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

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,

2 t omarás 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.

that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

3 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.

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Yahweh your God, that I have come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers to give us.”

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

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of Yahweh your God.

5 E ntonces 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;

You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

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

The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.

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

Then we cried to Yahweh, the God of our fathers. Yahweh heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.

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

Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;

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

and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 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.

Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Yahweh, have given me.” You shall set it down before Yahweh your God, and worship before Yahweh your God.

11 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.

You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.

12 C uando 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.

When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.

13 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.

You shall say before Yahweh your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.

14 N o 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.

I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to Yahweh my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

15 M ira 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.

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

16 J ehová 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.

Today Yahweh your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.

17 H as 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.

You have declared today that Yahweh is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice.

18 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;

Yahweh has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.

19 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.

He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Yahweh your God, as he has spoken.
