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 heredad, 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.

entonces tomarás las primicias de todos los frutos que saques de la tierra que Jehová, tu Dios, te da, 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.’

Te presentarás al sacerdote que haya en aquellos días, y le dirás: “Declaro hoy ante 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.

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 dirás estas palabras 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. 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.

Los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos afligieron y nos impusieron una 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;

Entonces 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;

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

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

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, Jehová, he traído las primicias del fruto de la tierra que me diste.” »Tú dejarás las primicias 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.

Luego te alegrarás de todo el bien que Jehová, tu Dios, te haya dado a ti y a tu casa, tanto tú como 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.

»El tercer año, el año del diezmo, cuando acabes de separar todo el diezmo de tus frutos, darás también al levita, al extranjero, al huérfano y a la viuda, para que coman en tus aldeas hasta saciarse.

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 lo consagrado de mi casa, y también 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 en mi luto, ni he gastado de ello estando yo impuro, ni de ello he ofrecido a los muertos. He obedecido a la voz de Jehová, mi Dios, y 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, que andarás en sus caminos, que 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, fama y gloria, y para que seas un pueblo consagrado a Jehová, tu Dios, como él ha dicho.»
