¹Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

¹Quixye laj Amós: —Chanchan matqßuenbil quinbânu nak li Kâcuaß Dios quixcßutbesi chicuu li visión aßin: Quicuil nak li Kâcuaß yô chixyoßobtesinquil nabal laj sâcß re teßxsach chixjunil li acuîmk li na-el mokon nak ac isinbil li re li rey.

²And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

²Ut quicuil ajcuiß nak eb laj sâcß queßxchoy xcuaßbal li acuîmk ut quinye: —Kâcuaß Dios, chacuy taxak kamâc, lâo aj Israel, ralal xcßajolo laj Jacob. ¿Chanru nak târûk takacol kib xban nak lâo incßaß qßuiho ut mâcßaß kacuanquil?—

³The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

³Ut li Kâcuaß quixjal xcßaßux. —Incßaß texinsach, chan.

⁴Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

⁴Mokon chic chanchan matqßuenbil quinbânu nak li Kâcuaß quixcßutbesi chicuu jun chic li visión: Quixtakla chak li xam saß xbêneb re nak teßxtoj rix lix mâqueb li tenamit. Ut xban xtikcual li xam quichakic li nimla palau ut yô chi cßatc li chßochß nak quicuil.

⁵Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

⁵Ut lâin quinye re: —Bânu usilal, at Kâcuaß Dios, mâbânu aßan. ¿Chanru nak târûk takacol kib xban nak incßaß qßuiho ut mâcßaß kacuanquil?

⁶The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

⁶Ut quixjal cuißchic xcßaßux li Kâcuaß ut quixye chi joßcaßin: —Chi moco aßin tinbânu. Incßaß tinsacheb, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.

⁷Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

⁷Ut quixcßutbesi chicuu jun chic li visión li Kâcuaß. Chanchan matqßuenbil quinbânu nak quicuil li Kâcuaß xakxo chiru jun li tzßac bisbil riqßuin plomo. Cuan saß rukß jun li plomo li nequeßrocsi laj tzßac.

⁸And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

⁸Ut li Kâcuaß quixye cue: —¿Cßaßru li yôcat chirilbal, at Amós?— Ut lâin quinye: —Yôquin chirilbal jun li plomo cuan saß âcuukß. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye cue: —Riqßuin li bisleb plomo, tâcßutûnk nak eb lin tenamit incßaß nequeßcuan saß tîquilal. Ut lâin incßaß chic tebincuy xmâc riqßuin li mâusilal nequeßxbânu.

⁹And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

⁹Eb li naßajej li cuanqueb saß li tzûl bar nequeßlokßonin cuiß li ralal xcßajol laj Isaac teßsachekß ut eb li cab bar nequeßlokßonin cuiß li ralal xcßajol laj Israel teßlajeßjuqßuekß. Ut tincanabeb chi sachecß riqßuin chßîchß li rey Jeroboam rochbeneb li ralal xcßajol, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁰Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

¹⁰Ut laj Amasías laj tij li nacuan aran Bet-el, quixtakla resil riqßuin laj Jeroboam lix reyeb laj Israel ut quixye re li rey Jeroboam chi joßcaßin: —Cßajoß yô chixyebal châcuix laj Amós reheb li tenamit Israel. Li tenamit incßaß chic nequeßxcuy rabinquil li naxye.

¹¹For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

¹¹Joßcaßin yô chixyebal laj Amós: —Laj Jeroboam chi chßîchß tâcamsîk ut eb laj Israel teßchapekß ut teßisîk saß lix tenamiteb, chan.

¹²Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

¹²Tojoßnak quixye laj Amasías re laj Amós: —At profeta, elen arin. Ayu cuißchic saß li tenamit Judá cui tâcuaj tâqßuehekß âcua riqßuin xyebal râtin profeta.

¹³But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

¹³Ut matchal chic arin Bet-el chixyebal râtin profeta xban nak li naßajej aßin, aßan li nalokßonin cuiß li rey ut arin ajcuiß cuan li rochoch, chan.

¹⁴Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

¹⁴Ut quichakßoc laj Amós ut quixye re laj Amasías: —Lâin moco ac lâin ta chak profeta, chi moco ralalin ta chak profeta. Lâin ban aj ilol quetômk ut aj sicßol ru li cheß higo li moco aubil ta.

¹⁵And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

¹⁵Abanan li Kâcuaß qui-isin chak cue saß li cßanjel aßan, ut quixye cue: —Ayu, toxâye chak li cßaßru tinye âcue. Saß incßabaß lâin toxâye chak li cßaßru teßxcßul lin tenamit Israel, chan.

¹⁶Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

¹⁶Joßcan nak chacuabi li râtin li Kâcuaß. Lâat incßaß nacacuaj tinye li raylal li xchal saß êbên lâex laj Israel, chi moco nacacuaj tinye li cßaßru xchal saß êbên lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Isaac. Joßcan ut nak tinye âcue li cßaßru xye châcuix li Kâcuaß.Lâ cuixakil tâyumbêtak saß li tenamit ut eb lâ cualal âcßajol teßcamsîk saß li plêt. Lâ chßochß tâjeqßuîk reheb jalan. Ut lâat toxatcâmk saß jalan tenamit saß xyânkeb li incßaß nequeßxcßoxla li Dios. Ut lâex aj Israel texchapekß ut texcßamekß chi najt saß jalan tenamit, chan.

¹⁷Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

¹⁷Lâ cuixakil tâyumbêtak saß li tenamit ut eb lâ cualal âcßajol teßcamsîk saß li plêt. Lâ chßochß tâjeqßuîk reheb jalan. Ut lâat toxatcâmk saß jalan tenamit saß xyânkeb li incßaß nequeßxcßoxla li Dios. Ut lâex aj Israel texchapekß ut texcßamekß chi najt saß jalan tenamit, chan.
