¹And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

¹Cuanqueb li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel queßcuulac cuiqßuin nak yô li lajêb xbe li roß po re li xcuuk li chihab kacßambal Babilonia. Queßcuulac chixpatzßbal cßaßru naraj li Dios nak teßxbânu ut queßcßojla chicuu.

²Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

²Ut li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

³Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

³—At ralal cuînk, tat-âtinak riqßuineb li cuînk aßin li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel ut tâye reheb: Aßan aßin li naxye li nimajcual Dios. ¿Ma xexchal chixpatzßbal ênaßleb cuiqßuin? Lâin li yoßyôquil Dios ninye êre nak lâin incßaß tinsume li cßaßru xexchal chixpatzßbal cue.

⁴Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

⁴At ralal cuînk, ¿ma tatrakok âtin saß xbêneb? Cui tatrakok âtin saß xbêneb tâye reheb li mâusilal li queßxbânu lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb.

⁵And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;

⁵Tâye reheb nak lâin li Kâcuaß quintaksi li cuukß ut quinbânu li juramento saß li cutan nak quinsicß ruheb chokß intenamit laj Israel li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob. Ut quincßutbesi cuib chiruheb nak cuanqueb Egipto. Quintaksi li cuukß ut quinye reheb: Lâinak li Kâcuaß lê Dios.

⁶In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:

⁶Saß li cutan aßan lâin quinye reheb riqßuin juramento nak lâin teßcuisi saß li naßajej Egipto ut tincßameb saß jun châbil naßajej li quinsicß ru chokß reheb li na-el cuiß chi us li sahil echej. Aßan li kßaxal chßinaßus chiru chixjunil li naßajej.

⁷Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

⁷Lâin li Kâcuaß quinye reheb: —Chêjûnkalex têsach ruheb li yîbanbil dios li nequelokßoni. Kßaxal yibeb ru. Mêmux êrib riqßuineb lix jalanil dioseb laj Egipto. Lâin li Kâcuaß lê Dios, chanquin reheb.

⁸But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

⁸Abanan queßxkßetkßeti ribeb ut incßaß queßabin chicuu. Incßaß queßrisi saß xyânkeb li jalanil dios li queßcuulac chiruheb xlokßoninquil, chi moco queßxtzßektâna lix jalanil dioseb laj Egipto. Joßcan nak quinye nak tinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb aran Egipto toj retal nak tincuisi lin joskßil saß xbêneb.

⁹But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

⁹Abanan incßaß quinbânu xban nak chiruheb laj Egipto lâin quinye reheb laj Israel nak tincuisiheb Egipto. Incßaß quicuaj nak tâisîk lin lokßal.

¹⁰Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

¹⁰Joßcan nak lâin quincuisiheb chak Egipto ut quincßameb saß li chaki chßochß.

¹¹And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.

¹¹Lâin quinqßue lin chakßrab reheb ut quincßut chiruheb chanru teßxbânu xban nak li ani naxbânu li cßaßru ninye, cuânk xyußam.

¹²Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.

¹²Lâin quinye reheb nak teßx-oxlokßi li hilobâl cutan chokß retalil li contrato li xkabânu chi kibil kib nak lâin li Kâcuaß ninsantobresin reheb.

¹³But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

¹³Abanan eb laj Israel queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chicuu saß li chaki chßochß. Incßaß queßxbânu li cßaßru quinye reheb. Queßxtzßektâna lin chakßrab usta queßxnau nak riqßuin xbânunquil li cßaßru ninye cuânk xyußameb. Ut queßxmux ru li hilobâl cutan. Joßcan nak lâin quinye nak tincuisi lin joskßil saß xbêneb ut tinsach ruheb saß li chaki chßochß.

¹⁴But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

¹⁴Abanan incßaß quinsach ruheb xban nak incßaß quicuaj nak tâisîk lin lokßal xbaneb li xnînkal ru tenamit li queßiloc re nak quicuisiheb laj Israel aran Egipto.

¹⁵Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

¹⁵Joßcan nak lâin quinbânu li juramento saß li chaki chßochß ut quinye nak incßaß tebincanab chi oc saß li naßajej li quinyechißi reheb, li naßajej li kßaxal châbil li na-el cuiß chi us li sahil echej. Aßan li kßaxal chßinaßus chiru chixjunil li naßajej.

¹⁶Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

¹⁶Quinbânu li juramento aßan xban nak queßxtzßektâna lin chakßrab. Incßaß queßxbânu li cßaßru quinye. Queßxmux ban ru li hilobâl cutan. Ut queßxqßue xchßôleb chixlokßoninquil li jalanil dios.

¹⁷Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

¹⁷Usta ac xeßxbânu chixjunil aßan, abanan lâin quincuyeb xmâc. Quicuil xtokßobâl ruheb ut incßaß quinsach ruheb saß li chaki chßochß.

¹⁸But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:

¹⁸Nak cuanqueb saß li chaki chßochß lâin quinye reheb li ralal xcßajoleb: —Mêbânu li cßaßru nequeßxye lê naß êyucuaß. Mêbânu joß nequextakla cuiß. Ut mêmux êrib riqßuin xlokßoninquileb lix jalanil dios.

¹⁹I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;

¹⁹Lâin li Kâcuaß lê Dios. Cheqßuehak saß êchßôl li naxye saß lin chakßrab. Chebânuhak chi tzßakal li cßaßru ninye êre.

²⁰And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.

²⁰Cheqßuehak xlokßal lin hilobâl cutan li quinsantobresi chokß retalil chokß cue ut chokß êre ajcuiß lâex nak lâin lê Dios.

²¹Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

²¹Abanan eb li ralal xcßajoleb queßxkßetkßeti ajcuiß ribeb chicuu. Queßxkßet lin chakßrab ut incßaß queßxbânu li cßaßru quinye, usta cuânk xyußam li ani naxbânu lin chakßrab. Queßxmux ru li hilobâl cutan. Joßcan nak lâin quinye nak tincuisi lin joskßil saß xbêneb nak cuanqueb saß li chaki chßochß.

²²Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.

²²Abanan incßaß quinsach ruheb nak incßaß quicuaj nak tâisîk xlokßal lin cßabaß chiruheb li xnînkal ru tenamit li queßiloc re nak quicuisiheb chak laj Israel Egipto.

²³I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

²³Joßcan nak lâin quinbânu li juramento nak cuanqueb saß li chaki chßochß ut quinye nak tinjeqßuiheb yalak bar saß eb li xnînkal ru tenamit.

²⁴Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

²⁴Quinye chi joßcan xban nak incßaß queßxbânu li cßaßru quinye reheb. Queßxkßet lin chakßrab ut queßxmux ru li hilobâl cutan. Ut queßxlokßoniheb li jalanil dios li queßxlokßoni lix yucuaßeb.

²⁵Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

²⁵Joßcan nak lâin quincanabeb chixbânunquil li chakßrab li moco us ta, li incßaß naqßuehoc yußam.

²⁶And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.

²⁶Quincanabeb chixmuxbal ribeb riqßuin li mayej queßxqßue reheb li jalanil dios. Queßxqßue li xbên ralaleb chokß xcßatbil mayej. Quincanabeb chixbânunquil chi joßcan re nak teßxucuak ut teßxqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß.

²⁷Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

²⁷At ralal cuînk, tâye reheb laj Israel nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios ninye chi joßcaßin: Joßcan ajcuiß lê xeßtônil yucuaß quineßxtzßektâna nak queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chicuu.

²⁸For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

²⁸Lâin quincßameb saß li châbil naßajej li quinyechißi reheb. Nak queßril li tzûl li najt xteram ut eb li cheß li nînk xmu, queßxqßue xmayejeb aran. Queßxchikß injoskßil nak queßxqßue lix cßatbil mayej ut queßxqßue li vino chokß xmayej ut queßxqßue ajcuiß li sununquil pom.

²⁹Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.

²⁹Ut lâin quinye reheb: —¿Cßaß na-oc cuiß li naßajej li najt xteram li nequexxic cuiß?— Ut chalen anakcuan Bama nequeßxye re li naßajej aßan.

³⁰Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?

³⁰Joßcan nak tâye reheb laj Israel nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios ninye: ¿Ma toj têmux êrib joß queßxbânu lê naß êyucuaß? ¿Ma têlokßoniheb li jalanil dios joß queßxbânu eb aßan?

³¹For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

³¹Chalen anakcuan nequemux êrib riqßuin xlokßoninquileb li jalanil dios ut nequeqßue lê cocßal chokß cßatbil mayej. Ut chirix aßan nequexchal chixsicßbal ênaßleb cuiqßuin. Lâin li yoßyôquil Dios ninye êre nak lâin incßaß tinsume li cßaßru nequepatzß.

³²And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

³²Lâex nequeye nak têraj cuânc joß eb li xnînkal ru tenamit li nequeßxlokßoni li cheß ut li pec. Abanan incßaß tâcßulmânk joß nequecßoxla lâex.

³³As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

³³Lâin li yoßyôquil Dios ninye êre nak relic chi yâl lâin tintaklânk chi cau saß êbên lâex ut saß joskßil.

³⁴And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

³⁴Riqßuin xnimal incuanquil ut riqßuin lin joskßil lâin texcuisi saß eb li tenamit li quexinjeqßui cuiß ut tinchßutub cuißchic êru.

³⁵And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

³⁵Lâin texincßam saß li chaki chßochß li cuan nachß riqßuineb li jalan tenamit. Ut aran tinrakok âtin saß êbên.

³⁶Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

³⁶Lâin tinrakok âtin saß êbên joß nak quinrakoc âtin saß xbêneb lê xeßtônil yucuaß saß li chaki chßochß li cuan saß xcuênt Egipto. Lâin li nimajcual Dios ninyehoc re aßin.

³⁷And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:

³⁷Lâin texinqßue chi cuânc rubel incuanquil ut texinpuersi chixbânunquil li cßaßru xkaye nak xkabânu li contrato.

³⁸And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

³⁸Lâin tincuisiheb saß êyânk li incßaß nequeßraj abînc chicuu, li nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb ut nequeßxbânu li mâusilal. Tincuisiheb saß eb li naßajej li cuanqueb cuiß anakcuan. Abanan incßaß tincanabeb chi oc saß lê naßaj lâex aj Israel. Riqßuin aßan têqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß.

³⁹As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

³⁹Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios naxye chi joßcaßin êre lâex aj Israel: Ayukex chêjunilex ut cßanjelankex chiruheb lê jalanil dios. Abanan tâcuulak xkßehil nak lâex têbânu li cßaßru tinye êre ut incßaß chic têmux ru lin santil cßabaß riqßuin lê mayej li nequeqßue chiruheb li jalanil dios.

⁴⁰For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

⁴⁰Abanan mokon chêjunilex lâex aj Israel tinêlokßoni saß lin santil naßajej saß li tzûl Sión li cuan aran Israel. Tâsahokß inchßôl êriqßuin xban nak chêjunilex texcßanjelak chicuu.

⁴¹I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

⁴¹Texincßul joß li sununquil ban nak texcuisi saß eb li jalan tenamit li quexinjeqßui cuiß. Ut lâin tincßutbesi lin santilal saß êyânk chiruheb li xnînkal ru tenamit.

⁴²And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.

⁴²Lâex têqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß nak texincßam saß lê naßaj lâex aj Israel. Aßan li naßajej li quinyechißi reheb lê xeßtônil yucuaß nak quintaksi li cuukß ut quinbânu li juramento.

⁴³And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

⁴³Ut tânak saß êchßôl li mâusilal li quilajêbânu nak quemux êrib. Lâex ajcuiß xicß têril êrib riqßuin li mâusilal li nequebânu.

⁴⁴And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

⁴⁴Lâex aj Israel têqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß ninbânu usilal êre. Mâcuaß xban nak châbilex nak ninbânu usilal êre. Xebânu ban li mâusilal. Ninbânu usilal êre re nak tâqßuehekß xlokßal lin cßabaß, chan li nimajcual Dios.

⁴⁵Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁴⁵Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

⁴⁶Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

⁴⁶—At ralal cuînk, ilon saß li sur. Ut saß incßabaß lâin tâye resil li raylal li tâchâlk saß xbêneb li qßuicheß li cuan aran.

⁴⁷And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

⁴⁷Tâye chi joßcaßin re li qßuicheß li cuan saß li sur: Abihomak li râtin li Dios.

Tâticlâk saß li sur ut tâcuulak toj saß li norte. Ut chixjunileb teßrecßa lix tikcual.

⁴⁸And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

⁴⁸Ut chixjunileb li cristian teßxqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß quinlochßoc re ut mâ ani târûk tâchupuk re, chan.Ut lâin ra quicuecßa ut quinye re: —At nimajcual Dios, chixjunileb nequeßxye nak li cßaßru ninye, aßan jaljôquil ru âtin ut incßaß nequeßxtau ru, chanquin.

⁴⁹Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

⁴⁹Ut lâin ra quicuecßa ut quinye re: —At nimajcual Dios, chixjunileb nequeßxye nak li cßaßru ninye, aßan jaljôquil ru âtin ut incßaß nequeßxtau ru, chanquin.
