Deuteronomy 26

1 Now when you have come into the land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage, and you have made it yours and are living in it;

And it will be that you will go into the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance and you will take possession of it and you will dwell in it.

2 You are to take a part of the first-fruits of the earth, which you get from the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket, and go to the place marked out by the Lord your God, as the resting-place of his name.

And you will take some of [the] first of - all [the] fruit of the ground which you will bring in from land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you and you will put [it] in the basket and you will go to the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to cause to dwell name his there.

3 And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.

And you will go to the priest who he will be in the days those and you will say to him I declare this day to Yahweh God your that I have come into the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors our to give to us.

4 Then the priest will take the basket from your hand and put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.

And he will take the priest the basket from hand your and he will set down it before [the] altar of Yahweh God your.

5 And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:

And you will answer and you will say before - Yahweh God your [was] an Aramean wandering ancestor my and he went down Egypt towards and he sojourned there men of fewness and he became there a nation great mighty and numerous.

6 And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:

And they did harm to us the Egyptians and they afflicted us and they put on us labor hard.

7 And our cry went up to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord's ear was open to the voice of our cry, and his eyes took note of our grief and the crushing weight of our work:

And we cried out to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors our and he heard Yahweh voice our and he saw affliction our and toil our and oppression our.

8 And the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with works of power and signs and wonders:

And he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and by terror great and by signs and by wonders.

9 And he has been our guide to this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

And he brought us to the place this and he gave to us the land this a land flowing of milk and honey.

10 So now, I have come here with the first of the fruits of the earth which you, O Lord, have given me. Then you will put it down before the Lord your God and give him worship:

And therefore here! I have brought [the] first of [the] fruit of the ground which you have given to me O Yahweh and you will set down it before Yahweh God your and you will bow down before Yahweh God your.

11 And you will have joy in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you and to your family; and the Levite, and the man from a strange land who is with you, will take part in your joy.

And you will rejoice in all the good which he has given to you Yahweh God your and to household your you and the Levite and the sojourner who [is] in midst your.

12 When you have taken out a tenth from the tenth of all your produce in the third year, which is the year when this has to be done, give it to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and the child without a father, and the widow, so that they may have food in your towns and be full;

If you will finish to tithe all [the] tithe of produce your in the year third [the] year of the tithe and you will give [it] to the Levite to the sojourner to the fatherless one and to the widow and they will eat in gates your and they will be satisfied.

13 And say before the Lord your God, I have taken all the holy things out of my house and have given them to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and him who has no father, and the widow, as you have given me orders: I have kept in mind all your orders, in nothing have I gone against them:

And you will say before Yahweh God your I have removed the holy thing from the house and also I have given it to the Levite and to the sojourner to the fatherless one and to the widow according to all commandment your which you have commanded me not I have transgressed any of commandments your and not I have forgotten [them].

14 No part of these things has been used for food in a time of weeping, or put away when I was unclean, or given for the dead: I have given ear to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all you have given me orders to do.

Not I have eaten in mourning my any of it and not I have removed any of it unclean and not I have given any of it to [the] dead I have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God my I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

15 So, looking down from your holy place in heaven, send your blessing on your people Israel and on the land which you have given us, as you said in your oath to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Look down! from [the] habitation of holiness your from the heavens and bless people your Israel and the land which you have given to us just as you swore to ancestors our a land flowing of milk and honey.

16 Today the Lord your God gives you orders to keep all these laws and decisions: so then keep and do them with all your heart and all your soul.

The day this Yahweh God your [is] commanding you to observe the statutes these and the judgments and you will take care and you will observe them with all heart your and with all being your.

17 Today you have given witness that the Lord is your God, and that you will go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions and give ear to his voice:

Yahweh you have declared this day to become for you God and to walk in ways his and to keep statutes his and commandments his and judgments his and to listen to voice his.

18 And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

And Yahweh he has declared you this day to become for him a people of possession just as he spoke to you and to keep all commandments his.

19 And that he will make you high over all the nations he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you are to be a holy people to the Lord your God as he has said.

And to set you most high above all the nations which he has made for praise and for a name and for honor and to be you a people holy to Yahweh God your just as he spoke.
