Deuteronomio 26

1 Cuando entres en la tierra que Yahvé vuestro Dios te da en herencia, la poseas y habites en ella,

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 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 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 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.”

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 tomará la canasta de tu mano y la depositará ante el altar de Yahvé vuestro Dios.

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

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.

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 Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos afligieron y nos impusieron trabajos forzados.

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

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 Yahvé nos sacó de Egipto con mano poderosa, con brazo extendido, con gran terror, con señales y con 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 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, 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, 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.

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 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 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 Yahvé ha declarado hoy que ustedes son un pueblo para su propiedad, como les ha prometido, y que deben 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 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.

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.
