1Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
1Chanchan yal ikß nataklan reheb laj Efraín xban nak mâcßaß na-oc cuiß li nequeßxbânu. Chanchan li ikß nachal saß releb sakße bar cuanqueb cuiß laj Asiria. Nanumta li ticßtiß ut li mâusilal li nequeßxbânu. Nequeßxbânu li contrato riqßuineb laj Asiria ut nequeßxtakla lix aceite aran Egipto.
2The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
2Li Kâcuaß yô xjoskßil saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá ut tixqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob aß yal chanru xyehom xbânuhomeb. Tixqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb joß xcßulubeb.
3He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
3Toj mâjiß ajcuiß nequeßyoßla laj Jacob li kaxeßtônil yucuaß ut laj Esaú, ac yôqueb chixpletinquil ribeb. Chapcho lix cux rok laj Esaú xban laj Jacob nak queßyoßla. Ut mokon nak nim chic, laj Jacob quipletic riqßuin lix ángel li Kâcuaß.
4Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
4Saß li naßajej Bet-el quipletic riqßuin li ángel ut quinumta saß xbên. Laj Jacob quiyâbac ut quixtzßâma li rosobtesinquil toj retal nak li Dios quiâtinac riqßuin ut quirosobtesi ut co-osobtesîc ajcuiß lâo.
5Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
5Li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb li qßuila okßob chi ángel, aßan li qui-osobtesin re laj Jacob. Kâcuaß Dios xcßabaß.
6Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.
6Joßcan nak lâex ralal xcßajol laj Jacob, chexsukßîk riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Chexcuânk saß tîquilal ut chex-uxtânânk u. Ut cauhak taxak êchßôl riqßuin li Dios.
7He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
7Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín chanchaneb laj cßay incßaß tzßakal nequeßbisoc. Junes balakßic nacuulac chiruheb.
8And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
8Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín nequeßxye: —Chi yâl nak xobiomoß. Xkatau kabiomal chokß ke. Mâ ani tâyehok ke nak incßaß us xkabânu. Mâ ani tâyehok ke nak mâc xkabânu riqßuin li kacßanjel, chanqueb.
9And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
9Ut li Dios quixye reheb: —Lâin li Kâcuaß lê Dios, li qui-isin chak êre saß li naßajej Egipto. Lâin toj texinqßue cuißchic chi cuânc saß eb li muhebâl li yîbanbil riqßuin tßicr joß nequebânu nak nequexninkßeîc.
10I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
10Lâin xebintakla li profeta êriqßuin ut qßuila sut xincßut chêru lix yâlal. Lâin xinâtinac riqßuineb li profeta riqßuin jaljôquil ru âtin ut eb li profeta queßxcßut chêru lix yâlal, chan li Kâcuaß.
11Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
11—¿Ma incßaß ta biß numtajenak li mâc aran Galaad? Relic chi yâl nak numtajenak li mâc. Aran Gilgal nequeßxmayeja li cuacax. Abanan tâcuulak xkßehil nak mâcßaß chic teßoc cuiß lix artaleb. Chanchan li pec yal tûbtu teßcanâk saß lix naßajeb.
12And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
12Laj Jacob lê xeßtônil yucuaß quiêlelic ut cô saß lix chßochßeb laj Aram. Aran quitrabajic re nak tâqßuehekß li rixakil. Xban nak rixakil quiraj, quicßanjelac chokß aj ilol xul.
13And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
13Li Kâcuaß riqßuin profeta quirisiheb chak laj Israel aran Egipto. Ut riqßuin profeta, quixberesiheb.Cßajoß lix joskßil li Kâcuaß queßxchikß chak eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín. Li mâusilal ut li camsînc queßxbânu tâsukßîk cuißchic saß xbêneb. Li Kâcuaß tixqßueheb chixtojbal rix li mâusilal li queßxbânu.
14Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
14Cßajoß lix joskßil li Kâcuaß queßxchikß chak eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín. Li mâusilal ut li camsînc queßxbânu tâsukßîk cuißchic saß xbêneb. Li Kâcuaß tixqßueheb chixtojbal rix li mâusilal li queßxbânu.
