¹Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

¹Lâex aj Moab, li cuanquex saß li chaki chßochß Sela, taklahomakeb li carner re li rey li cuan saß li tzûl Sión.

²For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

²Eb laj Moab xeßisîc saß lix naßajeb chire li nimaß Arnón. Chanchaneb laj xicßanel xul li queßisîc saß eb lix soc.

³Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

³Nequeßxye reheb laj Judá: —Yehomak ke cßaßru us takabânu. Qßuehomak kanaßleb. Choêcol joß jun li cheß naxqßue li mu nak yô xtikcual li sakße. Lâo yôco chi êlelic. Moêcanab saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc ke.

⁴Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

⁴Choêcanab chi cuânc êriqßuin. Choêcol chiruheb li nequeßraj kasachbal, chanqueb. Eb aßan teßsachekß ruheb ut mâ anihakeb chic li nequeßrahobtesin ke.

⁵And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

⁵Saß eb li cutan aßan jun reheb li ralal xcßajol laj David tâoc chokß rey. Aßan tâtaklânk saß xbêneb li tenamit saß tîquilal ut tixraheb. Târakok âtin saß xyâlal ut tixtenkßaheb li tenamit chi cuânc saß tîquilal.

⁶We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

⁶Eb laj Judá nequeßxye: —Lâo nakabi resil nak kßaxal kßetkßeteb laj Moab. Nequeßxnimobresi ribeb ut nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb. Abanan mâcßaß rajbal nak nequeßxnimobresi ribeb, chanqueb.

⁷Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

⁷Eb laj Moab teßyâbak xban li raylal li teßxcßul. Chixjunileb teßyâbak nak tâjulticokß reheb lix tzacaêmkeb yîbanbil riqßuin chaki uvas li xeßxcuaß aran Kir-hareset.

⁸For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

⁸Quichakic lix naßajeb li acuîmk uvas li cuanqueb Hesbón ut Sibma. Queßyekßîc xbaneb li jalan xtenamiteb. Junxil li acuîmk uvas queßcuulac toj saß li tenamit Jazer. Queßcuulac toj saß li chaki chßochß ut toj saß li palau.

⁹Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

⁹Joßcan nak ninyâbac joß nequeßyâbac eb laj Jazer xban nak queßsacheß li racuîmk uvas. Ninyâbac chi kßaxal ra saß inchßôl chirixeb laj Hesbón ut eb laj Eleale. Incßaß chic teßxjap reheb xban xsahil xchßôleb nak teßxsicß ru li racuîmkeb. Aß chic li japoc e tâabîk nak yôk li plêt.

¹⁰And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

¹⁰Incßaß chic teßsahokß saß xchßôleb nak yôkeb chixsicßbal ru li racuîmkeb. Mâ ani chic tâbichânk saß xnaßajeb li uvas. Mâ ani chic tâyatzßok uvas saß li yatzßleb. Mâ ani chic na-ecßan xban nak lâin xcuisi lix sahil xchßôleb.

¹¹Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

¹¹Narahoß inchßôl xban li raylal li queßxcßul laj Moab. Nayotßeß inchßôl xban li raylal li queßxcßul laj Kir-hareset.

¹²And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

¹²Nequeßxtacuasi ribeb laj Moab nak nequeßxic saß li naßajej li najt xteram chixlokßoninquileb li jalanil dios. Mâcßaß rajbal nak nequeßxic chi tijoc chiru lix artaleb.

¹³This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

¹³Joßcan quixye li Kâcuaß chirixeb laj Moab junxil.Abanan anakcuan li Kâcuaß xye: —Eb laj Moab oxib chihab aj chic teßcuânk. Bisbil aj chic lix cutaneb joß nak nabiseß rix lix cutan junak li môs. Tâisîk xcuanquileb laj Moab. Usta kßaxal nabaleb, abanan moco nabaleb ta chic li teßcolekß ut moco cauhak ta chic ribeb.—

¹⁴But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.

¹⁴Abanan anakcuan li Kâcuaß xye: —Eb laj Moab oxib chihab aj chic teßcuânk. Bisbil aj chic lix cutaneb joß nak nabiseß rix lix cutan junak li môs. Tâisîk xcuanquileb laj Moab. Usta kßaxal nabaleb, abanan moco nabaleb ta chic li teßcolekß ut moco cauhak ta chic ribeb.—
