Deuteronomio 26
1 Cuando entres en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da como heredad, la tomes en posesión y vivas 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 las primicias de todos los frutos que coseches en la tierra que Yavé tu ʼElohim te da, las pondrás en una cesta, e irás al lugar que Yavé tu ʼElohim escoja para que more 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 presentarás al sacerdote que ministre en aquellos días, y le dirás: Hoy reconozco ante Yavé tu ʼElohim, que entré en la tierra que Yavé juró a nuestros antepasados 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 cesta de tu mano y la mecerá delante del altar de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
And the priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD your God.
5 Entonces hablarás en presencia de Yavé tu ʼElohim: Un arameo errante fue mi antepasado, el cual con muy pocos hombres bajó a Egipto para vivir allí temporalmente, y allí llegó a ser un pueblo grande, fuerte y numeroso.
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 Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron, afligieron e impusieron sobre nosotros una dura esclavitud.
And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:
7 Entonces clamamos a Yavé, ʼElohim de nuestros antepasados, y Yavé oyó nuestra voz y vio nuestra aflicción, nuestro trabajo forzado y la opresión a la cual estábamos sometidos.
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 Yavé nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte y brazo extendido, con gran terror, señales y milagros,
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 trajo a este lugar y nos dio esta 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, oh Yavé, aquí traigo las primicias del fruto de la tierra que me diste. Las pondrás delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim, y te postrarás delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
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 regocijarás con todo el bien que Yavé tu ʼElohim te dio, a ti y a tu familia, así como al levita, y al extranjero que está en medio de ti.
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 En el tercer año, el año del diezmo, cuando acabes de diezmar el total de tu cosecha, lo darás al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda para que coman en las puertas de tus ciudades 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 Y dirás en presencia de Yavé tu ʼElohim: Aparté de mi casa lo consagrado, y también lo dí al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, según todos los Mandamientos que me ordenaste. No transgredí ni olvidé tus Mandamientos.
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 comí de ello cuando estuve de luto, ni lo tomé cuando estaba impuro, ni de ello ofrecí a los muertos. Obedecí la voz de Yavé mi ʼElohim. Hice según todo lo que me mandaste.
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 Contempla desde tu santa morada, desde los cielos, y bendice a tu pueblo Israel y la tierra que nos diste, como juraste a nuestros antepasados, 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 Yavé tu ʼElohim te manda hoy que cumplas estos Estatutos y Ordenanzas. Por tanto, tendrás el cuidado de practicarlos con todo tu corazón y 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 declaraste solemnemente que Yavé es tu ʼElohim, que andarás en sus caminos, guardarás sus Estatutos, Mandamientos y Ordenanzas, y escucharás 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 Hoy Yavé declaró que eres pueblo de su exclusiva posesión, como te prometió, para que guardes 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 a fin de que Él te eleve por encima de todas las naciones que hizo, para alabanza, fama y gloria, y con el propósito de que seas un pueblo santo para Yavé tu ʼElohim, como Él habló.
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.
