Deuteronomii 26

1 Cumque intraveris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi daturus est possidendam, et obtinueris eam, atque habitaveris in ea:

And it shall come to pass, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and thou hast taken possession of it, and dwellest therein:

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 all the fruit of the soil, which thou shalt bring in from thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket; and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name 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.

And thou shalt come unto the priest that may be in those days, and thou shalt say unto him, I give thanks this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land which the Lord swore unto 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 thy hand, and set it down 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 thou shalt commence and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian, wandering about, was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a family few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

6 Afflixeruntque nos Aegyptii, et persecuti sunt imponentes onera gravissima:

And the Egyptians treated us ill, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard labor;

7 et clamavimus ad Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum: qui exaudivit nos, et respexit humilitatem nostram, et laborem, atque angustiam:

And then we cried unto the Eternal, the God of our fathers; and the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our trouble, and our oppression;

8 et eduxit nos de Aegypto 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 brought us unto this place, and gave unto 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 soil, which thou hast given me, O Lord; and thou shalt set it down before the Lord thy God, and prostrate thyself 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 with every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, with the Levite, and the stranger that is in the midst of 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.

When thou hast made an end of giving away all the tithe of thy produce in the third year, the year of the tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten it within thy gates, and are satisfied:

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.

Then shalt thou say before the Lord thy God, I have removed away the hallowed things out of the house, and I have also given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not deviated from thy commandments, and I have not forgotten;

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.

I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I removed away aught thereof in an unclean state, nor have I given aught thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, I have done all, just 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 the habitation of thy holiness, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the soil which thou hast given unto us, as thou hast sworn unto our fathers, 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.

This day the Lord thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances; and thou shalt keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy 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 this day acknowledged the Lord, that he is thy God, and that thou wilt walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto 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 hath acknowledged thee this day, that thou art unto him a peculiar people, as he hath spoken unto thee, and that thou shouldst 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.

So that he may set thee highest above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
