¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹Nak yô lajêb chihab kacßambal Babilonia, saß li cablaju xbe lix laje po, li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

²Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

²—At ralal cuînk, ilon cuan cuiß li tenamit Egipto ut tâye reheb resil li raylal li tâchâlk saß xbên lix reyeb laj Egipto ut saß xbêneb chixjunileb li tenamit.

³Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

³Tâye reheb: joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios. Yô injoskßil saß âbên lâat, at faraón, lix reyeb laj Egipto. Lâat chanchanat jun li nimla xul dragón xcßabaß li nacuan saß nimaß. Nacaye, “Li nimaß Nilo cue lâin. Lâin quinyîban re,” chancat.

⁴But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

⁴Abanan lâin tinqßue li chßîchß saß lâ cue. Ut tinqßueheb li car li cuan saß eb li nimaß chi letzecß châcuix. Tatcuisi saß li nimaß nak toj cuânkeb li car chi letzlôqueb châcuix.

⁵And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

⁵Lâin tatincanab saß li chaki chßochß âcuochbeneb chixjunileb li car li cuanqueb saß eb li nimaß. Tatcanâk chi tßantßo saß chßochß ut incßaß tatmukekß. Ut eb li joskß aj xul ut eb li soßsol teßxtiu lê tibel.

⁶And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁶Ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb Egipto teßxqßue retal nak lâin li nimajcual Dios. At faraón, lâat chanchanat jun xukß caxlan aj chokß reheb laj Israel lin tenamit.

⁷When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

⁷Nak cateßxchap saß rukßeb, cattokeß ut cahop li xbêneb xtel. Eb aßan queßxcßojob xchßôleb saß âbên, abanan lâat incßaß catru xtenkßanquileb. Cacanabeb chi sachecß.

⁸Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.

⁸Joßcan nak lâin li Kâcuaß ninye nak tintaklaheb li xicß nequeßiloc êre. Texcamsiheb chi chßîchß lâex joß eb ajcuiß lê xul.

⁹And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.

⁹Lâin tinsukßisi li naßajej Egipto chokß chaki chßochß. Mâcßaß chic cuânk chi saß. Ut eb li tenamit teßxqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios. Lâat caye, “Li nimaß Nilo cue lâin. Lâin quinyîban re,” chancat.

¹⁰Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

¹⁰Joßcan nak lâin yô injoskßil saß êbên ut saß xbêneb li nimaß. Lâin tinsach ru lê tenamit. Tâcanâk chi mâcßaß cuan chi saß tâticlâk chak aran Migdol ut tâcuulak toj Sevene ut toj saß li nubâl re li naßajej Etiopía.

¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

¹¹Mâ jun li cristian chi moco li xul teßnumekß aran. Chiru caßcßâl chihab mâcßaß tâcuânk aran.

¹²And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

¹²Lâin tincanab li tenamit Egipto chi mâcßaßak chic cuânk chi saß. Tinsach ru chixjunil li tenamit. Aßanak li kßaxal poßbilak chiruheb chixjunileb li tenamit li queßjuqßueß. Chiru caßcßâl chihab mâcßaß cuânk saß eb li tenamit aßan. Eb laj Egipto tebinjeqßui ru yalak bar saß eb li jalan tenamit, chan.

¹³Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:

¹³Li nimajcual Dios quixye: Nak ac xnumeß li caßcßâl chihab, lâin tinchßutub cuißchic ruheb laj Egipto saß eb li tenamit li quinjeqßuiheb cuiß.

¹⁴And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

¹⁴Ut tincßameb cuißchic Egipto saß li naßajej Patros li queßcuan cuiß lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb. Aran teßcanâk chi mâcßaßak chic xcuanquileb.

¹⁵It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

¹⁵Aßanak jun tenamit kßaxal cubenak xcuanquil. Incßaß chic tâcuânk xcuanquil saß xbêneb li jun chßol chic tenamit. Lâin tincuisi lix cuanquil re nak incßaß chic tâtaklânk saß xbêneb li xnînkal ru tenamit.

¹⁶And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

¹⁶Incßaß chic teßxcßojob xchßôleb laj Israel riqßuin li tenamit Egipto. Nak eb laj Israel teßril li tenamit Egipto, tânak saß xchßôleb chanru nak queßmâcob nak queßxcßojob xchßôleb saß xbêneb. Ut riqßuin aßan teßxqßue retal nak lâin li nimajcual Dios.—

¹⁷And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹⁷Nak yô cuukub xcaßcßâl chihab kacßambal Babilonia, saß li xbên cutan re li xbên po li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

¹⁸Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:

¹⁸—At ralal cuînk, laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia quicßamoc be chiruheb lix soldado nak queßpletic riqßuineb laj Tiro. Xban li cacuil trabaj li queßxbânu quitßaneß li rismaleb xjolom ut queßmichßeß li xbêneb xtel. Abanan chi moco li rey, chi moco eb lix soldado queßxcßul xkßajcâmunquil li pletic queßxbânu riqßuineb laj Tiro.

¹⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

¹⁹Joßcan nak lâin li nimajcual Dios ninye nak tinkßaxtesi li tenamit Egipto saß rukß laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia. Laj Nabucodonosor tixmakß chiruheb lix biomaleb ut tixcßam chokß re aßan ut reheb ajcuiß lix soldado chokß xtojbaleb.

²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.

²⁰Lâin tinkßaxtesi li tenamit Egipto saß rukß laj Nabucodonosor chokß xkßajcâmunquil xban nak aßan quicßanjelac chicuu nak quipletic riqßuineb laj Tiro.Saß eb li cutan aßan lâin tinqßue cuißchic xcuanquileb laj Israel. Ut lâat, at Ezequiel, tatinxakab re nak tâchßolob xyâlal chiruheb. Ut riqßuin aßan teßxqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios.—

²¹In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

²¹Saß eb li cutan aßan lâin tinqßue cuißchic xcuanquileb laj Israel. Ut lâat, at Ezequiel, tatinxakab re nak tâchßolob xyâlal chiruheb. Ut riqßuin aßan teßxqßue retal nak lâin li Kâcuaß Dios.—
