1 “ Then it shall be, when you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and you possess it and live in it,

Cuando hayas entrado en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da por herencia, y tomes posesión de ella y la habites,

2 t hat you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground which you bring in from your land that the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to establish His name.

tomarás de las primicias de todos los frutos que saques de la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, y las pondrás en una canasta, e irás al lugar que Jehová tu Dios escoja para hacer habitar allí su nombre.

3 Y ou shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare this day to the Lord my God that I have entered the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’

Y te presentarás al sacerdote que esté entonces en funciones, y le dirás: Declaro hoy a Jehová tu Dios, que he entrado en la tierra que juró Jehová a nuestros padres que nos daría.

4 T hen the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.

Y el sacerdote tomará la canasta de tu mano, y la pondrá delante del altar de Jehová tu Dios.

5 Y ou shall answer and say before the Lord your God, ‘ My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there, few in number; but there he became a great, mighty and populous nation.

Entonces hablarás y dirás delante de Jehová tu Dios: Un arameo a punto de perecer fue mi padre, el cual descendió a Egipto y habitó allí con pocos hombres, y allí creció y llegó a ser una nación grande, fuerte y numerosa;

6 A nd the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.

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

7 T hen we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction and our toil and our oppression;

Y clamamos a Jehová el Dios de nuestros padres; y Jehová oyó nuestra voz, y vio nuestra aflicción, nuestro trabajo y nuestra opresión;

8 a nd the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror and with signs and wonders;

y Jehová nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte, con brazo extendido, con grande espanto, y con señales y con milagros;

9 a nd He has brought us to this place and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

y nos trajo a este lugar, y nos dio esta tierra, tierra que fluye leche y miel.

10 N ow behold, I have brought the first of the produce of the ground which You, O Lord have given me.’ And you shall set it down before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God;

Y ahora, he aquí he traído las primicias del fruto de la tierra que me diste, oh Jehová. Y lo dejarás delante de Jehová tu Dios, y adorarás delante de Jehová tu Dios.

11 a nd you and the Levite and the alien who is among you shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.

Y te alegrarás en todo el bien que Jehová tu Dios te haya dado a ti y a tu casa, y también se regocijará el levita y el extranjero que está en medio de ti.

12 “ When you have finished paying all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan and to the widow, that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied.

Cuando acabes 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 en tus aldeas, y se saciarán.

13 Y ou shall say before the Lord your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and also have given it to the Levite and the alien, the orphan and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed or forgotten any of Your commandments.

Y dirás delante de Jehová tu Dios: He sacado de mi casa lo que era sagrado, y lo he dado al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, conforme a todo lo que me has mandado; no he transgredido tus mandamientos, ni me he olvidado de ellos.

14 I have not eaten of it while mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor offered any of it to the dead. I have listened to the voice of the Lord my God; I have done according to all that You have commanded me.

No he comido de ello durante mi luto, ni he consumido de ello estando yo inmundo, ni de ello he ofrecido a los muertos; he obedecido a la voz de Jehová mi Dios, he hecho conforme a todo lo que me has mandado.

15 L ook down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the ground which You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers.’

Mira desde tu morada santa, 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.

16 “ This day the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul.

Jehová tu Dios te manda hoy que cumplas estos estatutos y decretos; cuida, pues, de ponerlos por obra con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma.

17 Y ou have today declared the Lord to be your God, and that you would walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments and His ordinances, and listen to His voice.

Has declarado solemnemente hoy que Jehová es tu Dios, y que andarás en sus caminos, y guardarás sus estatutos, sus mandamientos y sus decretos, y que escucharás su voz.

18 T he Lord has today declared you to be His people, a treasured possession, as He promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments;

Y Jehová ha declarado hoy que tú eres pueblo suyo, de su exclusiva posesión, como te lo ha prometido, para que guardes todos sus mandamientos;

19 a nd that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, for praise, fame, and honor; and that you shall be a consecrated people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.”

a fin de exaltarte sobre todas las naciones que hizo, para loor y fama y gloria, y para que seas un pueblo santo a Jehová tu Dios, como él ha dicho.
