Deuteronomio 26
1 Cuando entres en la tierra que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da en herencia, la poseas y habites en ella,
And it shall be, when you are come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein;
2 tomarás parte de los primeros frutos de la tierra que traigas de la tierra que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da. Lo pondrás en un cesto, e irás al lugar que Yahvé vuestro Dios elija para hacer habitar allí 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 to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name there.
3 Te acercarás al sacerdote que estará en esos días y le dirás: “Hoy profeso a Yahvé vuestro Dios que he llegado a la tierra que Yahvé juró a nuestros padres que nos daría.”
And you shall go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD your God, that I am come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers for to give us.
4 El sacerdote tomará la canasta de tu mano y la depositará ante el altar de Yahvé vuestro 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 Responderás y dirás ante Yahvé vuestro Dios: “Mi padre era un sirio dispuesto a perecer. Descendió a Egipto y vivió allí, siendo pocos. Allí se convirtió en una nación grande, poderosa y populosa.
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 Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos afligieron y nos impusieron trabajos forzados.
And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
7 Entonces clamamos a Yahvé, el Dios de nuestros padres. Yahvé escuchó nuestra voz y vio nuestra aflicción, nuestro trabajo y nuestra opresión.
And when we cried to the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression:
8 Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano poderosa, con brazo extendido, con gran terror, con señales y con 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 ha traído a este lugar, y nos ha dado esta tierra, una tierra que fluye 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, he aquí que he traído lo primero del fruto de la tierra, que tú, Yahvé, me has dado”. Lo pondrás delante de Yahvé vuestro Dios, y adorarás ante Yahvé vuestro 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 Te alegrarás de todo el bien que Yahvé vuestro Dios te ha dado a ti y a tu casa, a ti, al levita y al extranjero que está entre vosotros.
And you shall rejoice in every good thing which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
12 Cuando hayas terminado de diezmar todo tu producto en el tercer año, que es el año del diezmo, se 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 to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
13 Dirás ante Yahvé vuestro Dios: “He sacado de mi casa las cosas sagradas, y también se las he dado al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, según todo tu mandamiento que me has ordenado. No he transgredido ninguno de tus mandamientos, ni los he olvidado.
Then you shall say before the LORD your God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to 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 él en mi luto, ni he quitado nada de él mientras estaba impuro, ni he dado de él para los muertos. He escuchado la voz de Yahvé, mi Dios. He hecho conforme a todo lo que me has ordenado.
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away anything thereof for any unclean use, nor given anything thereof for the dead: but I have listened 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 tu pueblo Israel y la tierra que nos has dado, como lo juraste a nuestros padres, una tierra que fluye 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 swore to our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.
16 Hoy el Señor, tu Dios, te manda a cumplir estos estatutos y ordenanzas. Por lo tanto, los guardarás y los pondrás en práctica con todo tu corazón y con toda 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 your heart, and with all your soul.
17 Hoy has declarado que Yahvé es tu Dios, y que quieres andar por sus caminos, guardar sus estatutos, sus mandamientos y sus ordenanzas, y escuchar su voz.
You have avouched 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 listen to his voice:
18 Yahvé ha declarado hoy que ustedes son un pueblo para su propiedad, como les ha prometido, y que deben guardar todos sus mandamientos.
And the LORD has avouched you this day to be his peculiar people, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
19 Él te pondrá en alto sobre todas las naciones que ha hecho, en alabanza, en nombre y en honor, y para que seas un pueblo santo para Yahvé vuestro Dios, como él ha dicho.
And to make you high above all nations which he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you may be an holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
