Deuteronomio 26
1 Cuando hubieres entrado en el país que Yahvé, tu Dios, te va a dar en herencia, y cuando después de tomarlo en posesión habitares en él,
And it shall be, when you are come in unto the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein;
2 tomarás de las primicias de todos los frutos de la tierra que cosechares en el país que Yahvé, tu Dios, te dé, y las pondrás en un canasto, e irás al lugar que Yahvé, tu Dios, haya elegido para morada de su nombre.
That you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which you shall bring of your land that the LORD your God gives you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name there.
3 Allí te presentaras al sacerdote que fuere por entonces, y le dirás: ‘Yo confieso hoy a Yahvé, tu Dios, que he entrado en el país que Yahvé juró a nuestros padres que nos daría.’
And you shall go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD your God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD swore unto our fathers in order to give us.
4 El sacerdote recibirá el canasto de tu mano y lo pondrá delante del altar de Yahvé, tu Dios.
And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
5 Entonces tomarás la palabra y dirás en presencia de Yahvé, tu Dios: ‘Un arameo errante fue mi padre, el cual con muy poca gente bajó a Egipto y vivió allí como extranjero, y allí vino a ser un pueblo grande, fuerte y numeroso.
And you shall speak and say before the LORD your God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
6 Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron y nos oprimieron, imponiéndonos dura servidumbre.
And the Egyptians evil pleaded us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
7 Y clamamos a Yahvé, el Dios de nuestros padres, y Yahvé oyó nuestra voz, y miró nuestra miseria, nuestro trabajo y nuestra opresión;
And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
8 y nos sacó Yahvé de Egipto con mano poderosa y con brazo extendido, en medio de terrores estupendos, con señales y prodigios,
And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
9 y nos trajo a este lugar, entregándonos esta tierra, tierra que mana leche y miel.
And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.
10 Ahora, pues, he aquí que ofrezco las primicias de los frutos de la tierra que Tú, Yahvé, me has dado.’ Y las pondrás delante de Yahvé, tu Dios, y te prosternarás ante Yahvé, tu Dios;
And now, behold, I have brought the first-fruits of the land, which you, O LORD, have given me. And you shall set it before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God:
11 y te regocijarás por todo el bien que Yahvé, tu Dios, te ha dado a ti y a tu casa, así tú como el levita y el extranjero que moran en medio de ti.
And you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given unto you, and unto your house, you, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
12 Cuando hubieres acabado de separar el diezmo de todos tus frutos en el año tercero, el año del diezmo, lo darás al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, para que coman dentro de tus puertas y se sacien;
When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
13 y dirás delante de Yahvé, tu Dios: ‘He sacado de mi casa las cosas consagradas (a Dios), y las he dado al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, conforme a todo lo que me has mandado; no he traspasado en nada tus mandamientos ni los he olvidado.
Then you shall say before the LORD your God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandments which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
14 No he comido de ellas cuando estaba de luto, no he sacado nada de ellas en estado de impureza ni dado para un muerto. He obedecido la voz de Yahvé, mi Dios; he hecho conforme a cuanto me has mandado.
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that you have commanded me.
15 Mira desde tu santa morada, desde el cielo, y bendice a Israel, tu pueblo, y a la tierra que nos has dado, como juraste a nuestros padres, tierra que mana leche y miel.’
Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given us, as you sware unto our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.
16 Hoy Yahvé, tu Dios, te manda que cumplas estas leyes y preceptos; los observarás y los pondrás en práctica con todo tu corazón y con todo tu alma.
This day the LORD your God has commanded you to do these statutes and judgments: you shall therefore keep and do them with all of your heart, and with all your soul.
17 Hoy has hecho declarar a Yahvé que Él será tu Dios y que tú tienes que andar en sus caminos, guardar sus leyes, sus mandamientos y sus preceptos, y escuchar su voz.
You have stand as a witness to the LORD this day to be your God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18 Hoy Yahvé te ha hecho confesar que tú eres un pueblo particular suyo, como te lo ha prometido, y que has de guardar todos sus mandamientos;
And the LORD has stand as a witness to you this day to be his exclusive people, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
19 y Él te elevará a gloria, honor y esplendor, sobre todos los pueblos que ha hecho, y serás un pueblo santo para Yahvé, tu Dios, como Él ha dicho.”
And to make you high above all nations which he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that you may be an holy people unto the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
