The Priestly Garments
39 From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn(A) they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary.(B) They also made sacred garments(C) for Aaron, as the Lord commanded Moses.
The Ephod(D)
2 They[a] made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 3 They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be worked into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen—the work of skilled hands. 4 They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. 5 Its skillfully woven waistband was like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen, as the Lord commanded Moses.
6 They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel. 7 Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial(E) stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.
The Breastpiece(F)
8 They fashioned the breastpiece(G)—the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 9 It was square—a span[b] long and a span wide—and folded double. 10 Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; 11 the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 12 the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst; 13 the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper.[c] They were mounted in gold filigree settings. 14 There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.(H)
15 For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece. 17 They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 18 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 19 They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. 20 Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 21 They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod—as the Lord commanded Moses.
Other Priestly Garments(I)
22 They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver— 23 with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar,[d] and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. 24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe. 25 And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. 26 The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
27 For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen(J)—the work of a weaver— 28 and the turban(K) of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. 29 The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord.(L) 31 Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban,(M) as the Lord commanded Moses.
Moses Inspects the Tabernacle(N)
32 So all the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(O) 33 Then they brought the tabernacle(P) to Moses: the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 34 the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather[e] and the shielding curtain; 35 the ark of the covenant law(Q) with its poles and the atonement cover; 36 the table(R) with all its articles and the bread of the Presence;(S) 37 the pure gold lampstand(T) with its row of lamps and all its accessories,(U) and the olive oil(V) for the light; 38 the gold altar,(W) the anointing oil,(X) the fragrant incense,(Y) and the curtain(Z) for the entrance to the tent; 39 the bronze altar(AA) with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin(AB) with its stand; 40 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard;(AC) the ropes and tent pegs for the courtyard; all the furnishings for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; 41 and the woven garments(AD) worn for ministering in the sanctuary, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when serving as priests.
42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses.(AE) 43 Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded.(AF) So Moses blessed(AG) them.

Making the Priestly Garments
39 From the (A)blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made (B)finely woven garments,[a] for ministering in the Holy Place. They made the holy garments for Aaron, (C)as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2 (D)He made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. 3 And they hammered out gold leaf, and he cut it into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet yarns, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design. 4 They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges. 5 And the skillfully woven band on it was of one piece with it and made like it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 They made the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold filigree, and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel. 7 And he set them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 (E)He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, in the style of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. 9 It was square. They made the breastpiece doubled, a span[b] its length and a span its breadth when doubled. 10 And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row; 11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree. 14 There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes. 15 And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold. 16 And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece. 17 And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece. 18 They attached the two ends of the two cords to the two settings of filigree. Thus they attached it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod. 19 Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod. 20 And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. 21 And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 (F)He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue, 23 and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a binding around the opening, so that it might not tear. 24 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates— 26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 (G)They also made the coats, woven of fine (H)linen, for Aaron and his sons, 28 and the (I)turban of fine linen, and the caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twined linen, 29 and the sash of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, embroidered with needlework, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 (J)They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engraving of a signet, “Holy to the Lord.” 31 And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it on the turban above, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did (K)according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 34 the covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins, and the (L)veil of the screen; 35 the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat; 36 the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; 37 (M)the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 (N)the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and (O)the screen for the entrance of the tent; 39 the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin and its stand; 40 (P)the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the (Q)screen for the gate of the court, its (R)cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for their service as priests. 42 (S)According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses (T)blessed them.

Ebyambalo by’Obwakabona
39 (A)Awo ne bakola, mu wuzi eza bbululu; ne kakobe ne myufu, ebyambalo ebirukiddwa obulungi eby’okuweererezangamu mu Kifo Ekitukuvu. Ne bakolera ne Alooni ebyambalo ebitukuvu, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Ekkanzu ey’obwakabona Ennyimpi Eyitibwa Efodi
2 Awo ne bakola ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi mu wuzi eza zaabu, ne bbululu, ne kakobe ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu omulange. 3 Ne baweesa zaabu ey’oluwewere, ne bagisala obulere ne babukozesa awamu n’ewuzi eza bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu ne linena omulebevu omulungi omulange, nga bikoleddwa mu majjolobera agakoleddwa n’obukugu. 4 Ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi ne bagikolera eby’okubibegabega bibiri nga bitungiddwa w’ekoma, n’egattibwa bulungi. 5 Ne bakola omusipi gwayo n’amagezi mangi ng’agaakola ekkanzu ey’obwakabona, n’ebyakozesebwa nga bye bimu. Ewuzi nga za zaabu, ne bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu alangiddwa; nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
6 Ne baddira amayinja ga onuku ne bagakwasiza mu mapeesa aga zaabu, ng’amayinja gawandiikiddwako, ng’empeta bw’ewandiikwako, amannya g’abaana ba Isirayiri. 7 (B)Ne bagakwasiza ku byokubibegabega eby’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, okubeeranga amayinja g’ekijjukizo ky’abaana ba Isirayiri; nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Ekyomukifuba
8 (C)Ne bakola ekyomukifuba, nga mulimu gwa kikugu ng’ogw’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eyitibwa efodi, mu wuzi za zaabu, ne bbululu, ne kakobe ne myufu ne linena omulebevu omulange. 9 Kyali kyenkanankana, buli ludda sentimita amakumi abiri mu bbiri ne desimoolo ttaano nga kimaze okuwetebwamu wakati. 10 Ne batungirako ennyiriri nnya ez’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi. Mu lunyiriri olusooka bassaamu amayinja: sadiyo, ne topazi, ne kaabankulo; 11 ne mu lunyiriri olwokubiri bassaamu amayinja: nnawandagala, ne safiro ne alimaasi; 12 ne mu lunyiriri olwokusatu bassaamu amayinja: jasinta, ne ageti, ne amesusito; 13 ne mu lunyiriri olwokuna bassaamu amayinja: berulo, ne onuku, ne yasipero; ne gategekebwa mu fuleemu eya zaabu. 14 (D)Waaliwo amayinja ag’omuwendo kkumi n’abiri, nga ku buli limu kusaliddwako erimu ku mannya g’abaana ba Isirayiri. Gaasalibwa bulungi ng’obubonero obuwoolebwa nga ku buli limu kuliko erinnya lyako okumalirayo ddala amannya g’ebika ekkumi n’ebibiri.
15 Ku kyomukifuba baakolerako enjegere ennange ng’emiguwa, nga za zaabu omuka; 16 ne bakola fuleemu bbiri eza zaabu n’empeta bbiri eza zaabu; ne bassa empeta ezo zombi ku mikugiro ebiri egy’ekyomu kifuba. 17 Ne bayisa enjegere ebbiri mu mpeta ebbiri ezaali ku mikugiro gy’eky’omu kifuba. 18 Ne baddira enjuuyi ebbiri ezaasigalawo ez’enjegere ne bazikwasiza ku fuleemu ebbiri, ne bazinywereza mu maaso g’eby’okubibegabega byombi eby’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi. 19 Era baakola empeta bbiri eza zaabu ne bazitunga ku mikugiro ebiri egy’ekyomu kifuba ku luuyi olw’omunda olwali luliraanye ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi. 20 Ne bakolayo empeta endala bbiri eza zaabu ne baziteeka mu maaso mu bitundu byombi ebya wansi eby’eby’okubibegabega eby’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi, wagguluko okumpi n’oluzizi lw’omusipi lw’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi. 21 Baasiba empeta ez’oku kyomukifuba wamu n’empeta z’ekkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi n’akaguwa aka bbululu, ne bakagatta n’omusipi ekyomukifuba kireme kutaggulukuka ku kkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi. Byakolebwa nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Ebyambalo eby’Obwakabona ebirala
22 Baakola ekyambalo eky’omunda mu kkanzu ey’obwakabona eya efodi, nga kiruke era nga kya bbululu kyonna. 23 Ne bassa ekituli wakati mu kyambalo omw’okuyisa omutwe. Ku kituli ekyo ne beetooloozaako omuge omuyonde ng’omuleera kireme okuyulika. 24 Okwetooloola ebirenge by’ekyambalo ekyo wansi ne batungayo amajjolobera mu wuzi eza bbululu, ne kakobe, ne myufu, ne linena omulebevu omulange obulungi. 25 Era ne bakola n’obude obwa zaabu omuka, ne bagenda nga babutobeka mu majjolobera; 26 baatunga amajjolobera ne baddirizaako akade, ate ne batunga amajjolobera ne baddirizaako akade, okwetooloola ebirenge by’ekyambalo ekyo eky’okuweererezangamu; nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
27 (E)Era ne bakolera Alooni n’abaana be amakooti agaalukibwa mu wuzi eza linena omulebevu omulungi. 28 (F)Ne bakola n’ekitambaala eky’oku mutwe mu linena omulebevu omulungi, era n’enkuufiira ne bazikola mu linena omulebevu omulungi; ne bakola n’empale mu linena omulebevu omulungi omulange, 29 n’omusipi mu linena omulebevu omulungi omulange ow’ewuzi eza bbululu, ne kakobe ne myufu nga zitungiddwa ng’omudalizo n’amagezi mangi; nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
30 Era ne bakola akapande ak’engule entukuvu mu zaabu omuka, ne bayolako ebigambo, nga bw’owandiika ku kabonero, nti:
Mutukuvu wa Mukama.
31 Ne bakasibako akakoba akatunge obulungi aka bbululu, kakanywerezenga waggulu ku kitambaala ky’oku mutwe; nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
Okumaliriza omulimu gw’Eweema ya Mukama
32 (G)Bwe gutyo omulimu gwonna ogw’okukola Eweema ya Mukama, eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ne guggwa; ng’abaana ba Isirayiri bakoze ebyo byonna nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa. 33 Awo Weema ya Mukama ne bagireetera Musa;
Eweema ya Mukama yonna ne byonna ebyali bigirimu: ebisiba byayo, n’embaawo, n’emikiikiro, n’empagi zaayo, n’ebituurwamu;
34 ekibikkako eky’amaliba g’endiga amakunye amannyike mu langi emyufu, n’amaliba g’embuzi amakunye, n’eggigi ery’okutimba;
35 (H)essanduuko ey’Endagaano n’emisituliro gyayo n’ekisaanikira, ye ntebe ey’okusaasira;
36 emmeeza ne byonna ebigibeerako, n’emigaati gya Mukama egy’olubeerera;
37 (I)ekikondo ky’ettaala ekya zaabu omuka, n’ettaala zaako n’ebigenderako ebikozesebwa, n’amafuta gaazo;
38 (J)ekyoto ekya zaabu, amafuta ag’okwawula n’obubaane obw’akawoowo, n’olutimbe olw’omulyango oguyingira mu Weema ya Mukama;
39 ekyoto eky’ekikomo n’ekitindiro kyakyo eky’ekikomo, emisituliro gyakyo ne byonna ebikozesebwako;
ebbensani ne ky’etuulamu;
40 (K)entimbe ez’oku bisenge, eby’omu luggya n’empagi zaazo ne mwe zituula, n’olutimbe olw’omu mulyango ogulaga mu luggya,
emiguwa gyalwo n’enkondo zaalwo;

41 ebyambalo ebiruke obulungi ebyambalwa mu kuweereza mu Kifo Ekitukuvu, ebyambalo ebitukuvu ebya Alooni kabona, n’ebyambalo bya batabani be bye bakozesa mu bwakabona nga baweereza.
42 (L)Nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa mu byonna, bwe batyo abaana ba Isirayiri omulimu gwonna bwe baagukola. 43 (M)Awo Musa n’akebera omulimu gwonna, era n’alaba nga bagumalirizza. Nga Mukama bwe yalagira, nabo bwe batyo bwe baagukola. Awo Musa n’abasabira omukisa.
