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 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 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 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 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 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 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 hands, and shall set it 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 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 Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos afligieron y nos impusieron trabajos forzados.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
7 Entonces clamamos a Yahvé, el Dios de nuestros padres. Yahvé escuchó nuestra voz y vio nuestra aflicción, 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 Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano poderosa, con brazo extendido, con gran terror, con señales y con 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 ha traído a este lugar, y nos ha dado esta tierra, una tierra que fluye leche y miel.
And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 chosen you this day that you should be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
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 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.
