¹For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.

¹Qßuehomak retal. Li Kâcuaß li kßaxal nim xcuanquil târisi Jerusalén ut Judá li cßaßak re ru li nequecßojob cuiß êchßôl. Ut târisi lê cua ut lê haß.

²The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

²Târisiheb li cuînk li cauheb rib joß ajcuiß eb li soldado ut eb laj rakol âtin. Târisiheb li profeta ut eb laj kße ut eb li chêqueb.

³The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

³Târisiheb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li mero ciento chi soldado. Târisiheb li cuînk li nînkeb xcuanquil joß eb ajcuiß laj qßuehol naßleb. Târisiheb li nequeßxnau xyîbanquil xsahob ru riqßuin chßîchß ut târisiheb ajcuiß li nequeßxnau chi us balakßic.

⁴And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

⁴Ut tixqßueheb li toj sâjeb chi taklânc saß êbên. Ut aßaneb chic teßtaklânk êre.

⁵And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

⁵Ut lê tenamit teßxtiquib pletic chi ribileb rib. Cuan li teßpletik riqßuineb rech cabal. Ut eb li toj sâjeb teßpletik riqßuineb li ac chêqueb. Ut li incßaß useb xnaßleb teßpletik riqßuineb li tîqueb xchßôl.

⁶When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

⁶Junak li al tixye re li ras saß rochoch lix yucuaß: —Lâat cuan lâ cuakß re tâqßue châcuix. Naru nacattaklan saß kabên. Ocan chi taklânc saß xbên li tenamit aßin li ac poßbil.—

⁷In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

⁷Abanan saß li cutan aßan li asbej tâchakßok ut tixye: —Lâin incßaß nacuaj oc chi taklânc saß xbên li tenamit xban nak saß cuochoch mâcßaß tzacaêmk chi moco cuan akßej. Incßaß naru tinêxakab chi taklânc saß xbên li tenamit aßin.—

⁸For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

⁸Relic chi yâl nak li tenamit Jerusalén xsacheß ru ut li tenamit Judá jucßbil chic xban nak incßaß us lix yehom xbânuhomeb ut xban nak xeßxkßetkßeti ribeb chiru li Kâcuaß. Ut riqßuin aßan xeßxchikß xjoskßil li Dios.

⁹The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

⁹Saß xnakßeb ru nacßutun li cßaßru nequeßxbânu. Ut aßan ajcuiß nayehoc re nak cuanqueb xmâc. Incßaß nequeßxmuk lix mâqueb. Nequeßrisi ban resil yalak bar joß queßxbânu laj Sodoma. Ra tâchâlk saß xbêneb xban nak xjuneseb yôqueb chixbokbal li raylal saß xbêneb.

¹⁰Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

¹⁰Us xak re li tîc xchßôl xban nak us tâêlk. Tixtzaca ru li racuîmk.

¹¹Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

¹¹Abanan eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb ra teßxcßul xban nak eb aßan teßxcßul lix kßajcâmunquil aß yal chanru lix yehom xbânuhomeb.

¹²As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

¹²Eb li nequeßrahobtesin reheb lin tenamit toj sâjeb ut eb li ixk nequeßnumta saß xbêneb. Ex intenamit, eb li nequeßcßamoc be chêru yôqueb chêbalakßinquil ut chixcßambal êbe chixbânunquil li incßaß us.

¹³The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

¹³Abanan li Kâcuaß ac xcauresi rib re târakok âtin saß xbêneb li tenamit.

¹⁴The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

¹⁴Târakok âtin saß xbêneb li nequeßcßamoc be ut saß xbêneb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li tenamit. Ut tixye reheb: —Lâex xexsachoc re lin tenamit ut yôquex chixcßambal li cßaßru reheb li nebaß saß lê rochoch.

¹⁵What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

¹⁵¿Cßaßut nak nequerahobtesiheb lin tenamit? ¿Cßaßut nak nequetacuasiheb li nebaß? chan li Kâcuaß li kßaxal nim xcuanquil.

¹⁶Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

¹⁶Li Kâcuaß quixye ajcuiß reheb: —Eb li ixk li cuanqueb Sión nequeßxnimobresi ribeb ut nequeßxtaksi li rilobâl nak nequeßbêc. Kßetkßet nequeßiloc. Chanchan yôqueb chi xajoc nak nequeßbêc. Ut nequeßrecßasi lix sahob ru li nequeßxqßue saß xcux rokeb.

¹⁷Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

¹⁷Re xqßuebal chixtojbaleb xmâc lâin tinqßueheb chi tßanecß li rismal. Tßuruß chic lix jolomeb tâcanâk re xcutbal xxutâneb, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁸In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

¹⁸Saß eb li cutan aßan li Kâcuaß târisiheb lix sahob ru li nequeßxqßue saß xcux rokeb. Târisiheb lix sahob ru li nequeßxqßue saß xjolomeb ut li nequeßxqßue saß xpêquemeb.

¹⁹The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

¹⁹Târisiheb ajcuiß li kßol li nequeßxqßue chi xcux joß eb ajcuiß li caßxic joß ajcuiß lix sahob ru li nequeßxqßue saß xcux rukßeb.

²⁰The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

²⁰Târisiheb ajcuiß li tßicr li nequeßrocsi saß xjolomeb, ut li kßol li nequeßrocsi saß xcux rokeb. Târisiheb ajcuiß li nequeßxchap cuiß li rismaleb joß ajcuiß li sununquil ban li nequeßrocsi ut li kßol li nequeßxqßue re xcolbaleb rib chiru li cßaßak re ru.

²¹The rings, and nose jewels,

²¹Ut târisiheb ajcuiß lix matkßabeb joß ajcuiß lix sahob ru li nequeßxqßue saß rußujeb.

²²The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

²²Ut târisiheb ajcuiß li châbil akßej ut eb li tßicr li nequeßxlan cuiß ribeb joß ajcuiß li tßicr li nequeßxqßue saß xjolom ut eb li bôls.

²³The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

²³Târisiheb ajcuiß li lem, li châbil tßicr lino, li jayil tßicr joß eb ajcuiß lix sahob ru li nequeßxqßue saß xjolomeb.

²⁴And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

²⁴Chokß rêkaj li sununquil ban tâcuânk xchuhil li camenak. Chokß rêkaj lix cßâmal xsaß tâcuânk li cßam. Chokß rêkaj li rismal jolom yîbanbil chi châbil, tßurußak saß lix jolomeb. Chokß rêkaj li châbil akßej teßxqßue li kßes ru tßicr. Chokß rêkaj lix chßinaßusaleb, cßatalak lix tibeleb.

²⁵Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

²⁵Eb li cuînk teßcamsîk xban nak mâcßaßak chic xmetzßêuheb saß eb li plêt.Eb li cuanqueb saß li tenamit teßyâbak ut teßxqßue li kßes ru tßicr chirixeb. Li tenamit Jerusalén tzßektânanbil tâcanâk.

²⁶And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

²⁶Eb li cuanqueb saß li tenamit teßyâbak ut teßxqßue li kßes ru tßicr chirixeb. Li tenamit Jerusalén tzßektânanbil tâcanâk.
