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,

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in 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 some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell 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.’

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”

4 El sacerdote recibirá el canasto de tu mano y lo pondrá delante del altar de Yahvé, tu Dios.

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.

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.

You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

6 Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron y nos oprimieron, imponiéndonos dura servidumbre.

The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labour 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;

Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, 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,

The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, 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, 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;

Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down 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.

You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is amongst 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 finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to 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.

You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of 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 of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I 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 ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, 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.

Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep 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 declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and 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;

The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, 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.”

He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
