Exodus 28
1 And do you take to yourself both Aaron your brother, and his sons, even [them] of the children of Israel; so that Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron, may minister to me.
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.
2 And you shall make holy apparel for Aaron your brother, for honour and glory.
Nawe utamfanyia Aruni ndugu yako mavazi matakatifu, kwa utukufu na kwa uzuri.
3 And speak you to all those who are wise in understanding, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom and perception; and they shall make the holy apparel of Aaron for the sanctuary, in which [apparel] he shall minister to me as priest.
Nawe utawaambia watu wote wenye moyo wa hekima, niliowajaza na roho ya hekima wamfanyie Aruni mavazi ili kumtakasa anitumikie katika kazi ya ukuhani.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-plate, and the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the tunic with a fringe, and the tire, and the girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron and his sons to minister to me as priests.
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.
5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Nao wataitwaa dhahabu, na nguo ya rangi ya samawi, na ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya rangi nyekundu.
6 And they shall make the shoulder-piece of fine linen spun, the woven work of the embroiderer.
Nao waifanye naivera kwa nyuzi za dhahabu, na za samawi, na za zambarau, na nyekundu, na kitani nzuri yenye kusokotwa kwa kazi ya mstadi.
7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined together, fastened on the two sides.
Lazima itakuwa na vipande viwili vya mabegani, vilivyoungana kwenye ncha zake mbili; ili ipate kuunganywa.
8 And the woven work of the shoulder-pieces which is upon it, shall be of one piece according to the work, of pure gold and blue and purple, and spun scarlet and fine twined linen.
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.
9 And you shall take the two stones, the stones of emerald, and you shall grave on them the names of the children of Israel.
Nawe utatwaa vito viwili vya shohamu, ya rangi ya chani-kiwiti, nawe utachora juu yake majina ya wana wa Israeli;
10 Six names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second stone, according to their births.
Majina yao sita katika kito kimoja, na majina sita yaliyosalia katika kile kito cha pili, kwa utaratibu wa kuzaliwa kwao.
11 [It shall be] the work of the stone-engraver's are; as the graving of a seal you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel.
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.
12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the shoulder-piece: they are memorial-stones for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel before the Lord on his two shoulders, a memorial for them.
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.
13 And you shall make circlets of pure gold;
Nawe fanya vijalizo viwili vya dhahabu
14 and you shall make two fringes of pure gold, variegated with flowers wreathen work; and you shall put the wreathen fringes on the circlets, fastening them on their shoulder-pieces in front.
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.
15 And you shall make the oracle of judgement, the work of the embroiderer: in keeping with the ephod, you shall make it of gold, and blue and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun.
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.
16 You shall make it square: it shall be double; of a span the length of it, and of a span the breadth.
Kitakuwa mraba, tena cha kukunjwa; urefu wake utakuwa shibiri moja, na upana wake shibiri moja.
17 And you shall interweave with it a texture of four rows of stone; there shall be a row of stones, a sardius, a topaz, and emerald, the first row.
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.
18 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
Na safu ya pili itakuwa zumaridi, na yakuti samawi, na almasi.
19 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, an amethyst:
Na safu ya tatu itakuwa hiakintho, na akiki nyekundu, na amethisto.
20 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and a beryl, and an onyx stone, set round with gold, bound together with gold: let them be according to their row.
Na safu ya nne itakuwa ni zabarajadi, na shohamu, na yaspi. Vito hivyo vitakazwa ndani ya dhahabu kwa kujaa mahali pake.
21 And let the stones of the names of the children of Israel be twelve according to their names, engravings as of seals: let them be for the twelve tribes each according to the name.
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.
22 And you shall make on the oracle woven fringes, a chain-work of pure gold.
Nawe lazima utie katika kile kifuko cha kifuani mikufu mfano wa kamba, ya kazi ya kusokotwa, ya dhahabu safi.
23 And Aaron shall take the names of the children of Israel, on the oracle of judgement on his breast; a memorial before God for him as he goes into the sanctuary.
Nawe utie maduara mawili ya dhahabu katika kile kifuko cha kifuani, na kuzitia hizo pete mbili katika ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani.
24 And you shall put the fringes on the oracle of judgement; you shall put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle,
Nawe utie hiyo mikufu miwili ya dhahabu iliyosokotwa katika zile pete mbili zilizo katika ncha za kifuko cha kifuani.
25 and you shall put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front.
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.
26 And you shall put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of judgement; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgements of the children of Israel on his breast before the Lord continually.
Nawe utafanya viduara vili vya dhahabu, uzitie katika hizo ncha mbili za kifuko cha kifuani, katika ukingo wake.
27 And you shall make the full-length tunic all of blue.
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.
28 And the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of the same piece that it might not be tore.
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.
29 And under the fringe of the robe below you shall make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these.
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.
30 A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.
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.
31 And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and has he goes out, that he die not.
Nawe fanya hiyo joho ya naivera ya rangi ya samawi yote.
32 And you shall make a plate [of] pure gold, and you shall grave on it [as] the graving of a signet, Holiness of the Lord.
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.
33 And you shall put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the mitre: it shall be in the front of the mitre.
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.
34 And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the sins of their holy things, all that the children of Israel shall sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord.
Kengele ya dhahabu na komamanga, kengele ya dhahabu na komamanga, katika pindo za joho kuizunguka pande zote.
35 And the fringes of the garments [shall be] of fine linen; and you shall make a tire of fine linen, and you shall make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.
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.
36 And for the sons of Aaron you shall make tunics and girdles, and you shall make for them tires for honour and glory.
Nawe fanya bamba la dhahabu safi na kuchora juu yake, mfano wa machoro ya muhuri, “Mtakatifu kwa Yahweh.”
37 And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, and you shall anoint them and fill their hands: and you shall sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
Nawe ulitie hilo bamba katika ukanda wa rangi ya samawi, nalo litakuwa katika kile kilemba; litakuwa upande wa mbele wa kile kilemba.
38 And you shall make for them linen drawers to cover the nakedness of their flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs.
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.
39 And Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest they die: [it is] a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him.
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.
Kisha utafany kanzu kwa ajili ya wana wa Aruni, nawe wafanyie mishipi, wafanyie na kofia kwa utukufu na uzuri.
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.
Nawe wafanyie suruali za nguo ya kitani, ili kufunika tupu ya miili yao; suruali hizo zitafika tangu kiunoni hata mapajani.
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.
