¹And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹Ut li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

²Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

²—At ralal cuînk, ilon cuan cuiß li tenamit Jerusalén ut tâye resil reheb li raylal li tâchâlk saß xbên lin templo ut saß xbêneb ajcuiß laj Israel.

³And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

³Tâye reheb chi joßcaßin: Aßan aßin li naxye li Kâcuaß: Lâin xicß chic nequexcuil. Lâin tincuisi lin chßîchß saß li rochoch ut tinsach ruheb li tîc xchßôleb joß eb ajcuiß li yibru xnaßlebeb.

⁴Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

⁴Joßcan nak lâin tinsach ruheb chixjunileb li tîqueb xchßôl joß eb ajcuiß li yibru xnaßlebeb. Tâticlâk chak saß li sur ut tâcuulâk toj saß li norte.

⁵That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

⁵Ut chixjunileb teßxqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß xincuisi lin chßîchß saß li rochoch ut incßaß chic tinxoc saß xnaßaj.

⁶Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

⁶Joßcan nak tatyâbak, at ralal cuînk, xban xrahil âchßôl chiruheb. Yâban chi kßaxal ra saß âchßôl.

⁷And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

⁷Nak teßxpatzß âcue cßaßut nak yôcat chi yâbac, lâat tâye reheb, “Yôquin chi yâbac xban resil li raylal li châlc re.” Nak têrabi resil lâex, cßajoß nak texxucuak. Mâcßaßak chic xmetzßêu lê rok êrukß. Sicsotkex aj chic xban êxiu ut chixjunilex tâchßinânk êchßôl. Cuulac re xkßehil. Relic chi yâl tâcßulmânk, chan li nimajcual Dios.

⁸Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁸Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

⁹Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

⁹—At ralal cuînk, tâye resil li cßaßru tâcßulmânk. Tâye: Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios. Li chßîchß ac kßesnanbil. Ac cauresinbil chi us.

¹⁰It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.

¹⁰Li chßîchß aßin ac cauresinbil re camsînc. Kßesnanbil ut nalemtzßun. Eb li cualal incßajol queßxtzßektâna lix kßusbaleb. ¿Ma tâsahokß ta biß xchßôleb riqßuin li xinye?

¹¹And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

¹¹Li chßîchß kßesnanbil re ut cauresinbil re tâkßaxtesîk saß rukß li ani tâcamsînk reheb.

¹²Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.

¹²At ralal cuînk, chatyâbak chi cau xban nak eb lin tenamit, aßaneb li teßsachekß ruheb xban li chßîchß aßan. Chixjunileb li tenamit, joß eb ajcuiß li cuanqueb xcuanquil teßsachekß ruheb. Joßcan nak ten re lâ chßôl xban li raylal li châlc re.

¹³Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.

¹³Lâin tinyal rixeb laj Judá. ¿Ma târûk ta biß teßxcuy li raylal? Relic chi yâl tâsachekß ru lix cuanquilaleb, chan li nimajcual Dios.

¹⁴Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

¹⁴At ralal cuînk, tâye resil li cßaßru tâcßulmânk. Tâpokßpokßi lâ cuukß re nak laj camsinel tixtiquib camsînc. Chexcßulak cuibak oxibak sut li raylal aßin. Aßan aßin li chßîchß li tâcamsînk reheb chixjunileb yalak bar cuânkeb. Mâ jun reheb teßcolekß.

¹⁵I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.

¹⁵Cßajoß nak teßxucuak xban li chßîchß. Nabaleb li teßcamsîk xban. Saß chixjunileb li oquebâl teßril li chßîchß. Cßajoß nak nalemtzßun. Cauresinbil re tâcamsînk.

¹⁶Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.

¹⁶Li chßîchß aßan li tâcamsînk reheb li cuanqueb saß li nim ut aßan ajcuiß tâcamsînk reheb li cuanqueb saß li tzße. Aßan tâcamsînk reheb yalak bar cuanqueb.

¹⁷I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.

¹⁷Lâin tinpokßpokßi li cuukß ut tâcubêk lin joskßil. Lâin li nimajcual Dios ninyehoc re aßin.

¹⁸The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

¹⁸Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

¹⁹Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.

¹⁹—At ralal cuînk, tâqßue retalil cuib li be li teßnumekß cuiß lix reyeb laj Babilonia riqßuin lix chßîchß. Li cuib chi be teßticlâk saß jun chi naßajej. Tâqßue retalil saß li xâla be cßaßru tenamitil naxic cuiß li junjûnk chi be.

²⁰Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

²⁰Jun li be tâxic saß li tenamit Rabá lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Amón. Ut li jun chic tâxic saß li tenamit Jerusalén li cauresinbil re pletic. Aßan lix tenamiteb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá.

²¹For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

²¹Lix reyeb laj Babilonia tixxakab rib saß xâla be ut incßaß tixnau bar cuan li be tâxic cuiß. Tixkßehi riqßuin lix tzimaj ut tâpatzßok riqßuineb lix dios. Ut tâkßehînk riqßuin lix sâseb li xul li quixmayeja re tixnau bar cuan li be tâxic cuiß.

²²At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

²²Nak tixkßehi tâcßutekß chiru nak tâxic Jerusalén li cuan saß lix nim ukß. Aran tixyîb lix naßajeb re teßxsut rix li tenamit. Ut teßxyîb ajcuiß lix cßanjelebâl ut lix taklebâl re teßoc cuiß saß li tenamit ut teßxchap. Li rey tixjap re, re nak eb li soldados teßoc chi pletic ut teßxtiquib xcamsinquileb li tenamit.

²³And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

²³Eb li cuanqueb Jerusalén incßaß teßxpâb nak oqueb re chi pletic eb laj Babilonia xban nak queßxbânu li contrato riqßuineb. Abanan lix yâlal aßin, aßan re nak tâjulticokß reheb li mâc li queßxbânu ut re ajcuiß xcßutbal chiruheb nak teßchapekß.

²⁴Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

²⁴Joßcan nak lâin li nimajcual Dios ninye: —Chêru nacßutun nak cuan lê mâc. Riqßuin chixjunil li nequebânu nacßutun lê mâc. Xban nak xekßetkßeti êrib, joßcan nak texchapekß.

²⁵And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

²⁵Lâat lix reyeb laj Israel, incßaß us lâ naßleb. Xamux âcuib xban li mâusilal xabânu. Xcuulac xkßehil nak tâtoj rix lâ mâc xban nak xnumta lâ mâusilal.

²⁶Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

²⁶Lâin li nimajcual Dios ninye âcue: —Isi lâ corona li cuan saß âjolom, joß ajcuiß li tßicr li nacatzßap cuiß âjolom. Anakcuan tâjalâk chixjunil. Li mâcßaß xcuanquil tâqßuehekß xcuanquil, ut li cuan xcuanquil tâisîk xcuanquil.

²⁷I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

²⁷Tâosokß chixjunil. Lâin tinpoß ru chixjunil. Ut incßaß chic tâyîbâk toj saß li cutan nak tâchâlk li jun li quinqßue xcuanquil chi rakoc âtin. Saß li cutan aßan lâin tinkßaxtesi saß rukß li cßanjel aßan.

²⁸And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

²⁸Lâat, at ralal cuînk, tâye resil li cßaßru tâuxmânk. Tâye: Joßcaßin xye li nimajcual Dios chêrix lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Amón. Lâex li nequexhoboc reheb laj Israel. Li chßîchß ac isinbil chak saß li rochoch. Kßesnanbil re ut nalemtzßun. Ac cauresinbil re tâcamsînk.

²⁹Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.

²⁹Eb li visión li nequeril moco yâl ta ut li cßaßru nequekßehi ticßtiß. Numtajenak lê mâusilal ut incßaß us lê naßleb. Abanan cuulac re xkßehil nak têtoj rix lê mâusilal nak texcamsîk chi chßîchß.

³⁰Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

³⁰Xocomak lê chßîchß saß li rochoch, lâex aj Amón. Lâin tinrakok âtin saß êbên saß li naßajej li quexyoßla cuiß, saß li naßajej li cuanquex cuiß.

³¹And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

³¹Lâex têqßue retal nak lâin tincuisi lin joskßil saß êbên. Chanchan jun li xam li yô chêcßatbal. Texinkßaxtesi saß rukßeb li cuînk li kßaxal joskßeb, li nequeßrahobtesin, ut teßxsach êru.Lâex tex-osokß saß li xam ut lê quiqßuel tâhoyekß saß lê naßaj. Ut mâ ani chic tâjulticânk êre xban nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios ninyehoc re aßin.—

³²Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

³²Lâex tex-osokß saß li xam ut lê quiqßuel tâhoyekß saß lê naßaj. Ut mâ ani chic tâjulticânk êre xban nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios ninyehoc re aßin.—
