¹The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

¹Aßan aßin resil li raylal li tâchâlk saß xbêneb laj Babilonia, li cuanqueb saß li chaki chßochß li cuan chire li palau. Eb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb chanchanakeb li câk-sut-ikß nak teßchâlk saß li chaki chßochß, li naßajej li kßaxal yibru.

²A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

²Jun li visión kßaxal ra rilbal quicßutbesîc chicuu. Li quicuil saß li visión aßan nak yôqueb chi balakßînc ut yôqueb chi sachoc. Ayukex lâex aj Elam. Ayukex chi pletic riqßuineb laj Babilonia. Joßcan ajcuiß lâex aj Medo. Ayukex chi pletic re nak târakekß li raylal li queßxbânu eb laj Babilonia.

³Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

³Cßajoß lin xiu ut ra cuanquin xban li cßaßru quicuil saß li visión. Chanchan li raylal li naxcßul li ixk li oc re chi qßuirâc. Nayotßeß inchßôl xban li cßaßru quicuabi ut sachso innaßleb xban li cßaßru quicuil.

⁴My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

⁴Ninsicsot xban inxiu ut nachßinan inchßôl. Nak sa saß inchßôl ninsahoß nak na-oc li kßojyîn. Abanan anakcuan nak yô inxiu incßaß nacuaj nak tâoc li kßojyîn.

⁵Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

⁵Saß li visión quicuil nak ac xeßxyîb li mêx. Ac xeßxhel li tßicr re teßcuaßak cuiß. Nequeßcuaßac ut nequeßucßac. Saß junpât na-abîc li xyâb xcux li nataklan nak naxye: —Cuaclinkex lâex li nequextaklan saß xbêneb li soldado. Cauresihomak lê chßîchß re xcolbal êrib.—

⁶For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

⁶Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye cue: —Ayu ut xakab junak aj qßuehol etal ut ye re nak tixye resil li cßaßru târil.

⁷And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

⁷Laj qßuehol etal târileb li cuînk li yôqueb chi châlc saß li carruaje quelonbil xban jun sumal chi cacuây, ut târileb li cuînk li yôqueb chi châlc chirix li bûr ut li camello. Tixqßue retal chi us li cßaßru teßxbânu, chan.

⁸And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

⁸Ut laj qßuehol etal quixjap re joß nak naxjap re li cakcoj ut quixye: —At Kâcuaß, chi kßek chi cutan yôquin chi cßacßalênc arin, chan.

⁹And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

⁹Saß junpât queßchal li cuînk saß xcarruaje. Ut laj qßuehol etal quixye: —¡X-osoß li tenamit Babilonia! ¡Xsacheß ru li tenamit Babilonia! Chixjunileb lix dioseb jucßbileb ut tßantßôqueb saß chßochß, chan.

¹⁰O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

¹⁰Ex intenamit Israel, kßaxal ra xecßul joß li ru li trigo li nayekßman re risinquil li rix. Yôquin chixyebal êre li cßaßru quixye cue li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel, chan laj Isaías.

¹¹The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

¹¹Aßan aßin resil li cßaßru teßxcßul eb laj Edom: Eb aßan quineßrâtina chak toj Seir ut queßxye: —Lâat li yôcat chi cßacßalênc, ¿jokße cuanco? ¿Jokße tânumekß li kßojyîn? chanqueb.

¹²The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

¹²Ut li yô chi cßacßalênc quixye: —Cutanocß re, abanan aß que cuißchic na-oc li kßojyîn. Cui tâcuaj patzßoc, tatsukßîk cuißchic, chan.

¹³The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

¹³Aßan aßin li resil li cßaßru teßxcßul eb laj Arabia: —Lâex aj Dedán li yôquex chi numecß, tênumsi li kßojyîn saß li qßuicheß re Arabia.

¹⁴The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

¹⁴Lâex li cuanquex Tema, qßuehomak xcua rucßaheb li yôqueb chi êlelic.

¹⁵For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

¹⁵Yôqueb chi êlelic re nak incßaß teßcamsîk chi chßîchß chi moco riqßuin tzimaj. Yôqueb chi êlelic re nak incßaß teßcamsîk saß li plêt.

¹⁶For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

¹⁶Aßan aßin li quixye cue li Kâcuaß: —Joßcaßin saß jun chihab tâosokß chixjunil lix lokßaleb laj Cedar, joß nak nabiseß xcutan jun li môs.Usta kßaxal cauheb xchßôl chi pletic eb li cuînk aj Cedar, li nequeßcutuc tzimaj, abanan moco qßui ta chic li teßcolekß. Lâin li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninyehoc re aßin.—

¹⁷And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.

¹⁷Usta kßaxal cauheb xchßôl chi pletic eb li cuînk aj Cedar, li nequeßcutuc tzimaj, abanan moco qßui ta chic li teßcolekß. Lâin li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninyehoc re aßin.—
