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.
“And you, bring your brother Aaron near to you, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to Me, [even] Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, sons of Aaron;
2 Mshonee Aroni ndugu yako mavazi matakatifu ili yampe ukuu na heshima.
and you have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, 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 you speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled [with] a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest 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 [are] the garments which they make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a girdle; indeed, they have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.
5 Waambie watumie dhahabu na nyuzi za rangi ya buluu, za zambarau, na za rangi nyekundu pamoja na kitani safi.
And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the 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 have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of a designer;
7 Kitakuwa na vipande viwili vya mabegani vilivyoshikizwa kwenye pembe zake mbili ili kufungia kisibau.
it has two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.
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.
And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
9 “Chukua vito viwili vya shohamu, na uchore juu yake majina ya wana wa Israeli
And you have taken the two shoham stones, and have engraved the names of the sons of Israel on them;
10 kufuatana na walivyozaliwa: majina sita katika kito kimoja, na mengine sita katika kito kingine.
six of their names on the first stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;
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,
the work of an engraver of stone, [as] engravings of a signet—you engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones; encompassing, you make them [with] filigrees of gold.
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 you have set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial to the sons of Israel—and Aaron has borne their names before YHWH, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.
13 Tengeneza vijalizo vya dhahabu
And you have made filigrees of gold,
14 na mikufu miwili ya dhahabu safi iliyosokotwa kama kamba, na uifunge mikufu hiyo kwenye vijalizo.
and you make them [with] two chains of pure gold [as] wreathed work, work of thick bands, and you have put the thick chains on the filigrees.
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 you have made a breastplate of judgment, the work of a designer; you make it according to the work of the ephod; you make it of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen;
16 Kitakuwa cha mraba, chenye urefu wa shibiri moja na upana wa shibiri moja, na kikunjwe mara mbili.
it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.
17 Kisha weka safu nne za vito vya thamani juu yake. Safu ya kwanza itakuwa na akiki, yakuti manjano na zabarajadi;
And you have set settings of stone in it, four rows of stone: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first row;
18 katika safu ya pili itakuwa na almasi, yakuti samawi na zumaridi;
and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;
19 safu ya tatu itakuwa na hiakintho, akiki nyekundu na amethisto;
and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst;
20 na safu ya nne itakuwa na krisolitho, shohamu na yaspi. Yote yatiwe kwenye vijalizo vya dhahabu.
and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper; they are embroidered with gold in their settings,
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 the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, [as] engravings of a signet, each with his name; they are for the twelve tribes.
22 “Kwa ajili ya kile kifuko cha kifuani, tengeneza mikufu ya dhahabu safi, iliyosokotwa kama kamba.
And you have made wreathed chains on the breastplate, [the] work of thick bands of pure gold;
23 Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu kwa ajili yake, uzifungie kwenye pembe mbili za hicho kifuko cha kifuani.
and you have made two rings of gold on the breastplate, and have put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;
24 Funga ile mikufu miwili ya dhahabu kwenye hizo pete zilizo katika pembe za hicho kifuko cha kifuani,
and you have put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate;
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 you put the two ends of the two thick bands on the two filigrees, and you have put [them] on the shoulders of the ephod toward the front of its face.
26 Tengeneza pete mbili za dhahabu, uzishikamanishe kwenye pembe mbili za chini, upande wa ndani wa kifuko cha kifuani karibu na kisibau.
And you have made two rings of gold, and have set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] toward the side of the ephod within it;
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.
and you have made two rings of gold, and have put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, from beneath, in front of its face, close by its joining, above the girdle of 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 they bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.
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 has borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going into the holy place, for a memorial before YHWH continually.
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 you have put the Lights and the Perfections into the breastplate of judgment, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before YHWH, and Aaron has borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before YHWH continually.
31 “Shona joho la kisibau lote kwa kitambaa cha rangi ya buluu tupu,
And you have made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,
32 na katikati uweke nafasi ya kuingizia kichwa. Kutakuwa na utepe uliofumwa, unaofanana na ukosi kuizunguka nafasi hiyo, ili isichanike.
and the opening for his head has been in its midst; there is a border for its opening all around—the work of a weaver—[and] there is as the opening of a [linen] habergeon for it; it is not torn.
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 you have made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem all around, and bells of gold in their midst all around;
34 Hivyo vikengele vya dhahabu na makomamanga vitapishana kuzunguka upindo wa joho lile.
a bell of gold and a pomegranate [and] a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe all around.
35 Ni lazima Aroni alivae anapofanya huduma. Sauti ya hivyo vikengele itasikika anapoingia na kutoka Mahali Patakatifu mbele za Bwana, ili asije akafa.
And it has been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound has been heard in his coming into the holy place before YHWH, and in his going out, and he does not die.
36 “Tengeneza bamba la dhahabu safi na uchore juu yake maneno haya kama vile muhuri huchorwa: Mtakatifu kwa Bwana.
And you have made a flower of pure gold, and have engraved engravings of a signet on it: Holy to YHWH;
37 Lifunge hilo bamba kwa kamba ya buluu kwenye kilemba, nalo ni lazima liwe mbele ya kilemba.
and you have put it on a blue ribbon, and it has been on the turban—it is toward the front of the face of the turban;
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.
and it has been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron has borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it has been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before YHWH.
39 “Fuma koti la kitani safi na ufanye kilemba cha kitani safi. Mshipi uwe ni kazi ya mtarizi.
And you have embroidered the coat of linen, and have made a turban of linen, and you make a girdle—the work of an embroiderer.
40 Watengenezee wana wa Aroni makoti, mishipi na kofia, ili kuwapa ukuu na heshima.
And you make coats for the sons of Aaron, and you have made girdles for them, and you make caps for them, for glory and for 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 you have clothed your brother Aaron with them, and his sons with him, and have anointed them, and have consecrated their hand, and have sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.
42 “Watengenezee nguo za ndani za kitani zitakazofunika mwili, kutoka kiunoni hadi mapajani.
And make linen trousers for them to cover the naked flesh; they are from the loins even 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 they have been on Aaron and on his sons in their going into the Tent of Meeting, or in their drawing near to the altar to minister in the holy place, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; [it is] a continuous statute to him and to his seed after him.”
