Deuteronomy 26

1 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.

'And it hath been, when thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and thou hast possessed it, and dwelt in it,

2 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.

that thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put [it] in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

3 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.

'And thou hast come in unto the priest who is in those days, and hast said unto him, I have declared to-day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come in unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to our fathers to give to us;

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

and the priest hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah thy God.

5 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.

'And thou hast answered and said before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean [is] my father! and he goeth down to Egypt, and sojourneth there with few men, and becometh there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous;

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

and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;

7 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.

and we cry unto Jehovah, God of our fathers, and Jehovah heareth our voice, and seeth our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;

8 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.

and Jehovah bringeth us out from Egypt, by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,

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

and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to us this land — a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 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.

'And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; — and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy God,

11 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.

and rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in thy midst.

12 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.

'When thou dost complete to tithe all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then thou hast given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within thy gates, and been satisfied,

13 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].

and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.

14 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.

I have not eaten in mine affliction of it, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me;

15 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.

look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn to our fathers — a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

16 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.

'This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

17 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.

Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice.

18 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.

'And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and to keep all His commands;

19 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.

so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken.
