1 Ao entrares na terra que o Senhor, teu Deus, te dá por herança, ao possuí-la e nela habitares, 2 tomarás das primícias de todos os frutos do solo que recolheres da terra que te dá o Senhor, teu Deus, e as porás num cesto, e irás ao lugar que o Senhor, teu Deus, escolher para ali fazer habitar o seu nome. 3 Virás ao que, naqueles dias, for sacerdote e lhe dirás: Hoje, declaro ao Senhor, teu Deus, que entrei na terra que o Senhor, sob juramento, prometeu dar a nossos pais. 4 O sacerdote tomará o cesto da tua mão e o porá diante do altar do Senhor, teu Deus. 5 Então, testificarás perante o Senhor, teu Deus, e dirás: Arameu prestes a perecer foi meu pai, e desceu para o Egito, e ali viveu como estrangeiro com pouca gente; e ali veio a ser nação grande, forte e numerosa. 6 Mas os egípcios nos maltrataram, e afligiram, e nos impuseram dura servidão. 7 Clamamos ao Senhor, Deus de nossos pais; e o Senhor ouviu a nossa voz e atentou para a nossa angústia, para o nosso trabalho e para a nossa opressão; 8 e o Senhor nos tirou do Egito com poderosa mão, e com braço estendido, e com grande espanto, e com sinais, e com milagres; 9 e nos trouxe a este lugar e nos deu esta terra, terra que mana leite e mel. 10 Eis que, agora, trago as primícias dos frutos da terra que tu, ó Senhor, me deste. Então, as porás perante o Senhor, teu Deus, e te prostrarás perante ele. 11 Alegrar-te-ás por todo o bem que o Senhor, teu Deus, te tem dado a ti e a tua casa, tu, e o levita, e o estrangeiro que está no meio de ti.

12 Quando acabares de separar todos os dízimos da tua messe no ano terceiro, que é o dos dízimos, então, os darás ao levita, ao estrangeiro, ao órfão e à viúva, para que comam dentro das tuas cidades e se fartem. 13 Dirás perante o Senhor, teu Deus: Tirei de minha casa o que é consagrado e dei também ao levita, e ao estrangeiro, e ao órfão, e à viúva, segundo todos os teus mandamentos que me tens ordenado; nada transgredi dos teus mandamentos, nem deles me esqueci. 14 Dos dízimos não comi no meu luto e deles nada tirei estando imundo, nem deles dei para a casa de algum morto; obedeci à voz do Senhor, meu Deus; segundo tudo o que me ordenaste, tenho feito. 15 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 Hoje, o Senhor, teu Deus, te manda cumprir estes estatutos e juízos; guarda-os, pois, e cumpre-os de todo o teu coração e de toda a tua alma. 17 Hoje, fizeste o Senhor declarar 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 E o Senhor, hoje, te fez dizer que lhe serás por povo seu próprio, como te disse, e que guardarás todos os seus mandamentos. 19 Para, assim, te exaltar em louvor, renome e glória sobre todas as nações que fez e para que sejas povo santo ao Senhor, teu Deus, como tem dito.

1 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein, 2 that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there. 3 And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land which Jehovah sware unto our fathers to give us. 4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God. 5 And thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian 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 populous. 6 And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 7 and we cried unto Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression; 8 and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders; 9 and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God: 11 and thou shalt rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner that is in the midst of thee.

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shalt give it unto the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled. 13 And thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them: 14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I put away thereof, being unclean, nor given thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. 15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

16 This day Jehovah thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. 17 Thou hast avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto his voice: 18 and Jehovah hath avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; 19 and to make thee high above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken.

1 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 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

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 Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous.

6 But the Egyptians mistreated us and made us suffer, subjecting us to harsh labor.

7 Then we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors, and the LORD heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression.

8 So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders.

9 He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey;

10 and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, LORD, have given me." Place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before him.

11 Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice 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 of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, 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.

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, 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, your holy dwelling place, and bless 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."

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.

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.

18 And the LORD has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands.

19 He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised.
