Exodo 28
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Kasuotan ng mga Pari(A)
28 “Ipatawag mo ang kapatid mong si Aaron at ang mga anak niyang sina Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar at Itamar. Ibukod mo sila sa karamihan ng mga Israelita upang maglingkod sa akin bilang mga pari. 2 Ipagpagawa mo ang kapatid mong si Aaron ng maganda at marangal na kasuotang nararapat sa kanyang banal na gawain. 3 Ang mga kasuotang ito ay ipagawa mo sa mga taong binigyan ko ng kahusayan sa paggawa nito. Kailangan ito ni Aaron sa paglilingkod sa akin bilang pari. 4 Ito ang kasuotang ipapagawa mo: pektoral, efod, abito, mahabang panloob na kasuotan, turbante at pamigkis. Ipagpagawa mo ng sagradong kasuotan si Aaron at ang mga anak niyang lalaki upang magamit nila sa paglilingkod sa akin bilang mga pari. 5 Ang mga kasuotang ipapagawa mo ay gagamitan ng ginto, lanang asul, murado at pula, at pinong sinulid na lino.
Ang Efod
6 “Ang efod ay gagawin nilang yari sa ginto, lanang kulay asul, kulay ube at kulay pula, at hinabing telang lino at buburdahan nang maganda. 7 Palagyan mo ito ng dalawang tali sa balikat na siyang magdudugtong sa harap at likod. 8 Kabitan ito ng pamigkis na yari din sa ginto, lanang asul, kulay ube at pula, at hinabing telang lino.
9 “Kumuha ka ng dalawang batong kornalina at ipaukit mo roon ang pangalan ng labindalawang anak na lalaki ni Israel, 10 tig-anim sa bawat bato ayon sa pagkakasunod ng kanilang kapanganakan. 11 Ipagawa mo ito sa mahusay na platero at ipakabit mo ito sa lalagyang ginto. 12 Ikakabit ito sa tali sa balikat ng efod bilang tagapagpaalala sa labindalawang anak na lalaki ni Israel. Sa ganitong paraan, dadalhin ni Aaron sa kanyang mga balikat ang mga pangalan ng labindalawang lipi ni Israel upang sila'y maalala ni Yahweh.
13 “Magpapagawa ka rin ng dalawa pang patungang ginto, 14 at dalawang nilubid na ginto na ikakabit mo sa dalawang patungan.
Ang Pektoral(B)
15 “Gumawa ka rin ng pektoral na gagamitin ng pinakapunong pari sa pag-alam ng kalooban ni Yahweh. Buburdahan ito nang maganda, tulad ng sa efod. Ang gagamitin dito'y ginto, lanang kulay asul, kulay ube at pula, at telang lino. 16 Gawin mo itong parisukat at magkataklob: 0.2 metro ang haba, at ganoon din ang lapad. 17 Lagyan ito ng apat na hilera ng mga mamahaling bato. Sa unang hilera ay rubi, topaz at karbungko. 18 Sa ikalawang hilera naman ay esmeralda, safiro at brilyante. 19 Sa ikatlong hilera ay jacinto, agata at ametista. 20 At sa ikaapat na hilera ay berilo, kornalina at jasper. Ang mga ito'y ikakabit sa patungang ginto. 21 Labindalawa lahat ang batong gagamitin upang kumatawan sa labindalawang anak ni Israel. Tulad ng isang pantatak, sa bawat bato'y nakaukit nang maganda ang pangalan ng bawat anak na lalaki ni Israel. 22 Gumawa ka ng dalawang maliliit na lubid na ginto at ikabit mo sa pektoral. 23 Kabitan mo ito ng dalawang argolyang ginto sa mga sulok sa itaas, 24 at dito itatali ang dalawang lubid na ginto. 25 Ang kabilang dulo ng mga ito ay ikakabit naman sa dalawang patungang ginto na nasa tali sa balikat ng efod, sa gawing harapan. 26 Kabitan mo rin ng tig-isang argolyang ginto sa magkabilang sulok sa ibaba, sa bandang loob, malapit sa efod. 27 Gumawa ka ng dalawa pang argolyang ginto, ikabit mo ito sa tali sa balikat ng efod, sa harapan, sa tabi ng dugtungan, sa gawing itaas ng pamigkis. 28 Ang argolya ng pektoral at ang argolya ng efod ay pagkakabitin ng lubid na asul para huwag magkahiwalay.
29 “Kaya, pagpasok ni Aaron sa Dakong Banal na suot ang pektoral, dala niya, sa tapat ng kanyang puso, ang pangalan ng mga lipi ng Israel upang sila'y maalala ni Yahweh. 30 Ilalagay(C) naman sa pektoral ang Urim at Tumim upang ito'y nasa tapat din ng puso ni Aaron pagharap niya kay Yahweh. Tuwing siya'y haharap kay Yahweh, dala niya sa tapat ng kanyang puso ang kagamitan sa pag-alam ng kalooban ko para sa Israel.
Ang Iba pang Kasuotan ng Pari(D)
31 “Gumawa rin kayo ng damit na ilalagay sa ilalim ng efod. Ito'y yari sa telang kulay asul. 32 Lalagyan ito ng butas sa suotan ng ulo at lalagyan ng tupi ang paligid ng butas tulad ng karaniwang baro, upang hindi matastas. 33 Gagawa(E) ka ng palawit na parang bunga ng punong granada na yari sa lanang kulay asul, kulay ube at kulay pula, at ikakabit mo sa laylayan. Pagkatapos, lagyan mo ng kampanilyang ginto ang pagitan ng mga palawit. 34 Ang magiging ayos nito ay isang hanay ng magkasalit na kampanilya at palawit sa buong laylayan. 35 Ito'y isusuot ni Aaron tuwing gaganap ng tungkulin bilang pari upang marinig ang tunog ng kampanilya tuwing siya'y papasok at lalabas sa Dakong Banal ni Yahweh. Sa gayon, hindi siya mamamatay.
36 “Gumawa ka rin ng isang palamuting ginto na may nakaukit na ganito: ‘Inilaan kay Yahweh.’ 37 Itali mo ito ng asul na lubid sa turbante, 38 sa tapat ng noo ni Aaron; siya ang magdadala ng anumang pagkukulang ng mga Israelita sa kanilang paghahandog kay Yahweh. Sa gayo'y magiging kalugud-lugod sa kanya ang kanilang mga handog.
39 “Ipagpagawa mo si Aaron ng mahabang panloob na kasuotan at turbanteng yari sa telang lino at pamigkis na buburdahan nang maganda.
40 “Ang mga anak naman ni Aaron ay ipagpapagawa mo ng mahabang panloob na kasuotan, pamigkis at karaniwang turbante upang sila'y maging kagalang-galang at maayos tingnan. 41 Ipasuot mo ito sa kapatid mong si Aaron at sa kanyang mga anak na lalaki. Buhusan mo sila ng langis, italaga at ilaan sa paglilingkod sa akin bilang mga pari. 42 Ipagpapagawa mo rin sila ng linong salawal na hanggang hita para hindi makita ang kanilang kahubaran. 43 Si Aaron at ang mga anak niyang lalaki ay magsusuot nito pagpunta sa Toldang Tipanan o paglapit sa altar sa Dakong Banal para hindi magkasala at nang hindi sila mamatay. Mananatili itong tuntunin para kay Aaron at sa kanyang salinlahi.
Exodus 28
New King James Version
Garments for the Priesthood(A)
28 “Now take (B)Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to Me as (C)priest, Aaron and Aaron’s sons: (D)Nadab, Abihu, (E)Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And (F)you shall make [a]holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 So (G)you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, (H)whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest. 4 And these are the garments which they shall make: (I)a breastplate, (J)an [b]ephod, (K)a robe, (L)a skillfully woven tunic, a turban, and (M)a sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.
The Ephod
5 “They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, 6 (N)and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked. 7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together. 8 And the [c]intricately woven band of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen.
9 “Then you shall take two onyx (O)stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel: 10 six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their (P)birth. 11 With the work of an (Q)engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold. 12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So (R)Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders (S)as a memorial. 13 You shall also make settings of gold, 14 and you shall make two chains of pure gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.
The Breastplate(T)
15 (U)“You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. 16 It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width. 17 (V)And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row shall be a [d]sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row; 18 the second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 19 the third row, a [e]jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row, a [f]beryl, an [g]onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold settings. 21 And the stones shall have the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.
22 “You shall make chains for the breastplate at the end, like braided cords of pure gold. 23 And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 Then you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate; 25 and the other two ends of the two braided chains you shall fasten to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.
26 “You shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the ephod. 27 And two other rings of gold you shall make, and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the [h]intricately woven band of the ephod. 28 They shall bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod, using a blue cord, so that it is above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate does not come loose from the ephod.
29 “So Aaron shall (W)bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment over his heart, when he goes into the holy place, as a memorial before the Lord continually. 30 And (X)you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the [i]Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.
Other Priestly Garments(Y)
31 (Z)“You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it does not tear. 33 And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all around. 35 And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord and when he comes out, that he may not die.
36 (AA)“You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet:
HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 And you shall put it on a blue cord, that it may be on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban. 38 So it shall be on Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may (AB)bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel hallow in all their [j]holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be (AC)accepted before the Lord.
39 “You shall (AD)skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread, you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the sash of woven work.
40 (AE)“For Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them. And you shall make [k]hats for them, for glory and (AF)beauty. 41 So you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him. You shall (AG)anoint them, (AH)consecrate them, and [l]sanctify them, that they may minister to Me as priests. 42 And you shall make (AI)for them linen trousers to cover their [m]nakedness; they shall [n]reach from the waist to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near (AJ)the altar to minister in the holy place, that they (AK)do not incur [o]iniquity and die. (AL)It shall be a statute forever to him and his descendants after him.
