Deuteronomy 26
1 It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell 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 shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, 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 You shall come to the cohen who shall be in those days, and tell him, "I profess this day to the LORD my God, that I have come into the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give 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 The cohen shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
El sacerdote tomará la cesta de tu mano y la mecerá delante del altar de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
5 You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, "A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.
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 The Egyptians mistreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron, afligieron e impusieron sobre nosotros una dura esclavitud.
7 and we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, 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 the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;
Yavé nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte y brazo extendido, con gran terror, señales y milagros,
9 and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
y nos trajo a este lugar y nos dio esta tierra que fluye leche y miel.
10 Now, look, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, LORD, have given me." You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
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 you shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.
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 have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.
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 You shall say before the LORD your God, "I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
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 mourning, neither have I put away of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: I have listened to the voice of the LORD my God; 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 down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore 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 the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do 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 You have declared the LORD this day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and 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 the LORD has declared you this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
Hoy Yavé declaró que eres pueblo de su exclusiva posesión, como te prometió, para que guardes todos sus Mandamientos,
19 and to make you high above all nations that he has made, for fame, and for praise, and for honor; and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, 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.
