Deuteronomio 26

1 Y será que, cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da por heredad, y la poseyeres, y habitares 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 entonces tomarás de las primicias de todos los frutos de la tierra, que sacares de tu tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, y lo pondrás en un canastillo, e irás al lugar que el SEÑOR tu Dios escogiere 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 Y llegarás al sacerdote que fuere en aquellos días, y le dirás: Reconozco hoy al SEÑOR tu Dios que he entrado en la tierra que juró el SEÑOR a nuestros padres que nos había de dar.

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 Y el sacerdote tomará el canastillo de tu mano, y lo pondrá delante del altar del SEÑOR 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 hablarás y dirás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios: Mi padre, el Siro, pereciendo de hambre descendió a Egipto y peregrinó allá con pocos hombres, y allí creció en gente grande, fuerte y numerosa;

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 y los egipcios nos maltrataron, y nos afligieron, y pusieron sobre nosotros dura servidumbre.

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

7 Y clamamos al SEÑOR Dios de nuestros padres; y el SEÑOR oyó nuestra voz, y vio nuestra aflicción, y 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 el SEÑOR de Egipto con mano fuerte, y con brazo extendido, y con grande espanto, y con señales y con milagros;

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, y nos dio esta tierra, 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 Y ahora, he aquí, he traído las primicias del fruto de la tierra que me diste, oh SEÑOR. Y lo dejarás delante del SEÑOR tu Dios, y te inclinarás delante del SEÑOR 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 alegrarás con todo el bien que el SEÑOR tu Dios te hubiere dado a ti y a tu casa, tú y el levita y el extranjero que está 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 diezmar todo el diezmo de tus frutos en el año tercero, el año del diezmo, darás también al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda; y comerán por dentro de tus puertas, y se saciarán.

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 del SEÑOR tu Dios: Yo he sacado lo consagrado de mi casa, y también lo he dado al levita, y al extranjero, y al huérfano, y a la viuda, conforme a todos tus mandamientos que me mandaste; no he pasado de tus mandamientos, ni me he olvidado de ellos.

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 ello en mi luto, ni he sacado de ello estando en inmundicia, ni de ello he dado para mortuorio; he escuchado la voz del SEÑOR mi Dios, he hecho conforme a todo lo que 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 la morada de tu santidad, desde el cielo, y bendice a tu pueblo Israel, y a la tierra que nos has dado, como juraste a nuestros padres, 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 El SEÑOR tu Dios te manda hoy que cumplas estos estatutos y derechos; cuida, pues, de ponerlos por obra 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 Al SEÑOR has ensalzado hoy para que te sea por Dios, y para andar en sus caminos, y para guardar sus estatutos y sus mandamientos y sus derechos, y para oír 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 Y el SEÑOR te ha ensalzado hoy para que le seas pueblo único, como él te lo ha dicho, y para 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 para ponerte alto sobre todos los gentiles que hizo, para loor, y fama, y gloria; y para que seas pueblo santo al SEÑOR 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.
