¹Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

¹Li Dios quixye cue nak tinbicha li bich aßin re rahil chßôlejil chirixeb li nequeßtaklan aran Israel:

²And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

²Lâ naß chanchan jun li cakcoj li cuan saß xyânkeb li cakcoj. Quixqßuiresi li cocß ral saß xyânkeb aßan.

³And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

³Quixqßuiresi jun li ral ut kßaxal cau rib nak quiniman. Quixtzol xchapbal lix tib ut quixcamsiheb li cuînk.

⁴The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

⁴Eb li xnînkal ru tenamit queßrabi resil ut queßxchap saß jun li raßal. Riqßuin cadena queßxcßam toj Egipto.

⁵Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

⁵Li naßbej quiril nak incßaß us qui-el riqßuin li xbên ral. Joßcan nak quixqßuiresi jun chic li ral toj quiniman chi us.

⁶And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

⁶Nak ac nim chic, li ral quicuan saß xyânkeb li jun chßol chic li cakcoj. Quixtzol xchapbal lix tib ut quixcamsiheb li cuînk.

⁷And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.

⁷Quirelkßa li cßaßru cuan saß li palacio ut quixpoßi li tenamit ut li naßajej quicana chi mâcßaß chic cuan. Cßajoß nak queßxucuac li cuanqueb saß li tenamit nak queßrabi nak quixjap re.

⁸Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.

⁸Ut eb li xnînkal ru tenamit queßchal chixchapbal. Queßchal li cuanqueb chixjun sutam. Queßxyîbeb lix raßal re teßxchap toj retal nak li cakcoj quitßaneß chi saß li raßal.

⁹And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

⁹Queßxbacß riqßuin cadena ut queßxtzßap saß jun nimla caxon re teßxcßam riqßuin lix reyeb laj Babilonia. Ut aran queßxqßue saß tzßalam. Joßcan nak incßaß chic queßrabi nak quixjap re saß eb li tzûl li cuanqueb Israel.

¹⁰Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

¹⁰Ut quixye reheb li nequeßtaklan aran Israel: Lê naß chanchan jun xtônal li uvas li queßrau chire li nimaß. Xban nak nachß cuan li haß riqßuin, chßinaßus nak quiqßui. Cßajoß li rukß ut nabal li ru naxqßue.

¹¹And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

¹¹Cau li rukß ut us chokß xxukßeb li rey. Quiniman chi us li xtônal li uvas ut kßaxal najt rok quicuulac. Chixjunileb li tenamit queßxqßue retal lix najtil rok ut lix châbil ukß.

¹²But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

¹²Abanan cuan li queßjoskßoß riqßuin ut queßxmichß lix xeß ut queßxcut saß chßochß. Ut li ru quichakic xban li tikcual ikß li xchal saß li este. Quitokeß li rukß ut queßchakic ut queßcßateß.

¹³And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

¹³Ut queßrau li xtônal li uva saß li chaki chßochß bar mâcßaß cuiß haß.Quiloch xxamlel li xtônal ut quixcßat li rukß joß ajcuiß li ru. Incßaß chic tâcuânk li rukß châbil chokß xxukßeb li rey. Aßan aßin jun li bich re rahil chßôlej ut qßuila sut tâbichamânk re rahil chßôlej.

¹⁴And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

¹⁴Quiloch xxamlel li xtônal ut quixcßat li rukß joß ajcuiß li ru. Incßaß chic tâcuânk li rukß châbil chokß xxukßeb li rey. Aßan aßin jun li bich re rahil chßôlej ut qßuila sut tâbichamânk re rahil chßôlej.
