Deuteronomy 26

New American Bible	La Biblia
¹ "When you have come into the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you as a heritage, and have occupied it and settled in it,	¹ Cuando entres en la tierra que el Señor, tu Dios, va a darte en heredad, cuando la tomes en posesión y habites en ella,
² you shall take some first fruits of the various products of the soil which you harvest from the land which the LORD, your God, gives you, and putting them in a basket, you shall go to the place which the LORD, your God, chooses for the dwelling place of his name.	² tomarás una parte de las primicias de todos los frutos que coseches de la tierra que va a darte el Señor, tu Dios, las meterás en una cesta, irás al lugar que el Señor, tu Dios, haya elegido para morada de su nombre,
³ There you shall go to the priest in office at that time and say to him, 'Today I acknowledge to the LORD, my God, that I have indeed come into the land which he swore to our fathers he would give us.'	³ te presentarás al sacerdote que esté en funciones por aquellos días y le dirás: “Declaro hoy al Señor, mi Dios, que he entrado en la tierra que el Señor juró a nuestros padres que nos daría”.
⁴ The priest shall then receive the basket from you and shall set it in front of the altar of the LORD, your God.	⁴ El sacerdote tomará de tu mano la cesta y la pondrá ante el altar del Señor, tu Dios.
⁵ Then you shall declare before the LORD, your God, 'My father was a wandering Aramean who went down to Egypt with a small household and lived there as an alien. But there he became a nation great, strong and numerous.	⁵ Entonces tomarás la palabra y dirás ante el Señor, tu Dios: “Mi padre fue un arameo errante, que bajó a Egipto, y se estableció allí como emigrante, con pocas personas, pero allí se convirtió en un pueblo grande, fuerte y numeroso.
⁶ When the Egyptians maltreated and oppressed us, imposing hard labor upon us,	⁶ Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos oprimieron y nos impusieron una dura esclavitud.
⁷ we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers, and he heard our cry and saw our affliction, our toil and our oppression.	⁷ Entonces clamamos al Señor, Dios de nuestros padres, y el Señor escuchó nuestros gritos, miró nuestra indefensión, nuestra angustia y nuestra opresión.
⁸ He brought us out of Egypt with his strong hand and outstretched arm, with terrifying power, with signs and wonders;	⁸ El Señor nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte y brazo extendido, en medio de gran terror, con signos y prodigios,
⁹ and bringing us into this country, he gave us this land flowing with milk and honey.	⁹ y nos trajo a este lugar, y nos dio esta tierra, una tierra que mana leche y miel.
¹⁰ Therefore, I have now brought you the first fruits of the products of the soil which you, O LORD, have given me.' And having set them before the LORD, your God, you shall bow down in his presence.	¹⁰ Por eso, ahora traigo aquí las primicias de los frutos del suelo que tú, Señor, me has dado”. Los pondrás ante el Señor, tu Dios, y te postrarás en presencia del Señor, tu Dios.
¹¹ Then you and your family, together with the Levite and the aliens who live among you, shall make merry over all these good things which the LORD, your God, has given you.	¹¹ Y te regocijarás con el levita y el emigrante que vivan en tu vecindad, por todos los bienes que el Señor, tu Dios, te haya dado, a ti y a tu casa.
¹² "When you have finished setting aside all the tithes of your produce in the third year, the year of the tithes, and you have given them to the Levite, the alien, the orphan and the widow, that they may eat their fill in your own community,	¹² Cada tres años, el año del diezmo, cuando termines de separar el diezmo de todas tus cosechas y se lo hayas dado al levita, al emigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda, para que coman hasta saciarse en tus ciudades,
¹³ you shall declare before the LORD, your God, 'I have purged my house of the sacred portion and I have given it to the Levite, the alien, the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. In this I have not broken or forgotten any of your commandments:	¹³ dirás ante el Señor, tu Dios: “He apartado de mi casa lo consagrado; se lo he dado al levita, al emigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda, conforme al precepto que me mandaste. No he quebrantado ni olvidado ningún precepto.
¹⁴ I have not eaten any of the tithe as a mourner; I have not brought any of it out as one unclean; I have not offered any of it to the dead. I have thus hearkened to the voice of the LORD, my God, doing just as you have commanded me.	¹⁴ No he comido de ello estando de luto, ni lo he apartado estando impuro, ni se lo he ofrecido a un muerto. He escuchado la voz del Señor, mi Dios, he cumplido lo que me mandaste.
¹⁵ Look down, then, from heaven, your holy abode, and bless your people Israel and the soil you have given us in the land flowing with milk and honey which you promised on oath to our fathers.'	¹⁵ Mira desde tu santa morada, desde el cielo, y bendice a tu pueblo, Israel, y a esta tierra que nos diste, como habías jurado a nuestros padres, una tierra que mana leche y miel”.
¹⁶ "This day the LORD, your God, commands you to observe these statutes and decrees. Be careful, then, to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.	¹⁶ Hoy el Señor, tu Dios, te manda que cumplas estos mandatos y decretos. Acátalos y cúmplelos con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.
¹⁷ Today you are making this agreement with the LORD: he is to be your God and you are to walk in his ways and observe his statutes, commandments and decrees, and to hearken to his voice.	¹⁷ Hoy has elegido al Señor para que él sea tu Dios y tú vayas por sus caminos, observes sus mandatos, preceptos y decretos, y escuches su voz.
¹⁸ And today the LORD is making this agreement with you: you are to be a people peculiarly his own, as he promised you; and provided you keep all his commandments,	¹⁸ Y el Señor te ha elegido para que seas su propio pueblo, como te prometió, y observes todos sus preceptos.
¹⁹ he will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory above all other nations he has made, and you will be a people sacred to the LORD, your God, as he promised."	¹⁹ Él te elevará en gloria, nombre y esplendor, por encima de todas las naciones que ha hecho, y serás el pueblo santo del Señor, tu Dios, como prometió».
