1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
1Eb li tenamit teßxye: —Kajalak kacßaßux ut sukßîko cuißchic riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Quixtakla chak li raylal saß kabên, abanan anakcuan toxtenkßa. Coxrahobtesi, abanan anakcuan toxqßuirtesi.
2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
2Usta ac xsach ku, abanan tixqßue cuißchic li kayußam chiru cuib oxib cutan ut tocuânk riqßuin.
3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
3Chikanauhak biß ru li Kâcuaß. Chikaqßuehak kachßôl chixnaubal ru chi tzßakal. Chßolchßo nak tâcßulûnk li Kâcuaß. Tâcßulûnk joß nak nachal li cutan rajlal. Tâcßulûnk joß nak nachal li hab re xtßakresinquil li chßochß saß xkßehil li âuc ut nachal ajcuiß mokon re xtßakresinquil li acuîmk.—
4O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

5Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
5Joßcan nak xintaklaheb lin profeta êriqßuin chixyebal resil li rakba âtin châlel saß êbên xban lê mâusilal. Ut riqßuin li âtin x-el chi xtzßûmal cue, tenebanbil li câmc saß êbên. Chanchan nak narepoc li câk nak tinrakok âtin saß êbên.
6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
6Mâcßaß aj e nak nequexmayejac chicuu cui incßaß nequex-uxtânan u. Ut mâcßaß aj e nak nequexcßatoc xul cui incßaß niquinêpâb chi anchal êchßôl.
7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
7Joß quixbânu laj Adán nak quixkßet li cuâtin, joßcan ajcuiß queßxbânu lin tenamit nak quineßxtzßektâna.
8Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
8Kßaxal nabaleb li cuînk yibru xnaßlebeb saß li tenamit Galaad ut nabaleb ajcuiß li nequeßxcamsi ras rîtzßin.
9And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

10I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
10Kßaxal yibru li quicuil saß xyânkeb lin tenamit Israel. Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín queßxlokßoni li yîbanbil dios ut li mâusilal aßan quixbon rib riqßuineb chixjunileb laj Israel.Ac xinxakab li cutan nak texinqßue chixtojbal rix lê mâc lâex aj Judá. Abanan tâcuulak xkßehil nak texcuosobtesi cuißchic.
11Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
