“Summon your [older] brother Aaron and his sons—Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ([Set them apart/They are the ones whom I have chosen]) from [the rest of] the Israeli people, in order that they can serve me [by being] priests.
2 Ìwọ yóò sì dá aṣọ mímọ́ fún Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ, láti fún un ni ọ̀ṣọ́ àti ọlá.

Talk to all the skilled workmen, those to whom I have given special ability. [Tell them] to make clothes for Aaron, for him to wear when he is (set apart/dedicated) [to become] a priest to serve me.
4 Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn aṣọ tí wọn yóò dá: ìgbàyà kan, ẹ̀wù efodu, ọ̀já àmùrè kan, ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ọlọ́nà, fìlà àti aṣọ ìgúnwà. Kí wọn kí ó dá àwọn aṣọ mímọ́ yìí fún Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè sìn mí gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà.
These are the clothes that they are to make: A sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest, a sacred apron, a robe, an embroidered tunic/gown, a (turban/cloth to wrap around his head), and a sash/waistband. These are the clothes that your [older] brother Aaron and his sons must wear as they serve me [by doing the work that] priests do.
5 Wọn yóò sì lo wúrà, aṣọ aláró, elése àlùkò àti ti òdòdó àti ti ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára.
The skilled workmen must use fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make these clothes.”

“The skilled workmen must make the sacred apron from fine linen, and skillfully embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
7 Kí ó ni aṣọ èjìká méjì tí a so mọ́ igun rẹ̀ méjèèjì, kí a lè so ó pọ̀.
It must have two shoulder straps, to join the front part to the back part.

A carefully-woven sash, which must be made from the same materials as the sacred apron, must be [sewn] onto the sacred apron.
9 “Ìwọ yóò sì mú òkúta óníkìsì méjì, ìwọ yóò sì fín orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sára wọn.
[A skilled workman] must take two [expensive] onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
10 Ní ti ìbí wọn, orúkọ àwọn mẹ́fà sára òkúta kan àti orúkọ àwọn mẹ́fà tókù sára òkúta kejì.
He must engrave the names in the order in which Jacob’s sons were born. He must engrave six names on one stone, and the other six names on the other stone.

Then he should fasten the stones onto the shoulder straps [of the sacred apron], to represent the twelve Israeli tribes. In that way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes on his shoulders in order that [I], Yahweh, will never forget [my people] (OR, in order that [he will always] remember that [those tribes belong to] Yahweh).
13 Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe ojú ìdè wúrà,
The settings for the stones must be made from gold.

[Tell them to] make two tiny chains that are braided like cords, and fasten the chains to the settings.”

“[Tell the skilled workman to] make a sacred pouch for Aaron to wear over his chest. [He will use the things he puts into the pouch] to determine [my answers to the questions he asks]. It must be made of the same materials as the sacred apron, and embroidered in the same way.
16 Kí ìhà mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin rẹ̀ ṣe déédé—kí ó jẹ́ ìwọ̀n ìka kan ní ìnà àti ìwọ̀n ìka kan ní ìbú, kí o sì ṣe é ní ìṣẹ́po méjì.
It is to be square, and the material must be folded double, so that it is (9 in./22 cm.) on each side.

In the fourth row he must put a [yellow] beryl, a [red] carnelian, and a [green] jasper.

A gem-cutter should engrave on each of these twelve stones the name of one of the sons of Jacob. These names will represent the twelve Israeli tribes.
22 “Fún ìgbàyà náà, ìwọ yóò ṣe okùn ẹ̀wọ̀n ti kìkì wúrà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀já àmùrè.
The two [chains] that are made from pure gold and braided like cords are for [attaching] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].
23 Ìwọ yóò ṣe òrùka wúrà méjì fún un, kí o sì so wọ́n mọ́ igun méjèèjì ìgbàyà náà.
[The workman must] make two gold rings, and attach them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.

[He must make] two gold cords, and fasten one end of each cord to one of the rings.
25 àti etí ẹ̀wọ̀n méje ni kí o so mọ́ ojú ìdè méjèèjì, kí o sì fi sí èjìká ẹ̀wù efodu náà níwájú.
He must fasten the other end of each cord to the two settings [that enclose the stones]. In that way, the sacred pouch will be attached to the shoulder straps of the sacred apron.
26 Ìwọ yóò ṣe òrùka wúrà méjì, ìwọ yóò sì so wọ́n mọ́ igun méjì ìgbàyà kejì ní ìhà inú tí ó ti ẹ̀wù efodu náà.
Then [he must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower corners of the sacred pouch, on the inside edges, next to the sacred apron.
27 Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe òrùka wúrà méjì, ìwọ yóò sì fi wọ́n sí èjìká ẹ̀wù efodu méjèèjì ní ìsàlẹ̀, sí ìhà iwájú rẹ̀, tí ó súnmọ́ ojú sí ìránṣọ náà, lókè onírúurú ọnà ọ̀já ẹ̀wù efodu náà.
[He must] make two more gold rings, and attach them to the lower part of the front of the shoulder straps, near to where [the shoulder straps] are joined [to the sacred apron], just above the carefully-woven sash/waistband.
28 Wọn yóò sì so òrùka ìgbàyà mọ́ òrùka ẹ̀wù efodu pẹ̀lú ọ̀já aláró, pa á pọ̀ mọ́ ìgbànú, kí a má ba à tú ìgbàyà náà kúrò lára ẹ̀wù efodu náà.
The skilled workman must tie the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch is above the sash/waistband and does not come loose from the sacred apron.
29 “Nígbàkígbà tí Aaroni bá wọ Ibi Mímọ́, òun yóò ru orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní gbogbo ọ̀kan rẹ̀ ni ìgbàyà ìpinnu bí ìrántí nígbà gbogbo níwájú Olúwa.
In that way, Aaron will have the names of the twelve Israeli tribes in the sacred pouch close to his chest when he enters the Holy Place. This will remind him that I, Yahweh, [will never forget my people] (OR, [that he represents my people when he talks to me, Yahweh]).
30 Bákan náà ìwọ yóò sì mu Urimu àti Tumimu sínú ìgbàyà, kí wọn kí ó wà ní ọkàn Aaroni nígbàkígbà tí ó bá ń wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa. Aaroni yóò sì máa ru ohun ti a ń fi ṣe ìpinnu fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ọkàn rẹ̀ nígbà gbogbo níwájú Olúwa.
Put into the sacred pouch the two things that the priest will use to determine my answers to the questions he asks. In that way, they will be close to his chest when he enters [the Holy Place to talk] to me. He will use them to find out what is my will for the Israeli people.”
31 “Ìwọ yóò ṣì ṣe aṣọ ìgúnwà ẹ̀wù efodu náà ní kìkì aṣọ aláró,
“[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.
32 pẹ̀lú ojú ọrùn kí ó wà láàrín rẹ̀ fún orí. Kí iṣẹ́ ọ̀nà wà létí rẹ̀ bí ìṣẹ́tí yí i ká bí agbádá, kí ó má ba à ya.
It is to have an opening through which [the priest] can put his head. They must sew a border around this opening, to keep the material from tearing.
33 Ṣe pomegiranate ti aṣọ aláró, ti elése àlùkò àti ti òdòdó yí ìṣẹ́tí ọ̀já àmùrè náà ká, pẹ̀lú ṣaworo wúrà láàrín wọn.
At the lower edge on the robe, they must fasten [decorations that look like] pomegranate fruit. They must be [woven from] blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
34 Àwọn ṣaworo wúrà àti àwọn pomegiranate ni kí ó yí ìṣẹ́tí ọ̀já àmùrè náà ká.
Between each of these decorations, they must fasten a tiny gold bell.

When Aaron enters the Holy Place [in the Sacred Tent] to do his work as a priest and when he leaves the Sacred Tent, the bells will ring [as he walks]. As a result, he will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
36 “Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe àwo kìkì wúrà, ìwọ yóò sì fín sára rẹ̀ bí, fínfín èdìdì àmì pé. Mímọ́ sí Olúwa.
“[Tell them to] make a tiny ornament of pure gold, and tell a (skilled workman/gem-cutter) to engrave on it the words, ‘Dedicated to Yahweh.’
37 Ìwọ yóò fi ọ̀já aláró sára rẹ̀ ìwọ yóò sì so ó mọ́ fìlà náà; kí ó sì wà níwájú fìlà náà.
They should fasten this ornament to the front of the turban by a blue cord.
38 Kí ó wà níwájú orí Aaroni, kí ó sì lè máa ru ẹ̀bi tí ó jẹ mọ́ ẹ̀bùn mímọ́ ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti yà sí mímọ́, èyíkéyìí tí ẹ̀bùn wọn lè jẹ́. Yóò máa wà níwájú orí Aaroni nígbà gbogbo, kí wọn lè jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà fún Olúwa.
Aaron must always wear this on his forehead. In that way, Aaron himself will show [that he accepts] the guilt if the Israeli people offer [their sacrifices] to me in a way that is not correct, and I, Yahweh, will accept their sacrifices.
39 “Ìwọ yóò sì fi ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára hun ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, ìwọ yóò sì fi ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára ṣe fìlà. Ìwọ yóò sì fi iṣẹ́ abẹ́rẹ́ ṣe ọ̀já àmùrè.
“[Tell them to] weave the long-sleeved tunic/gown from fine linen. Also, they must make from fine linen a turban and a sash/waistband, and embroider [designs on it].
40 Ìwọ yóò sì dá ẹ̀wù àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, ọ̀já àmùrè àti ìgbàrí fún àwọn ọmọ Aaroni, láti fún wọn ní ọ̀ṣọ́ àti ọlá.
“[Tell them to] make beautiful long-sleeved tunics/gowns, sashes, and caps for Aaron’s sons. Make ones that will be suitable for those who have this dignified work.

Put these clothes on your [older] brother Aaron and on his sons. Then (set them apart/dedicate them) for this work by anointing them [with olive oil], in order that they may serve me [by being] priests.
42 “Ìwọ yóò dá ṣòkòtò ọ̀gbọ̀ fún wọn, kí wọn lè máa fi bo ìhòhò wọn, kí ó dé ìbàdí dé itan.
Also [tell them to] make linen undershorts for them. The undershorts should extend from their waists to their thighs, in order that no one can see their private parts.
43 Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gbọdọ̀ wọ̀ wọ́n nígbàkígbà tí wọ́n bá wọ àgọ́ àjọ lọ tàbí nígbà tí wọ́n bá súnmọ́ pẹpẹ láti ṣiṣẹ́ ní Ibi Mímọ́ kí wọn kí ó má ba à dẹ́ṣẹ̀, wọn a sì kú. “Èyí jẹ́ ìlànà láéláé fún Aaroni àti fún irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
Aaron and his sons must always wear those undershorts when they enter the Sacred Tent or when they come near to the altar to offer sacrifices in the Holy Place. If they do not obey this command, I will cause them to die. Aaron and all his male descendants must obey this rule forever.”
