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

¹Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

²Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.

²—At ralal cuînk, lâat tâteneb li raylal aßin saß xbêneb li tenamit aßin li junes camsînc nequeßxbânu. Tâye resil reheb li raylal li tâchâlk saß xbêneb xban li mâusilal nequeßxbânu.

³Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

³Tâye reheb: Joßcaßin naxye li nimajcual Dios. Cuulac re xkßehil nak têcßul li raylal xban nak xecamsiheb lê rech tenamitil ut xemux êrib nak xeyîb li jalanil dios.

⁴Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

⁴Xban nak lâex xecamsiheb lê ras êrîtzßin, joßcan nak tâsêbânk chi châlc li raylal saß êbên. Ut muxbil chic êru xban nak xeyîb lê jalanil dios. Xmâc aßan tex-osokß. Texhobekß ut texseßêk xbaneb chixjunileb li xnînkal ru tenamit.

⁵Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.

⁵Texhobekß xban lê mâusilal xbaneb li tenamit li cuanqueb chi najt joß eb ajcuiß li cuanqueb chi nachß. Lâex li tenamit naßno êru xban li mâusilal nequebânu nak nequelokßoniheb li jalanil dios.

⁶Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

⁶Eb li nequeßtaklan saß êyânk lâex aj Israel nequeßxbânu li cßaßru nequeßraj xjuneseb xban nak cuanqueb saß xcuanquil. Joßcan nak nequeßxcamsi ras rîtzßineb.

⁷In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

⁷Eb aßan incßaß nequeßxra xnaß xyucuaßeb. Nequeßxrahobtesiheb li jalan xtenamiteb. Ut nequeßxbânu raylal reheb li mâcßaß xnaß xyucuaßeb joß eb ajcuiß li xmâlcaßan.

⁸Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

⁸Xetzßektânaheb li naßajej li niquinêlokßoni cuiß ut nequemux ru li hilobâl cutan.

⁹In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

⁹Saß êyânk cuanqueb li nequeßyôban ticßtiß chirixeb li ras rîtzßin re nak teßcamsîk. Cuanqueb li nequeßxcuaß li tzacaêmk li quimayejâc chiruheb li jalanil dios saß eb li tzûl. Ut nequeßxbânu li mâusilal.

¹⁰In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

¹⁰Cuanqueb li nequeßxchßic rib riqßuin li rixakil lix yucuaßeb, ut cuanqueb cuînk nequeßxchßic rib riqßuineb li ixk nak yôqueb chixcßulbal lix yajel re li po.

¹¹And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

¹¹Cuanqueb li cuînk nequeßxmakß rixakil li ras rîtzßin. Ut cuanqueb li cuînk nequeßxchßic rib riqßuineb li ralib. Ut cuanqueb ajcuiß li nequeßxchßic rib riqßuin lix rabin li xcab xyucuaß.

¹²In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

¹²Cuanqueb cuînk nequeßtuminâc ru re teßxcamsi ras rîtzßin. Cuanqueb li nequeßxpatzß nabal li ral li tumin li nequeßxqßue chi toß. Cuanqueb li nequeßxsicß lix biomaleb riqßuin xmakßbal xtumineb li ras rîtzßin. Incßaß chic niquineßxcßoxla lâin. Lâin li Kâcuaß Dios ninyehoc re aßin.

¹³Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

¹³Relic chi yâl nak lâex xechikß injoskßil xban nak xesicß lê biomal riqßuin xbânunquil li mâusilal ut xecamsiheb lê ras êrîtzßin.

¹⁴Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.

¹⁴¿Ma toj cauhak ta biß êchßôl ut ma toj cauhak ta biß êrib saß li cutan nak lâin texinqßue chixtojbal rix lê mâc? Lâin li Kâcuaß Dios xinyehoc re nak texinqßue chixtojbal rix lê mâc ut lâin tinbânu li cßaßru xinye.

¹⁵And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

¹⁵Lâin texinjeqßui yalak bar saß ruchichßochß saß xyânkeb li jalan tenamit. Ut incßaß chic târûk têbânu li mâusilal.

¹⁶And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

¹⁶Xicß chic tex-ilekß ut textzßektânâk xbaneb li xnînkal ru tenamit. Riqßuin aßin têqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios.—

¹⁷And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁷Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

¹⁸Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.

¹⁸—At ralal cuînk, eb laj Israel mâcßaß nequeßoc cuiß chicuu lâin. Chanchaneb li chßîchß cobre. Ut chanchaneb li cacuil chßîchß hierro ut plomo li na-elaßan nak ac xcßateß saß xam li châbil plata re risinquil lix tzßajnil.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

¹⁹Joßcan nak lâin li nimajcual Dios ninye: Xban nak mâcßaß chic nequex-oc cuiß, joßcan nak lâin texinchßutub aran Jerusalén.

²⁰As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.

²⁰Xban nak yô injoskßil saß êbên, joßcan nak lâin texinchßutub ut tinrakok âtin saß êbên. Chanchan nak nequeßxchßutub li plata, li cobre, li hierro ut li plomo joß ajcuiß li kßan chßîchß ut nequeßxqßue saß li tikcual xam re nak tâhaßokß.

²¹Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.

²¹Xban nak yô injoskßil saß êbên, lâin texinchßutub ut tinrakok âtin saß êbên. Chanchan nak texcuapu riqßuin tikcual xam re nak tex-osokß.

²²As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

²²Lâex li cuanquex Jerusalén, târakekß âtin saß êbên re nak tâêlk li incßaß us saß êyânk, joß nak nahaßoß li plata saß li xam. Riqßuin aßin têqßue retal nak lâin li nimajcual Dios xinqßuehoc êre chixtojbal rix êmâc xban nak yô injoskßil saß êbên.—

²³And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²³Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

²⁴Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

²⁴—At ralal cuînk, ye reheb laj Israel nak yô injoskßil saß xbêneb ut tebinqßue chixtojbal rix lix mâqueb. Chanchaneb li chßochß li incßaß akßinbil. Chanchaneb li chßochß li incßaß naxqßue hab saß xbên.

²⁵There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

²⁵Eb li nequeßcßamoc be chanchaneb li cakcoj li yôqueb chixjapbal re saß xbên lix tib. Nequeßxcamsiheb li rech tenamitil ut nequeßxmakß chiruheb li cßaßru reheb. Nabaleb li xmâlcaßan xban nak queßcamsîc lix li bêlomeb.

²⁶Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

²⁶Eb laj tij queßxkßet lin chakßrab ut queßxmux ru lin santil naßaj. Incßaß nequeßxqßue retal bar cuan li santobresinbil ut bar cuan li muxbil ru, chi moco nequeßxcßut chiru li tenamit li cßaßru santobresinbil ut li cßaßru muxbil ru, chi moco nequeßxqßue xlokßal li hilobâl cutan. Ut lâin tzßektânanbilin xbaneb.

²⁷Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

²⁷Eb li nequeßtaklan saß li tenamit chanchaneb chic laj xoj li yôqueb chixtßupbal lix tibeb. Nequeßxcamsiheb li ras rîtzßin xban xsicßbal xbiomaleb.

²⁸And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

²⁸Ut eb li profetas nequeßxmuk lix mâqueb. Chanchaneb li cuînk li nequeßxbon li tzßac re xmukbal li tzßaj cuan chiru. Aßaneb aj balakß ut nequeßbalakßic riqßuin xyebal nak li cßaßru nequeßxye, aßan cßutbil chiruheb inban lâin. Abanan lâin incßaß xinâtinac riqßuineb.

²⁹The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

²⁹Eb li tenamit junes rahobtesînc nequeßxcßoxla xbânunquil. Ut aj êlkßeb. Nequeßxbânu raylal reheb li nebaß ut reheb li tenkßâc teßraj. Nequeßxrahobtesiheb ajcuiß li jalan xtenamiteb li incßaß xcßulubeb rahobtesîc.

³⁰And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

³⁰Lâin xinsicß jun saß xyânkeb re nak tixcoleb chicuu. Xinsicß jun naru tixchßolob lix yâlal chiruheb re nak incßaß tinsacheb lin tenamit.

Lâin li nimajcual Dios ninyehoc re aßin.—

³¹Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

³¹Joßcan nak lâin tincuisi lin joskßil saß xbêneb. Chanchanakin li xam nak tinsach ruheb. Aßaneb ajcuiß teßtojok re li mâusilal xeßxbânu. Lâin li nimajcual Dios ninyehoc re aßin.—
