Deuteronomio 26

BIBLIA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Cuando llegues a la tierra que Yahveh tu Dios te da en herencia, cuando la poseas y habites en ella,	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,
2 tomarás las primicias de todos los productos del suelo que coseches en la tierra que Yahveh tu Dios te da, las pondrás en una cesta, y las llevarás al lugar elegido por Yahveh tu Dios para morada de su nombre.	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.
3 Te presentarás al sacerdote que esté entonces en funciones y le dirás: «Yo declaro hoy a Yahveh mi Dios que he llegado a la tierra que Yahveh juró a nuestros padres que nos daría».	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.'
4 El sacerdote tomará de tu mano la cesta y la depositará ante el altar de Yahveh tu Dios.	4 The priest shall then receive the basket from you and shall set it in front of the altar of the LORD, your God.
5 Tú pronunciarás estas palabras ante Yahveh tu Dios: «Mi padre era un arameo errante que bajó a Egipto y residió allí como inmigrante siendo pocos aún, pero se hizo una nación grande, fuerte y numerosa.	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.
6 Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos oprimieron y nos impusieron dura servidumbre.	6 When the Egyptians maltreated and oppressed us, imposing hard labor upon us,
7 Nosotros clamanos a Yahveh Dios de nuestros padres, y Yahveh escuchó nuestra voz; vio nuestra miseria, nuestras penalidades y nuestra opresión,	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.
8 y Yahveh nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte y tenso brazo en medio de gran terror, señales y prodigios.	8 He brought us out of Egypt with his strong hand and outstretched arm, with terrifying power, with signs and wonders;
9 Nos trajo aquí y nos dio esta tierra, tierra que mana leche y miel	9 and bringing us into this country, he gave us this land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Y ahora yo traigo las primicias de los productos del suelo que tú, Yahveh, me has dado». Las depositarás ante Yahveh tu Dios y te postrarás ante Yahveh tu Dios.	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.
11 Luego te regocijarás por todos los bienes que Yahveh tu Dios te haya dado a ti y a tu casa, y también se regocijará el levita y el forastero que viven en medio de ti.	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.
12 El tercer año, el año del diezmo, cuando hayas acabado de apartar el diezmo de toda tu cosecha y se lo hayas dado al levita, al forastero, a la viuda y al huérfano, para que coman de ello en tus ciudades hasta saciarse,	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,
13 dirás en presencia de Yahveh tu Dios: «He retirado de mi casa lo que era sagrado; se lo he dado al levita, al forastero, al huérfano y a la viuda, según todos los mandamientos que me has dado sin traspasar ninguno de tus mandamientos ni olvidarlos.	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:
14 Nada de ello he comido estando en duelo, nada he retirado hallándome impuro, nada he ofrecido a un muerto. He escuchado la voz de Yahveh mi Dios y he obrado conforme a todo lo que me has mandado.	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.
15 Desde la morada de tu santidad, desde lo alto de los cielos, contempla y bendice a tu pueblo Israel, así como al suelo que nos has dado como habías jurado a nuestros padres, tierra que mana leche y miel».	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.'
16 Yahveh tu Dios te manda hoy practicar estos preceptos y estas normas; las guardarás y las practicarás con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.	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.
17 Has hecho decir a Yahveh que él será tu Dios - tú seguirás sus caminos, observarás sus preceptos, sus mandamientos y sus normas, y escucharás su voz -.	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.
18 Y Yahveh te ha hecho decir hoy que serás su pueblo propio, como él te ha dicho - tú deberás guardar todos sus mandamientos -;	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,
19 él te elevará en honor, renombre y gloria, por encima de todas las naciones que hizo, y serás un pueblo consagrado a Yahveh tu Dios como él te ha dicho.	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."
