Deuteronomio 26

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Cuando llegues a la tierra que Yahveh tu Dios te da en herencia, cuando la poseas y habites en ella,	1 “And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within 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 the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.
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 And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’
4 El sacerdote tomará de tu mano la cesta y la depositará ante el altar de Yahveh tu Dios.	4 And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before 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 And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.
6 Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos oprimieron y nos impusieron dura servidumbre.	6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.
7 Nosotros clamanos a Yahveh Dios de nuestros padres, y Yahveh escuchó nuestra voz; vio nuestra miseria, nuestras penalidades y nuestra opresión,	7 And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.
8 y Yahveh nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte y tenso brazo en medio de gran terror, señales y prodigios.	8 And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.
9 Nos trajo aquí y nos dio esta tierra, tierra que mana leche y miel	9 And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the 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 And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.
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 And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with 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 will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.
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 And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.
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 from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed 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 with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
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 Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill 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 have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.
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 Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,
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 and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
