Exodus 28

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.

1 وَافْرِزْ لِي هَرُونَ أَخَاكَ وَأَوْلادَهُ: نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ، مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَكُونُوا لِي كَهَنَةً.

2 Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.

2 وَاصْنَعْ لأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

3 You 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.

3 وَخَاطِبْ كُلَّ ذِي مَهَارَةٍ مِمَّنْ وَهَبْتُهُمْ رُوحَ الْبَرَاعَةِ فِي الْحِيَاكَةِ لِيَصْنَعُوا ثِيَابَ هَرُونَ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ، فَيَكُونَ كَاهِناً لِي.

4 These 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.

4 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الثِّيَابُ الَّتِي يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ صِنَاعَتُهَا: صُدْرَةٌ وَرِدَاءٌ وَجُبَّةٌ وَقَمِيصٌ مُخَرَّمٌ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَحِزَامٌ، يَصْنَعُونَهَا ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِهَرُونَ وَأَوْلادِهِ، لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

5 They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

5 وَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوا فِي حِيَاكَتِهَا خُيُوطاً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةً وَحَمْرَاءَ وَالْكَتَّانَ الْفَاخِرَ.

6 They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.

6 وَلْيَقُمْ أَمْهَرُ الخَيَّاطِينَ عَلَى صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَمِنَ الكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومِ.

7 It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.

7 يَكُونُ لَهُ كَتِفَانِ مُتَّصِلانِ فِي طَرَفَيْهِ لِيُمْكِنَ تَثْبِيتُهُ.

8 And 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.

8 أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ الَّذِي يَشُدُّهُ، فَيَكُونُ مُحَاكاً مِنْهُ، مَصْنُوعاً بِمَهَارَةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ فَاخِرٍ.

9 Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

9 ثُمَّ خُذْ حَجَرَيْ جَزْعٍ، وَانْقُشْ عَلَيْهِمَا أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.

10 تَنْقُشُ كلَّ سِتَّةِ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى حَجَرٍ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَارِيخِ وِلادَتِهِمْ.

11 Engrave 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.

11 انْقُشْ أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْحَجَرَيْنِ تَمَاماً مِثْلَ حَفْرِ النَّقَّاشِ الْمَاهِرِ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ، وَطَوِّقْهُمَا بِإِطَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

12 Fasten 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.

12 وَتُرَصِّعُ كَتِفَي الرِّدَاءِ بِالْحَجَرَيْنِ، فَيَكُونَانِ حَجَرَيْ تَذْكَارٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

13 Fashion gold filigree settings

13 وَتَصْنَعُ طَوْقَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

14 and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.

14 وَسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مَبْرُومَتَيْنِ كَحَبْلٍ، تُعَلِّقُهُمَا بِالطَّوْقَيْنِ.

15 You 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.

15 كَلِّفْ أَمْهَرَ الخَيَّاطِينَ بِصِنَاعَةِ «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ عَلَى غِرَارِ صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ.

16 It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.

16 وَتَكُونُ مُرَبَّعَةً مَثْنِيَّةً مِنْ طَبَقَتَيْنِ، وَطُولُهَا شِبْرٌ وَعَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ.

17 And 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;

17 وَتُرَصِّعُونَهَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوُفٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْكَرِيمَةِ. الصَّفُ الأَوَّلُ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ.

18 in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

18 وَالصَّفُّ الثَّانِي: بَهْرَمَانٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ.

19 in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

19 وَالصَّفُّ الثَّالِثُ: عَيْنُ الهِرِّ وَيَشْمٌ وَجَمَشْتٌ.

20 and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.

20 وَالصَّفُّ الرَّابعُ: زَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشَبٌ، وَتُؤَطِّرُهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَطْوَاقٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ فِي تَرْصِيعِهَا.

21 The 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.

21 وَتَنْقُشُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ اسْمَ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ نَقْشِ الْخَاتَمِ الْمَحْفُورَةِ عَلَيْهِ أَسْمَاءُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطاً.

22 For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.

22 وَاصْنَعْ عَلَى الصُّدْرَةِ سَلاسِلَ مَبْرُومَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مِثْلَ الْحَبْلِ الْمَضْفُورِ.

23 You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.

23 وَتَضَعُ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

24 Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

24 وَتَجْعَلُ ضَفِيرَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ فِي الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ.

25 and 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.

25 كَمَا تُدْخِلُ طَرَفَيِ الضَّفِيرَتَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ فِي الطَّوْقَيْنِ، وَتَجْعَلُهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ.

26 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.

26 وَتَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَتُثَبِّتُهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُلاصِقَةِ لِلرِّدَاءِ.

27 Make 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.

27 كَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَتَضَعُهُمَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِ كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ عِنْدَ مَكَانِ الْوَصْلِ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ.

28 The 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.

28 وَتَرْبِطُ حَلْقَتَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ إِلَى حَلْقَتَيِ الرِّدَاءِ بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ لِتَثْبُتَ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا لَا تُنْتَزَعُ الصُّدْرَةُ عَنِ الرِّدَاءِ.

29 Whenever 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.

29 فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ، تَذْكَاراً دَائِماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ

30 And 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.

30 وَتَضَعُ أَيْضاً فِي صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ «الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ» لِيَحْمِلَهَا هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَهَكَذَا يَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً رَمْزَ قَضَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

31 You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,

31 أَمَّا الْجُبَّةُ فَتَصْنَعُهَا كُلَّهَا مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ،

32 with 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.

32 لَهَا فَتْحَةٌ لِلرَّأْسِ فِي وَسَطِهَا، ذَاتُ حَاشِيَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةٍ، صِنَاعَةِ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ. عَلَى غِرَارِ فَتْحَةِ الْقَمِيصِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ لَا تَتَمَزَّقَ،

33 Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,

33 وَتَتَدَلَّى مِنْ هُدْبِهَا رُمَّانَاتٌ زَرْقَاءُ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةٌ وَحَمْرَاءُ، وَتُعَلِّقُ بَيْنَهَا أَجْرَاساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

34 alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.

34 فَيَكُونُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رُمَّانَتَيْنِ جَرَسٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا جَمِيعَهَا عَلَى أَذْيَالِ الْجُبَّةِ.

35 Aaron 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.

35 فَيَرْتَدِي هَرُونُ الْجُبَّةَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ لِلْخِدْمَةِ، فَتُسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتُهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ، لَئِلا يَمُوتَ.

36 You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.

36 وَاصْنَعْ صَفِيحَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَاحْفُرْ عَلَيْهَا كَالْحَفْرِ عَلَى خَاتَمٍ: «قُدْسٌ للرَّبِّ»

37 Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.

37 وَثَبِّتْهَا بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عِمَامَةِ هَرُونَ،

38 And 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.

38 فَتَكُونَ دَائِماً عَلَى جَبْهَةِ هَرُونَ، فَيَحْمِلَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وِزْرَ أَخْطَائِهِمْ فِي تَقْدِمَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي يُخَصِّصُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ. وَعَلَى هَرُونَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّمَ بِها دَائِماً عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ.

39 You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.

39 وَتَصْنَعُ قَمِيصَ هَرُونَ الْمُخَرَّمَ وَعِمَامَتَهُ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ كَتَّانِيٍّ، أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَتُطَرِّزُهُ تَطْرِيزَ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ.

40 Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.

40 وَكَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ لِبَنِي هَرُونَ أَقْمِصَةً وَأَحْزِمَةً، وَقَلانِسَ لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً.

41 After 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.

41 وَتُلْبِسُهَا هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ. ثُمَّ امْسَحْهُمْ بِزَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَكَرِّسْهُمْ لِلْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها، وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي.

42 Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.

42 وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سَرَاوِيلَ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ لِسَتْرِ الْعَوْرَةِ، تَصِلُ مِنَ الْحَقْوَيْنِ إِلَى الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ.

43 Aaron 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.

43 فَيَلْبَسُهَا هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ تَحْتَ قُمْصَانِهِمْ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَخْدِمُوا فِي القُدْسِ، لِئَلّا يُخْطِئُوا فَيَمُوتُوا. هَذَا فَرْضٌ دَائِمٌ عَلَى هَرُونَ وَنَسْلِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.
