Êxodo 28

Ngā Kākahu mō ngā Tohunga

1 "Tangohia mai anō ki a koe a Ārona, tōu tuakana, rātou ko āna tama i roto i ngā tama a Īharaira, hei tohunga māku, a Ārona rātou ko Nātapa, ko Apihu, ko Ereātara, ko Itamara, ngā tama a Ārona. 2 Me hanga anō e koe ētahi kākahu tapu mō Ārona, mō tōu tuakana, hei korōria, hei ātaahua. 3 Me kōrero anō e koe ki ngā ngākau mōhio katoa, ki āku i whakakī ai ki te wairua mōhio, kia hangā e rātou ngā kākahu mō Ārona, mō tōna whakatapunga, mō tāna mahi tohunga ki ahau. 4 Ā, ko ngā kākahu ēnei e hangā e rātou; he kōuma, he epora, he koroka, he koti whakairo, he pōtae tohunga, he whītiki. Nā, me hanga ētahi kākahu tapu mō Ārona, mō tōu tuakana, rātou ko āna tama, mō tāna mahi tohunga ki ahau. 5 Me tango hoki he kōura, he purū, he pāpura, he ngangana, he rīnena pai."

Te Epora

6 "Ā, ka hangā te epora ki te kōura, ki te purū, ki te pāpura, ki te ngangana, ki te rīnena miro pai; kia tohunga rawa te mahi. 7 Kia rua ngā wāhi i ngā pokohiwi, he mea hono ki a rāua i ngā pito e rua; kia kotahi ai. 8 Ā, ko te whītiki whakairo o te epora, kia kotahi anō te mea e hangā ai rāua, kia rite hoki tō rāua hanganga; he mea kōura, purū, pāpura, ngangana, rīnena miro pai.

9 "Me tango anō e koe ngā kōhatu onika e rua, ka tuhi ai i ngā ingoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki aua mea; 10 kia ono ngā ingoa o rātou ki tētahi kōhatu, me ērā ingoa atu hoki e ono ki tētahi atu kōhatu; kia rite ki ō rātou whānautanga. 11 Hei te mahi a te kaituhi kōhatu tāu tuhi i ngā ingoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki ngā kōhatu e rua, kia rite ki te tuhinga o te hīri; me mea e koe kia whakanohoia aua mea ki ngā nohoanga kōura. 12 Ā, me whakanoho e koe ngā kōhatu e rua ki ngā pokohiwi o te epora, hei kōhatu whakamahara mō ngā tama a Īharaira; ā, ka mau ō rātou ingoa ki runga ki ngā pokohiwi e rua o Ārona i te aroaro o Ihowā, hei whakamahara. 13 Me hanga anō e koe ngā nohoanga kōhatu ki te kōura; 14 me ngā mekameka kōura parakore e rua; me whiri tāu mahinga i aua mea, ka whakaū ai i ngā mekameka whiri ki ngā nohoanga."

Te Kōuma

15 "Kia tohunga rawa te hanga o te kōuma whakawā, kia rite tāu mahinga ki te mahinga o te epora; me hanga e koe taua mea ki te kōura, ki te purū, ki te pāpura, ki te ngangana, ki te rīnena miro pai. 16 Kia whā ōna taha, me rererua; kia kotahi whanganga a te ringa tōna roa, kia kotahi whanganga hoki a te ringa tōna whānui. 17 Me whakanoho anō ki taua mea ētahi nohoanga kōhatu; kia whā ngā rārangi kōhatu. Mō te rārangi tuatahi he harariu, he tōpaha, he kapakara; ko te rārangi tuatahi tēnei. 18 Mā te rārangi tuarua he emerara, he hapaira, he taimana. 19 Mō te rārangi tuatoru he rikuri, he akete, he ametihita. 20 Mō te rārangi tuawhā he perira, he onika, he hahapa; me whakanoho ki te kōura ki te wāhi e mau ai. 21 Nā, ka tekau mā rua ngā kōhatu me ngā ingoa o ngā tama a Īharaira; ko te maha kei ō rātou ingoa; ko te tuhi hei o te hīri, tēnei tangata me tōna ingoa, tēnei tangata me tōna ingoa, rite tonu ki ngā iwi kotahi tekau mā rua.

22 "Me hanga anō e koe ki te kōura parakore ētahi mekameka, he mahi whiri, mō te kōuma, mō ngā pito. 23 Me hanga anō e koe ētahi mōwhiti kōura kia rua mō te kōuma, ka whakanoho ai i ngā mōwhiti e rua ki ngā pito e rua o te kōuma. 24 Me whakaū anō ngā mekameka kōura, ngā mea whiri, ki ngā mōwhiti e rua i ngā pito o te kōuma. 25 Ko ērā pito e rua hoki o ngā mekameka whiri e rua, me whakaū e koe ki ngā nohoanga kōhatu e rua, ka whakanoho ai ki ngā pokohiwi o te epora, ki te taha ki mua. 26 Me hanga anō ētahi mōwhiti kōura kia rua, ka whakanoho ai ki ngā pito e rua o te kōuma ki tōna remu, ki te taha ki roto whaka te epora. 27 Me hanga anō hoki e koe ētahi atu mōwhiti kōura kia rua, ka whakanoho ai ki ngā pokohiwi e rua o te epora ki te taha ki raro, ki te taha ki mua, ki te ritenga mai anō o tōna hononga, ki runga ake o te whītiki whakairo o te epora. 28 Me here anō e rātou te kōuma, ko ōna mōwhiti ki ngā mōwhiti o te epora, ki ētahi miro purū, kia mau ai ki runga ake o te whītiki whakairo o te epora, kei takoto kē hoki te kōuma i te epora.

29 "Ā, ka mau ngā ingoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki te ngākau o Ārona, arā ki te kōuma o te whakawā, ina haere ia ki te wāhi tapu, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o Ihowā i ngā rā katoa. 30 Me whakanoho anō hoki e koe ngā Urimi me ngā Tumime ki te kōuma whakawā; ā, hei te ngākau o Ārona aua mea, ina haere ki te aroaro o Ihowā; ā, ka mau tonu ki te ngākau o Ārona te whakawā o ngā tama a Īharaira i te aroaro o Ihowā."

Ētahi atu Kākahu mō ngā Tohunga

31 "Me hanga anō e koe te koroka o te epora, hei te purū anake. 32 Me whakakōhao a runga, i waenganui; me whakawhaiwhiri anō ki te mea whatu tōna kōhao ā huri noa, kia rite ki te kōhao o te pukupuku, kei pakaru. 33 Ā, i te remu i raro me hanga e koe ētahi pamekaranete ki te mea purū, pāpura, ngangana, hei te remu ā huri noa; me ētahi pere kōura ki ngā takiwā o aua mea ā huri noa, 34 he pere kōura he pamekaranete, he pere kōura he pamekaranete, ki te remu o te koroka ā huri noa. 35 Ā, me kākahu taua mea e Ārona ina minita; ā, ka rangona tōna tangi ina haere ki roto, ki te wāhi tapu, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ina puta mai hoki ki waho kei mate ia.

36 "Me hanga anō e koe tētahi pāraharaha ki te kōura parakore, tuhia iho, he tuhi hīri anō: HE TAPU KI A IHOWĀ. 37 Ā, me whakanoho e koe ki te tau purū, kia mau ai ki te pōtae tohunga; hei te taha ki mua o te pōtae. 38 Ā, ka mau tēnā ki te rae o Ārona, kia mauria ai e Ārona te kino o ngā mea tapu e whakatapua e ngā tama a Īharaira i ā rātou hoatutanga tapu katoa; ā, ka mau tonu tēnā ki tōna rae, kia manakohia ai rātou i te aroaro o Ihowā.

39 "Ā, me whakairo e koe ki te mūmū te koti rīnena pai, me hanga anō te pōtae tohunga ki te rīnena pai; hei te mea i hangā ki te ngira te mea e hangā ai e koe te whītiki.

40 "Me hanga anō ētahi koti mō ngā tama a Ārona, me hanga anō ētahi whītiki mō rātou, me hanga hoki ētahi pōtae mō rātou, hei korōria, hei ātaahua. 41 Ka whakakākahu atu ai ki a Ārona, ki tōu tuakana, rātou ko āna tama; nā, ka whakawahi koe i a rātou, ka whakatohunga hoki i a rātou, ka whakatapu hoki i a rātou, kia mahi, tohunga ai ki ahau.

42 "Me hanga anō ētahi tarau rīnena mō rātou, hei kākahu mō ngā wāhi takoto tahanga o rātou; mō te hope ā tae noa ki ngā hūhā; 43 ā, hei kākahu ēnā mō Ārona, mō āna tama, ina haere ki roto ki te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ina whakatata rānei ki te āta, ki te minita i roto i te wāhi tapu; kei whai hara, ā, ka mate.

"Hei tikanga pūmau tēnei mōna, mō ōna uri hoki i muri i a ia."

1 And bring thou near 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. 2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, 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. 5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman. 7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends thereof, that it may be joined together. 8 And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall be like the work thereof and of the same piece; 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: 10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth. 11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be inclosed in settings of gold. 12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial. 13 And thou shalt make settings of gold, 14 and two chains of pure gold; like cords shalt thou make them, of wreathen work: and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the settings.

15 And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it. 16 Foursquare it shall be and double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof. 17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row; 18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings. 21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes. 22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold. 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. 24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart thereof. 26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward. 27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod. 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 upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod. 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 Jehovah continually. 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 Jehovah: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.

31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent. 33 And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about. 35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. 37 And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. 38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall 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 Jehovah. 39 And thou shalt weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.

40 And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon 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. 42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach: 43 and they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, 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 unto his seed after him.
