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.
1And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
2Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu tapu ki ho taʻokete ko ʻElone ke fakaʻeiʻeiki mo matamatalelei.
2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for splendour and for beauty.
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.
3And 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.
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.
4And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of chequer 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¶ “Pea te nau toʻo ʻae koula mo e lanumoana, mo e paʻuhiʻuhi, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu tuʻovalevale.
5And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the 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.
6And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.
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 joined to the two ends thereof, that it may be joined together.
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 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.
9Pea te ke toʻo ʻae maka ʻoniki ʻe ua, ʻo tohi tongi ki ai ʻae ngaahi hingoa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:
9And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children 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 the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to 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.
11With 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.
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.
12And 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 the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13¶ “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ongo fakamaʻu koula;
13And thou shalt make settings of gold;
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; of plaited thread shalt thou make them, of wreathen work; and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on 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.
15And 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.
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.
16Four-square it shall be and double: a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.
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 thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd shall be the first row;
18Ko hono ua ʻoe ʻotu ko e ʻemalata, mo e safaia, mo e taiamoni.
18and the second row a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an emerald;
19Pea ko hono tolu ʻoe ʻotu ko e likua, mo e ʻaketi, mo e ʻametisi.
19and 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 the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be inclosed in gold in their 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.
21And 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¶ “Pea te ke ngaohi ʻi hono potu ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata ʻae seini ʻoe koula haohaoa ʻoe ngāue fihifihi.
22And thou shalt make upon the breastplate plaited chains of wreathen work 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.
23And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24Pea te ke ʻai ʻae seini koula fihifihi ʻe ua ʻi he kavei ʻe ua ʻoku ʻi he mui ʻe ua ʻoe sīfafatafata.
24And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
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 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¶ “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,
26And 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.
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.
27And 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.
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.
28And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue, that it may be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed 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.
29And 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 the LORD continually.
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 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 the LORD; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
31¶ “Pea te ke ngaohi ke ʻosi ʻae kofu ʻoe ʻefoti ʻaki ʻae lanumoana.
31And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
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.
32And 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.
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.
33And 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:
34Ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ko e fafangu koula mo e fuaʻi ʻakau, ʻi he kapa ʻoe kofu ʻo takatakai.
34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
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.
35And it shall be upon Aaron to minister; and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
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.
36And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: 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.
37And thou shalt put it on a thread of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
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 shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity committed in the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow, even in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted 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.
39And thou shalt weave the tunic in chequer work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the weaver in colours.
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.
40And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make tunics, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for splendour and for beauty.
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.
41And 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.
42Pea te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kofu vaʻe moʻonautolu ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau telefua: te nau hifo mei he noʻotangavala ki he ʻateʻivaʻe:
42And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach.
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.
43And 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.
