¹The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

¹Aßan aßin li quicßutbesîc chiru laj Isaías li ralal laj Amoz xban li Dios chirix li raylal li tixcßul li tenamit Babilonia.

²Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

²Taksihomak lê bandera saß xbên junak li tzûl mâcßaß cheß chiru. Japomak êre chixyebal reheb li soldado nak teßoc saß li oquebâl li cuanqueb cuiß li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li tenamit.

³I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

³Li Kâcuaß quixsicß ruheb li châbil soldado li cauheb rib re nak teßxic chi pletic re xqßuebal chixtojbal xmâqueb li tenamit li yô xjoskßil saß xbêneb. Quixsicß ruheb li teßsahokß xchßôl chixqßuebal xlokßal.

⁴The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

⁴Abihomak li chokînc saß xbên li tzûl. Aßaneb li qßuila soldado. Aßaneb li qßuila tenamit li queßxjunaji ribeb. Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios yô chixcauresinquileb lix soldado re teßpletik.

⁵They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

⁵Najt xeßchal chak li soldados. Li Kâcuaß yô chi châlc rochbeneb re tixsacheb ru li cuanqueb Babilonia xban nak yô xjoskßil saß xbêneb.

⁶Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

⁶Japomak êre chi yâbac xban li raylal li têcßul xban nak cuulac re xkßehil nak li Kâcuaß Dios tixsach êru.

⁷Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

⁷Tâchßinânk xchßôleb chixjunileb li cristian ut mâcßaßak chic xmetzßêuheb.

⁸And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

⁸Nabal li raylal tâchâlk saß xbêneb ut yôkeb xxiu. Cßajoß li raylal li teßxcßul. Chanchanak li raylal li naxcßul li ixk li oc re chi qßuirâc. Teßxcaßya ribeb ut teßsach xchßôleb chi rilbal li cßaßru teßxcßul li jun chßôl chic ut teßxutânak.

⁹Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

⁹Cuulac re xkßehil nak li Kâcuaß târakok âtin saß xbêneb li tenamit. Cßajoß li raylal teßxcßul saß li cutan aßan nak li Dios tixcßutbesi lix joskßil chiruheb. Tixsach chixjunil li cuan Babilonia ut tixsach ajcuiß ruheb chixjunileb laj mâc.

¹⁰For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

¹⁰Li chahim ut lix sahob ru li choxa incßaß chic teßlemtzßûnk. Tâkßojyînokß ru li sakße usta tojeß êlc yô chak. Ut li po incßaß chic tixcutanobresi li ruchichßochß.

¹¹And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

¹¹Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Lâin tinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Tinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb xban li mâusilal nequeßxbânu. Tincubsi xcuanquileb li nequeßxnimobresi ribeb ut tinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb li nequeßrahobtesin.

¹²I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

¹²Moco qßuiheb ta chic li cuînk li teßcanâk chi yoßyôqueb. Chanchanakeb li châbil oro li cuan aran Ofir xban nak moco nabalakeb ta chic.

¹³Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

¹³Lâin tincuecßasi li choxa ut tincuecßasi ajcuiß li ruchichßochß saß xnaßaj saß li cutan nak lâin li nimajcual Dios tincuisi lin joskßil saß xbêneb li cuanqueb Babilonia.

¹⁴And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

¹⁴Eb li jalaneb xtenamit teßêlelik re teßxic saß lix tenamiteb. Chanchanakeb li quej li nequeßêlelic chiruheb laj yo. Chanchanakeb li carner li nequeßxchaßchaßi ribeb yalak bar xban nak mâcßaß aj ilol reheb.

¹⁵Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

¹⁵Chixjunileb li teßchapekß teßcamsîk chi chßîchß.

¹⁶Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

¹⁶Eb li cocßal sacßbileb chiru pec nak teßcamsîk chiruheb li naßbej yucuaßbej. Telajeßcßamekß chixjunil li cßaßru cuan reheb saß rochocheb. Ut eb li rixakileb telajeßchapekß xbaneb li cuînk.

¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

¹⁷Tinqßue saß xchßôleb laj Medo re nak teßxic chi pletic riqßuineb. Eb laj Medo incßaß nequeßxra ru li oro chi moco li plata.

¹⁸Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

¹⁸Riqßuin lix tzimaj telajeßxcamsiheb li cuînk li toj sâjeb. Incßaß teßril xtokßobâl ruheb li cocßal chi moco teßril xtokßobâl ruheb li cßulaßal.

¹⁹And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

¹⁹Li naßajej Babilonia kßaxal chßinaßus saß xyânkeb chixjunileb li tenamit. Chiruheb laj Caldea kßaxal lokß ut nim xcuanquil. Abanan lâin li Kâcuaß tinsach li tenamit aßan joß nak xinsacheb li tenamit Sodoma ut Gomorra.

²⁰It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

²⁰Mâ ani chic teßcuânk aran. Chalen anakcuan incßaß chic tâcuânk tenamit saß li naßajej aßan. Eb laj árabe incßaß chic teßxyîb lix muhebâleb aran, chi moco eb laj ilol xul teßxqßue lix quetômkeb aran.

²¹But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

²¹Aran teßcuânk li xul li nequeßcuan saß li chaki chßochß. Eb li cuarom teßcuânk saß eb li ochoch ut teßcuânk ajcuiß aran li nînki xul avestruz xcßabaß.

Cuulac re xkßehil nak tâsachekß ru li tenamit Babilonia.—

²²And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

²²Eb li chßo hix ut laj xoj teßxjap reheb saß eb li palacio ut saß eb li cab li najt xteram li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb li tenamit. Cuulac re xkßehil nak tâsachekß ru li tenamit Babilonia.—
