1The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
1Aßan aßin li cßaßru quicßutbesîc chiru li profeta Habacuc xban li Kâcuaß.
2O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
2¿Joß najtil chic yôkin chixjapbal cue chixpatzßbal intenkßanquil, at Kâcuaß, ut lâat incßaß tinâcuabi? Ut, ¿jarub sut tinyâba lâ cßabaß xban li raylal li cuanco cuiß ut lâat incßaß nocoâcol?
3Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
3¿Cßaßut nak niquinâqßue chirilbal li raylal ut li mâusilal aßin? ¿Cßaßut nak cuan li rahobtesînc ib saß kayânk? Ut, ¿cßaßut nak cuan li joskßil ut li sacßoc ib ut li cuechßînc ib saß kayânk?
4Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
4Li chakßrab nacana chi mâcßaß chic xcuanquil. Nak nequeßrakoc âtin, incßaß nequeßxbânu saß xyâlal. Li nequeßbânun mâusilal, nequeßnumta saß xbêneb li tîqueb xchßôl ut incßaß nequeßrakoc âtin saß tîquilal, chan laj Habacuc.
5Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
5Li Kâcuaß quixye re: —Ilomakeb lix nînkal ru tenamit ut chisachk êchßôl chirilbal li sachba chßôlej li tinbânu saß eb li cutan nak toj cuânkex lâex. Incßaß raj têpâb cui yal ani ta junak tâserakßînk êre.
6For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.
6Qßuehomak retal, lâin oc cue chixtaklanquileb laj Caldea, li joskß aj tenamit, li incßaß nequeßelajic. Eb aßan teßxsuti li ruchichßochß chixmakßbal li naßajej li jalan aj e.
7They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
7Cauheb rib ut xucuajel rilbaleb li tenamit aßan. Eb aßan incßaß nequeßxqßue xcuanquil li chakßrab. Caßaj cuiß li nequeßraj xbânunquil eb aßan nequeßxqßue xcuanquil.
8Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
8Kßaxal sêbakeb lix cacuâyeb chiruheb li hix. Tzßakalakeb aj camsinel chiru laj xoj li nequeßbêc chiru kßojyîn. Kßaxal cuißchic teßtâmk li nequeßxic chirix cacuây chi camsînc. Chi najt teßchâlk chak chirix cacuây li teßchâlk chi pletic. Nak teßxic saß ânil chi pletic, chanchanakeb li cßuch nak naxic chi junpât chixchapbal lix tib.
9They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
9Li cßaßru teßxtau saß lix beheb, teßxsach ru. Ac xiu xiu cuanqueb li tenamit usta toj mâjiß nequeßnumeß. Nak teßnumtâk saß xbên li tenamit, numtajenak xqßuialeb li teßxchap. Chanchan xqßuial li cocß ru li samaib li cuan chire li palau.
10And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
10Teßxrahobtesiheb li acuabej ut teßxtzßektânaheb li nequeßcßamoc be saß li tenamit. Nak nequeßril li cab li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb li tenamit, nequeßxseße. Nequeßxtûb li chßochß ut saß xbên aßan nequeßtakeß re nak târûk teßoc saß li tenamit re teßrêchani.
11Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
11Chanchan nak nanumeß li câk-sut-ikß nak teßxsach li tenamit. Teßxcßoxla nak riqßuin xcuanquil lix dioseb teßxbânu aßan, chan li Kâcuaß.
12Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
12Quixye laj Habacuc: —At Kâcuaß, at inDios Santo, ¿Ma incßaß ta biß ac cuancat chak chalen saß xticlajic? At Kâcuaß, lâat laj Colol ke. Incßaß taxak toâqßue chi câmc. Lâat tatqßuehok reheb laj Caldea chi numtâc saß kabên re takatoj rix li kamâc.
13Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
13Lâat tîc lâ chßôl ut incßaß nacuulac châcuu li incßaß us. ¿Cßaßut nak yal nacacuil li rahobtesînc li yôqueb chixbânunquil? Lâat mâcßaß nacabânu nak li incßaß useb xnaßleb nequeßxsach ruheb li tîqueb xchßôl.
14And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
14¿Cßaßut nak nacacanabeb li tenamit xjuneseb xcßulbal li raylal? Mâ ani nacßamoc be saß xyânkeb. Chanchaneb li car saß li nimaß ut chanchaneb li xul li nequeßxjucuqui rib saß chßochß.
15They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
15Eb laj Caldea nequeßnumta saß xbêneb li tenamit ut nequeßrêchaniheb. Chanchaneb laj car nak nequeßxchap li car riqßuin lix anzuelo ut chanchan nak nequeßxchap riqßuin lix yoy. Ut nequeßsahoß saß xchßôleb chirilbal li joß qßuial nequeßxchap.
16Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
16Eb laj chapol car nequeßxqßue xlokßal lix yoy ut lix anzuelo. Nequeßmayejac ut nequeßxcßat li pom chiru xban nak riqßuin aßan nequeßxsicß li cßaßru nequeßxtzaca.¿Ma junelic yôkeb chixchapbal li tenamit riqßuin lix yoy eb laj Caldea? Ut, ¿ma rajlal yôkeb chixsachbal ru li tenamit chi incßaß teßril xtokßobâl ruheb?
17Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
17¿Ma junelic yôkeb chixchapbal li tenamit riqßuin lix yoy eb laj Caldea? Ut, ¿ma rajlal yôkeb chixsachbal ru li tenamit chi incßaß teßril xtokßobâl ruheb?
