Deuteronomy 26
Living Bible
26 “When you arrive in the land and have conquered it and are living there, 2-3 you must present to the Lord at his sanctuary the first sample from each annual[a] harvest. Bring it in a basket and hand it to the priest on duty and say to him, ‘This gift is my acknowledgment that the Lord my God has brought me to the land he promised our ancestors.’ 4 The priest will then take the basket from your hand and set it before the altar. 5 You shall then say before the Lord your God, ‘My ancestors were migrant Arameans who went to Egypt for refuge. They were few in number, but in Egypt they became a mighty nation. 6-7 The Egyptians mistreated us and we cried to the Lord God. He heard us and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression, 8 and brought us out of Egypt with mighty miracles and a powerful hand. He did great and awesome miracles before the Egyptians 9 and has brought us to this place and given us this land “flowing with milk and honey”! 10 And now, O Lord, see, I have brought you a token of the first of the crops from the ground you have given me.’ Then place the samples before the Lord your God, and worship him. 11 Afterwards, go and feast on all the good things he has given you. Celebrate with your family and with any Levites or migrants living among you.
12 “Every third year is a year of special tithing. That year you are to give all your tithes to the Levites, migrants, orphans, and widows, so that they will be well fed. 13 Then you shall declare before the Lord your God, ‘I have given all of my tithes to the Levites, the migrants, the orphans, and the widows, just as you commanded me; I have not violated or forgotten any of your rules. 14 I have not touched the tithe while I was ceremonially defiled (for instance, while I was in mourning), nor have I offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the Lord my God and have done everything you commanded me. 15 Look down from your holy home in heaven and bless your people and the land you have given us, as you promised our ancestors; make it a land “flowing with milk and honey”!’
16 “You must wholeheartedly obey all of these commandments and ordinances that the Lord your God is giving you today. 17 You have declared today that he is your God, and you have promised to obey and keep his laws and ordinances, and to heed all he tells you to do. 18 And the Lord has declared today that you are his very own people, just as he promised, and that you must obey all of his laws. 19 If you do, he will make you greater than any other nation, allowing you to receive praise, honor, and renown; but to attain this honor and renown you must be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he requires.”

Ofrenda de las primicias
26 Cuando hayas entrado en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da en herencia, hayas tomado posesión de ella y ya estés establecido allí, 2 recogerás las primicias de los frutos que produzca la tierra que el Señor tu Dios va a darte, las pondrás en una cesta e irás con ellas al lugar que el Señor tu Dios escoja como morada de su nombre. 3 Te presentarás al sacerdote que esté en funciones por aquellos días, y le dirás: “Yo declaro hoy ante el Señor tu Dios, que he entrado en la tierra que él prometió darnos, según juró a nuestros antepasados”. 4 El sacerdote tomará la cesta que tú le entregues y la depositará ante el altar del Señor tu Dios; 5 entonces tú dirás ante el Señor tu Dios: “Un arameo errante era mi padre. Bajó a Egipto y allí vivió como emigrante con un puñado de personas convirtiéndose en una nación grande, fuerte y numerosa. 6 Pero los egipcios nos maltrataron, nos hicieron sufrir y nos impusieron una dura esclavitud. 7 Entonces clamamos al Señor, Dios de nuestros antepasados, y él escuchó nuestras súplicas y vio nuestra miseria, nuestras fatigas y nuestra opresión. 8 Por eso el Señor nos sacó de Egipto con gran poder y destreza sin igual, con terribles portentos, señales y prodigios; 9 nos condujo a este lugar y nos dio esta tierra que mana leche y miel. 10 Por eso ofrezco ahora los primeros frutos que produce esta tierra que tú Señor, me has dado”.
Acto seguido, pondrás la cesta delante del Señor tu Dios y te postrarás ante él. 11 Después festejarás con alegría los bienes que el Señor tu Dios te haya dado a ti y a tu familia. Se unirán a tu celebración los levitas e inmigrantes que viven en medio de ti.
El diezmo trienal
12 En el tercer año, el año del diezmo, cuando ya hayas apartado el diezmo de todas tus cosechas y se lo hayas dado al levita, al inmigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda, para que coman y se sacien en tus ciudades, 13 declararás ante el Señor tu Dios: “Ya he retirado de mi casa la porción consagrada a ti, y se la he dado al levita, al inmigrante, al huérfano y a la viuda, conforme a todo lo que tú me mandaste. No he desobedecido ninguno de tus mandamientos ni los he olvidado. 14 Mientras estuve de luto no comí nada de lo consagrado; tampoco lo he apartado encontrándome en estado de impureza ni lo he ofrecido a un muerto. Te he obedecido, Señor mi Dios, y he cumplido todo lo que me has ordenado. 15 Mira desde el cielo, desde tu santa morada, y bendice a tu pueblo Israel y a la tierra que nos has dado, tal como se lo juraste a nuestros antepasados: una tierra que mana leche y miel”.
IV.— CONCLUSIÓN DEL SEGUNDO DISCURSO (26,16—28,68)
Ratificación de la alianza
16 Hoy el Señor tu Dios te ordena cumplir estas normas y preceptos. Pon todo tu corazón en cumplirlos; pon todo tu empeño en ponerlos en práctica. 17 Hoy has declarado que el Señor es tu Dios y seguirás sus caminos, que lo obedecerás y cumplirás sus estatutos, normas y preceptos. 18 También el Señor ha declarado hoy que tú serás el pueblo de su propiedad, tal como te había prometido; y tú cumplirás todos sus mandamientos. 19 El Señor te hará superior en dignidad, fama y gloria a todas las naciones que él ha creado, para que seas un pueblo consagrado al Señor tu Dios, como te ha prometido.

Firstfruits and Tithes
26 When you have entered the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it and settled in it, 2 take some of the firstfruits(A) of all that you produce from the soil of the land the Lord your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name(B) 3 and say to the priest in office at the time, “I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the land the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” 4 The priest shall take the basket from your hands and set it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God. 5 Then you shall declare before the Lord your God: “My father was a wandering(C) Aramean,(D) and he went down into Egypt with a few people(E) and lived there and became a great nation,(F) powerful and numerous. 6 But the Egyptians mistreated us and made us suffer,(G) subjecting us to harsh labor.(H) 7 Then we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and the Lord heard our voice(I) and saw(J) our misery,(K) toil and oppression.(L) 8 So the Lord brought us out of Egypt(M) with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,(N) with great terror and with signs and wonders.(O) 9 He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey;(P) 10 and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, Lord, have given me.(Q)” Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him. 11 Then you and the Levites(R) and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice(S) in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.
12 When you have finished setting aside a tenth(T) of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe,(U) you shall give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied. 13 Then say to the Lord your God: “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, according to all you commanded. I have not turned aside from your commands nor have I forgotten any of them.(V) 14 I have not eaten any of the sacred portion while I was in mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean,(W) nor have I offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the Lord my God; I have done everything you commanded me. 15 Look down from heaven,(X) your holy dwelling place, and bless(Y) your people Israel and the land you have given us as you promised on oath to our ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Follow the Lord’s Commands
16 The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.(Z) 17 You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him.(AA) 18 And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession(AB) as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. 19 He has declared that he will set you in praise,(AC) fame and honor high above all the nations(AD) he has made and that you will be a people holy(AE) to the Lord your God, as he promised.
