1Applica quoque ad te Aaron fratrem tuum cum filiis suis de medio filiorum Israël, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi: Aaron, Nadab, et Abiu, Eleazar, et Ithamar.
1“Next, have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to serve Me as priests.
2Faciesque vestem sanctam Aaron fratri tuo in gloriam et decorem.
2Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.
3Et loqueris cunctis sapientibus corde quos replevi spiritu prudentiæ, ut faciant vestes Aaron, in quibus sanctificatus ministret mihi.
3You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.
4Hæc autem erunt vestimenta quæ faciet: rationale et superhumerale, tunicam et lineam strictam, cidarim et balteum. Facient vestimenta sancta fratri tuo Aaron et filiis ejus, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
4These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests.
5Accipientque aurum, et hyacinthum, et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum.
5They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
6Facient autem superhumerale de auro et hyacintho et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere polymito.
6They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
7Duas oras junctas habebit in utroque latere summitatum, ut in unum redeant.
7It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
8Ipsa quoque textura et cuncta operis varietas erit ex auro et hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta.
8And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
9Sumesque duos lapides onychinos, et sculpes in eis nomina filiorum Israël:
9Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
10sex nomina in lapide uno, et sex reliqua in altero, juxta ordinem nativitatis eorum.
10six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.
11Opere sculptoris et cælatura gemmarii, sculpes eos nominibus filiorum Israël, inclusos auro atque circumdatos:
11Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings.
12et pones in utroque latere superhumeralis, memoriale filiis Israël. Portabitque Aaron nomina eorum coram Domino super utrumque humerum, ob recordationem.
12Fasten both stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.
13Facies et uncinos ex auro,
13Fashion gold filigree settings
14et duas catenulas ex auro purissimo sibi invicem cohærentes, quas inseres uncinis.
14and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.
15Rationale quoque judicii facies opere polymito juxta texturam superhumeralis, ex auro, hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta.
15You are also to make a breastpiece of judgment with the same workmanship as the ephod. Construct it with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
16Quadrangulum erit et duplex: mensuram palmi habebit tam in longitudine quam in latitudine.
16It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
17Ponesque in eo quatuor ordines lapidum: in primo versu erit lapis sardius, et topazius, et smaragdus:
17And mount on it a setting of gemstones, four rows of stones: In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
18in secundo carbunculus, sapphirus, et jaspis:
18in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19in tertio ligurius, achates, et amethystus:
19in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20in quarto chrysolithus, onychinus, et beryllus. Inclusi auro erunt per ordines suos.
20and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
21Habebuntque nomina filiorum Israël: duodecim nominibus cælabuntur, singuli lapides nominibus singulorum per duodecim tribus.
21The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
22Facies in rationali catenas sibi invicem cohærentes ex auro purissimo,
22For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
23et duos annulos aureos, quos pones in utraque rationalis summitate:
23You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.
24catenasque aureas junges annulis, qui sunt in marginibus ejus,
24Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
25et ipsarum catenarum extrema duobus copulabis uncinis in utroque latere superhumeralis quod rationale respicit.
25and fasten the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
26Facies et duos annulos aureos, quos pones in summitatibus rationalis, in oris, quæ e regione sunt superhumeralis, et posteriora ejus aspiciunt.
26Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
27Necnon et alios duos annulos aureos, qui ponendi sunt in utroque latere superhumeralis deorsum, quod respicit contra faciem juncturæ inferioris, ut aptari possit cum superhumerali,
27Make two additional gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near its seam just above its woven waistband.
28et stringatur rationale annulis suis cum annulis superhumeralis vitta hyacinthina, ut maneat junctura fabrefacta, et a se invicem rationale et superhumerale nequeant separari.
28The rings of the breastpiece shall be tied to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece is above the waistband of the ephod and does not swing out from the ephod.
29Portabitque Aaron nomina filiorum Israël in rationali judicii super pectus suum, quando ingredietur Sanctuarium, memoriale coram Domino in æternum.
29Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he shall bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of judgment, as a continual reminder before the LORD.
30Pones autem in rationali judicii Doctrinam et Veritatem, quæ erunt in pectore Aaron, quando ingredietur coram Domino: et gestabit judicium filiorum Israël in pectore suo, in conspectu Domini semper.
30And place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD.
31Facies et tunicam superhumeralis totam hyacinthinam,
31You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
32in cujus medio supra erit capitium, et ora per gyrum ejus textilis, sicut fieri solet in extremis vestium partibus, ne facile rumpatur.
32with an opening at its top in the center. Around the opening shall be a woven collar with an opening like that of a garment, so that it will not tear.
33Deorsum vero, ad pedes ejusdem tunicæ, per circuitum, quasi mala punica facies, ex hyacintho, et purpura, et cocco bis tincto, mistis in medio tintinnabulis,
33Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,
34ita ut tintinnabulum sit aureum et malum punicum: rursumque tintinnabulum aliud aureum et malum punicum.
34alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.
35Et vestietur ea Aaron in officio ministerii, ut audiatur sonitus quando ingreditur et egreditur sanctuarium in conspectu Domini, et non moriatur.
35Aaron must wear the robe whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters or exits the sanctuary before the LORD, so that he will not die.
36Facies et laminam de auro purissimo, in qua sculpes opere cælatoris, Sanctum Domino.
36You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
37Ligabisque eam vitta hyacinthina, et erit super tiaram,
37Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
38imminens fronti pontificis. Portabitque Aaron iniquitates eorum, quæ obtulerunt et sanctificaverunt filii Israël, in cunctis muneribus et donariis suis. Erit autem lamina semper in fronte ejus, ut placatus sit eis Dominus.
38And it will be worn on Aaron’s forehead, so that he may bear the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate with regard to all their holy gifts. It shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be acceptable before the LORD.
39Stringesque tunicam bysso, et tiaram byssinam facies, et balteum opere plumarii.
39You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.
40Porro filiis Aaron tunicas lineas parabis et balteos ac tiaras in gloriam et decorem:
40Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.
41vestiesque his omnibus Aaron fratrem tuum et filios ejus cum eo. Et cunctorum consecrabis manus, sanctificabisque illos, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
41After you put these garments on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint them, ordain them, and consecrate them so that they may serve Me as priests.
42Facies et feminalia linea, ut operiant carnem turpitudinis suæ, a renibus usque ad femora:
42Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.
43et utentur eis Aaron et filii ejus quando ingredientur tabernaculum testimonii, vel quando appropinquant ad altare ut ministrent in sanctuario, ne iniquitatis rei moriantur. Legitimum sempiternum erit Aaron, et semini ejus post eum.
43Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants.
