¹It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell therein,

¹Ko prideš v deželo, ki ti jo v dediščino daje GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, in ko si jo prilastiš in boš prebival v njej,

²that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Yahweh your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

²tedaj vzemi prvin vseh zemeljskih sadov, ki jih spraviš iz dežele, ki ti jo da GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, in jih deni v koš in pojdi na mesto, ki si ga izvoli GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, da ondi prebiva ime njegovo.

³You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess this day to Yahweh your God, that I am come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers to give us.”

³In pridi k duhovniku, ki bode v tem času, in mu reci: Priznavam danes GOSPODU, tvojemu Bogu, da sem prišel v deželo, za katero je prisegel GOSPOD našim očetom, da nam jo da.

⁴The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of Yahweh your God.

⁴In duhovnik naj ti vzame koš iz roke ter ga postavi pred oltar GOSPODA, tvojega Boga.

⁵You shall answer and say before Yahweh your God, “A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

⁵In izpregovóri in reci pred GOSPODOM, Bogom svojim: Izgubljen Aramejec je bil oče moj in šel je doli v Egipt in ondi bival kot tujec z majhnim krdelcem, a postal je tam v narod velik, mogočen in mnogoštevilen.

⁶The Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:

⁶Egipčani pa so grdo ravnali z nami, stiskali so nas ter nam nakladali težko službo.

⁷and we cried to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and Yahweh heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;

⁷In klicali smo h GOSPODU, Bogu svojih očetov, in GOSPOD je uslišal naš glas in videl našo revo, naš trud in našo stisko,

⁸and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;

⁸in izpeljal nas je GOSPOD iz Egipta z mogočno roko in iztegnjeno ramo, z veliko grozo, z znamenji in s čudeži,

⁹and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁹ter nas je privedel v ta kraj in nam dal to deželo, deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med.

¹⁰Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Yahweh, have given me.” You shall set it down before Yahweh your God, and worship before Yahweh your God.

¹⁰In sedaj, glej, sem prinesel prvine zemeljskih sadov, ki si mi jih dal ti, o GOSPOD. In polóži jih pred GOSPODA, svojega Boga, in moli pred GOSPODOM, Bogom svojim.

¹¹You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is in the midst of you.

¹¹In veséli se vseh dobrot, ki jih je GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, dodelil tebi in tvoji hiši, ti in levit in tujec, ki je pri tebi.

¹²When you have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.

¹²Ko spraviš docela vse desetine svojih prirastkov v tretjem letu, ki je leto desetinjenja, in daš levitu, tujcu, siroti in vdovi, da jedo znotraj tvojih vrat in se nasitijo:

¹³You shall say before Yahweh your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

¹³tedaj reci pred GOSPODOM, Bogom svojim: Odnesel sem sveto darilo iz svoje hiše, tudi sem dal levitu, tujcu, siroti in vdovi po vsej zapovedi tvoji, ki si mi jo ukazal; nisem prestopil tvojih zapovedi, ne jih pozabil.

¹⁴I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: I have listened to the voice of Yahweh my God; I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

¹⁴V žalosti svoji nisem jedel od tega, tudi nisem ničesar tega odnesel, ko sem bil nečist, tudi nisem dal od tega za mrliča; poslušal sem glas GOSPODA, svojega Boga, storil sem vse, kakor si mi zapovedal.

¹⁵Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

¹⁵Poglej doli iz svetega prebivališča svojega, iz nebes, in blagoslovi ljudstvo svoje, Izraela, in deželo, ki si nam jo dal, kakor si bil prisegel očetom našim, deželo, kjer teče mleko in med.

¹⁶This day Yahweh your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.

¹⁶Danes ti zapoveduje GOSPOD, tvoj Bog, da izpolnjuj vse te postave in sodbe: hrani jih torej in izpolnjuj iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje.

¹⁷You have declared Yahweh this day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice:

¹⁷Danes si se zarekel GOSPODU, da bodi tvoj Bog in da hočeš hoditi po njegovih potih ter izpolnjevati postave in zapovedi in sodbe njegove in poslušati njegov glas.

¹⁸and Yahweh has declared you this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;

¹⁸In GOSPOD se ti je danes zarekel, da mu bodi ljudstvo lastnine, kakor ti je bil obljubil, in da izpolnjuj vse njegove zapovedi,ter da te hoče storiti višjega mimo vseh narodov, ki jih je ustvaril, v hvali in v imenu in v časti, da bi ti bil sveto ljudstvo GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, kakor je govoril.

¹⁹and to make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Yahweh your God, as he has spoken.

¹⁹ter da te hoče storiti višjega mimo vseh narodov, ki jih je ustvaril, v hvali in v imenu in v časti, da bi ti bil sveto ljudstvo GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, kakor je govoril.
