2 Mose 28
1 “Yi wo nua Aaron ne ne mmammarima Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar na te wɔn ho na wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ nsom me.
And thou shalt let come near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may be a priest unto me; Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Elazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.
2 Pam atadeɛ kronkron ma wo nua Aaron na ama animuonyam aba nʼadwuma no ho. Pam atadeɛ no na ɛnyɛ fɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma afata nʼadwuma no.
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.
3 Ka kyerɛ nnipa a mama wɔn adepam ho nyansa na wɔmpam atadeɛ no. Ɛno na ɛbɛma ne ho ada nso wɔ nʼafɛfoɔ mu na ama watumi asom me.
And thou shalt speak unto all that are wisehearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make garments for Aaron, to sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.
4 Ntadeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔbɛpam no nie: adaaboɔ asɔfotadeɛ, asɔfotadeɛ, atadeɛ yuu, atadeɛ kɔnsini a ɛyɛ damedame, abɔtiten ne abɔwomu. Wɔbɛpam ntadeɛ kronkron bi nso de ama Aaron mmammarima no.
And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a checkered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, to be a priest unto me.
5 Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwono na ɛbɛpam.
And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and the linen.
6 “Ma ntomanwono mu adwumfoɔ papa mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ne bibire ne asaawa a ɛberedum ne koogyan ne asaawa fitaa a wɔafira nyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no.
And they shall make the ephod, of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet yarn, and twisted linen, of weaver's work.
7 Wɔbɛpam no asinasini mmienu a ɛyɛ animu ne akyire a wɔapam ne mmatire no so abɔ mu.
Two shoulder-pieces shall it have joined at the two edges thereof; by which it shall be joined together.
8 Abɔwomu no bɛyɛ ntoma korɔ no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ nsaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan.
And the belt for girding, which is upon it, shall be of the same make, out of the same piece with itself; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen.
9 “Fa apopobibirieboɔ mmienu na twerɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no din gu so.
And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Aboɔdenboɔ biara, wɔntwerɛ edin nsia ngu so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bɛdidi so mpanin mu.
Six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, according to the order of their birth.
11 Fa ɛkwan a aboɔdenboɔtwafoɔ si fa twa edin gu adwinneɛ so, na twerɛ edin ahodoɔ no sɛdeɛ Israel mma no din te, na fa sika ntotoano twa ho hyia.
With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engraving of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel; fitted in settings of gold shalt thou make them.
12 Fa aboɔdemmoɔ mmienu no sisi asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so na ɛnyɛ nkaedeɛ mma Israelfoɔ. Na daa Aaron nso nam so akae, abɔ wɔn din akyerɛ Awurade.
And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial unto the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim mmienu.
And thou shalt make casings of gold;
14 Na fa mmobareeɛ mmienu a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare mfomfamho a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so no mu.
And two chains of pure gold, with knots at the ends, of wreathed work shalt thou make them, and thou shalt fasten the wreathed chains to the casings.
15 “Momma odwumfoɔ a nʼadwinnie yɛ fɛ na ɔnyɛ atemmuo adaaboɔ no. Momfa asaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na mompam adaaboɔ no sɛdeɛ mode pam asɔfotadeɛ no.
And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment, of weaver's work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and of twisted linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Montwa ntomasini no ahinanan na ɛfa biara nyɛ nsateakwaa nkron na mompam mfam so mma ɛnyɛ sɛ kotokuo.
Four-square shall it be, double; a span in length, and a span in breadth.
17 Momfa aboɔdemmoɔ nsasoɔ ɛnan mmobɔ mu. Nsasoɔ a ɛdi ɛkan no nyɛ bogyanamboɔ, deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ akarateboɔ na deɛ ɛtwa toɔ no nyɛ ɛboɔ a ɛte sɛ ahahammonoboɔ.
And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row, a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row.
18 Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ nsrammaboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ ne dɛnkyɛmmoɔ.
And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.

And the third row, an opal, a turquoise, and an amethyst.
20 Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so nan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛboɔ, apopobibirieboɔ ne ahwehwɛboɔ. Sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
And the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be fitted in golden casings when they are set in.
21 Aboɔdemmoɔ no baako biara bɛgyina hɔ ama Israel mmusuakuo no baako. Na wɔbɛtwerɛ abusua ko no din agu so sɛ nsɔanodeɛ.
And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; [engraved] with the engraving of a signet, every one according to his name, shall they be for the twelve tribes.
22 “Ɛkwan a mobɛfa so de adaaboɔ no afam asɔfotadeɛ no mu nie: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ,
And thou shalt make on the breastplate chains with knots at the ends, of wreathed work, of pure gold.
23 na yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu, na fa tare adaaboɔ no apampam twɛtwɛwa so;
And thou shalt make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ mmienu no bɛhyehyɛ adaaboɔ no nkawa mmienu no mu.
And thou shalt put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings, on the ends of the breastplate.
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 ends of the two wreathed chains thou shalt fasten on the two casings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod on the outside thereof.
26 Yɛ sika nkawa mmienu na fa hyehyɛ adaaboɔ ntwea mmienu a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no nkyɛn mu.
And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them on the two ends of the breastplate on its border, which is on the opposite side of the ephod, inward.
27 Sane yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu hyehyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka abɔwomu no.
And thou shalt make two more rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, toward its front part, close by its seam, above the girdle of the ephod.
28 Fa bibire nhoma kyekyere adaaboɔ no ase na fa hyehyɛ nkawa a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no ase no mu. Yei remma adaaboɔ no mfiri asɔfotadeɛ no ho nte ntwontwɔn.
And they shall fasten the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may remain on the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate 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.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually.
30 Sɛ Aaron rekɔ Awurade anim a, ɔmfa Urim ne Tumim a aseɛ ne hann ne pɛyɛ nhyɛ adaaboɔ a ɛda ne koko so no kotokuo mu. Saa ara na daa Aaron bɛsoa nneɛma a wɔnam so kyerɛ Awurade apɛdeɛ de ma ne nkurɔfoɔ ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛkɔ Awurade anim no.
And thou shalt put into the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually.
31 “Wɔde ntoma tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotadeɛ no
And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod altogether of blue woolen yarn.
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 there shall be an opening in the top of it, in the midst thereof; it shall have a binding of woven work, round about its opening, as it is on the opening of a habergeon, so shall it be thereon, that it be not rent.
33 Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
And thou shalt make on its lower hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, round about its lower hem; and bells of gold between them round about:
34 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nnɔmma ne ateaa aba a ɛdi afrafra twa asɔfotadeɛ no mmuano ho hyia.
A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the lower hem of the robe round about.
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.
And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministereth; and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in into the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
36 “Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ma ɛnyɛ trawa sɛ prɛte na twerɛ so sɛdeɛ wɔkurukyire nsɔanodeɛ so no sɛ: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engraving of a signet, Holy unto the Lord.
37 Wɔde ntoma tuntum bɛsɔ mu asensɛn Aaron abotire no anim.
And thou shalt fasten it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the front of the mitre 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.
And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead; and Aaron shall atone for the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be upon his forehead always, that they may be received in favor 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.
And thou shalt make the coat of linen checkered, and thou shalt make a mitre of linen, and a girdle shalt thou make of embroiderer's work.
40 Pam atadeɛ yuu ne abɔwomu ne abotire ma Aaron mmammarima na momfa obuo ne anidie mma wɔn.
And for Aaron's sons shalt thou make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles; and bonnets thou shalt make for them, for glory and for ornament.
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 clothe therewith Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and thou shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may be priests unto me.
42 “Mompam serekye ntadeɛ a ɛfiri wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ no agu so.
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs shall they reach.
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 shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die; a statute for ever shall it be for him and for his seed after him.
