11 W ith 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.

تَنْقُشُ أسْماءَ أبناءِ إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى الحَجَرَينِ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الَّتِي يَصنَعُ بِها الصّائِغُ خَتماً. ثُمَّ تَضَعُ الحَجَرَينِ فِي إطارٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

12 A nd 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.

وَتَضَعُهُما عَلَى كَتِفَيِّ الثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ كَحِجارَةِ تَذكارٍ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. عَلَى هارُونَ أنْ يَرتَدِيَ أسْماءَهُمْ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ كَتَذكارٍ.

21 A nd 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.

24 A nd thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.

وَتَضَعُ طَرَفي سِلْسِلَتَي الذَّهَبِ في الحَلَقَتَينِ عَلَى طَرَفيِّ الصُدْرَةِ مِنَ الخَارِجِ.

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

ثُمَّ صِلِ الطَّرَفَينِ الآخَرَينِ لِلسِّلسِلَتَينِ بِالإطارَينِ. فَيَثْبُتا عَلَى كَتِفَيِّ الثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ مِنَ الأمامِ.

وَاصْنَعْ حَلَقَتَينِ أُخرَيينِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَضَعْهُما عَلَى طَرَفَي الصُّدرَةِ الآخَرَينِ، أي عَلَى الجانِبِ الدّاخِلِيِّ المُلاصِقِ لِلثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ.

27 A nd 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.

وَاصْنَعْ حَلَقَتَينِ أُخْرَيينِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَضَعهُما أسْفَلَ الكَتِفَينِ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ الثَّوبِ الكَهَنوتِيِّ، فَوقَ الحِزامِ.

28 A nd 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.

وَتُربَطُ حَلَقاتُ الصُّدرَةِ بِحَلَقاتِ الثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ بِخَيطٍ أزرَقَ. وَهَكَذا تَبقى صُدْرَةُ القَضاءِ قَرِيبَةً مِنْ حِزامِ الثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ، مُلتَصِقَةً بِالثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ.

29 A nd 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.

«وَيَرتَدِي هارُونُ أسْماءَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى صُدْرَةِ القَضاءِ قَرِيبَةً مِنْ قَلبِهِ حِينَ يَدخُلُ إلَى القُدْسِ، كَتَذكارٍ دائِمٍ وَمُستَمِرٍّ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.

30 A nd 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.

وَيُوضَعُ الأُورِيمُ وَالتُّمِّيمُ فِي عَلَى صُدرَةِ القَضاءِ قَرِيبَةً مِنْ قَلبِ هارُونَ حِينَ يَقِفُ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ. فَيَرتَدِي هارُونَ صُدْرَةَ قَضاءِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ بِقُربِ قَلبِهِ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ بِشَكلٍ دائِمٍ. الجُبَّة

31 A nd thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

«وَاصْنَعْ جُبَّةَ الثَّوبِ الكَهَنُوتِيِّ كُلَّها مِنْ قُماشٍ أزرَقَ.

32 A nd 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.

وَتَكُونُ لَها فُتْحَةٌ لِلرَّأسِ فِي وَسَطِها كَفُتْحَةِ الدِّرعِ. وَلِلفُتْحَةِ حافَّةٌ مَحبُوكَةٌ حَولَها كَي لا تَتَمَزَّقَ.

33 A nd 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:

وَاصْنَعْ رُمّاناتٍ مِنْ أقمِشَةٍ زَرقاءَ وَبَنَفسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمراءَ حَولَ الأطرافِ السُّفلَى لِلجُبَّةِ، وَأجراساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ عَلَى أطرافِ الثَّوبِ وَسَطَ الرُّمّاناتِ.

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

فَيَكونُ جَرَسٌ ذَهَبيٌّ واحِدٌ بَينَ كُلِّ رُمّانَتَينِ حَولَ أسْفَلِ الجُبَّةِ.

35 A nd 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.

فَيَرتَدي هارُونُ الجُبَّةَ أثْناءَ خِدمَتِهِ، فَيُسمَعُ صَوتُ الأجراسِ حِينَ يَدخُلُ قُدْسَ الأقداسِ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَحِينَ يَخرُجُ، فَلا يَمُوتُ. صَفِيحَةُ الذَّهَب

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

«وَاصْنَعْ صَفِيحَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ، وَانْقُشْ عَلَيها العِبارَةَ: ‹مُخَصَّصٌ لِيهوه› كَنَقْشِ الخَتمِ.

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

وَثَبِّتها بِخَيطٍ أزرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ العِمامَةِ.

38 A nd 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.

فَتَكُونُ عَلَى جَبِينِ هارُونَ. وَيُخَصِّصُ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ تقدِماتِهِمْ لِتَكُونَ مُقَدَّسَةً للهِ ، فَيَحْمِلُ هارُونُ شَوائِبَ الذُّنُوبِ العالِقَةَ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ التَّقدِماتِ. يَضَعُها عَلَى جَبيْنِهِ دائِماً فَيَحظَوْنَ بِرِضَى اللهِ.

39 A nd 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.

«وَانْسِجِ الرِّداءَ مِنْ كِتّانٍ، وَاصْنَعِ العِمامَةَ مِنْ كِتّانٍ. وَيَكُونُ الحِزامُ مُزَخرَفاً.

40 A nd 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.

وَاصْنَعْ لِأبناءِ هارُونَ أردِيَةً وَأحزِمَةً. وَاصْنَعْ لَهُمْ عَمائِمَ لِلمَجدِ وَالجَمالِ.

41 A nd 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.

فَتُلْبِسُ هارُونَ أخاكَ وَأبناءَهُ مَعَهُ، وَتَمسَحُهُمْ وَتُعَيِّنُهُمْ وَتُفرِزُهُمْ لِيَخدِمُونِي كَكَهَنَةٍ.

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

«وَاصنَعْ لَهُمْ سَراوِيلَ كِتّانِيَّةً داخِلِيَّةً لِتَغطِيَةِ أعضائِهِمْ، تَكُونُ مِنَ الخَصْرِ حَتَّى الفَخذَينِ.

43 a nd 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.

فَيَلبِسُها هارُونُ وَأبناؤهُ حِينَ يَأْتُونَ إلَى خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، وَحِينَ يَقتَرِبُونَ مِنَ المَذبَحِ لِيَخدِمُوا فِي قُدسِ الأقداسِ. وَبِهَذا لا يَرتَكِبُونَ إثماً فَيَمُوتُوا. فَليَحْفَظْ هارُونُ وَنَسلُهُ مِنْ بَعدِهِ هَذا الأمرَ كَعادَةٍ دائِمَةٍ.
