Then thou shalt make vpon the breast plate two cheines at the endes of wrethen worke of pure golde.

Thou shalt make also vpon the brest plate two rings of golde, and put the two rings on the two endes of the brest plate.

And thou shalt put the two wrethen chaynes of golde in the two rings in the endes of the brest plate.
25 Nhoma mmienu no a aka no, kyekyere biara ti bɔ sikakɔkɔɔ no a ɛbɔ asɔfotadeɛ no abatiri so no mu.
And the other two endes of the two wrethen cheines, thou shalt fasten in ye two embossements, and shalt put them vpon the shoulders of the Ephod on the foreside of it.
26 Yɛ sika nkawa mmienu na fa hyehyɛ adaaboɔ ntwea mmienu a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no nkyɛn mu.
Also thou shalt make two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two other endes of the brest plate, vpon the border thereof, towarde the inside of the Ephod.

And two other rings of golde thou shalt make, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath in the forepart of it ouer against the coupling of it vpon the broydred garde of the Ephod.

Thus they shall binde the brest plate by his rings vnto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blewe silke, that it may be fast vpon the broydred garde of the Ephod, and that the brest plate be not loosed from the Ephod.
29 “Aaron bɛfa saa ɛkwan yi so na ɔde Israel mmusuakuo no din a ɛwɔ adaaboɔ no so no bɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ; na yei na ɛbɛma Awurade akae Israelman ɛberɛ nyinaa mu.
So Aaron shall beare the names of the children of Israel in the brest plate of iudgement vpon his heart, when he goeth into the holy place, for a remembrance continually before the Lord.

Also thou shalt put in the brest plate of iudgement the Vrim and the Thummim, which shalbe vpon Aarons heart, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall beare the iudgement of the children of Israel vpon his heart before the Lord continually.

32 a wɔagya ɛkwan bi a Aaron de ne tiri bɛwura mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa mfimfini tokuro ma ano no yɛ den sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛ a ɛrentete.
And the hole for his head shalbe in the middes of it, hauing an edge of wouen woorke rounde about the coller of it: so it shalbe as the coller of an habergeon that it rent not.
33 Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
And beneath vpon the skirtes thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, round about the skirts thereof, and belles of gold betweene them round about:
34 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nnɔmma ne ateaa aba a ɛdi afrafra twa asɔfotadeɛ no mmuano ho hyia.
That is, a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate rounde about vpon the skirtes of the robe.
35 Ɛberɛ biara a Aaron bɛkɔ Awurade anim akɔsɔre no, saa asɔfotadeɛ yi na ɔbɛhyɛ. Ɔredi akɔneaba wɔ Awurade anim hɔ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, na ɛdɔn no rewoso sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenwu.
So it shalbe vpon Aaron, when he ministreth, and his sound shalbe heard, when he goeth into the holy place before the Lord, and when he commeth out, and he shall not dye.
36 “Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ma ɛnyɛ trawa sɛ prɛte na twerɛ so sɛdeɛ wɔkurukyire nsɔanodeɛ so no sɛ: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
Also thou shalt make a plate of pure golde, and graue thereon, as signets are grauen, Holines To The Lord,
37 Wɔde ntoma tuntum bɛsɔ mu asensɛn Aaron abotire no anim.
And thou shalt put it on a blew silke lace, and it shalbe vpon the miter: euen vpon the fore front of the miter shall it be.
38 Aaron de saa adeɛ no bɛbɔ ne moma so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ Israelfoɔ no bɔ afɔdeɛ biara na mfomsoɔ ba ho a, ɛho asodie bɛda ne so, na Awurade agye nnipa no, na ɔde wɔn bɔne nso akyɛ wɔn.
So it shalbe vpon Aarons forehead, that Aaron may beare the iniquitie of the offrings, which the children of Israel shall offer in all their holy offrings: and it shall be alwayes vpon his forehead, to make them acceptable before the Lord.
39 “Fa asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ nwono Aaron atadeɛ kɔnsini no. Ma ɛnyɛ damedame na fa ntoma korɔ no ara bi pam abotire na nwono biribi gu ne nkatakɔnmu no nso mu.
Likewise thou shalt embroyder the fine line coat, and thou shalt make a miter of fine line, but thou shalt make a girdell of needle worke.
40 Pam atadeɛ yuu ne abɔwomu ne abotire ma Aaron mmammarima na momfa obuo ne anidie mma wɔn.
Also thou shalt make for Aarons sonnes coates, and thou shalt make the girdels, and bonets shalt thou make them for glorie and comelinesse.
41 Saa ntadeɛ yi na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima na momfa ngo ngu wɔn tirim mfa nhyɛ wɔn asɔfoɔ wɔ ɔsom no mu, na momfa nte wɔn ho sɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ me dea.
And thou shalt put them vpon Aaron thy brother, and on his sonnes with him, and shalt anoint them, and fill their handes, and sanctifie them, that they may minister vnto me in the Priestes office.
42 “Mompam serekye ntadeɛ a ɛfiri wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ no agu so.
Thou shalt also make them linen breeches to couer their priuities: from the loynes vnto the thighs shall they reache.
43 Ɛberɛ biara a Aaron ne ne mmammarima no rekɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ anaasɛ wɔrekɔ afɔrebukyia no anim wɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔnhyɛ. Anyɛ saa a, afɔbuo bɛba wɔn so ma wɔawuwu. “Yei yɛ daa apam a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmammarima.
And they shalbe for Aaron and his sonnes when they come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or whe they come vnto the altar to minister in the holy place, that they commit not iniquitie, and so die. This shalbe a lawe for euer vnto him and to his seede after him.
