1Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
1Abihomak râtin li Kâcuaß, ex ralal xcßajol laj Israel, xban nak yô xjoskßil saß êbên lâex li cuanquex saß li naßajej aßin. Joßcaßin yô chixyebal li Kâcuaß Dios: —Mâ ani tîc xchßôl ut mâ ani na-uxtânan u ut mâ ani naqßuehoc retal nak Lâin li Kâcuaß Dios.
2By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
2Nequeßxbânu li juramento ut incßaß nequeßxbânu li cßaßru nequeßxye. Nequeßticßtißic ut nequeßcamsin. Nequeßelkßac ut nequeßmuxuc caxâr. Yô chi numtâc lix mâusilaleb ut junes xcamsinquil ribeb nequeßxbânu rajlal.
3Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
3Xban li mâusilal li nequeßxbânu, li chßochß tâchakik ut mâcßaß chic tâêlk chiru. Chixjunil li cuan chiru tâcâmk. Chixjunil li xul saß qßuicheß joßqueb ajcuiß li nequeßrupupic chiru choxa telajeßcâmk ut telajeßcâmk ajcuiß li car li nequeßcuan saß li palau.
4Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
4Lâex laj tij, mâ jun êre nequexru xkßusbaleb li tenamit xban nak lâex juntakßêt lê naßleb riqßuineb aßan.
5Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
5Chi kßek chi cutan nequebânu lê mâusilal ut joßcan ajcuiß nequeßxbânu li profeta li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Lâin tinsach ru lê tenamit, lâex aj Israel.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
6Teßsachekß lin tenamit saß êmâc lâex xban nak incßaß xecßut lix yâlal chiruheb. Xban nak lâex xetzßektâna lin chakßrab li xinqßue êre, joßcan ajcuiß nak texintzßektâna lâin ut texcuisi saß lê cßanjel. Incßaß chic teßcßanjelak chokß aj tij lê ralal êcßajol.
7As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
7Joß lê qßuial lâex aj tij, joßcan ajcuiß xqßuialeb lê mâc. Joßcan nak tincuisi lê lokßal ut tincßut êxutân.
8They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
8Nequetzaca li nequeßxmayeja lin tenamit re xtojbal rix lix mâqueb. Joßcan nak chokß êre lâex aj tij kßaxal us nak yôkeb chi mâcobc.
9And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
9Chanru lix naßlebeb li tenamit, joßcan ajcuiß ênaßleb lâex aj tij. Joßcan nak texinqßue chixtojbal rix lê mâc aß yal chanru lê yehom êbânuhom.
10For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
10Têtzaca li nequeßxmayeja li tenamit, abanan incßaß tâcßojlâk êchßôl. Têlokßoni li jalanil dios, ut têtzßâma êcocßal chiru. Abanan incßaß chic teßcuânk lê ralal êcßajol. Incßaß chic textâmk xban nak niquinêtzßektâna lâin.
11Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
11Ut quixye ajcuiß li Kâcuaß: —Yô chi sachc xnaßlebeb lin tenamit xban li calâc ut li ucßac vino ut xban li coßbêtac yumbêtac nequeßxbânu.
12My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
12Lin tenamit yôqueb chixtzßâmanquil xnaßlebeb chiru li pechßbil dios cheß. ¿Ma tâqßuehekß ta biß xnaßlebeb xban li yal cheß? Lin tenamit chanchan li ixakilbej nayumbêtac xban nak xineßxtzßektâna ut yôqueb xsicßbal jalan chic xdioseb.
13They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
13Nequeßxic saß li tzûl chi mayejac ut aran nequeßxcßat lix pomeb rubeleb li nînki cheß ji, álamo ut olmo, xban nak naquênac cuânc rubel lix mu. Xban nak lâex nequexcßamoc be chiruheb lê ralal êcßajol chixlokßoninquil li jalanil dios, joßcan nak nequecanabeb lê rabin chi yumbêtac ut nequecanabeb lê ralib chixmuxbal ru lix sumlajiqueb.
14I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
14Lâin incßaß tebinqßue chixtojbal rix xmâqueb lê rabin nak nequeßyumbêtac ut incßaß ajcuiß tebinqßue chixtojbal rix xmâqueb lê ralib nak nequeßxmux ru xsumlajiqueb. Incßaß tebinqßue chixtojbal rix xmâqueb xban nak lâex ajcuiß nequexcßamoc xbeheb nak nequexxic riqßuineb li ixk aj yumbêt ut nequexmayejac chiruheb li yîbanbil dios êrochbeneb li ixk li nequeßxkßaxtesi ribeb chi yumbêtac. Joßcan nak li tenamit li incßaß nequeßxtau xyâlal, teosokß.
15Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
15Usta niquinêtzßektâna lâex aj Israel, aban incßaß taxak tineßxtzßektâna eb laj Judá. Mexxic aran Gilgal chi lokßonînc, chi moco texxic Bet-avén, chi moco têbânu li juramento saß incßabaß lâin li yoßyôquil Dios.
16For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
16Lâex laj Israel, kßaxal cau êchßôl. Chanchanex li joskß aj cuacax. ¿Chan ta cuiß ru nak texinberesi saß châbilal joß nak naxberesi lix carner li châbil pastor?
17Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
17Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín xeßxkßaxtesi ribeb chixlokßoninquil li yîbanbil dios. Cheßcanabâk chixbânunquil li cßaßru nequeßraj.
18Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
18Nak nequeßaj ru saß xcalajiqueb, nequeß-oc chi coßbêtac yumbêtac. Aß li naßleb li nacßutuc xxutân, aßan li nacuulac chiruheb xbânunquil ut li tîquilal nequeßxtzßektâna.Chanchan nak teßcßamekß yalak bar xban li ikß nak teßosokß. Tâcuulak xkßehil nak teßxutânobresîk xban lix mâusilaleb.
19The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
19Chanchan nak teßcßamekß yalak bar xban li ikß nak teßosokß. Tâcuulak xkßehil nak teßxutânobresîk xban lix mâusilaleb.
