Deuteronomii 26
1 Cumque intraveris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi daturus est possidendam, et obtinueris eam, atque habitaveris in ea:
And it shall be when thou shalt have entered into the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit it, and thou shalt have inherited it, and thou shalt have dwelt upon 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 thou shalt take of the first of the fruits of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee, and thou shalt put them into a basket, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called 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.
And thou shalt come to the priest who shall be in those days, and thou shalt say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.
4 Suscipiensque sacerdos cartallum de manu eius, ponet ante altare Domini Dei tui:
And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord thy God:
5 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 ac robustam et infinitae multitudinis.
and he shall answer and say before the Lord thy God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
6 Afflixeruntque nos Aegyptii, et persecuti sunt imponentes onera gravissima:
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
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 our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labour, and our affliction.
8 et eduxit nos de Aegypto in manu forti, et brachio extento, in ingenti pavore, in signis atque portentis:
And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.
9 et introduxit ad locum istum, et tradidit nobis Terram lacte et melle manantem.
And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Et idcirco nunc offero primitias frugum Terrae, quam Dominus dedit mihi. Et dimittes eas in conspectu Domini Dei tui, et adorato Domino Deo tuo.
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which thou gavest me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and thou shalt leave it before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt worship before the Lord thy God;
11 Epulaberis in omnibus bonis, quae Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi, et domui tuae, tu et Levites, et advena qui tecum est.
and thou shalt rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord thy God has given thee, [thou] and thy family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within thee.
12 Quando compleveris decimam cunctarum frugum tuarum, anno decimarum tertio dabis Levitae, et advenae, et pupillo et viduae, ut comedant intra portas tuas, et saturentur.
And when thou shalt have completed all the tithings of thy fruits in the third year, thou shalt give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in thy cities, and be merry.
13 loquerisque in conspectu Domini Deo tui: Abstuli quod sanctificatum est de domo mea, et dedi illud Levitae et advenae, et pupillo ac viduae, sicut iussisti mihi: non praeterivi mandata tua, nec sum oblitus imperii tui.
And thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which thou didst command me: I did not transgress thy command, and I did not forget it.
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 praecepisti mihi.
And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
15 Respice de sanctuario tuo, et de excelso caelorum habitaculo, et benedic populo tuo Israel, et Terrae, quam dedisti nobis, sicut iurasti patribus nostris, terrae lacte et melle mananti.
Look down from thy holy house, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given them, as thou didst swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
16 Hodie Dominus Deus tuus praecepit tibi ut facias mandata haec atque iudicia: ut custodias et impleas ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua.
On this day the Lord thy God charged thee to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and ye shall observe 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, ut custodias ceremonias illius, et mandata atque iudicia, et obedias eius imperio.
Thou hast chosen God this day to be thy God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to hearken to his voice.
18 En Dominus elegit te hodie ut sis ei populus peculiaris, sicut locutus est tibi, et custodias omnia praecepta illius:
And the Lord has chosen thee this day that thou shouldest be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
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 that thou shouldest be above all nations, as he has made thee renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that thou shouldest be a holy people to the Lord thy God, as he has spoken.
