Deuteronomii 26
1 Cumque intraveris Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi daturus est possidendam, et obtinueris eam, atque habitaveris in ea:
'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 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 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 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 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 Suscipiensque sacerdos cartallum de manu eius, ponet ante altare Domini Dei tui:
and the priest hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah 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 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 Afflixeruntque nos Aegyptii, et persecuti sunt imponentes onera gravissima:
and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;
7 et clamavimus ad Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum: qui exaudivit nos, et respexit humilitatem nostram, et laborem, atque angustiam:
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 et eduxit nos de Aegypto in manu forti, et brachio extento, in ingenti pavore, in signis atque portentis:
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 et introduxit ad locum istum, et tradidit nobis Terram lacte et melle manantem.
and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to 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, 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 Epulaberis in omnibus bonis, quae Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi, et domui tuae, tu et Levites, et advena qui tecum est.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Dominum elegisti hodie, ut sit tibi Deus, et ambules in viis eius, ut custodias ceremonias illius, et mandata atque iudicia, et obedias eius imperio.
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 En Dominus elegit te hodie ut sis ei populus peculiaris, sicut locutus est tibi, et custodias omnia praecepta illius:
'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 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 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.
