Deuteronomy 26

1 “After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) there,

E será que, quando entrares na terra que o Senhor teu Deus te der por herança, e a possuires, e nela habitares,

2 [each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.

Então tomarás das primícias de todos os frutos da terra, que trouxeres da tua terra, que te dá o Senhor teu Deus, e as porás num cesto, e irás ao lugar que escolher o Senhor teu Deus, para ali fazer habitar o seu nome

3 Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’

E virás ao sacerdote, que naqueles dias for, e dir-lhe-ás: Hoje declaro perante o Senhor teu Deus que entrei na terra que o Senhor jurou a nossos pais dar-nos.

4 Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our God.

E o sacerdote tomará o cesto da tua mão, e o porá diante do altar do Senhor teu Deus.

5 Then in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.

Então protestarás perante o Senhor teu Deus, e dirás: syrio miserável foi meu pai, e desceu ao Egito, e ali peregrinou com pouca gente: porém ali cresceu até vir a ser nação grande, poderosa e numerosa.

6 Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.

Mas os egípcios nos maltrataram e nos afligiram, e sobre nós puseram uma dura servidão.

7 Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.

Então clamamos ao Senhor Deus de nossos pais; e o Senhor ouviu a nossa voz, e atentou para a nossa miséria, e para o nosso trabalho, e para a nossa opressão.

8 Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.

E o Senhor nos tirou do Egito com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com grande espanto, e com sinais, e com milagres;

9 You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].

E nos trouxe a este lugar, e nos deu esta terra, terra que mana leite e mel.

10 So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.

E eis que agora eu trouxe as primícias dos frutos da terra que tu, ó Senhor, me deste. Então as porás perante o Senhor teu Deus, e te inclinarás perante o Senhor teu Deus

11 And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.

E te alegrarás por todo o bem que o Senhor teu Deus te tem dado a ti e à tua casa, tu e o levita, e o estrangeiro que está no meio de ti

12 Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.

Quando acabares de dizimar todos os dízimos da tua novidade no ano terceiro, que é o ano dos dízimos, então a darás ao levita, ao estrangeiro, ao órfão e à viúva, para que comam dentro das tuas portas, e se fartem:

13 Then you must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].

E dirás perante o Senhor teu Deus: Tirei o que é consagrado de minha casa, e dei também ao levita, e ao estrangeiro, e ao órfão e à viúva, conforme a todos os teus mandamentos que me tens ordenado: nada traspassei dos teus mandamentos, nem deles me esqueci.

14 [I declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].

Dele não comi na minha tristeza, nem dele nada tirei para imundícia, nem dele dei para algum morto: obedeci à voz do Senhor meu Deus; conforme a tudo o que me ordenaste, tenho feito.

15 So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’

Olha desde a tua santa habitação, desde o céu, e abençoa o teu povo, a Israel, e a terra que nos deste, como juraste a nossos pais, terra que mana leite e mel.

16 Today Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].

Neste dia o Senhor teu Deus te manda fazer estes estatutos e juízos: guarda-os pois, e faze-os com todo o teu coração e com toda a tua alma.

17 Today you have declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.

Hoje fizeste dizer ao Senhor que te será por Deus, e que andarás nos seus caminhos, e guardarás os seus estatutos, e os seus mandamentos, e os seus juízos, e darás ouvidos à sua voz.

18 And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.

E o Senhor hoje te fez dizer que lhe serás por povo seu próprio, como te tem dito, e que guardarás todos os seus mandamentos.

19 If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”

Para assim te exaltar sobre todas as nações que fez, para louvor, e para fama, e para glória, e para que sejas um povo santo ao Senhor teu Deus, como tem dito.
