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 shall have entered into the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit it, and you shall have inherited it, and you shall have lived upon it,
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 the fruits of your land, which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put them into a basket, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called 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 come to the priest who shall be in those days, and you shall 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 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 hands, and shall set it 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 he shall answer and say before the Lord your 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 Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron y nos oprimieron, imponiéndonos dura servidumbre.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
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 we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labor, and our affliction.
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 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 y nos trajo a este lugar, entregándonos esta tierra, tierra que mana leche y miel.
And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing 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 of the fruits of the land, which you gave me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and you shall leave it before the Lord your God, and you shall 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 all the good [things], which the Lord your God has given you, [you] and your family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within 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;
And when you shall have completed all the tithings of your fruits in the third year, you shall give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in your cities, and be merry.
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.
And you shall say before the Lord your 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 you did command me: I did not transgress your command, and I did not forget it.
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.
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 listened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as 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 house, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given them, as you did swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing 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.
On this day the Lord your God charged you to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and you shall observe and do them, with all 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 chosen God this day to be your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to listen to 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 chosen you this day that you should be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
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 that you should be above all nations, as he has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has spoken.
