1 “Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmabarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar na tew wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfo nsom me.
And take you to you Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children 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 Pam atade kronkron ma wo nua Aaron na ama anuonyam aba nʼadwuma no ho. Pam atade no na ɛnyɛ fɛ, sɛnea ɛbɛma afata nʼadwuma no.
And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother for glory and for beauty.
3 Ka kyerɛ nnipa a mama wɔn adepam ho nyansa na wɔmpam atade no. Ɛno na ɛbɛma no ada nsow wɔ ne mfɛfo mu na ama watumi asom me.
And you shall speak to all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
4 Ntade ahorow a wɔbɛpam no ni: adɛbo asɔfotade, atade yuu, atade kɔnsin a ɛyɛ adamadam, abotiri ne nkyekyeremu. Wɔbɛpam ntade kronkron bi nso de ama Aaron mmabarima no.
And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a turban, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
5 Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwen na ɛbɛpam.
And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

It shall have the two shoulder pieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.

And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

And you shall take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Ɔbo biara, wɔnkyerɛw din asia ngu so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bedidi so mpanyin mu.
Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 Fa ɔkwan a aboɔdemmotwafo si fa twa din gu adwinne so no so kyerɛw din ahorow no sɛnea Israel mma no din te, na fa sika mmuano twa ho hyia.
With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be set in ouches of gold.
12 Fa abo abien no sisi asɔfotade no mmati so na ɛnyɛ nkae ade mma Israelfo. Na daa Aaron nso nam so akae, abɔ wɔn din akyerɛ Awurade.

15 “Momma odwumfo a nʼadwinni yɛ fɛ na ɔnyɛ atemmu adɛbo no. Momfa asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛmpam adɛbo no sɛnea mode pam asɔfotade no.
And you shall make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shall you make it.
16 Mummu adɛbo no nto so na ɛnyɛ sɛ ntama nkotoku.
Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
17 Momfa abo a ɛsom bo a ɛsesa so anan mmobɔ mu. Nea a edi kan no nyɛ bogyanambo, nea ɛto so abien no nyɛ akraatebo na nea etwa to no nyɛ ɔbo a ɛte sɛ ahabammono.
And you shall set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.

And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their settings.
21 Ɔbo no baako biara begyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuw no baako. Na wɔbɛkyerɛw abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔwanode.
And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
22 “Ɔkwan a mobɛfa so de adɛbo no afam asɔfotade no mu ni: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban.
And you shall make on the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.
23 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien, na fa tetare adɛbo no twɔtwɔw so.
And you shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 Fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban abien no hyehyɛ adɛbo no nkaa abien no twɔtwɔw so,
And you shall put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.
25 ntweaban abien a aka no fa biara nso, wɔmfa ntare ɔbo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri no apɔw abien no so nsan mfa ntare asɔfotade no mmati so.
And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains you shall fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod before it.
26 Yɛ sika nkaa abien na fa hyehyɛ adɛbo ntwea abien a ɛwɔ fam no mu.
And you shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 San yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien hyehyɛ asɔfotade no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka nkyekyeremu no.
And two other rings of gold you shall make, and shall put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
28 Fa bibiri hama kyekyere adɛbo no ase na fa hyehyɛ nkaa a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no ase no mu. Eyi remma adɛbo no mfi asɔfotade no ho ntew nsensɛn.
And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 “Aaron bɛfa saa kwan yi so na ɔde Israel mmusuakuw no din a ɛwɔ adɛbo no so no bɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ; na eyi na ɛbɛma Awurade akae Israelman bere nyinaa mu.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
30 Sɛ Aaron rekɔ Awurade anim a, ɔmfa Urim ne Tumim a ase ne hann ne pɛyɛ nhyɛ adɛbo a ɛda ne koko so no kotoku mu. Saa ara na daa Aaron bɛsoa nneɛma a wɔnam so kyerɛ Awurade apɛde de ma ne nkurɔfo no bere biara a ɔbɛkɔ Awurade anim no.
And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he goes in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before the LORD continually.
31 “Wɔde ntama tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotade no
And you shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 na wɔagyaw ɔkwan bi a Aaron de ne ti bewura mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama a wɔanwen to atade no kɔn mu hyia, na ansuane amfa mu.
And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the middle thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
33 Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
And beneath on the hem of it you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adɔmma ne atoaa aba a edi afrafra twa asɔfotade no mmuano ho hyia.
A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe round about.
35 Bere biara a Aaron bɛkɔ Awurade anim akɔsɔre no, saa asɔfotade yi na ɔbɛhyɛ. Ɔredi akɔneaba wɔ Awurade anim hɔ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, na dɔn no rewosow sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.
And it shall be on Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before the LORD, and when he comes out, that he die not.
36 “Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa ma ɛnyɛ tratraa sɛ prɛte na kyerɛw so sɛnea wokurukyerɛw nsɔwanode so no se: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and grave on it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 Wɔde ntama tuntum beso mu asensɛn Aaron abotiri no anim.
And you shall put it on a blue lace, that it may be on the turban; on the forefront of the turban it shall be.
38 Aaron de saa ade no bɛbɔ ne moma so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ Israelfo no bɔ afɔre biara na mfomso ba ho a, ɛho asodi bɛda ne so, na Awurade agye nnipa no, na ɔde wɔn bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
And it shall be on Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
39 “Fa asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ nwen Aaron atade kɔnsin no. Ma ɛnyɛ adamadam na fa ntama koro no ara bi pam abotiri na nwen biribi gu ne nkatakɔnmu no nso mu.
And you shall embroider the coat of fine linen, and you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the girdle of needlework.
40 Pam atade yuu ne nkyekyeremu ne abotiri ma Aaron mmabarima na momfa obu ne nidi mma wɔn.
And for Aaron’s sons you shall make coats, and you shall make for them girdles, and bonnets shall you make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 Saa ntade yi na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima na momfa ngo ngu wɔn tirim mfa nhyɛ wɔn asɔfo wɔ ɔsom no mu, na momfa ntew wɔn ho sɛ asɔfo a wɔyɛ me dea.
And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and 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 “Mompam sirikyi ntade a efi wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntade no agu so.
And you shall make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:
43 Bere biara a Aaron ne ne mmabarima no rekɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ anaasɛ wɔrekɔ afɔremuka no anim wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔnhyɛ. Anyɛ saa a afɔbu bɛba wɔn so ama wɔawuwu. “Eyi yɛ daa apam a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmabarima.
And they shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they come in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever to him and his seed after him.
