Deuteronomii 26
1 Cumque intraveris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi daturus est possidendam, et obtinueris eam, atque habitaveris in ea:
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,
2 tolles de cunctis frugibus tuis primitias, et pones in cartallo, pergesque ad locum, quem Dominus Deus tuus elegerit, ut ibi invocetur nomen eius:
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.
3 accedesque ad sacerdotem, qui fuerit in diebus illis, et dices ad eum: Profiteor hodie coram Domino Deo tuo, quod ingressus sum in Terram, pro qua iuravit patribus nostris, ut daret eam nobis.
You shall come to the priest 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."
4 Suscipiensque sacerdos cartallum de manu tua, ponet ante altare Domini Dei tui:
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
5 et loqueris in conspectu Domini Dei tui: Syrus persequebatur patrem meum, qui descendit in Ægyptum, et ibi peregrinatus est in paucissimo numero: crevitque in gentem magnam ac robustam et infinitæ multitudinis.
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.
6 Afflixeruntque nos Ægyptii, et persecuti sunt imponentes onera gravissima:
The Egyptians mistreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
7 et clamavimus ad Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum: qui exaudivit nos, et respexit humilitatem nostram, et laborem, atque angustiam:
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;
8 et eduxit nos de Ægypto in manu forti, et brachio extento, in ingenti pavore, in signis atque portentis:
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;
9 et introduxit ad locum istum, et tradidit nobis Terram lacte et melle manantem.
and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Et idcirco nunc offero primitias frugum Terræ, quam Dominus dedit mihi. Et dimittes eas in conspectu Domini Dei tui, et adorato Domino Deo tuo.
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.
11 Et epulaberis in omnibus bonis, quæ Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi, et domui tuæ, tu et Levites, et advena qui tecum est.
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.
12 Quando compleveris decimam cunctarum frugum tuarum, anno decimarum tertio dabis Levitæ, et advenæ, et pupillo et viduæ, ut comedant intra portas tuas, et saturentur.
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.
13 loquerisque in conspectu Domini Deo tui: Abstuli quod sanctificatum est de domo mea, et dedi illud Levitæ et advenæ, et pupillo ac viduæ, sicut iussisti mihi: non præterivi mandata tua, nec sum oblitus imperii tui.
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:
14 Non comedi ex eis in luctu meo, nec separavi ea in qualibet immunditia, nec expendi ex his quidquam in re funebri. Obedivi voci Domini Dei mei, et feci omnia sicut præcepisti mihi.
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.
15 Respice de sanctuario tuo, et de excelso cælorum habitaculo, et benedic populo tuo Israel, et Terræ, quam dedisti nobis, sicut iurasti patribus nostris, terræ lacte et melle mananti.
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."
16 Hodie Dominus Deus tuus præcepit tibi ut facias mandata hæc atque iudicia: et custodias et impleas ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua.
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.
17 Dominum elegisti hodie, ut sit tibi Deus, et ambules in viis eius, et custodias ceremonias illius, et mandata atque iudicia, et obedias eius imperio.
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:
18 et Dominus elegit te hodie ut sis ei populus peculiaris, sicut locutus est tibi, et custodias omnia præcepta illius:
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;
19 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.
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.
