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

When you have come into the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance and possess it and live in it,

2 e ntonces 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.

You shall take some of the first of all the produce of the soil which you harvest from the land the Lord your God gives you and put it in a basket, and go to the place which the Lord your God has chosen as the abiding place for His Name.

3 T e 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.”

And you shall go to the priest who is in office in those days, and say to him, I give thanks this day to the Lord your God that I have come to the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.

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

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

5 E ntonces 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.

And you shall say before the Lord your God, A wandering and lost Aramean ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

6 L os egipcios nos maltrataron, nos afligieron y nos impusieron una dura servidumbre.

And the Egyptians treated us very badly and afflicted us and laid upon us hard bondage.

7 E ntonces clamamos a Jehová, el Dios de nuestros padres, y Jehová oyó nuestra voz y vio nuestra aflicción, nuestro trabajo y nuestra opresión.

And when we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression;

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

And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, and with great (awesome) power and with signs and with wonders;

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

And He brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 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.

And now, behold, I bring the firstfruits 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;

11 L uego 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.

And you and the Levite and the stranger and the sojourner among you shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household.

12 » 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.

When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Levite, the stranger and the sojourner, the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your towns and be filled,

13 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.

Then you shall say before the Lord your God, I have brought the hallowed things (the tithe) out of my house and moreover have given them to the Levite, to the stranger and the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all Your commandments 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 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.

I have not eaten of the tithe in my mourning, nor have I handled any of it when I was unclean, nor given any of it to the dead. I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God; 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 land which You have given us as You swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

16 » 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.

This day the Lord your God has commanded you to do these statutes and ordinances. Therefore you shall keep and do them with all your heart and with all your being.

17 » 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.

You have declared the Lord this day to be your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes and His commandments and His precepts, and to hearken 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;

And the Lord has declared this day that you are His peculiar people as He promised you, and you are to keep all His commandments;

19 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.»

And He will make you high above all nations which He has made, in praise and in fame and in honor, and that you shall be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken.
