2 你要给你哥哥亚伦做圣衣为荣耀，为华美。
[Tell the people to] make beautiful clothes for Aaron, clothes that are [suitable for one who] has this dignified and sacred [work].
3 又要吩咐一切心中有智慧的，就是我用智慧的灵所充满的，给亚伦做衣服，使他分别为圣，可以给我供祭司的职分。
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 所要做的就是胸牌、以弗得、外袍、杂色的内袍、冠冕、腰带，使你哥哥亚伦和他儿子穿这圣服，可以给我供祭司的职分。
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 要用金线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线，并细麻去做。
The skilled workmen must use fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make these clothes.”
6 “他们要拿金线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线，并捻的细麻，用巧匠的手工做以弗得。

7 以弗得当有两条肩带，接上两头，使它相连。
It must have two shoulder straps, to join the front part to the back part.
8 其上巧工织的带子，要和以弗得一样的做法，用以束上，与以弗得接连一块，要用金线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线，并捻的细麻做成。
A carefully-woven sash, which must be made from the same materials as the sacred apron, must be [sewn] onto the sacred apron.
9 要取两块红玛瑙，在上面刻以色列儿子的名字：
[A skilled workman] must take two [expensive] onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob.
10 六个名字在这块宝石上，六个名字在那块宝石上，都照他们生来的次序。
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.
11 要用刻宝石的手工，仿佛刻图书，按着以色列儿子的名字，刻这两块宝石，要镶在金槽上。
A gem-cutter should engrave these names on the stones. Then he should enclose the stones in (settings/tiny gold frames).

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 要用金子做二槽，
The settings for the stones must be made from gold.
14 又拿精金，用拧工仿佛拧绳子，做两条链子，把这拧成的链子搭在二槽上。”
[Tell them to] make two tiny chains that are braided like cords, and fasten the chains to the settings.”
15 “你要用巧匠的手工做一个决断的胸牌。要和以弗得一样的做法：用金线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线，并捻的细麻做成。
“[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 这胸牌要四方的，叠为两层，长一虎口，宽一虎口。
It is to be square, and the material must be folded double, so that it is (9 in./22 cm.) on each side.
17 要在上面镶宝石四行：第一行是红宝石、红璧玺、红玉；
[The skilled workman must] fasten four rows of valuable stones onto the pouch. In the first row he must put a [red] ruby, a [yellow] topaz, and a [red] garnet.

In the fourth row he must put a [yellow] beryl, a [red] carnelian, and a [green] jasper.
21 这些宝石都要按着以色列十二个儿子的名字，仿佛刻图书，刻十二个支派的名字。
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 要在胸牌上用精金拧成如绳的链子。
The two [chains] that are made from pure gold and braided like cords are for [attaching] the sacred pouch [to the sacred apron].
23 在胸牌上也要做两个金环，安在胸牌的两头。
[The workman must] make two gold rings, and attach them to the upper corners of the sacred pouch.
24 要把那两条拧成的金链子，穿过胸牌两头的环子。
[He must make] two gold cords, and fasten one end of each cord to one of the rings.
25 又要把链子的那两头接在两槽上，安在以弗得前面肩带上。
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 要做两个金环，安在胸牌的两头，在以弗得里面的边上。
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 又要做两个金环，安在以弗得前面两条肩带的下边，挨近相接之处，在以弗得巧工织的带子以上。
[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 要用蓝细带子把胸牌的环子与以弗得的环子系住，使胸牌贴在以弗得巧工织的带子上，不可与以弗得离缝。
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 亚伦进圣所的时候，要将决断胸牌，就是刻着以色列儿子名字的，带在胸前，在耶和华面前常作纪念。
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 又要将乌陵和土明放在决断的胸牌里；亚伦进到耶和华面前的时候，要带在胸前，在耶和华面前常将以色列人的决断牌带在胸前。”
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 “你要做以弗得的外袍，颜色全是蓝的。
“[Tell the workmen to] use only blue [cloth] to make the robe that is to be worn underneath the priest’s sacred apron.
32 袍上要为头留一领口，口的周围织出领边来，仿佛铠甲的领口，免得破裂。
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 袍子周围底边上要用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线做石榴。在袍子周围的石榴中间要有金铃铛：
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 一个金铃铛一个石榴，一个金铃铛一个石榴，在袍子周围的底边上。
Between each of these decorations, they must fasten a tiny gold bell.
35 亚伦供职的时候要穿这袍子。他进圣所到耶和华面前，以及出来的时候，袍上的响声必被听见，使他不至于死亡。
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 “你要用精金做一面牌，在上面按刻图书之法刻着‘归耶和华为圣’。
“[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 要用一条蓝细带子将牌系在冠冕的前面。
They should fasten this ornament to the front of the turban by a blue cord.
38 这牌必在亚伦的额上，亚伦要担当干犯圣物条例的罪孽；这圣物是以色列人在一切的圣礼物上所分别为圣的。这牌要常在他的额上，使他们可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。
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 要用杂色细麻线织内袍，用细麻布做冠冕，又用绣花的手工做腰带。
“[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 “你要为亚伦的儿子做内袍、腰带、裹头巾，为荣耀，为华美。
“[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.
41 要把这些给你的哥哥亚伦和他的儿子穿戴，又要膏他们，将他们分别为圣，好给我供祭司的职分。
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 要给他们做细麻布裤子，遮掩下体；裤子当从腰达到大腿。
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 亚伦和他儿子进入会幕，或就近坛，在圣所供职的时候必穿上，免得担罪而死。这要为亚伦和他的后裔作永远的定例。”
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.”
