Deuteronomy 26
1 “And it has been, when you come into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and you have possessed it and dwelt in it,
Cuando entres en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da como heredad, la tomes en posesión y vivas en ella,
2 that you have taken from the first of all the fruits of the ground, which you bring in out of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you, and have put [it] in a basket, and gone to the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.
tomarás las primicias de todos los frutos que coseches en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da, las pondrás en una cesta, e irás al lugar que Yavé tu ʼElohim escoja para que more allí su Nombre.
3 And you have come to the priest who is in those days, and have said to him, I have declared to your God YHWH today that I have come into the land which YHWH has sworn to our fathers to give to us;
Te presentarás al sacerdote que ministre en aquellos días, y le dirás: Hoy reconozco ante Yavé tu ʼElohim, que entré en la tierra que Yavé juró a nuestros antepasados que nos daría.
4 and the priest has taken the basket out of your hand and placed it before the altar of your God YHWH.
El sacerdote tomará la cesta de tu mano y la mecerá delante del altar de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
5 And you have answered and said before your God YHWH, My father [is] a perishing Aramean! And he goes down to Egypt, and sojourns there with few men, and becomes a great, mighty, and populous nation there;
Entonces hablarás en presencia de Yavé tu ʼElohim: Un arameo errante fue mi antepasado, el cual con muy pocos hombres bajó a Egipto para vivir allí temporalmente, y allí llegó a ser un pueblo grande, fuerte y numeroso.
6 and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put hard service on us;
Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron, afligieron e impusieron sobre nosotros una dura esclavitud.
7 and we cry to YHWH, God of our fathers, and YHWH hears our voice, and sees our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression;
Entonces clamamos a Yavé, ʼElohim de nuestros antepasados, y Yavé oyó nuestra voz y vio nuestra aflicción, nuestro trabajo forzado y la opresión a la cual estábamos sometidos.
8 and YHWH brings us out from Egypt by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,
Yavé nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte y brazo extendido, con gran terror, señales y milagros,
9 and He brings us to this place, and gives this land to us—a land flowing with milk and honey.
y nos trajo a este lugar y nos dio esta tierra que fluye leche y miel.
10 And now, behold, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which you have given to me, O YHWH. (And you have placed it before your God YHWH, and bowed yourself before your God YHWH,
Ahora, oh Yavé, aquí traigo las primicias del fruto de la tierra que me diste. Las pondrás delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim, y te postrarás delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
11 and rejoiced in all the good which your God YHWH has given to you and to your house—you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in your midst.)
Te regocijarás con todo el bien que Yavé tu ʼElohim te dio, a ti y a tu familia, así como al levita, y al extranjero que está en medio de ti.
12 When you complete to tithe all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then you have given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and been satisfied,
En el tercer año, el año del diezmo, cuando acabes de diezmar el total de tu cosecha, lo darás al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda para que coman en las puertas de tus ciudades y se sacien.
13 and you have said before your God YHWH, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and have also given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Your command which You have commanded me; I have not passed over from Your commands, nor have I forgotten.
Y dirás en presencia de Yavé tu ʼElohim: Aparté de mi casa lo consagrado, y también lo dí al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, según todos los Mandamientos que me ordenaste. No transgredí ni olvidé tus Mandamientos.
14 I have not eaten of it in my affliction, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have listened to the voice of my God YHWH; I have done according to all that You have commanded me;
No comí de ello cuando estuve de luto, ni lo tomé cuando estaba impuro, ni de ello ofrecí a los muertos. Obedecí la voz de Yavé mi ʼElohim. Hice según todo lo que me mandaste.
15 look from Your holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Your people Israel and the ground which You have given to us, as You have sworn to our fathers—a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
Contempla desde tu santa morada, desde los cielos, y bendice a tu pueblo Israel y la tierra que nos diste, como juraste a nuestros antepasados, tierra que fluye leche y miel.
16 This day your God YHWH is commanding you to do these statutes and judgments; and you have listened and done them with all your heart and with all your soul.
Yavé tu ʼElohim te manda hoy que cumplas estos Estatutos y Ordenanzas. Por tanto, tendrás el cuidado de practicarlos con todo tu corazón y toda tu alma.
17 Today you have proclaimed YHWH to be to you for God, that [you are] to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to listen to His voice.
Hoy declaraste solemnemente que Yavé es tu ʼElohim, que andarás en sus caminos, guardarás sus Estatutos, Mandamientos y Ordenanzas, y escucharás su voz.
18 And today YHWH has proclaimed you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, as He has spoken to you, that [you are] to keep all His commands,
Hoy Yavé declaró que eres pueblo de su exclusiva posesión, como te prometió, para que guardes todos sus Mandamientos,
19 so as to make you highest above all the nations whom He has made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for your being a holy people to your God YHWH, as He has spoken.”
a fin de que Él te eleve por encima de todas las naciones que hizo, para alabanza, fama y gloria, y con el propósito de que seas un pueblo santo para Yavé tu ʼElohim, como Él habló.
