1 "将来， 你进了耶和华你的 神赐给你作产业的地， 占领那地， 并且住在那里以后，
2 就要从耶和华你的 神赐给你的地上， 把地上各种初熟果子取些来， 放在篮子里， 到耶和华你的 神选择立为他名的居所的地方，
3 去见当时作祭司的， 对他说： ‘我今日向耶和华你的 神表明， 我已经来到了耶和华向我们的列祖起誓应许要赐给我们的地。’
4 祭司就要从你手里接过篮子， 放在耶和华你的 神的祭坛前面。
5 然后你要在耶和华你的 神面前说： ‘我的祖先原是个飘泊流亡的亚兰人； 他下到埃及， 在那里寄居； 他人数稀少， 在那里却成了又大又强、人数又多的国。
6 埃及人恶待我们， 苦害我们， 把苦工加在我们身上。
7 于是我们向耶和华我们列祖的 神呼求， 耶和华听见了我们的声音， 看见了我们所受的困苦、劳碌和压迫，
8 耶和华就用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂， 以及大而可畏的事、神迹和奇事， 把我们从埃及领出来。
9 把我们领进这地方， 把这地赐给我们， 就是流奶与蜜的地。
10 耶和华啊， 现在你看， 我把你赐给我的土地的初熟果子带了来。’随后你要把篮子放在耶和华你的 神面前， 在耶和华你的 神面前下拜。
11 你和利未人， 以及住在你们中间的外族人， 都要因耶和华你的 神赐给你和你的家的一切好处而欢乐。
12 "每逢第三年， 就是十分献一之年， 你把一切出产的十分之一完全取出， 分给利未人、寄居的和孤儿寡妇， 使他们在你的城中吃饱了以后，
13 你就要在耶和华你的 神面前说： ‘我已经把圣物从家里除去了， 也分给了利未人、寄居的和孤儿寡妇， 都照着你吩咐我的一切诫命； 你的命令我都没有违背， 也没有忘记。
14 我守丧的时候， 没有吃这圣物； 我不洁的时候， 没有把它除去， 也没有把它送给死人； 我听从了耶和华我的 神的话， 都照着你吩咐我的一切行了。
15 求你从天上你圣洁的居所垂看， 赐福给你的子民以色列， 和你赐给我们的土地， 就是你向我们的列祖起誓应许的那流奶与蜜的地。’
16 "耶和华你的 神今日吩咐你遵行这些律例和典章， 所以你要一心一意谨守遵行。
17 你今日承认了耶和华是你的 神， 要遵行他的道， 谨守他的律例、诫命和典章， 听从他的话。
18 耶和华今日照着他应许你的， 也承认了你是他珍贵的子民， 使你谨守他的一切诫命；
19 他又使你得称赞、名誉和尊贵， 超过他所造的列国之上， 并且照着他说过的使你作圣洁的子民， 归于耶和华你的 神。"
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.
