2 Mose 28
1 “Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmabarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar na tew wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfo nsom me.
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 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.
You must make for Aaron, your brother, garments that are set apart to me. These garments will be for his honor and splendor.
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.
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 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.
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 Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwen na ɛbɛpam.
Craftsmen must use fine linen that is gold, blue, purple, and scarlet.
6 “Ma ntamanwen mu adwumfo papa mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne bibiri ne asaawa a ɛbere dum ne koogyan ne asaawa fitaa a wɔafura nyɛ asɔfotade no.
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 Wɔbɛpam no asinasin abien a ɛyɛ anim ne akyi a wɔapam ne mmati no so abɔ mu.
It must have two shoulder pieces attached to its two upper corners.
8 Nkyekyeremu no bɛyɛ ntama koro no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsrade, tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan.
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 “Fa apopobibiri abo abien na kyerɛw Israelfo mmusuakuw no din gu so.
You must take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of Israel's twelve sons.
10 Ɔbo biara, wɔnkyerɛw din asia ngu so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bedidi so mpanyin mu.
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 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 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 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.
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 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim
You must make settings of gold
14 ne ntweaban abien a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare ntetareho a ɛwɔ asɔfotade no mmati so no mu.
and two braided chains of pure gold like cords, and you must attach the chains to the settings.
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.
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 Mummu adɛbo no nto so na ɛnyɛ sɛ ntama nkotoku.
It is to be square. You must fold the breastpiece double. It must be one span long and one span wide.
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.
You must place in it four rows of precious stones. The first row must have a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet.
18 Nsaso a ɛto so abien no nyɛ nsrammabo, hoabo ne dɛnkyɛmmo.
The second row must have an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 Nsaso a ɛto so abiɛsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonobo, mfrafraebo ne beredumbo.
The third row must have a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 Nsaso a ɛto so anan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛbo, apopobibiribo ne ahwehwɛbo. Sikakɔkɔɔ mmuano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
The fourth row must have a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They must be mounted in gold settings.
21 Ɔbo no baako biara begyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuw no baako. Na wɔbɛkyerɛw abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔwanode.
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 “Ɔkwan a mobɛfa so de adɛbo no afam asɔfotade no mu ni: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban.
You must make on the breastpiece chains like cords, braided work of pure gold.
23 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien, na fa tetare adɛbo no twɔtwɔw so.
You must make two rings of gold for the breastpiece and must attach them to the two ends of the breastpiece.
24 Fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban abien no hyehyɛ adɛbo no nkaa abien no twɔtwɔw so,
You must attach the two golden chains to the two corners of the breastpiece.
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.
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 Yɛ sika nkaa abien na fa hyehyɛ adɛbo ntwea abien a ɛwɔ fam no mu.
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 San yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa abien hyehyɛ asɔfotade no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka nkyekyeremu no.
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 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.
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 “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.
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 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.
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 “Wɔde ntama tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotade no
You will make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue fabric.
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.
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 Wɔde ntama tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
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 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adɔmma ne atoaa aba a edi afrafra twa asɔfotade no mmuano ho hyia.
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 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.
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 “Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa ma ɛnyɛ tratraa sɛ prɛte na kyerɛw so sɛnea wokurukyerɛw nsɔwanode so no se: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
You must make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.”
37 Wɔde ntama tuntum beso mu asensɛn Aaron abotiri no anim.
You must attach this plate by a blue cord to the front of the turban.
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.
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 “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.
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 Pam atade yuu ne nkyekyeremu ne abotiri ma Aaron mmabarima na momfa obu ne nidi mma wɔn.
For Aaron's sons you must make coats, sashes, and headbands for their honor and splendor.
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.
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 “Mompam sirikyi ntade a efi wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntade no agu so.
You must make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh, that will cover them from the waist to the thighs.
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.
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.
