Êxodo 28

1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office: Aaron, with Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. 2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 You shall speak to all who 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 to me in the priest’s office. 4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a fitted tunic, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office. 5 They shall use the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman. 7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together. 8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave 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, in the order of their birth. 11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel. You shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold. 12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel. Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial. 13 You shall make settings of gold, 14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work. You shall put the braided chains on the settings.

15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it. 16 It shall be square and folded double; a span*28:16 A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.) shall be its length, and a span its width. 17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row; 18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire,*28:18 or, lapis lazuli and an emerald; 19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings. 21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes. 22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold. 23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart. 26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward. 27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. 28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod. 29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually. 30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he goes in before Yahweh. Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 It shall have a hole for the head in the middle of it. It shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn. 33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, all around its hem; with bells of gold between and around them: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe. 35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘HOLY TO YAHWEH.’ 37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash. It shall be on the front of the sash. 38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh. 39 You shall weave the tunic with fine linen. You shall make a turban of fine linen. You shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

40 "You shall make tunics for Aaron’s sons. You shall make sashes for them. You shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. 42 You shall make them linen pants to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the waist even to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place, that they don’t bear iniquity, and die. This shall be a statute forever to him and to his offspring after him.

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."
