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.
Applica quoque ad te Aaron fratrem tuum cum filiis suis de medio filiorum Israel, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi: Aaron, Nadab, et Abiu, Eleazar, et Ithamar.
2 And you shall make holy apparel for Aaron your brother, for honor and glory.
Faciesque vestem sanctam Aaron fratri tuo in gloriam et decorem.
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.
Et loqueris cunctis sapientibus corde, quos replevi spiritu prudentiae, ut faciant vestes Aaron, in quibus sanctificatus ministret mihi.
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.
Haec autem erunt vestimenta quae faciet: Rationale, et superhumerale, tunicam et lineam strictam, cidarim et balteum. Facient vestimenta sancta fratri tuo Aaron et filiis eius, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Accipientque aurum, et hyacinthum, et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum.
6 And they shall make the shoulder-piece of fine linen spun, the woven work of the embroiderer.
Facient autem superhumerale de auro et hyacintho et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere polymito.
7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined together, fastened on the two sides.
Duas oras iunctas habebit in utroque latere summitatum, ut in unum redeant.
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.
Ipsa quoque textura et cuncta operis varietas erit ex auro et hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta.
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.
Sumesque duos lapides onychinos, et sculpes in eis nomina filiorum Israel:
10 Six names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second stone, according to their births.
sex nomina in lapide uno, et sex reliqua in altero, iuxta ordinem nativitatis eorum.
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.
Opere sculptoris et caelatura gemmarii, sculpes eos nominibus filiorum Israel, inclusos auro atque circumdatos:
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.
et pones in utroque latere superhumeralis, memoriale filiis Israel. Portabitque Aaron nomina eorum coram Domino super utrumque humerum, ob recordationem.
13 And you shall make circlets of pure gold;
Facies et uncinos ex auro,
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.
et duas catenulas auri purissimi sibi invicem cohaerentes, quas inseres uncinis.
15 And you shall make the oracle of judgment, 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.
Rationale quoque iudicii facies opere polymito iuxta texturam superhumeralis ex auro, hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta.
16 You shall make it square: it shall be double; of a span the length of it, and of a span the breadth.
Quadrangulum erit et duplex: mensuram palmi habebit tam in longitudine quam in latitudine.
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.
Ponesque in eo quattuor ordines lapidum: in primo versu erit lapis sardius, et topazius, et smaragdus:
18 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
in secundo carbunculus, sapphirus, et iaspis:
19 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, an amethyst:
in tertio ligurius, achates, et amethystus:
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.
in quarto chrysolithus, onychinus, et beryllus. inclusi auro erunt per ordines suos.
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.
Habebuntque nomina filiorum Israel: duodecim nominibus caelabuntur, singuli lapides nominibus singulorum per duodecim tribus.
22 And you shall make on the oracle woven fringes, a chain-work of pure gold.
Facies in rationali catenas sibi invicem cohaerentes ex auro purissimo:
23 And Aaron shall take the names of the children of Israel, on the oracle of judgment on his breast; a memorial before God for him as he goes into the sanctuary.
et duos annulos aureos, quos pones in utraque rationalis summitate:
24 And you shall put the fringes on the oracle of judgment; you shall put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle,
catenasque aureas iunges annulis, qui sunt in marginibus eius:
25 and you shall put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front.
et ipsarum catenarum extrema duobus copulabis uncinis in utroque latere superhumeralis quod rationale respicit.
26 And you shall put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of judgment; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord; and Aaron shall bear the judgments of the children of Israel on his breast before the Lord continually.
Facies et duos annulos aureos, quos pones in summitatibus rationalis, in oris, quae e regione sunt superhumeralis, et posteriora eius aspiciunt.
27 And you shall make the full-length tunic all of blue.
Nec non et alios duos annulos aureos, qui ponendi sunt in utroque latere superhumeralis deorsum, quod respicit contra faciem iuncturae inferioris, ut aptari possit cum superhumerali,
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.
et stringatur rationale annulis suis cum annulis superhumeralis vitta hyacinthina, ut maneat iunctura fabrefacta, et a seinvicem rationale et superhumerale nequeant separari.
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.
Portabitque Aaron nomina filiorum Israel in rationali iudicii super pectus suum, quando ingredietur Sanctuarium, memoriale coram Domino in aeternum.
30 A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about.
Pones autem in rationali iudicii Doctrinam et Veritatem, quae erunt in pectore Aaron, quando ingredietur coram Domino: et gestabit iudicium filiorum Israel in pectore suo, in conspectu Domini semper.
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.
Facies et tunicam superhumeralis totam hyacinthinam,
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.
in cuius medio supra erit capitium, et ora per gyrum eius textilis, sicut fieri solet in extremis vestium partibus, ne facile rumpatur.
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.
Deorsum vero, ad pedes eiusdem tunicae, per circuitum, quasi mala punica facies, ex hyacintho, et purpura, et cocco bis tincto, mistis in medio tintinnabulis,
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.
ita ut tintinnabulum sit aureum et malum punicum: rursumque tintinnabulum aliud aureum et malum punicum.
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.
Et vestietur ea Aaron in officio ministerii, ut audiatur sonitus quando ingreditur et egreditur Sanctuarium in conspectu Domini, et non moriatur.
36 And for the sons of Aaron you shall make tunics and girdles, and you shall make for them tires for honor and glory.
Facies et laminam de auro purissimo: in qua sculpes opere caelatoris, Sanctum Domino.
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.
Ligabisque eam vitta hyacinthina, et erit super tiaram,
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.
imminens fronti pontificis. Portabitque Aaron iniquitates eorum, quae obtulerunt et sanctificaverunt filii Israel, in cunctis muneribus et donariis suis. Erit autem lamina semper in fronte eius, ut placatus sit ei Dominus.
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.
Stringesque tunicam bysso, et tiaram byssinam facies, et balteum opere plumarii.
Porro filiis Aaron tunicas lineas parabis et balteos ac tiaras in gloriam et decorem:
vestiesque his omnibus Aaron fratrem tuum et filios eius cum eo. Et cunctorum consecrabis manus, sanctificabisque illos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
Facies et feminalia linea, ut operiant carnem turpitudinis suae, a renibus usque ad femora:
et utentur eis Aaron et filii eius quando ingredientur tabernaculum testimonii, vel quando appropinquant ad altare ut ministrent in sanctuario, ne iniquitatis rei moriantur. Legitimum sempiternum erit Aaron, et semini eius post eum.
