Kutoka 28
1 Umuite Aruni kaka yako na wana wake - Nadabu, na Abihu, na Eleazari, na Ithamari - miongoni mwa wana wa Israeli, ili anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest — Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2 Nawe utamfanyia Aruni ndugu yako mavazi matakatifu, kwa utukufu na kwa uzuri.
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.
3 Nawe utawaambia watu wote wenye moyo wa hekima, niliowajaza na roho ya hekima wamfanyie Aruni mavazi ili kumtakasa anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shalt speak with all [that are] wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
4 Na mavazi watakayoyafanya ni kifuko cha kifuani, na naivera, na joho, na kanzu ya kazi ya urembo, na kilemba, na mshipi; nao watawafanyia Aruni nduguye, na wanawe, mavazi matakatifu ili anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.
5 Nao wataitwaa dhahabu, na nguo ya rangi ya samawi, na ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya rangi nyekundu.
And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,
6 Nao waifanye naivera kwa nyuzi za dhahabu, na za samawi, na za zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa kwa kazi ya mstadi.
and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.
7 Lazima itakuwa na vipande viwili vya mabegani, vilivyoungana kwenye ncha zake mbili; ili ipate kuunganywa.
It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.
8 Na mshipi wa kazi ya ustadi ulio juu yake, ili kuifunga mahali pake; utakuwa wa kazi kama ile ya naivera, ya vitu vile vile ya nyuzi za dhahabu, na za rangi ya samawi, na ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa.
And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus.
9 Nawe utatwaa vito viwili vya shohamu, ya rangi ya chani-kiwiti, nawe utachora juu yake majina ya wana wa Israeli;
And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Majina yao sita katika kito kimoja, na majina sita yaliyosalia katika kile kito cha pili, kwa utaratibu wa kuzaliwa kwao.
six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 Kwa kazi mtu mwenye kuchora mawe kama vile muhuri ichorwavyo, utavichora hivi vito viwili, sawasawa na majina ya wana wa Israeli, nawe utavitia katika vijalizo vya dhahabu.
According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.
12 Nawe utavitia vile vito viwili juu ya vipande vya mabegani vya hiyo naivera, viwe vito vya ukumbusho kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli. Naye Aruni atayachukua majina yao mbele za Yahweh juu ya mabega yake mawili ili kuwa ukumbusho.
And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 Nawe fanya vijalizo viwili vya dhahabu
And thou shalt make enclosures of gold;
14 na mikufu miwili ya dhahabu safi; utaifanya iwe mfano wa kamba, ya kazi ya kusokotwa; nawe uitie ile mikufu ya kazi ya kusokotwa katika vile vijalizo.
and two chains of pure gold; of laced work shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and fasten the wreathen chains to the enclosures.
15 Nawe lazima utafanya kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu, kazi ya fundi stadi; utakifanya kwa kuiandama ile kazi ya hiyo naivera. Fanya nyuzi za dhahabu, na za rangi ya samawi, na za rangi ya zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani safi yenye kusokotwa, ndivyo utakavyokifanya.
And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment of artistic work, like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus shalt thou make it.
16 Kitakuwa mraba, tena cha kukunjwa; urefu wake utakuwa shibiri moja, na upana wake shibiri moja.
Square shall it be, doubled; a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.
17 Nawe ukijaze viweko vya vito, safu nne za vito; safu moja itakuwa ni akiki, na yakuti ya rangi ya manjano, na baharamani, hivi vitakuwa safu ya kwanza.
And thou shalt set in it settings of stones — four rows of stones: [one] row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald — the first row;
18 Na safu ya pili itakuwa zumaridi, na yakuti samawi, na almasi.
and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19 Na safu ya tatu itakuwa hiakintho, na akiki nyekundu, na amethisto.
and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;
20 Na safu ya nne itakuwa ni zabarajadi, na shohamu, na yaspi. Vito hivyo vitakazwa ndani ya dhahabu kwa kujaa mahali pake.
and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; enclosed in gold shall they be in their settings.
21 Na vile vito vitakuwa sawasawa na majina ya wana wa Israeli, kumi na viwili, sawasawa na majina yao. Mfano wa kuchora kwa muhuri kila kimoja sawasawa na jina lake, vitakuwa vya hizo kabila kumi na mbili.
And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal: every one according to his name shall they be for the twelve tribes.
22 Nawe lazima utie katika kile kifuko cha kifuani mikufu mfano wa kamba, ya kazi ya kusokotwa, ya dhahabu safi.
And thou shalt make on the breastplate chains of laced work, of wreathen work, of pure gold.
23 Nawe utie maduara mawili ya dhahabu katika kile kifuko cha kifuani, na kuzitia hizo pete mbili katika ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani.
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 Nawe utie hiyo mikufu miwili ya dhahabu iliyosokotwa katika zile pete mbili zilizo katika ncha za kifuko cha kifuani.
And thou shalt put the two wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;
25 Na ncha zile nyingine za hiyo mikufu miwili ya kusokotwa utazitia katika vile vijalizo viwili, na kuvitia katika vile vipande vya mabegani vya naivera upande wa mbele.
and the two ends of the two wreathen [cords] thou shalt fasten to the two enclosures, and shalt put [them] on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.
26 Nawe utafanya viduara vili vya dhahabu, uzitie katika hizo ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani, katika ukingo wake.
And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.
27 Nawe lazima ufanye viduara vili vya dhahabu, na kuzitia katika vile vipande viwili vya mabegani vya ile naivera chini yake, upande wa mbele, karibu na kifungo chake, juu ya huo mshipi wa naivera uliosukwa kwa ustadi.
And two rings of gold shalt thou make, and shalt put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod.
28 Nao watakikaza kile kileso kwa vile viduara vyake kwenye viduara za naivera kwa ukanda wa rangi ya samawi, ili kwamba kikae pale juu ya ule mshipi wa naivera uliosukwa kwa ustadi, ili kwamba kifuko cha kifuani kisiachane na naivera.
And they shall bind the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 Na Aruni atayachukua majina ya wana wa Israeli katika kile kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu juu ya moyo wake kwa kufanya maamuzi, hapo atakapoingia ndani ya mahali patakatifu, kuwa ukumbusho mbele yaYahweh daima.
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.
30 Nawe utie hizo Urimu na Thumimu katika kile kifuko cha kifuani cha hukumu; nazo zitakuwa juu ya moyo wa Aruni, hapo atakapoingia ndani mbele ya Yahweh na Aruni atachukua hukumu ya hao wana wa Israeli juu ya moyo wake mbele ya Yahweh daima.
And thou shalt put into the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, that they may be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before Jehovah; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.
31 Nawe fanya hiyo joho ya naivera ya rangi ya samawi yote.
And thou shalt make the cloak of the ephod all of blue.
32 Nayo itakuwa na tundu katikati yake kwa kupitisha kichwa; itakuwa na utepe wa kazi ya kusokotwa kuzunguka hilo tundu lake, mfano wa tundu lililo katika kanzu ya chuma, ili lisipasuke.
And its opening for the head shall be in the midst thereof; there shall be a binding of woven work at its opening round about; as the opening of a coat of mail, it shall be in it — it shall not rend.
33 Nawe katika pindo zake utatia makomamanga ya rangi ya samawi, na ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya rangi nyekundu, kuzunguka pindo zake kotekote; na njuga za dhahabu kati ya hayo makomamanga pande zote.
And on the skirts thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34 Kengele ya dhahabu na komamanga, kengele ya dhahabu na komamanga, katika pindo za joho kuizunguka pande zote.
a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about.
35 Nayo itakuwa juu ya Aruni akitumika; na sauti ya hizo kengele itasikilikana hapo aingiapo ndani ya mahali patakatifu mbele ya Yahweh na hapo atokapo nje, ili kwamba asife.
And it shall be on Aaron for service; that his sound may be heard when he goeth into the sanctuary before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.
36 Nawe fanya bamba la dhahabu safi na kuchora juu yake, mfano wa machoro ya muhuri, “Mtakatifu kwa Yahweh.”
And thou shalt make a thin plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, as the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!
37 Nawe ulitie hilo bamba katika ukanda wa rangi ya samawi, nalo litakuwa katika kile kilemba; litakuwa upande wa mbele wa kile kilemba.
And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the turban — upon the front of the turban shall it be.
38 Nalo litakuwa katika kipaji cha uso cha Aruni, na Aruni atauchukua uovu wa vile vitu vitakatifu, watakavyovitakasa hao wana wa Israeli katika vipawa vyao vyote vitakatifu, nalo litakuwa katika kipaji chake cha uso sikuzote, ili kwamba vipate kukubaliwa mbele za Yahweh.
And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all gifts of their holy things; and it shall be continually on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.
39 Na hiyo kanzu utaifuma ya kitani nzuri ya kazi ya urembo, ufanye na kilemba cha nguo ya kitani nzuri, nawe utafanya mshipi wa kazi ya mwenye kutia taraza.
And thou shalt weave the vest of byssus; and thou shalt make a turban of byssus; and thou shalt make a girdle of embroidery.
40 Kisha utafany kanzu kwa ajili ya wana wa Aruni, nawe wafanyie mishipi, wafanyie na kofia kwa utukufu na uzuri.
And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make vests; and thou shalt make for them girdles; and high caps shalt thou make for them, for glory and for ornament.
41 Nawe mvike huyo nduguye Aruni na wanawe nao mavazi hayo; nawe watie mafuta, na kuwaweka kwa kazi takatifu, na kuwatakasa, ili wapate kunitumikia mimi katika kazi ya ukuhani.
And thou shalt clothe with them Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.
42 Nawe wafanyie suruali za nguo ya kitani, ili kufunika tupu ya miili yao; suruali hizo zitafika tangu kiunoni hata mapajani.
And thou shalt make them linen trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they reach.
43 Aruni na wanawe watazivaa, hapo watakapoingia katika hema ya kukutania, au hapo watakapoikaribia madhabahu ili watumike katika mahali patakatifu; wasije wakachukua uovu, wakafa; hii itakuwa ni amri ya milele kwake yeye, na kwa wazao wake.
And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die — an everlasting statute for him and his seed after him.
