Deuteronomy 26
1 “And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:
Y será que, cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredad, y la poseyeres, y habitares en ella;
2 you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.
entonces tomarás de las primicias de todos los frutos de la tierra, que sacares de tu tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, y lo pondrás en un canastillo, e irás al lugar que el SEÑOR tu Dios escogiere para hacer habitar allí su nombre.
3 And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’
Y llegarás al sacerdote que fuere en aquellos días, y le dirás: Reconozco hoy al SEÑOR tu Dios que he entrado en la tierra que juró el SEÑOR a nuestros padres que nos había de dar.
4 And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.
Y el sacerdote tomará el canastillo de tu mano, y lo pondrá delante del altar del SEÑOR tu Dios.
5 And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.
Entonces hablarás y dirás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios: Mi padre, el Siro, pereciendo de hambre descendió a Egipto y peregrinó allá con pocos hombres, y allí creció en gente grande, fuerte y numerosa;
6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.
y los egipcios nos maltrataron, y nos afligieron, y pusieron sobre nosotros dura servidumbre.
7 And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.
Y clamamos al SEÑOR Dios de nuestros padres; y el SEÑOR oyó nuestra voz, y vio nuestra aflicción, y nuestro trabajo, y nuestra opresión.
8 And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.
Y nos sacó el SEÑOR de Egipto con mano fuerte, y con brazo extendido, y con grande espanto, y con señales y con milagros;
9 And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.
y nos trajo a este lugar, y nos dio esta tierra, tierra que fluye leche y miel.
10 And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.
Y ahora, he aquí, he traído las primicias del fruto de la tierra que me diste, oh SEÑOR. Y lo dejarás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios, y te inclinarás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios.
11 And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.
Y te alegrarás con todo el bien que el SEÑOR tu Dios te hubiere dado a ti y a tu casa, tú y el levita y el extranjero que está en medio de ti.
12 When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.
Cuando hubieres acabado de diezmar todo el diezmo de tus frutos en el año tercero, el año del diezmo, darás también al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda; y comerán por dentro de tus puertas, y se saciarán.
13 And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.
Y dirás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios: Yo he sacado lo consagrado de mi casa, y también lo he dado al levita, y al extranjero, y al huérfano, y a la viuda, conforme a todos tus mandamientos que me mandaste; no he pasado de tus mandamientos, ni me he olvidado de ellos.
14 I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.
No he comido de ello en mi luto, ni he sacado de ello estando en inmundicia, ni de ello he dado para mortuorio; he escuchado la voz del SEÑOR mi Dios, he hecho conforme a todo lo que me has mandado.
15 Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
Mira desde la morada de tu santidad, desde el cielo, y bendice a tu pueblo Israel, y a la tierra que nos has dado, como juraste a nuestros padres, tierra que fluye leche y miel.
16 Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.
El SEÑOR tu Dios te manda hoy que cumplas estos estatutos y derechos; cuida, pues, de ponerlos por obra con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma.
17 Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.
Al SEÑOR has ensalzado hoy para que te sea por Dios, y para andar en sus caminos, y para guardar sus estatutos y sus mandamientos y sus derechos, y para oír su voz.
18 Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,
Y el SEÑOR te ha ensalzado hoy para que le seas pueblo único, como él te lo ha dicho, y para guardar todos sus mandamientos;
19 and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
y para ponerte alto sobre todos los gentiles que hizo, para loor, y fama, y gloria; y para que seas pueblo santo al SEÑOR tu Dios, como él ha dicho.
