Kutoka 28
1 Umuite Aruni kaka yako na wana wake - Nadabu, na Abihu, na Eleazari, na Ithamari - miongoni mwa wana wa Israeli, ili anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And bring thou near to thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the sons of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2 Nawe utamfanyia Aruni ndugu yako mavazi matakatifu, kwa utukufu na kwa uzuri.
And thou shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.
3 Nawe utawaambia watu wote wenye moyo wa hekima, niliowajaza na roho ya hekima wamfanyie Aruni mavazi ili kumtakasa anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.
4 Na mavazi watakayoyafanya ni kifuko cha kifuani, na naivera, na joho, na kanzu ya kazi ya urembo, na kilemba, na mshipi; nao watawafanyia Aruni nduguye, na wanawe, mavazi matakatifu ili anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a miter, and a sash. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.
5 Nao wataitwaa dhahabu, na nguo ya rangi ya samawi, na ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya rangi nyekundu.
And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
6 Nao waifanye naivera kwa nyuzi za dhahabu, na za samawi, na za zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa kwa kazi ya mstadi.
And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.
7 Lazima itakuwa na vipande viwili vya mabegani, vilivyoungana kwenye ncha zake mbili; ili ipate kuunganywa.
It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.
8 Na mshipi wa kazi ya ustadi ulio juu yake, ili kuifunga mahali pake; utakuwa wa kazi kama ile ya naivera, ya vitu vile vile ya nyuzi za dhahabu, na za rangi ya samawi, na ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa.
And the skillfully woven band, which is upon it, with which to gird it on, shall be like the work of it and of the same piece, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 Nawe utatwaa vito viwili vya shohamu, ya rangi ya chani-kiwiti, nawe utachora juu yake majina ya wana wa Israeli;
And thou shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
10 Majina yao sita katika kito kimoja, na majina sita yaliyosalia katika kile kito cha pili, kwa utaratibu wa kuzaliwa kwao.
six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 Kwa kazi mtu mwenye kuchora mawe kama vile muhuri ichorwavyo, utavichora hivi vito viwili, sawasawa na majina ya wana wa Israeli, nawe utavitia katika vijalizo vya dhahabu.
With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, thou shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel. Thou shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.
12 Nawe utavitia vile vito viwili juu ya vipande vya mabegani vya hiyo naivera, viwe vito vya ukumbusho kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli. Naye Aruni atayachukua majina yao mbele za Yahweh juu ya mabega yake mawili ili kuwa ukumbusho.
And thou shall put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 Nawe fanya vijalizo viwili vya dhahabu
And thou shall make settings of gold,
14 na mikufu miwili ya dhahabu safi; utaifanya iwe mfano wa kamba, ya kazi ya kusokotwa; nawe uitie ile mikufu ya kazi ya kusokotwa katika vile vijalizo.
and two chains of pure gold, like cords shall thou make them, of wreathen work. And thou shall put the wreathen chains on the settings.
15 Nawe lazima utafanya kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu, kazi ya fundi stadi; utakifanya kwa kuiandama ile kazi ya hiyo naivera. Fanya nyuzi za dhahabu, na za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani safi yenye kusokotwa, ndivyo utakavyokifanya.
And thou shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman. Thou shall make it like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, thou shall make it.
16 Kitakuwa mraba, tena cha kukunjwa; urefu wake utakuwa shibiri moja, na upana wake shibiri moja.
It shall be foursquare and double, a span shall be the length of it, and a span the breadth of it.
17 Nawe ukijaze viweko vya vito, safu nne za vito; safu moja itakuwa ni akiki, na yakuti ya rangi ya manjano, na baharamani, hivi vitakuwa safu ya kwanza.
And thou shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row,
18 Na safu ya pili itakuwa zumaridi, na yakuti samawi, na almasi.
and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond,
19 Na safu ya tatu itakuwa hiakintho, na akiki nyekundu, na amethisto.
and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst,
20 Na safu ya nne itakuwa ni zabarajadi, na shohamu, na yaspi. Vito hivyo vitakazwa ndani ya dhahabu kwa kujaa mahali pake.
and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.
21 Na vile vito vitakuwa sawasawa na majina ya wana wa Israeli, kumi na viwili, sawasawa na majina yao. Mfano wa kuchora kwa muhuri kila kimoja sawasawa na jina lake, vitakuwa vya hizo kabila kumi na mbili.
And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name; they shall be for the twelve tribes.
22 Nawe lazima utie katika kile kifuko cha kifuani mikufu mfano wa kamba, ya kazi ya kusokotwa, ya dhahabu safi.
And thou shall make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.
23 Nawe utie maduara mawili ya dhahabu katika kile kifuko cha kifuani, na kuzitia hizo pete mbili katika ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani.
And thou shall make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 Nawe utie hiyo mikufu miwili ya dhahabu iliyosokotwa katika zile pete mbili zilizo katika ncha za kifuko cha kifuani.
And thou shall put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
25 Na ncha zile nyingine za hiyo mikufu miwili ya kusokotwa utazitia katika vile vijalizo viwili, na kuvitia katika vile vipande vya mabegani vya naivera upande wa mbele.
And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart of it.
26 Nawe utafanya viduara vili vya dhahabu, uzitie katika hizo ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani, katika ukingo wake.
And thou shall make two rings of gold, and thou shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge of it, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
27 Nawe lazima ufanye viduara vili vya dhahabu, na kuzitia katika vile vipande viwili vya mabegani vya ile naivera chini yake, upande wa mbele, karibu na kifungo chake, juu ya huo mshipi wa naivera uliosukwa kwa ustadi.
And thou shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
28 Nao watakikaza kile kileso kwa vile viduara vyake kwenye viduara za naivera kwa ukanda wa rangi ya samawi, ili kwamba kikae pale juu ya ule mshipi wa naivera uliosukwa kwa ustadi, ili kwamba kifuko cha kifuani kisiachane na naivera.
And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 Na Aruni atayachukua majina ya wana wa Israeli katika kile kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu juu ya moyo wake kwa kufanya maamuzi, hapo atakapoingia ndani ya mahali patakatifu, kuwa ukumbusho mbele yaYahweh daima.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.
30 Nawe utie hizo Urimu na Thumimu katika kile kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu; nazo zitakuwa juu ya moyo wa Aruni, hapo atakapoingia ndani mbele ya Yahweh na Aruni atachukua hukumu ya hao wana wa Israeli juu ya moyo wake mbele ya Yahweh daima.
And thou shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Jehovah. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.
31 Nawe fanya hiyo joho ya naivera ya rangi ya samawi yote.
And thou shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 Nayo itakuwa na tundu katikati yake kwa kupitisha kichwa; itakuwa na utepe wa kazi ya kusokotwa kuzunguka hilo tundu lake, mfano wa tundu lililo katika kanzu ya chuma, ili lisipasuke.
And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst of it. It shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not torn.
33 Nawe katika pindo zake utatia makomamanga ya rangi ya samawi, na ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya rangi nyekundu, kuzunguka pindo zake kotekote; na njuga za dhahabu kati ya hayo makomamanga pande zote.
And upon the skirts of it thou shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts of it, and bells of gold between them round about:
34 Kengele ya dhahabu na komamanga, kengele ya dhahabu na komamanga, katika pindo za joho kuizunguka pande zote.
a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
35 Nayo itakuwa juu ya Aruni akitumika; na sauti ya hizo kengele itasikilikana hapo aingiapo ndani ya mahali patakatifu mbele ya Yahweh na hapo atokapo nje, ili kwamba asife.
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister. And the sound of it shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out, that he does not die.
36 Nawe fanya bamba la dhahabu safi na kuchora juu yake, mfano wa machoro ya muhuri, “Mtakatifu kwa Yahweh.”
And thou shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.
37 Nawe ulitie hilo bamba katika ukanda wa rangi ya samawi, nalo litakuwa katika kile kilemba; litakuwa upande wa mbele wa kile kilemba.
And thou shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the miter. It shall be upon the forefront of the miter.
38 Nalo litakuwa katika kipaji cha uso cha Aruni, na Aruni atauchukua uovu wa vile vitu vitakatifu, watakavyovitakasa hao wana wa Israeli katika vipawa vyao vyote vitakatifu, nalo litakuwa katika kipaji chake cha uso sikuzote, ili kwamba vipate kukubaliwa mbele za Yahweh.
And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead. And Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the sons of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts. And it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.
39 Na hiyo kanzu utaifuma ya kitani nzuri ya kazi ya urembo, ufanye na kilemba cha nguo ya kitani nzuri, nawe utafanya mshipi wa kazi ya mwenye kutia taraza.
And thou shall weave the tunic in checker work of fine linen. And thou shall make a miter of fine linen. And thou shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.
40 Kisha utafany kanzu kwa ajili ya wana wa Aruni, nawe wafanyie mishipi, wafanyie na kofia kwa utukufu na uzuri.
And for Aaron's sons thou shall make tunics. And thou shall make for them sashes, and head-coverings thou shall make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 Nawe mvike huyo nduguye Aruni na wanawe nao mavazi hayo; nawe watie mafuta, na kuwaweka kwa kazi takatifu, na kuwatakasa, ili wapate kunitumikia mimi katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shall put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
42 Nawe wafanyie suruali za nguo ya kitani, ili kufunika tupu ya miili yao; suruali hizo zitafika tangu kiunoni hata mapajani.
And thou shall make for them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach.
43 Aruni na wanawe watazivaa, hapo watakapoingia katika hema ya kukutania, au hapo watakapoikaribia madhabahu ili watumike katika mahali patakatifu; wasije wakachukua uovu, wakafa; hii itakuwa ni amri ya milele kwake yeye, na kwa wazao wake.
And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in to the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place, that they not bear iniquity, and die. It shall be a statute forever to him and to his seed after him.
