But Samuel was ministering before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.

那时撒母耳还是孩子，穿着细麻布的以弗得，侍立在耶和华面前。

(Now Abiathar son of Ahimelek had brought the ephod down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)

亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他逃到基伊拉见大卫的时候，手里拿着以弗得。

When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, " Bring the ephod" .

大卫知道扫罗设谋害他，就对祭司亚比亚他说：" 将以弗得拿过来。"

The priest was very pleased. He took the ephod, the household gods and the idol and went along with the people.

祭司心里喜悦，便拿着以弗得和家中的神像，并雕刻的像，进入他们中间。

For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods.

以色列人也必多日独居，无君王、无首领、无祭祀、无柱像、无以弗得、无家中的神像。

They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver

他用织工作以弗得的外袍，颜色全是蓝的。

They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened.

又为以弗得作两条相连的肩带，接连在以弗得的两头。

The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

众官长把红玛瑙和别样的宝石，可以镶嵌在以弗得与胸牌上的，都拿了来。

Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.

将这两块宝石，安在以弗得的两条肩带上，为以色列人作记念石，是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的。

Now this man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and some household gods and installed one of his sons as his priest.

这米迦有了神堂，又制造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一个儿子作祭司。
