1“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.
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.
2Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu tapu ki ho taʻokete ko ʻElone ke fakaʻeiʻeiki mo matamatalelei.
2Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.
3Pea 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.
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.
4Pea 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.
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.
5¶ “Pea te nau toʻo ʻae koula mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale.
5They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
6Pea 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.
6They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
7Ko hono potu ʻe ua ʻi he uma ʻe fakahoko fakataha ʻi hono kapa; pea ʻe hoko ʻo fakataha ia.
7It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
8Pea 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.
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.
9Pea te ke toʻo ʻae maka ʻoniki ʻe ua, ʻo tohi tongi ki ai ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:
9Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
10Ke 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.
10six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.
11Te 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.
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.
12Pea 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.
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.
13¶ “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ongo fakamaʻu koula;
13Fashion gold filigree settings
14Mo 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.
14and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.
15¶ “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.
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.
16ʻE 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.
16It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
17Pea 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.
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;
18Ko hono ua ʻoe ʻotu ko e ʻemalata, mo e safaia, mo e taiamoni.
18in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19Pea ko hono tolu ʻoe ʻotu ko e likua, mo e ʻaketi, mo e ʻametisi.
19in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20Pea ko hono fā ʻoe ʻotu, ko e pelili, mo e ʻoniki, mo e sasipa: ʻe ʻai ʻaki ia ʻae koula ki honau ngaahi tuʻunga.
20and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
21Pea 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.
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.
22¶ “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata ʻae seini ʻoe koula haohaoa ʻoe ngāue fihifihi.
22For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
23Pea 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.
23You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.
24Pea te ke ʻai ʻae seini koula fihifihi ʻe ua ʻi he kavei ʻe ua ʻoku ʻi he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata.
24Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
25Pea 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.
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.
26¶ “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,
26Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
27Pea 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.
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.
28Pea 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.
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.
29Pea 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.
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.
30Pea 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.
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.
31¶ “Pea te ke ngaohi ke ʻosi ʻae kofu ʻoe ʻefoti ʻaki ʻae lanumoana.
31You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
32Pea 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.
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.
33Pea 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.
33Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,
34Ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ʻi he kapa ʻoe kofu ʻo takatakai.
34alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.
35Pea 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.
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.
36¶ “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.
36You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
37Pea ʻe ʻai ia ki he noʻo lanumoana, koeʻuhi ke ʻi he tatā ia; ʻe ʻai ia ki he muʻa tatā.
37Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
38Pea 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.
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.
39¶ “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.
39You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.
40¶ “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.
40Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.
41Pea 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.
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.
42Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu vaʻe moʻonautolu ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau telefua: te nau hifo mei he noʻotangavala ki he ʻateʻivaʻe:
42Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.
43Pea 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.
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.
