< Piektā Mozus 26 >
1 Un kad tu nāksi tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos iemantot, un tu to dabūsi un tur dzīvosi,
“After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) there,
2 Tad tev būs ņemt no visiem zemes augļu pirmajiem, ko tu ievāksi no savas zemes, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dos, un tev tos būs likt kurvī un iet uz to vietu, ko Tas Kungs, tavs, Dievs izredzēs, ka Viņa vārds tur mājo.
[each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.
3 Un tev būs iet pie tā priestera, kas tai laikā būs, un uz viņu sacīt: es šodien apliecināju priekš Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, ka es esmu ienācis tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs mūsu tēviem ir zvērējis, mums dot.
Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’
4 Tad tam priesterim no tavas rokas būs ņemt to kurvi un to likt priekš Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, altāra.
Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our God.
5 Un tev priekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, būs atbildēt un sacīt: mans tēvs bija izģindis Sīrietis un nogāja uz Ēģiptes zemi un piemita tur ar mazu ļaužu pulciņu, un tur palika par lielu, stipru un varenu tautu.
Then in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.
6 Bet ēģiptieši mums darīja ļaunu un mūs spieda un mums uzlika grūtu kalpošanu.
Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.
7 Tad mēs brēcām uz To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, un Tas Kungs paklausīja mūsu balsi un ieraudzīja mūsu bēdas un mūsu grūtumu un mūsu spaidus.
Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.
8 Un Tas Kungs mūs izveda no Ēģiptes zemes caur stipru roku un izstieptu elkoni un caur lielu iztrūcināšanu un caur zīmēm un brīnumiem.
Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.
9 Un Viņš mūs ir vedis uz šo vietu, un mums devis šo zemi, zemi, kur piens un medus tek.
You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
10 Un nu redzi, es esmu atnesis augļu pirmajus no tās zemes, ko Tas Kungs man ir devis. - Tad tev tos būs atstāt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā un pielūgt To Kungu, savu Dievu,
So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.
11 Un tev būs priecāties par visu to labumu, ko Tas Kungs devis tev un tavam namam, tev un tavam Levitam un tavam piedzīvotājam, kas ir tavā vidū.
And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.
12 Kad tu būsi atdevis to desmito tiesu no visiem saviem augļiem trešā gadā, šis ir tās desmitās tiesas gads, un būsi devis Levitam, piedzīvotājam, bāriņam un atraitnei, ka tie tavos vārtos ēd un ir paēduši,
Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.
13 Tad tev priekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vaiga būs sacīt: es to, kas svētīts, no nama esmu iznesis un esmu to arī devis Levitam un piedzīvotājam, bāriņam un atraitnei pēc visām Tavām pavēlēm, ko Tu man esi pavēlējis; Tavas pavēles es neesmu ne pārkāpis, ne aizmirsis.
Then you must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].
14 Es no tā neesmu ēdis savā skumībā un no tā neesmu neko atrāvis, kad biju nešķīsts, es no tā arī neesmu devis priekš miruša; es Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij esmu klausījis, es esmu darījis, tā kā Tu man esi pavēlējis.
[I declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].
15 Skaties zemē no Savas svētās vietas, no debesīm, un svētī Savus Israēla ļaudis un to zemi, ko Tu mums esi devis, kā Tu mūsu tēviem esi zvērējis, zemi, kur piens un medus tek. -
So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’
16 Šinī dienā Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev pavēl šos likumus un šās tiesas darīt; tad nu turi un dari tos no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles.
Today Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].
17 Šodien tu Tam Kungam esi sacījis, lai Viņš tev ir par Dievu un ka tu gribi staigāt visos Viņa ceļos un turēt Viņa likumus un Viņa baušļus un Viņa tiesas, un klausīt Viņa balsij.
Today you have declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.
18 Un Tas Kungs tev šodien ir sacījis, lai tu Viņam esi par īpašu tautu, kā Viņš tev runājis, un lai tu turi visus Viņa baušļus;
And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.
19 Un ka Viņš tevi augsti cels pār visām tautām, ko Viņš ir darījis, par teikšanu un par slavu un par godu, un ka tu būsi svēta tauta Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, kā Viņš runājis.
If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”
