¹And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest -- 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 ornament.

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

³And thou shalt speak with all [that are] wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.

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 cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.

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 twined byssus,

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

⁶and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.

⁷It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.

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

⁸And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus.

⁹And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave 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 the one stone, and the 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;

¹¹According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.

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 shoulder-pieces of the ephod [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah 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 enclosures of gold;

¹³Ary manaova randram-bolamena

¹⁴and two chains of pure gold; of laced work shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and fasten the wreathen chains to the enclosures.

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 of artistic work, like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus 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.

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

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

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

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 on the breastplate chains of laced work, of wreathen work, of pure gold.

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

²³And thou shalt make on 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 wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings 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 two ends of the two wreathen [cords] thou shalt fasten to the two enclosures, and shalt put [them] on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.

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

²⁶And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.

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 rings of gold shalt thou make, and shalt put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof just by the coupling thereof, above the 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 with its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the 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 on his heart, when he goes in to the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah 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 into the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, that they may be upon Aaron's heart when he goeth in before Jehovah; and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah 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 cloak of the ephod all of blue.

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

³²And its opening for the head shall be in the midst thereof; there shall be a binding of woven work at its opening round about; as the opening of a coat of mail, it shall be in it -- it shall not rend.

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 on the skirts thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts 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, in the skirts of the cloak round about.

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

³⁵And it shall be on Aaron for service; that his sound may be heard when he goeth into the sanctuary before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.

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 thin plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, as the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!

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 lace of blue, and it shall be upon the turban -- upon the front of the turban shall it 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, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all gifts of their holy things; and it shall be continually on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

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 weave the vest of byssus; and thou shalt make a turban of byssus; and thou shalt make a girdle of embroidery.

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 vests; and thou shalt make for them girdles; and high caps shalt thou make for them, for glory and for ornament.

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 clothe with them Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.

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 trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they 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 his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die -- an everlasting statute for 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.
