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 you, bring your brother Aaron near to you, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to Me, [even] Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, 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 you have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and for beauty;
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 you speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled [with] a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest to 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 make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a girdle; indeed, they have made holy garments for your brother Aaron, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.
5 Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan a wɔde asaawatam pa na anwono na ɛbɛpam.
And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, 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 have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of a designer;
7 Wɔbɛpam no asinasini mmienu a ɛyɛ animu ne akyire a wɔapam ne mmatire no so abɔ mu.
it has two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.
8 Abɔwomu no bɛyɛ ntoma korɔ no ara bi. Ɛbɛyɛ nsaawatam a ɛyɛ akokɔsradeɛ, tuntum, bibire ne koogyan.
And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
9 “Fa apopobibirieboɔ mmienu na twerɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no din gu so.
And you have taken the two shoham stones, and have engraved the names of the sons of Israel on them;
10 Aboɔdenboɔ biara, wɔntwerɛ edin nsia ngu so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn nyinaa din bɛdidi so mpanin mu.
six of their names on the first stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;
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.
the work of an engraver of stone, [as] engravings of a signet—you engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones; encompassing, you make them [with] filigrees of gold.
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 you have set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial to the sons of Israel—and Aaron has borne their names before YHWH, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.
13 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ntweaban a wɔakyinkyim mmienu.
And you have made filigrees of gold,
14 Na fa mmobareeɛ mmienu a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ tetare mfomfamho a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no mmati so no mu.
and you make them [with] two chains of pure gold [as] wreathed work, work of thick bands, and you have put the thick chains on the filigrees.
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 you have made a breastplate of judgment, the work of a designer; you make it according to the work of the ephod; you make it of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen;
16 Montwa ntomasini no ahinanan na ɛfa biara nyɛ nsateakwaa nkron na mompam mfam so mma ɛnyɛ sɛ kotokuo.
it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its 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 you have set settings of stone in it, four rows of stone: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first row;
18 Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no nyɛ nsrammaboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ ne dɛnkyɛmmoɔ.
and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;
19 Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no nso bɛyɛ akutuhonoboɔ, mfrafraeɛboɔ ne beredumboɔ.
and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst;
20 Nsasoɔ a ɛtɔ so nan no bɛyɛ sikabereɛboɔ, apopobibirieboɔ ne ahwehwɛboɔ. Sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano ntwa ne nyinaa ho nhyia.
and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper; they are embroidered with gold in their settings,
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 are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, [as] engravings of a signet, each with his name; they are for the twelve tribes.
22 “Ɛkwan a mobɛfa so de adaaboɔ no afam asɔfotadeɛ no mu nie: yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ mmobareeɛ,
And you have made wreathed chains on the breastplate, [the] work of thick bands of pure gold;
23 na yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu, na fa tare adaaboɔ no apampam twɛtwɛwa so;
and you have made two rings of gold on the breastplate, and have 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 you have put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at 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 you put the two ends of the two thick bands on the two filigrees, and you have put [them] on the shoulders of the ephod toward the front of its face.
26 Yɛ sika nkawa mmienu na fa hyehyɛ adaaboɔ ntwea mmienu a ɛwɔ asɔfotadeɛ no nkyɛn mu.
And you have made two rings of gold, and have set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] toward the side of the ephod within it;
27 Sane yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu hyehyɛ asɔfotadeɛ no ntwea so wɔ fam ma ɛnka abɔwomu no.
and you have made two rings of gold, and have put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, from beneath, in front of its face, close by its joining, 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 bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is 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 has borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going into the holy place, for a memorial before YHWH 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 you have put the Lights and the Perfections into the breastplate of judgment, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before YHWH, and Aaron has borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before YHWH continually.
31 “Wɔde ntoma tuntum na ɛbɛpam asɔfotadeɛ no
And you have made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,
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 opening for his head has been in its midst; there is a border for its opening all around—the work of a weaver—[and] there is as the opening of a [linen] habergeon for it; it is not torn.
33 Wɔde ntoma tuntum, bibire ne koogyan na ɛbɛpam ato ano.
And you have made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem all around, and bells of gold in their midst all around;
34 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nnɔmma ne ateaa aba a ɛdi afrafra twa asɔfotadeɛ no mmuano ho hyia.
a bell of gold and a pomegranate [and] a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe all around.
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 has been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound has been heard in his coming into the holy place before YHWH, and in his going out, and he does not die.
36 “Afei, boro sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ma ɛnyɛ trawa sɛ prɛte na twerɛ so sɛdeɛ wɔkurukyire nsɔanodeɛ so no sɛ: Kronkron Ma Awurade.
And you have made a flower of pure gold, and have engraved engravings of a signet on it: Holy to YHWH;
37 Wɔde ntoma tuntum bɛsɔ mu asensɛn Aaron abotire no anim.
and you have put it on a blue ribbon, and it has been on the turban—it is toward the front of the face of the turban;
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 has been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron has borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it has been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before YHWH.
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 you have embroidered the coat of linen, and have made a turban of linen, and you make a girdle—the work of an embroiderer.
40 Pam atadeɛ yuu ne abɔwomu ne abotire ma Aaron mmammarima na momfa obuo ne anidie mma wɔn.
And you make coats for the sons of Aaron, and you have made girdles for them, and you make caps for them, for glory and for beauty;
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 you have clothed your brother Aaron with them, and his sons with him, and have anointed them, and have consecrated their hand, and have sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.
42 “Mompam serekye ntadeɛ a ɛfiri wɔn sisi kɔka wɔn nan ase, na wɔhyɛ ansa a, wɔahyɛ wɔn ntadeɛ no agu so.
And make linen trousers for them to cover the naked flesh; they are from the loins even to the thighs;
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 have been on Aaron and on his sons in their going into the Tent of Meeting, or in their drawing near to the altar to minister in the holy place, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; [it is] a continuous statute to him and to his seed after him.”
