¹And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

¹[Ny amin'ny hanendrena ny mpisorona, sy izay ho fomban'ny fitafiany] Ary asaovy manatona anao Arona rahalahinao mbamin'ny zanany, avy amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, mba ho mpisorona ho Ahy izy, dia Arona mbamin'i Nadaba sy Abiho sy Eleazara ary Itamara, zanak'i Arona.

²And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.

²Ary manaova fitafiana masina ho an'i Arona rahalahinao ho voninahitra sy ho fahatsaran-tarehy.

³And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

³Ary mitenena amin'izay hendry fo, izay nofenoiko fanahim-pahendrena, mba hanao ny fitafian'i Arona hanamasinana azy ho mpisorona ho Ahy.

⁴And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, 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.

⁴Ary izao no fitafiana izay hataony: saron-tratra sy efoda sy akanjo ivelany sy akanjo lava tenom-boaroy sy hamama ary fehin-kibo; dia hanao fitafiana masina ho an'i Arona rahalahinao izy, sy ho an'ny zanany, mba ho mpisorona ho Ahy izy.

⁵And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

⁵Ary aoka haka ny volamena sy ny manga sy ny volomparasy sy ny mena ary ny rongony fotsy madinika izy.

⁶And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.

⁶Dia aoka izy hanao ny efoda amin'ny volamena sy manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina, asan'ny mpanenona mahay.

⁷It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.

⁷Aoka hisy soroka roa avy amin'ny sisiny roa hampikambana azy.

⁸And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

⁸Ary ny fehin-kibo momba ny efoda, izay eo amboniny ka hiray aminy sady hitovy tarehy aminy, dia hatao volamena sy manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina.

⁹And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

⁹Ary makà vato beryla roa, ka soraty eo aminy ny anaran'ny Zanak'Isiraely:

¹⁰Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

¹⁰ny anarany enina amin'ny vato iray, ary ny anarany enina kosa amin'ny vato iray, araka ny fizokiany;

¹¹With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

¹¹amin'ny asan'ny mpanora-bato, tahaka ny fanoratana fanombohan-kase, no hanoratanao ny vato roa, araka ny anaran'ny Zanak'Isiraely; ary asio randram-bolamena manodidina izy,

¹²And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

¹²Ary ataovy eo amin'ny soroky ny efoda ny vato roa, ho vato fahatsiarovana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely; ary Arona hitondra ireo anarany ireo eo anatrehan'i Jehovah amin'ny sorony roa ho fahatsiarovana.

¹³And thou shalt make ouches of gold;

¹³Ary manaova randram-bolamena

¹⁴And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathed work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathed chains to the ouches.

¹⁴sy olam-bolamena tsara roa; mifanolana toy ny tady no hanaovanao ireo, ary hataonao eo amin'ny randram-bolamena ireo alom-bolamena toy ny tady ireo.

¹⁵And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

¹⁵Ary manaova saron-tratra fitsarana, ka asan'ny mpanenona mahay, toy ny nanaovana ny efoda, no hanaovanao azy; volamena sy manga sy volomparasy sy mena ary rongony fotsy madinika voahasina no hanaovanao azy.

¹⁶Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.

¹⁶Ho efa-joro miforitra roa izy, ary ho irain-jehy avy ny lafiny efatra.

¹⁷And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.

¹⁷Ary asio vato alatsaka an-tranontranony izy, dia vato efatra an-dalana: ny andalana voalohany dia karnelia sy topaza ary emeralda;

¹⁸And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

¹⁸ary ny andalana faharoa dia robina sy safira ary onyksa;

¹⁹And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

²⁰And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

²⁰ary ny andalana fahefatra dia krysolita sy beryla ary jaspy; ary asio randram-bolamena ny fitoerany avy.

²¹And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.

²¹Ary ny vato dia alaharo araka ny anaran'ny Zanak'Isiraely, dia roa ambin'ny folo araka ny anarany; ary hisy soratra toy ny amin'ny fanombohan-kase, ho amin'ny firenena roa ambin'ny folo araka ny anarany avy.

²²And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathed work of pure gold.

²²Ary eo amin'ny saron-tratra asio olam-bolamena tsara mifanolana toy ny tady.

²³And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

²³Ary manaova vava volamena roa ho eo amin'ny saron-tratra; ary ny vava vola roa dia ataovy eo amin'ny zorony roa ambony amin'ny saron-tratra.

²⁴And thou shalt put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.

²⁴Ary ny tady volamena roa dia ataovy eo amin'ny vava vola roa, izay amin'ny zorony roa ambony amin'ny saron-tratra.

²⁵And the other two ends of the two wreathed chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.

²⁵Ary ny lanin'ny tady roa dia ataovy eo amin'ny soroky ny efoda anoloana.

²⁶And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.

²⁶Ary manaova vava volamena roa, ka ataovy amin'ny zorony roa ambany amin'ny saron-tratra, dia amin'ny sisiny anatiny, izay manolotra ny efoda.

²⁷And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

²⁷Ary manaova vava volamena roa koa, ka ataovy eo amin'ny soroko roa amin'ny efoda, dia ao ambaniny, eo anoloany, akaikin'ny fikambanany, eo ambonin'ny fehin-kibo momba ny efoda.

²⁸And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

²⁸Ary kofehy manga no hamehezana ny vava volan'ny saron-tratra amin'ny vava volan'ny efoda, mba ho eo ambonin'ny fehin-kibo momba ny efoda ny saron-tratra, ka tsy ho afaka eo.

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.

²⁹Ary Arona hitondra ny anaran'ny Zanak'Isiraely eo amin'ny saron-tratra fitsarana manolotra ny fony, raha miditra amin'ny fitoerana masina izy, mba ho fahatsiarovana mandrakariva eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

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.

³⁰Ary ataovy eo amin'ny saron-tratra fitsarana ny Orima sy Tomima; ary hanolotra ny fon'i Arona izany, raha miditra eo anatrehan'i Jehovah izy; ka dia ho entin'i Arona manolotra ny fony mandrakariva eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ny fitsarana ny Zanak'Isiraely.

³¹And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

³¹Ary ny akanjo ivelany misy ny efoda dia ataovy manga avokoa.

³²And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.

³²Ary asio vozony eo afovoany, ary aoka hisy sisiny voatenona manodidina ny vozony, tahaka ny vozon'ny akanjo fiarovan-tratra, mba tsy hahatriatra azy.

³³And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:

³³Ary asio sarin'ampongaben-danitra manga sy volomparasy sy mena manodidina eny amin'ny moron-tongony, ary famohamandry volamena kosa eo anelanelany manodidina:

³⁴A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.

³⁴dia famohamandry sy sarin'ampongaben-danitra mifanelanelana manodidina eny amin'ny moron-tongotry ny akanjo ivelany.

³⁵And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

³⁵Ary hiakanjoan'i Arona izany, raha manao ny fanompoam-pivavahany izy, mba ho re ny fanenony, raha miditra amin'ny fitoerana masina eo anatrehan'i Jehovah sy raha mivoaka izy, mba tsy hahafaty azy.

³⁶And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

³⁶Ary manaova takela-bolamena tsara, ka asio soratra eo aminy, araka ny fanoratana fanombohan-kase, hoe: HAMASININA HO AN'I JEHOVAH.

³⁷And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

³⁷Ary asio kofehy manga izy, ka ataovy eo amin'ny hamama: dia eo anoloan'ny hamama no hasiana azy.

³⁸And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

³⁸Ary ho eo ambonin'ny handrin'i Arona izy, mba ho entin'i Arona ny heloky ny zava-masina, izay hohamasinin'ny Zanak'Isiraely amin'ny fanomezany masina rehetra; ary ho eo amin'ny handriny mandrakariva izany, mba hankasitrahana eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ny olona.

³⁹And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.

³⁹Ary ny akanjo lava dia ataovy hariry madinika tenom-boaroy; ary manaova hamama rongony fotsy madinika sy fehin-kibo, asan'ny mahay tenona samy hafa soratra.

⁴⁰And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

⁴⁰Ary manaova akanjo lava ho an'ny zanak'i Arona, ary manaova fehin-kibo ho azy; ary manaova satroka boribory ho azy ho voninahitra sy ho fahatsaran-tarehy.

⁴¹And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and 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.

⁴¹Ary ataovy amin'i Arona rahalahinao sy ny zanany koa ireo; dia manosora azy sy manokana azy ary manamasina azy, mba ho mpisorona ho Ahy izy.

⁴²And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:

⁴²Ary manaova kalisaona fohy rongony fotsy ho azy hanarona ny fitanjahany; hatramin'ny valahany ka hatramin'ny feny no hisy azy.Ary hiakanjoan'i Arona sy ny zanany ireo, raha miditra amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, na manakaiky ny alitara hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin'ny fitoerana masina, mba tsy hahazoany heloka hahafaty azy; ho lalàna mandrakizay aminy sy amin'ny taranany mandimby azy izany.

⁴³And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 his seed after him.

⁴³Ary hiakanjoan'i Arona sy ny zanany ireo, raha miditra amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana izy, na manakaiky ny alitara hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao amin'ny fitoerana masina, mba tsy hahazoany heloka hahafaty azy; ho lalàna mandrakizay aminy sy amin'ny taranany mandimby azy izany.
