Deuteronomy 26
1 When you have come into the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, and when you possess it and live in it,
cumque intraveris terram quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi daturus est possidendam et obtinueris eam atque habitaveris in illa
2 then you must take some of the first of all the harvest of the land that you have brought in from the land that Yahweh your God is giving you. You must put it in a basket and go to the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary.
tolles de cunctis frugibus primitias et pones in cartallo pergesque ad locum quem Dominus Deus tuus elegerit ut ibi invocetur nomen eius
3 You must go to the priest who will be serving in those days and say to him, 'I acknowledge today to Yahweh your God that I have come to the land that Yahweh swore to our ancestors to give us.'
accedesque ad sacerdotem qui fuerit in diebus illis et dices ad eum profiteor hodie coram Domino Deo tuo quod ingressus sim terram pro qua iuravit patribus nostris ut daret eam nobis
4 The priest must take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of Yahweh your God.
suscipiensque sacerdos cartallum de manu eius ponet ante altare Domini Dei tui
5 You must say before Yahweh your God, 'My ancestor was a wandering Aramean. He went down into Egypt and stayed there, and his people were few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
et loqueris in conspectu Domini Dei tui Syrus persequebatur patrem meum qui descendit in Aegyptum et ibi peregrinatus est in paucissimo numero crevitque in gentem magnam et robustam et infinitae multitudinis
6 The Egyptians treated us badly and afflicted us. They made us do the work of slaves.
adflixeruntque nos Aegyptii et persecuti sunt inponentes onera gravissima
7 We cried out to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and he heard our voice and saw our affliction, our labor, and our oppression.
et clamavimus ad Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum qui exaudivit nos et respexit humilitatem nostram et laborem atque angustias
8 Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great fearsomeness, with signs, and with wonders;
et eduxit nos de Aegypto in manu forti et brachio extento in ingenti pavore in signis atque portentis
9 and he has brought us to this place and has given us this land, a land that flows with milk and honey.
et introduxit ad locum istum et tradidit nobis terram lacte et melle manantem
10 Now look, I have brought the first of the harvest of the land that you, Yahweh, have given me.' You must set it down before Yahweh your God and worship before him;
et idcirco nunc offero primitias frugum terrae quam dedit Dominus mihi et dimittes eas in conspectu Domini Dei tui adorato Domino Deo tuo
11 and you must rejoice in all the good that Yahweh your God has done for you, for your house—you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.
et epulaberis in omnibus bonis quae Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi et domui tuae tu et Levites et advena qui tecum est
12 When you have finished giving all the tithe of your harvest in the third year, that is, the year of tithing, then you must give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your city gates and be filled.
quando conpleveris decimam cunctarum frugum tuarum anno decimarum tertio dabis Levitae et advenae et pupillo et viduae ut comedant intra portas tuas et saturentur
13 You must say before Yahweh your God, 'I have brought out of my house the things that belong to Yahweh, and have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments that you have given me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
loquerisque in conspectu Domini Dei tui abstuli quod sanctificatum est de domo mea et dedi illud Levitae et advenae pupillo et viduae sicut iussisti mihi non praeterivi mandata tua nec sum oblitus imperii
14 I have not eaten any of it in my mourning, nor have I put it somewhere else when I was impure, nor have I given any of it in honor of the dead. I have listened to the voice of Yahweh my God; I have obeyed everything you have commanded me to do.
non comedi ex eis in luctu meo nec separavi ea in qualibet inmunditia nec expendi ex his quicquam in re funebri oboedivi voci Domini Dei mei et feci omnia sicut praecepisti mihi
15 Look down from the holy place where you live, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land that you have given us, as you had sworn to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.'
respice de sanctuario tuo de excelso caelorum habitaculo et benedic populo tuo Israhel et terrae quam dedisti nobis sicut iurasti patribus nostris terrae lacte et melle mananti
16 Today Yahweh your God is commanding you to obey these statutes and decrees; you will therefore keep them and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
hodie Dominus Deus tuus praecepit tibi ut facias mandata haec atque iudicia et custodias et impleas ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua
17 You have declared today that Yahweh is your God, and that you will walk in his ways and keep his statutes, his commandments, and his decrees, and that you will listen to his voice.
Dominum elegisti hodie ut sit tibi Deus et ambules in viis eius et custodias caerimonias illius et mandata atque iudicia et oboedias eius imperio
18 Today Yahweh has declared that you are a people who are his own possession, as he had promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments,
et Dominus elegit te hodie ut sis ei populus peculiaris sicut locutus est tibi et custodias omnia praecepta eius
19 and he will set you high above all the other nations that he has made, and you will receive praise, fame, and honor. You will be a people that is set apart to Yahweh your God, just as he said.”
et faciat te excelsiorem cunctis gentibus quas creavit in laudem et nomen et gloriam suam ut sis populus sanctus Domini Dei tui sicut locutus est
