Exodus 28

1 'And thou, bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to Me, [even] Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron;

“Pea te ke ʻomi kiate Ko e ho taʻokete ko ʻElone, mo hono ngaahi foha mo ia, mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ngāue ia kiate au ʻi he ngāue ʻae taulaʻeiki, ʻio, ʻa ʻElone, mo Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone.

2 and thou hast made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for honour and for beauty;

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu tapu ki ho taʻokete ko ʻElone ke fakaʻeiʻeiki mo matamatalelei.

3 and thou — thou dost speak unto all the wise of heart, whom I have filled [with] a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest to Me.

Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto poto, ʻaia kuo u fakafonu ʻaki ʻae laumālie poto, koeʻuhi ke nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu ʻo ʻElone, ke fakatapui ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

4 'And these [are] the garments which they make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; yea, they have made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.

Pea ko e ngaahi kofu ʻeni te nau ngaohi; ko e sīfafatafata, mo e ʻefoti, mo e kofu fakatōtōlofa mo e kofu kuo fakanikonikoʻi, mo e tatā, mo e noʻo: pea te nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu tapu kia ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, mo hono ngaahi foha, koeʻuhi ke ngāue ia kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

5 'And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen,

“Pea te nau toʻo ʻae koula mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale.

6 and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer;

Pea te nau ngaohi ʻae ʻefoti ʻaki ʻae koula, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale, ʻi he ngāue fakapotopoto.

7 it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.

Ko hono potu ʻe ua ʻi he uma ʻe fakahoko fakataha ʻi hono kapa; pea ʻe hoko ʻo fakataha ia.

8 'And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

Pea ko e noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻe ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia, ʻo fakatatau ki hono ngaohi: ʻio, ʻae koula, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale.

9 'And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened on them the names of the sons of Israel;

Pea te ke toʻo ʻae maka ʻoniki ʻe ua, ʻo tohi tongi ki ai ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;

Ke ʻi he maka ʻe taha ʻae hingoa ʻe ono, mo e hingoa ʻe ono ke ʻi he maka ʻe taha, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau hohoko.

11 the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel; turned round, embroidered [with] gold, thou dost make them.

Te ke tongitongi ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ongo maka, ʻaki ʻae ngāue ʻae tufunga tongi maka, pea hangē ko e tongitongi ʻoe mama; te ke ngaohi ia ke maʻu ʻi he ʻaiʻanga koula.

12 'And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod — stones of memorial to the sons of Israel — and Aaron hath borne their names before Jehovah, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.

Pea te ke ʻai ʻae maka ʻe ua ki he uma ʻoe ʻefoti ko e ongo maka fakamanatu ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea ʻe fua honau hingoa ʻe ʻElone ʻi hono uma ʻe ua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e meʻa fakamanatu.

13 'And thou hast made embroidered things of gold,

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ongo fakamaʻu koula;

14 and two chains of pure gold, wreathed work thou dost make them, work of thick bands, and thou hast put the thick chains on the embroidered things.

Mo e seini koula haohaoa ʻe ua ʻi hono mui ʻe ua; te ke ngaohi ia ʻi he ngāue fihifihi, pea fakamaʻu ʻae ongo seini fihifihi ki he ongo fakamaʻu.

15 'And thou hast made a breastplate of judgment, work of a designer; according to the work of the ephod thou dost make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen thou dost make it;

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae sīfafatafata ʻoe fakamaʻu ʻi he ngāue fakapotopoto; te ke ngaohi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻae ʻefoti: ʻi he koula, mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale te ke ngaohi ʻaki ia.

16 it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.

‌ʻE tatau pe hono potu ʻe fā ʻoka pelu ua; ko e hanga pe taha hono lōloa ʻo ia, mo e hanga pe taha hono māukupu ʻo ia.

17 'And thou hast set in it settings of stone, four rows of stone; a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first row;

Pea te ke fakamaʻu ki ai ke fono ʻi ai ʻae ʻotu maka ʻe fā: ko hono ʻuluaki ʻotu ko e satio, mo e topasi, mo e kapukeli: ko hono ʻuluaki ʻotu ia.

18 and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond;

Ko hono ua ʻoe ʻotu ko e ʻemalata, mo e safaia, mo e taiamoni.

19 and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst;

Pea ko hono tolu ʻoe ʻotu ko e likua, mo e ʻaketi, mo e ʻametisi.

20 and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper; embroidered with gold are they in their settings,

Pea ko hono fā ʻoe ʻotu, ko e pelili, mo e ʻoniki, mo e sasipa: ʻe ʻai ʻaki ia ʻae koula ki honau ngaahi tuʻunga.

21 and the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet, each by his name are they for the twelve tribes.

Pea ʻe ʻi he maka ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakatatau ki honau hingoa, ʻo hangē ko e tongitongi ʻoe mama: ʻe tuʻutaki taha mo hono hingoa ʻo fakatatau mo honau faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua.

22 'And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold;

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata ʻae seini ʻoe koula haohaoa ʻoe ngāue fihifihi.

23 and thou hast made on the breastplate two rings of gold, and hast put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻi he sīfafatafata ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, pea ke ʻai ʻae kavei ʻe ua ki he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata.

24 and thou hast put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate;

Pea te ke ʻai ʻae seini koula fihifihi ʻe ua ʻi he kavei ʻe ua ʻoku ʻi he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata.

25 and the two ends of the two thick bands thou dost put on the two embroidered things, and thou hast put [them] on the shoulders of the ephod over-against its face.

Pea ko hono potu kehe ʻe ua ʻoe seini fihifihi te ke fakamaʻu ki he fakamaʻu, ʻo tuku ia ki he potu ʻe ua ʻoe uma ʻi he ʻefoti ʻi hono ʻao.

26 'And thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] over-against the ephod within;

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, pea ʻai ia ki he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata ʻi hono kapa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻoe ʻefoti ki loto,

27 and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, beneath, over-against its front, over-against its joining, above the girdle of the ephod,

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae kavei koula ʻe ua, ʻo ʻai ia ki he potu ʻe ua ʻoe ʻefoti ʻi lalo, ʻo ofi ki hono potu ki ʻao, ʻo hangatonu atu ki he fakamaʻu ʻe taha, ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti.

28 and they bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.

Pea te nau nonoʻo ʻae sīfafatafata ʻaki ʻa hono ngaahi kavei ki he kavei ʻe ua ʻoe ʻefoti, ʻaki ʻae noʻo lanumoana, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ʻolunga ia ʻi he noʻo fakanikonikoʻi ʻoe ʻefoti, pea koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa vete ʻae sīfafatafata mei he ʻefoti.

29 'And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going in unto the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

Pea ʻe fua ʻe ʻElone ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he sīfafatafata ʻoe fakamaʻu ʻi hono loto, ʻoka ʻalu ia ki he potu māʻoniʻoni, ko e fakamanatu maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

30 'And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

Pea te ke ʻai ʻi he sīfafatafata ʻoe fakamaau, ʻae ʻUlimi mo e Tumemi: pea te na ʻi he loto ʻo ʻElone, ʻi heʻene hū ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe fua maʻuaipē ʻe ʻElone ʻi hono loto ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae fakamaauʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

31 'And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,

“Pea te ke ngaohi ke ʻosi ʻae kofu ʻoe ʻefoti ʻaki ʻae lanumoana.

32 and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent.

Pea ʻe ʻai hono ava ʻi ʻolunga ki loto pea ʻe ʻai ʻae tākai ki he ava ʻoe meʻa kuo fi, ʻo hangē ko e ava ʻoe kofutuʻa, telia naʻa mahae ia.

33 'And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about;

Pea ʻi hono kapa ki lalo ke ke ngaohi hono teunga ke hangē ko e fuaʻi ʻakau, ʻoe lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, ke tuʻu takatakai ʻi hono kapa; mo e ngaahi fafangu koula ʻi honau vahaʻa ʻo takatakai.

34 a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe round about.

Ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ʻi he kapa ʻoe kofu ʻo takatakai.

35 'And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die.

Pea ʻe ʻai ia kia ʻElone ke fai ʻae tauhi: pea ʻe ongona hono kini ʻoka hū atu ia ki he potu māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi heʻene haʻu kituʻa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia.

36 'And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it — openings of a signet — 'Holy to Jehovah;'

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae pale ʻoe koula haohaoa, pea tohi tongi ki ai, ʻo hangē ko e tongi ʻoe mama, KO E MĀʻONIʻONI KIA SIHOVA.

37 and thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on the mitre — over-against the front of the mitre it is;

Pea ʻe ʻai ia ki he noʻo lanumoana, koeʻuhi ke ʻi he tatā ia; ʻe ʻai ia ki he muʻa tatā.

38 and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah.

Pea ʻe ʻi he laʻē ia ʻo ʻElone, koeʻuhi ke fua ʻe ʻElone ʻae hia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku fakatapui ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē; pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ia ki hono laʻē, koeʻuhi ke lelei ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

39 'And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make — work of an embroiderer.

“Pea te ke ʻai ʻae tuitui ki he kofu ʻoe tupenu tuʻovalevale, mo ke ngaohi ʻae tatā ʻaki ʻae tupenu tuʻovalevale, pea ke ngaohi hono noʻo ʻaki ʻae ngāue ʻoe tuitui.

40 'And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honour and for beauty;

“Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu maʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, pea ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi noʻo moʻonautolu, mo ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tatā moʻonautolu, ke fakaʻeiʻeiki pea ke matamatalelei.

41 and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.

Pea ke ʻai ia kia ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, pea ki hono ngaahi foha mo ia; pea te ke tākai ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakanofo ʻakinautolu, pea fakatapui ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ngāue kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

42 'And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs;

Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu vaʻe moʻonautolu ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau telefua: te nau hifo mei he noʻotangavala ki he ʻateʻivaʻe:

43 and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him, and to his seed after him.

Pea ʻe ʻai ia kia ʻElone, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻoka nau ka haʻu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pe ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga, ke tauhi ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni; telia naʻa nau fai hala, pea mate ai; ko e fekau tuʻumaʻu ʻeni kiate ia, pea ki hono hako ʻamui ʻiate ia.
