Exodus 28
1 Take unto thee also Aaron thy brother with his sons, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
“Muganda wo Alooni muyiteyo mu baana ba Isirayiri, awamu ne batabani be: Nadabu, ne Abiku, ne Eriyazaali, ne Isamaali, bajje bampeereze nga be bakabona.
2 And thou shalt make a holy vesture for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
Muganda wo Alooni mutungire ebyambalo ebitukuvu, nga bya kitiibwa era nga birabika bulungi.
3 And thou shalt speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s vestments, in which he being consecrated may minister to me.
Yogera n’abo bonna abasobola, be nawa ekirabo eky’amagezi mu mirimu egyo, bakolere Alooni ebyambalo mw’anaayawulirwa okubeera kabona wange.
4 And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
Bino bye byambalo bye banaakola: eky’omu kifuba, ekkanzu ey’obwakabona okutali mikono ennyimpi eyitibwa ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi; ng’ekoma mu ntumbwe; omunagiro; ekkooti erimu obusaze obw’obusimba n’obw’obukiika; ekitambaala; n’olukoba. Bakolere Alooni ne batabani be ebyambalo ebitukuvu balyoke bampeereze nga be bakabona.
5 And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen.
Abakozi baweebwe ewuzi eza zaabu, ne bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu omulange.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.
“Abakozi abakugu bakole ekkanzu ey’obwakabona ennyimpi etaliiko mikono n’ewuzi eza zaabu, ne bbululu, ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu omulange.
7 It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.
Ebeere n’eby’okubibegabega bibiri nga bitungiddwa w’ekoma, eryoke egattibwe bulungi.
8 The very workmanship also and all the variety of the work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
Omusipi gwayo mu kiwato gukolebwe n’amagezi mangi nga aganaakola ekkanzu ey’obwakabona, era n’ebinaakola bifaanagane, ng’ewuzi za zaabu, ne bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu alangiddwa.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
“Oddire amayinja ga onuku abiri, ogalambeko amannya ga batabani ba Isirayiri,
10 Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
amannya mukaaga ku jjinja erimu, n’amannya g’abasigaddewo omukaaga ku jjinja eryokubiri, ng’okuzaalibwa kwabwe bwe kugenda kuddiriragana.
11 With the work of an engraver and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:
Olambe amannya ga batabani ba Isirayiri ku mayinja ago abiri ng’omusazi w’amayinja bw’ayola akabonero ku jjinja; ogateeke mu fuleemu ogeetoolooze n’emikugiro egya zaabu.
12 And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.
Amayinja ago ojja gakwasiza ku by’okubibegabega eby’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, ng’amayinja ag’ekijjukizo ky’abaana ba Isirayiri. Alooni asitulenga amannya gaabwe awali Mukama ng’ekijjukizo.
13 Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.
Okole fuleemu eza zaabu,
14 And two little chains of the purest gold linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
n’enjegere bbiri eza zaabu omuka, ozirange ng’emiguwa; olyoke osibire enjegere ez’oku fuleemu.
15 And thou shalt make the rational of judgment with embroidered work of divers colours, according to the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
“Kola ekyomukifuba eky’okutereezanga ensonga, nga mulimu gwa kikugu ng’ogw’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, n’ewuzi eza zaabu, ne bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu omulange.
16 It shall be foursquare and doubled: it shall be the measure of a span both in length and in breadth.
Kijja kwenkanankana, buli ludda sentimita amakumi abiri mu bbiri, okiwetemu wakati.
17 And thou shalt set in it four rows of stones: in the first row shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald:
Otungireko ennyiriri nnya ez’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi. Mu lunyiriri olusooka osseemu amayinja saasiyo, ne topazi, ne kaabankulo;
18 In the second a carbuncle, a sapphire and a jasper.
ne mu lunyiriri olwokubiri osseemu emalada, ne safiro ne dayamandi;
19 In the third a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst:
ne mu lunyiriri olwokusatu osseemu jasinta; ne ageti, ne ametisita,
20 In the fourth a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
ne mu lunyiriri olwokuna osseemu berulo, ne onuku, ne yasipero, ogateeke mu fuleemu ya zaabu.
21 And they shall have the names of the children of Israel: with twelve names shall they be engraved, each stone with the name of one according to the twelve tribes.
Wabeerewo amayinja kkumi n’abiri, n’amannya gaago ng’amannya g’abatabani ba Isirayiri. Gasalibwe bulungi ng’obubonero obuwoolebwa, nga ku buli limu kulambiddwako erinnya lyako okumalirayo ddala amannya g’ebika ekkumi n’ebibiri.
22 And thou shalt make on the rational chains linked one to another of the purest gold:
“Ekyomukifuba kikolere enjegere ennange ng’emiguwa gya zaabu omuka.
23 And two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two ends at the top of the rational.
Era ekyomukifuba kikolere empeta za zaabu bbiri, oteeke empeta ezo zombi ku mikugiro ebiri egy’ekyomu kifuba.
24 And the golden chains thou shalt join to the rings, that are in the ends thereof:
Oyise enjegere ebbiri eza zaabu mu mpeta ebbiri eziri ku mikugiro gy’eky’omu kifuba.
25 And the ends of the chains themselves thou shalt join together with two hooks on both sides of the ephod, which is towards the rational.
Oddire enjuuyi ebbiri ezisigaddewo ez’enjegere ozikwasize ku fuleemu ebbiri, ozinywereze mu maaso g’eby’oku bibegabega byombi eby’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi.
26 Thou shalt make also two rings of gold which thou shalt put in the top parts of the rational, in the borders that are over against the ephod, and look towards the back parts thereof.
Era okole empeta bbiri eza zaabu, ozitunge ku mikugiro gy’eky’omu kifuba ku luuyi olw’omunda oluliraanye ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi.
27 Moreover also other two rings of gold, which are to be set on each side of the ephod beneath, that looketh towards the nether joining, that the rational may be fitted with the ephod,
Era okole empeta bbiri eza zaabu oziteeke mu maaso, mu bitundu ebya wansi eby’eby’okubibegabega byombi eby’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, wagguluko okumpi n’oluzizi lw’omusipi olw’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi.
28 And may be fastened by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a violet fillet, that the joining artificially wrought may continue, and the rational and the ephod may not be loosed one from the other.
Empeta ez’oku kyomukifuba zisibwe wamu n’empeta z’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi n’akaguwa aka bbululu, kagattibwe n’olukoba, olw’omu kifuba luleme kutaggulukuka ku kkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the rational of judgement upon his breast, when he shall enter into the sanctuary, a memorial before the Lord for ever.
“Buli kiseera Alooni lw’anaayingiranga mu Kifo Ekitukuvu, anaabanga ayambadde amannya ga batabani ba Isirayiri ku kyomukifuba eky’okumala ensonga, nga kiri ku mutima gwe, kibeerenga ekijjukizo awali Mukama.
30 And thou shalt put in the rational of judgment doctrine and truth, which shall be on Aaron’s breast, when he shall go in before the Lord: and he shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his breast, in the sight of the Lord always.
Mu ky’omu kifuba eky’okumala ensonga, onooteekamu Ulimu ne Sumimu, era binaabeeranga ku mutima gwa Alooni buli lw’anaayingiranga awali Mukama. Bw’atyo Alooni anaasitulanga ekkubo omuyitwa okumala ensonga z’abaana ba Isirayiri okumpi n’omutima gwe buli lw’anaagendanga awali Mukama.
31 And thou shalt make the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
“Onookola ekyambalo ekiri ng’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, nga kyonna kya bbululu.
32 In the midst whereof above shall be a hole for the head, and a border round about it woven, as is wont to be made in the outmost parts of garments, that it may not easily be broken.
Waggulu mu makkati gaakyo munaabaamu ekituli omw’okuyisa omutwe; okwetooloola ekituli ekyo kunaabaako omuge omuyonde obulungi ng’omuleera ku kituli ky’omutwe eky’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona, kireme okuyulika.
33 And beneath at the feet of the same tunick round about, thou shalt make as it were pomegranates, of violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with little bells set between:
Okwetooloola ebirenge wansi onootungayo amajjolobera mu wuzi eza bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu; nga mu makkati ga buli langi eziriraanye otobekamu obude obwa zaabu.
34 So that there shall be a golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
Ng’otunga amajjolobera n’ozzaako akade, ate n’oddiriza amajjolobera n’ozzaako akade; bw’otyo okwetooloola ebirenge by’ekyambalo ekyo.
35 And Aaron shall be vested with it in the office of his ministry, that the sound may be heard, when he goeth in and cometh out of the sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and that he may not die.
Gunaabanga mulimu gwa Alooni okwambala ekyambalo ekyo ng’agenda okuweereza. Obude obwo bunaawulirwanga ng’ayingira mu Kifo Ekitukuvu awali Mukama, ne bw’anaabanga afuluma, aleme okufa.
36 Thou shalt make also a plate of the purest gold: wherein thou shalt grave with engraver’s work, Holy to the Lord.
“Onookola akapande aka zaabu omuka ennyo, okayoleko, nga bwe bayola akabonero, nti, Mutukuvu wa Mukama.
37 And thou shalt tie it with a violet fillet, and it shall be upon the mitre,
Akapande okasibeko akaguwa aka bbululu, okanywereze ku kitambaala ky’oku mutwe ku ludda olw’omu maaso olw’ekitambaala.
38 Hanging over the forehead of the high priest. And Aaron shall bear the iniquities of those things, which the children of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and offerings. And the plate shall be always on his forehead, that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
Akapande ako kanaabeeranga mu kyenyi kya Alooni, era Alooni y’anaabangako obuvunaanyizibwa nga wabaddewo ebitatuuse mu biweebwayo ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga nga bamaze okubyawula ng’ebirabo byabwe ebitukuvu; kanaabeeranga ku kyenyi kye bulijjo, Mukama alyoke akkirize ebirabo ebyo.
39 And thou shalt gird the tunick with fine linen, and thou shalt make a fine linen mitre, and a girdle of embroidered work.
“Luka ekkooti erimu obusaze obw’obusimba n’obw’obukiika mu wuzi eza linena omulebevu, era okole n’ekitambaala eky’oku mutwe mu linena omulebevu, era okole olukoba ng’olutunzeemu amajjolobera.
40 Moreover for the sons of Aaron thou shalt prepare linen tunicks, and girdles and mitres for glory and beauty:
Batabani ba Alooni bakolere amakooti, n’emisipi, n’enkuufiira; nga byonna bya kitiibwa era nga birabika bulungi nnyo.
41 And with all these things thou shalt vest Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him. And thou shalt consecrate the hands of them all, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
Alooni muganda wo mwambaze ebyambalo ebyo, ne batabani be nabo bw’otyo; olyoke obafukeko amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni, obaawule, obatukuze, bampeerezenga nga be bakabona.
42 Thou shalt make also linen breeches, to cover the flesh of their nakedness from the reins to the thighs:
“Bakolere empale ez’omunda eza linena, nga ziva mu kiwato okukoma mu bisambi, zibikke omubiri gwabwe.
43 And Aaron and his sons shall use them when they shall go in to the tabernacle of the testimony, or when they approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary, lest being guilty of iniquity they die. It shall be a law for ever to Aaron, and to his seed after him.
Alooni ne batabani be banaazambalanga nga bajja mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu oba bwe banaasembereranga Ekyoto okuweereza mu Kifo Ekitukuvu, baleme okwereetako omusango ne bafa. “Alooni ne batabani be ne bazzukulu be abalimuddirira banaakuumanga etteeka lino nga lya nkalakkalira.”
