¹Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

¹Lâex laj tij, cherabihak li oc cue chixyebal. Lâex laj Israel, cheqßuehak retal li tinye. Ex ralal xcßajol li rey, abihomak li tinye anakcuan. Xexrakoc raj âtin saß xbêneb li tenamit saß tîquilal. Abanan incßaß xebânu. Joßcan nak târakekß âtin saß êbên lâex ut texinqßue chixtojbal rix lê mâc. Xeqßue êrib joß jun raßal reheb laj Mizpa joß ajcuiß reheb laj Tabor.

²And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

²Chanchan nak xebec jun li jul kßaxal cham chokß re li raßal xban lix qßuial li mâusilal nequebânu. Joßcan nak texinqßue chixtojbal rix lê mâusilal chêjunilex lâex.

³I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

³Lâin ninnau chanru lê naßleb lâex ralal xcßajol laj Efraín. Incßaß naru têmuk êrib chicuu ex aj Israel. Li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín xineßxtzßektâna ut yôqueb chixlokßoninquil li jalanil dios. Ut lix mâusilaleb aßan xbon rib saß êyânk chêjunilex lâex aj Israel.

⁴They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.

⁴Xban lê mâusilal incßaß chic nequecßoxla sukßîc cuiqßuin lâin lê Dios. Nequeqßue ban êchßôl chixlokßoninquil li yîbanquil dios. Joßcan nak incßaß naru tênau cuu nak lâin li Kâcuaß.

⁵And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

⁵Xban lix kßetkßetileb laj Israel nacßutun nak cuanqueb xmâc. Ut xban lix kßetkßetileb, eb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín teßosokß saß li mâc. Ut teßosokß ajcuiß saß lix mâqueb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá.

⁶They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

⁶Eb laj Israel nequeßxcßam li cuacax joß ajcuiß lix carner re nak teßxmayeja chicuu. Abanan mâcßaß rajbal nak nequeßmayejac chicuu xban nak lâin xintzßektânaheb.

⁷They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

⁷Nequeßxbânu rib nak niquineßxlokßoni, abanan mâcuaß lâin nequeßxlokßoni cuu. Aß ban chic li jalanil dios nequeßxlokßoni. Eb li ralal xcßajol mâcuaßeb chic intenamit. Joßcan nak chi sêb tebinsach ut tinsach ajcuiß lix naßajeb.

⁸Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

⁸Cheyâbasihak li trompeta aran Gabaa. Cheyâbasihak aran Ramá. Cheyehak resil aran Bet-avén xban nak ticlâc re li plêt. Cheqßuehak retal ut texxucuak lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Benjamín.

⁹Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

⁹Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín teßcanâk chi mâcßaß cuan reheb saß xkßehil li rakba âtin. Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel teßxnau nak relic chi yâl joßcaßin tâcßulmânk.

¹⁰The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

¹⁰Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Yô injoskßil xban nak eb laj cßamol be saß xyânkeb laj Judá queßcuulac êriqßuin lâex aj Israel ut queßxmakß chêru lê naßaj. Chanchan osoßqueb re saß li cacuil hab nak tinqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb.

¹¹Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

¹¹Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín nequeßrahobtesîc xban nak nequeßxtzßektâna li tîquilal ut nequeßxqßue xchßôl chixlokßoninquileb li yîbanbil dios.

¹²Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

¹²Joßcan nak lâin tebinqßue chi sachecß li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín. Ut teßosokß ajcuiß eb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Chanchanakeb chic li cßaßak re ru li namaxen ut li nacßuxeß xban li cßâms teßcanâk.

¹³When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

¹³Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín teßxqßue retal nak kßaxal ra cuanqueb cuiß. Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá teßxqßue retal nak cuanqueb saß chßaßajquilal. Joßcan nak teßxic riqßuin li rey Jareb aran Asiria chixtzßâmanquil xtenkßanquileb. Abanan aßan incßaß târûk tixtenkßaheb.

¹⁴For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

¹⁴Lâin tincßut lin joskßil chiruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín. Chanchanakin li cakcoj nak tinrahobtesiheb. Chanchanakin li ral li cakcoj nak tinrahobtesiheb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Joß nak naxchap lix tib li cakcoj, joßcan ajcuiß tinbânu lâin riqßuineb.

Toj cuanqueb saß raylal, tojoßnak teßxqßue retal lix mâusilaleb ut teßsukßîk cuiqßuin, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁵I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

¹⁵Tintzßektânaheb ut tincanabeb xjuneseb toj teßxqßue retal lix mâqueb ut teßoc chinsicßbal. Toj cuanqueb saß raylal, tojoßnak teßxqßue retal lix mâusilaleb ut teßsukßîk cuiqßuin, chan li Kâcuaß.
