Exodus 28
1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, [even] Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.
Namah loh Israel ca rhoek khui lamkah na maya Aaron neh a taengkah anih ca rhoek te namah taengah khueh laeh. Aaron amah neh Aaron ca rhoek Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar neh Ithamar tah kamah taengah khosoih saeh.
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
Na maya Aaron ham himbai cim te thangpomnah neh boeimangnah la khueh pah.
3 And thou shalt speak unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
Namah loh cueihnah mueihla ka cung sak tih lungbuei kah aka cueih boeih te thui pah. Te vaengah kai taengkah khosoih la aka ciim uh Aaron kah himbai te hui uh saeh.
4 And these [are] the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

6 And they shall make the ephod [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.

7 It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and [so] it shall be joined together.

8 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which [is] upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; [even of] gold, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
Te phoeiah oitha lung panit te lo lamtah a soah Israel ca ming tarhit pah.
10 Six of their names on one stone, and [the other] six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
A ming parhuk te lungto pakhat dongah ming parhuk vetih aka coih te lungto pabae dongah amamih kah rhuirhong bangla tarhit pah.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, [like] the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
Kutthai kutnaep, thingthuk lung kah kutbuen bangla lungto rhoi te tarhit. Te te Israel ca ming neh vael lamtah sui oibom dongah hol.
12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod [for] stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 And thou shalt make ouches [of] gold;
Te phoeiah sui oibom saii.
14 And two chains [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.

15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, and [of] fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, [even] four rows of stones: [the first] row [shall be] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: [this shall be] the first row.

21 And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, [like] the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
Lungto rhoek khaw Israel ca hlai nit ming la sum uh saeh. Kutbuen thingthuk dongkah a ming bangla hlang boeih he koca hlai nit dongah amah ming neh om uh saeh.
22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold.
Rhangpho soah cangtui-rhaica cuehnah te sui cilh rhuivaeh neh kutnaep la saii.
23 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Rhangpho dongkah sui kutcaeng panit saii lamtah rhangpho kah a hmoi rhoi ah kutcaeng nit la buen.
24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen [chains] of gold in the two rings [which are] on the ends of the breastplate.
Sui rhuivaeh rhoi te rhangpho hmoi kah kutcaeng rhoi dongla khih pah.
25 And [the other] two ends of the two wreathen [chains] thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put [them] on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.

26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which [is] in the side of the ephod inward.

27 And two [other] rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
Te phoeiah sui kutcaeng panit saii lamtah te te a hmai kah a dang, hnisui cihin sokah a rhui voeivang ah hnisui dongkah holhnam rhoi dongla khih pah.
28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that [it] may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
Rhangpho kah a kutcaeng lamloh hnisui kah kutcaeng duela a kutcaeng te pin saeh lamtah hnisui kah cihin duela hamnak thim neh om saeh. Te daengah ni hnisui dong lamkah rhangpho te khaw a hawl pawt eh.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy [place], for a memorial before the LORD continually.
Te dongah Aaron Israel ca ming te a lungbuei dongkah laitloeknah rhangpho dongah vah saeh lamtah hmuencim la a kun vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah poekkoepnah la om yoeyah saeh.
30 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
Laitloeknah rhangpho khuiah Urim neh Thummim khueh pah lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh la a kun vaengah Aaron kah lungbuei ah om. Te vaengah Aaron loh Israel ca kah laitloeknah te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a lungbuei ah phuei yoeyah saeh.
31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue.
Hnisui hnikul te a thim la boeih saii.
32 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
A hmoi a laklung ah a lu ham a rhai om saeh. A rhai kaepvai te rhawnmoep rhai a om bangla kutnaep la a yen neh om saeh. Te daengah ni a pawn pawt eh.
33 And [beneath] upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
A hnihmoi ah tale a thim, daidi neh hlampai a lingdik neh saii. A hmoi kaepvai te a laklo ah sui hling neh pin thalh saeh.
34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.

35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy [place] before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
Te te hamrhui thim dongah khih pah lamtah lupong dongah om saeh. Lupong hmai ah ah om saeh.
38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
Te vaengah Aaron tal ah om vetih cimcaihnah dongah a ciim Israel ca rhoek kathaesainah te amih kah cimcaihnah kutdoe boeih te Aaron loh phuei saeh. Te daengah ni amih ham khaw a tal dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah kolonah la phat a om eh.
39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre [of] fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle [of] needlework.

40 And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
Te te na maya Aaron neh a taengkah anih koca rhoek te bai sak lamtah amih te koelh. Amih kut te cung sak lamtah amih te ciim. Te phoeiah kai taengla khosoih uh saeh.
42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
Amih ham a yah saa aka dah la takhlawk hnii saii pah lamtah a chinghen lamloh a phai duela dah saeh.
43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy [place; ] that they bear not iniquity, and die: [it shall be] a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
