake mbili ili kufungia kisibau.
It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.
8 Mshipi wa kiunoni uliofumwa kwa ustadi utafanana nacho: utakuwa kitu kimoja na hicho kisibau, nao utengenezwe kwa dhahabu na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na nyekundu na kwa kitani iliyosokotwa vizuri.
The very workmanship also and all the variety of the work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
9 “Chukua vito viwili vya shohamu, na uchore juu yake majina ya wana wa Israeli
And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 kufuatana na walivyozaliwa: majina sita katika kito kimoja, na mengine sita katika kito kingine.
Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
11 Yachore majina ya wana wa Israeli juu ya vito hivyo viwili kama vile sonara anavyochonga muhuri. Kisha uvitie vito hivyo katika vijalizo vya dhahabu,
With the work of an engraver and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:
12 na uvifungie juu ya vipande vya mabega ya kisibau yawe kama vito vya ukumbusho kwa wana wa Israeli. Aroni atavaa majina hayo mabegani mwake kama kumbukumbu mbele za Bwana.
And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.
13 Tengeneza vijalizo vya dhahabu
Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.
14 na mikufu miwili ya dhahabu safi iliyosokotwa kama kamba, na uifunge mikufu hiyo kwenye vijalizo.
And two little chains of the purest gold linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
15 “Fanyiza kifuko cha kifuani kwa ajili ya kufanya maamuzi, kazi ya fundi stadi. Kitengeneze kama kile kisibau: cha dhahabu, na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu, cha kitani safi iliyosokotwa.
And thou shalt make the rational of judgment with embroidered work of divers colours, according to the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
16 Kitakuwa cha mraba, chenye urefu wa shibiri moja na upana wa shibiri moja, na kikunjwe mara mbili.
It shall be foursquare and doubled: it shall be the measure of a span both in length and in breadth.
17 Kisha weka safu nne za vito vya thamani juu yake. Safu ya kwanza itakuwa na akiki, yakuti manjano na zabarajadi;
And thou shalt set in it four rows of stones: in the first row shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald:
18 katika safu ya pili itakuwa na almasi, yakuti samawi na zumaridi;
In the second a carbuncle, a sapphire and a jasper.
19 safu ya tatu itakuwa na hiakintho, akiki nyekundu na amethisto;
In the third a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst:
20 na safu ya nne itakuwa na krisolitho, shohamu na yaspi. Yote yatiwe kwenye vijalizo vya dhahabu.
In the fourth a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
21 Patakuwa na vito kumi na viwili, kila kimoja kwa jina mojawapo la wana wa Israeli, kila kimoja kichorwe kama muhuri kikiwa na jina mojawapo la yale makabila kumi na mawili.
And they shall have the names of the children of Israel: with twelve names shall they be engraved, each stone with the name of one according to the twelve tribes.
22 “Kwa ajili ya kile kifuko cha kifuani, tengeneza mikufu ya dhahabu safi, iliyosokotwa kama kamba.
And thou shalt make on the rational chains linked one to another of the purest gold:
23 Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili yake, uzifungie kwenye pembe mbili za hicho kifuko cha kifuani.
And two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two ends at the top of the rational.
24 Funga ile mikufu miwili ya dhahabu kwenye hizo pete zilizo katika pembe za hicho kifuko cha kifuani,
And the golden chains thou shalt join to the rings, that are in the ends thereof:
25 nazo zile ncha nyingine za mkufu zifunge kwenye vile vijalizo viwili, na uzishikamanishe na vile vipande vya mabega vya kile kisibau upande wa mbele.
And the ends of the chains themselves thou shalt join together with two hooks on both sides of the ephod, which is towards the rational.
26 Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu, uzishikamanishe kwenye pembe mbili za chini, upande wa ndani wa kifuko cha kifuani karibu na kisibau.
Thou shalt make also two rings of gold which thou shalt put in the top parts of the rational, in the borders that are over against the ephod, and look towards the back parts thereof.
27 Tengeneza pete nyingine mbili za dhahabu, na uzishikamanishe sehemu ya chini ya vipande vya mabega upande wa mbele wa kile kisibau, karibu na pindo juu kidogo ya mshipi wa kiunoni wa kisibau.
Moreover also other two rings of gold, which are to be set on each side of the ephod beneath, that looketh towards the nether joining, that the rational may be fitted with the ephod,
28 Pete za kifuko cha kifuani zitafungwa kwenye pete zile za kisibau kwa kamba ya buluu, ziunganishwe na ule mshipi wa kiunoni, ili kifuko cha kifuani kisisogee kutoka kwenye kile kisibau.
And may be fastened by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a violet fillet, that the joining artificially wrought may continue, and the rational and the ephod may not be loosed one from the other.
29 “Wakati wowote Aroni aingiapo Mahali Patakatifu, atakuwa na yale majina ya wana wa Israeli moyoni mwake juu ya kile kifuko cha kifuani cha uamuzi kama kumbukumbu ya kudumu mbele za Bwana.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the rational of judgement upon his breast, when he shall enter into the sanctuary, a memorial before the Lord for ever.
30 Pia weka Urimu na Thumimu ndani ya kifuko cha kifuani, yawe juu ya moyo wa Aroni kila mara aingiapo mbele za Bwana. Kwa hiyo siku zote Aroni atakuwa na uwezo kufanya maamuzi kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli mbele za Bwana.
And thou shalt put in the rational of judgment doctrine and truth, which shall be on Aaron’s breast, when he shall go in before the Lord: and he shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his breast, in the sight of the Lord always.
31 “Shona joho la kisibau lote kwa kitambaa cha rangi ya buluu tupu,
And thou shalt make the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
32 na katikati uweke nafasi ya kuingizia kichwa. Kutakuwa na utepe uliofumwa, unaofanana na ukosi kuizunguka nafasi hiyo, ili isichanike.
In the midst whereof above shall be a hole for the head, and a border round about it woven, as is wont to be made in the outmost parts of garments, that it may not easily be broken.
33 Tengeneza makomamanga ya nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu kuzunguka pindo la hilo joho, na uweke pia vikengele vya dhahabu kati ya hayo makomamanga.
And beneath at the feet of the same tunick round about, thou shalt make as it were pomegranates, of violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with little bells set between:
34 Hivyo vikengele vya dhahabu na makomamanga vitapishana kuzunguka upindo wa joho lile.
So that there shall be a golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
35 Ni lazima Aroni alivae anapofanya huduma. Sauti ya hivyo vikengele itasikika anapoingia na kutoka Mahali Patakatifu mbele za Bwana, ili asije akafa.
And Aaron shall be vested with it in the office of his ministry, that the sound may be heard, when he goeth in and cometh out of the sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and that he may not die.
36 “Tengeneza bamba la dhahabu safi na uchore juu yake maneno haya kama vile muhuri huchorwa: Mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
Thou shalt make also a plate of the purest gold: wherein thou shalt grave with engraver’s work, Holy to the Lord.
37 Lifunge hilo bamba kwa kamba ya buluu kwenye kilemba, nalo ni lazima liwe mbele ya kilemba.
And thou shalt tie it with a violet fillet, and it shall be upon the mitre,
38 Aroni alivae bamba hilo kwenye paji la uso wake, naye atachukua hatia kuhusu sadaka takatifu za Waisraeli wanazoweka wakfu, sadaka za aina yoyote. Litakuwa kwenye paji la uso wa Aroni daima ili zikubalike kwa Bwana.
Hanging over the forehead of the high priest. And Aaron shall bear the iniquities of those things, which the children of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and offerings. And the plate shall be always on his forehead, that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
39 “Fuma koti la kitani safi na ufanye kilemba cha kitani safi. Mshipi uwe ni kazi ya mtarizi.
And thou shalt gird the tunick with fine linen, and thou shalt make a fine linen mitre, and a girdle of embroidered work.
40 Watengenezee wana wa Aroni makoti, mishipi na kofia, ili kuwapa ukuu na heshima.
Moreover for the sons of Aaron thou shalt prepare linen tunicks, and girdles and mitres for glory and beauty:
41 Baada ya kumvika Aroni ndugu yako pamoja na wanawe nguo hizi, watie mafuta na kuwabariki. Waweke wakfu ili wanitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And with all these things thou shalt vest Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him. And thou shalt consecrate the hands of them all, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
42 “Watengenezee nguo za ndani za kitani zitakazofunika mwili, kutoka kiunoni hadi mapajani.
Thou shalt make also linen breeches, to cover the flesh of their nakedness from the reins to the thighs:
43 Aroni na wanawe ni lazima wavae haya kila wanapoingia katika Hema la Kukutania au wanaposogelea madhabahu wakati wa kutoa huduma katika Mahali Patakatifu, ili wasije wakafanya kosa wakafa. “Haya yawe maagizo ya kudumu kwa Aroni na vizazi vyake.
And Aaron and his sons shall use them when they shall go in to the tabernacle of the testimony, or when they approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary, lest being guilty of iniquity they die. It shall be a law for ever to Aaron, and to his seed after him.
