Deuteronomy 26

vehayah ki-tavo el-ha'arets asher Adonai elohekha noten lekha nakhalah virishtah veyashavta bah

When you enter the land that the ETERNAL your God is giving you as a heritage, and you possess it and settle in it,

velaqakhta mereshit kol-peri ha'adamah asher tavi me'artsekha asher Adonai elohekha noten lakh vesamta vattene vehalakhta el-hammaqom asher yivkhar Adonai elohekha leshakken shemo sham

you shall take some of every first fruit of the soil, which you harvest from the land that the ETERNAL your God is giving you, put it in a basket and go to the place where the ETERNAL your God will choose to establish the divine name.

uvata el-hakkohen asher yihyeh bayyamim hahem ve'amarta elayw higgadti hayyom la-Adonai elohekha ki-vati el-ha'arets asher nishba Adonai la'avotenu latet lanu

You shall go to the priest in charge at that time and say to him, “I acknowledge this day before the ETERNAL your God that I have entered the land that GOD swore to our fathers to assign us.”

velaqakh hakkohen hattene miyyadekha vehinnikho lifne mizbakh Adonai elohekha

The priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down in front of the altar of the ETERNAL your God.

ve'anita ve'amarta lifne Adonai elohekha arammi oved avi vayyered mitsraymah vayyagor sham bimte me'at vayehi-sham legoy gadol atsum varav

You shall then recite as follows before the ETERNAL your God: “My father was a fugitive Aramean. He went down to Egypt with meager numbers and sojourned there; but there he became a great and very populous nation.

vayyare'u otanu hammitsrim vaye'annunu vayyittenu alenu avodah qashah

The Egyptians dealt harshly with us and oppressed us; they imposed heavy labor upon us.

vannitsaq el-Adonai elohe avotenu vayyishma Adonai et-qolenu vayyar et-onyenu ve'et-amalenu ve'et-lakhatsenu

We cried to the ETERNAL, the God of our ancestors, and the ETERNAL heard our plea and saw our plight, our misery, and our oppression.

vayyotsi'enu Adonai mimmitsrayim beyad khazaqah uvizroa netuyah uvemora gadol uve'otot uvemofetim

GOD freed us from Egypt by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm and awesome power, and by signs and portents,

vayevi'enu el-hammaqom hazzeh vayyitten-lanu et-ha'arets hazzot erets zavat khalav udevash

bringing us to this place and giving us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

ve'attah hinneh heveti et-reshit peri ha'adamah asher-natattah li Adonai vehinnakhto lifne Adonai elohekha vehishtakhavita lifne Adonai elohekha

And so I now bring the first fruits of the soil that You, O ETERNAL One, have given me.” You shall leave the basket before the ETERNAL your God and bow low before the ETERNAL your God.

vesamakhta vekhol-hattov asher natan-lekha Adonai elohekha ulevetekha attah vehallevi vehagger asher beqirbekha

And you shall enjoy, together with the Levite and the stranger in your midst, all the bounty that the ETERNAL your God has bestowed upon you and your household.

ki tekhalleh laser et-kol-masar tevu'atekha bashanah hashelishit shenat hamma'aser venatattah lallevi lagger layyatom vela'almanah ve'okhlu visharekha vesave'u

When you have set aside in full the tenth part of your yield—in the third year, the year of the tithe—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat their fill in your settlements,

ve'amarta lifne Adonai elohekha bi'arti haqqodesh min-habbayit vegam netattiv lallevi velagger layyatom vela'almanah kekhol-mitsvatekha asher tsivvitani lo-avarti mimmitsvotekha velo shakhakheti

you shall declare before the ETERNAL your God: “I have cleared out the consecrated portion from the house; and I have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, just as You commanded me; I have neither transgressed nor neglected any of Your commandments:

lo-akhalti ve'oni mimmennu velo-vi'arti mimmennu betame velo-natatti mimmennu lemet shamati beqol Adonai elohay asiti kekhol asher tsivvitani

I have not eaten of it while in mourning, I have not cleared out any of it while I was impure, and I have not deposited any of it with the dead. I have obeyed the ETERNAL my God; I have done just as You commanded me.

hashqifah mimme'on qodshekha min-hashamayim uvarekh et-ammekha et-yisra'el ve'et ha'adamah asher natattah lanu ka'asher nishbata la'avotenu erets zavat khalav udevash

Look down from Your holy abode, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the soil You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers.”

hayyom hazzeh Adonai elohekha metsavvekha la'asot et-hakhuqqim ha'elleh ve'et-hammishpatim veshamarta ve'asita otam bekhol-levavekha uvekhol-nafshekha

The ETERNAL your God commands you this day to observe these laws and rules; observe them faithfully with all your heart and soul.

et-Adonai he'emarta hayyom lihyot lekha lelohim velalekhet bidrakhayw velishmor khuqqayw umitsvotayw umishpatayw velishmoa beqolo

You have affirmed this day that the ETERNAL is your God—in whose ways you will walk, whose laws and commandments and rules you will observe, and whom you will obey.

va-Adonai he'emirekha hayyom lihyot lo le'am segullah ka'asher dibber-lakh velishmor kol-mitsvotayw

And GOD has affirmed this day that you are, as promised, God’s treasured people who shall observe all the commandments,

uletittekha elyon al kol-haggoyim asher asah lithillah uleshem uletifaret velihyotekha am-qadosh la-Adonai elohekha ka'asher dibber

and that you will be set in fame and renown and glory, high above all the nations that [God] has made; and that you shall be, as promised, a holy people to the ETERNAL your God.
