¹Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

¹Li nimajcual Dios quixye: —Raylal tâchâlk saß xbêneb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb laj Judá xban nak xjuneseb nequeßxcßûb ru cßaßru teßxbânu ut incßaß nequeßxpatzß xnaßlebeb cue lâin. Joßcan nak yô chi numtâc lix mâqueb.

²That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

²Nequeßxic Egipto chixsicßbal xtenkßanquileb chi incßaß nequeßxpatzß cue ma us malaj ut incßaß us li nequeßxbânu. Nequeßraj nak li tenamit Egipto tâcolok reheb. Eb aßan cauheb xchßôl riqßuin laj faraón.

³Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

³Abanan laj faraón mâcßaßak xcuanquil chixtenkßanquileb. Tâcßutekß xxutâneb nak tâcubsîk xcuanquileb xban nak queßxpatzß lix tenkßanquileb riqßuineb laj Egipto.

⁴For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

⁴Usta ac xeßxtakla laj cßamol be aran Zoán, ut usta ac xeßxtaklaheb lix takl aran Hanes,

⁵They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

⁵abanan xutânal teßêlk xban nak incßaß teßtenkßâk xbaneb. Teßbalakßîk xban li tenamit li mâcßaß nequeßoc cuiß. Mâcßaß aj e nak xeßcôeb riqßuineb usta xeßxcßojob xchßôleb saß xbêneb laj Egipto.—

⁶The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

⁶Aßan aßin li esilal chirixeb li xul li cuanqueb Neguev. Li Neguev, aßan jun li naßajej xiu xiu numecß cuiß xban nak aran cuanqueb li cakcoj ut li cßantiß li kßaxal sêb chi âlinac ut li cßantiß li napiscßoc chi junpât. Eb laj Israel yôqueb chi numecß aran re teßxic Egipto chixpatzßbal lix tenkßanquil. Yôqueb chixcßambal chirix bûr ut camello lix biomaleb re teßxqßue reheb laj Egipto. Abanan eb laj Egipto moco teßxtenkßaheb ta.

⁷For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

⁷Relic chi yâl nak mâcßaß na-oc cuiß li teßxbânu eb laj Egipto. Moco naru ta teßxtenkßaheb laj Israel. Joßcan nak ninye: —Eb laj Egipto nequeßxnimobresi ribeb, abanan mâcßaß naru nequeßxbânu.—

⁸Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

⁸Li Kâcuaß quixye cue nak tintzßîba retalil saß jun li hu chanru lix naßlebeb laj Israel. Li hu aßan cuânk junelic ut aßanak retalil chanru lix naßlebeb.

⁹That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

⁹Li tenamit aßin kßetkßeteb ut nequeßbalakßin. Incßaß nequeßraj rabinquil lix chakßrab li Dios.

¹⁰Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

¹⁰Nequeßxye reheb li profeta: —Micßuteß chic li visión chêru. Mêye chic ke cßaßru us takabânu. Ye ban ke li chßinaßus rabinquil, usta moco yâl ta.

¹¹Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

¹¹Elenkex chiku. Canabomak xbânunquil li us li yôquex chixbânunquil. Incßaß chic nakaj rabinquil li cßaßru nequeye chirix li kaDios santo, lâo aj Israel, chanqueb.

¹²Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

¹²Joßcan nak li nimajcual Dios, li Dios santo li nakalokßoni lâo aj Israel, naxye chi joßcaßin: —Lâex xetzßektâna li cuâtin. Xecßojob êchßôl riqßuin li pletic ut li mâusilal.

¹³Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

¹³Lâex cuan lê mâc. Chanchanex jun li tzßac najt xteram, jorol. Chi mâcßaß saß êchßôl tâtßanekß.

¹⁴And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

¹⁴Lâex tex-osokß joß nak najoreß li cuc nak natßaneß ut lix cßaj incßaß chic nacßanjelac, chi moco re risinquil li ru xam chi moco re xlecbal li haß saß li jul.—

¹⁵For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

¹⁵Ut quixye ajcuiß li Kâcuaß li Dios Santo li nequeßxlokßoni eb laj Israel: —Sukßinkex cuiqßuin. Cßojobomak lê chßôl cuiqßuin ut texcolekß. Cui lâex tex-oybenînk cuiqßuin, têtau lê cacuilal, chan li Dios. Abanan lâex incßaß queraj.

¹⁶But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

¹⁶Lâex xeye: —Lâo toêlelik chirixeb li cacuây, chanquex. Joßcan nak tex-êlelik. Xeye: —Lâo toxic chirix cacuây li kßaxal cau nequeßâlinac, chanquex. Abanan eb li yôkeb chêrâlinanquil kßaxal cuißchic cau teßâlinak chêru lâex.

¹⁷One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

¹⁷Jun mil êre lâex tex-êlelik chiru jun li cuînk li xicß na-iloc êre. Ut chêjunilex tex-êlelik chiruheb ôb chi cuînk li xicß nequeßiloc êre. Moco nabalex ta chic texcanâk. Chanchanakex jun li bandera xakxo saß xbên bol.

¹⁸And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

¹⁸Abanan li Kâcuaß yô chiroybeninquil re târuxtâna êru. Naraj xcßutbesinquil chêru nak aßan naxtokßoba êru. Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios aßan tîc xchßôl. Us xak reheb li nequeßxcßojob xchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß.

¹⁹For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

¹⁹Relic chi yâl lâex texcuânk cuißchic aran Sión saß li tenamit Jerusalén. Incßaß chic texyâbak. Kßaxal nim li ruxtân li Kâcuaß. Nak têyâba lix cßabaß, li Kâcuaß târabi lê tij.

²⁰And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

²⁰Li Kâcuaß tixqßue li raylal saß êbên ut texrahobtesi. Abanan aßan ajcuiß tâcuânk êriqßuin chêtenkßanquil. Laj tzolol êre incßaß tixmuk rib chêru. Têril ban riqßuin xnakß êru laj tzolol êre.

²¹And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

²¹Cui lâex têraj xbânunquil li incßaß us, têrabi nak li Kâcuaß tââtinak chak chêrix ut tixye êre: —Mêbânu li incßaß us. Bânuhomak ban li tîquilal, chaßak êre.

²²Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

²²Lâex incßaß chic têraj lê yîbanbil dios li qßuebil plata ut oro chirixeb. Têtzßektânaheb joß li mul. Ut têye: —Incßaß chic nakaj rilbaleb, chaßakex.

²³Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

²³Nak lâex tex-âuk, li Kâcuaß tixtakla li hab re xtßakresinquil lê racuîmk. Ut nabal ru lê racuîmk tixqßue êre. Ut tzßakalak ajcuiß li pachßayaß reheb lê quetômk.

²⁴The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

²⁴Ut kßaxal châbilak ajcuiß lix tzacaêmkeb lê bôyx ut lê bûr li teßbecok re li chßochß.

²⁵And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

²⁵Nak tâcuulak xkßehil nak teßcamsîk eb li xicß nequeßiloc êre, tâcuânk cuißchic li haß saß eb li nimaß li cuanqueb saß eb li xbên bol ut saß eb li xbên tzûl.

²⁶Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

²⁶Li po tâlemtzßûnk joß li sakße. Ut li sakße kßaxal cuißchic tâlemtzßûnk. Cuukub sut xtikcual chiru li naxqßue rajlal cutan. Chixjunil aßin tâcßulmânk saß eb li cutan nak li Kâcuaß tixcßameb cuißchic saß usilal lix tenamit ut tixqßueheb cuißchic chi cuânc saß lix naßajeb.

²⁷Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

²⁷Lix cuanquil ut lix lokßal li Kâcuaß nacßutun chi najt. Lix joskßil nacßutun riqßuin li xam ut riqßuin li sib. Lix tzßûmal re nacßutuc re lix joskßil ut li rußuj rakß chanchan li xam li nasachoc.

²⁸And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

²⁸Nak namusikßac li Kâcuaß, aßan chanchan jun li nimaß li yô chi butßînc ut lix chamal nacuulac toj saß xcuxeb li cristian ut naxsach chixjunil. Li Kâcuaß tixtzßil rix li nequeßxbânu li xnînkal ru tenamit ut tixram xbeheb li yôqueb chixbânunquil li mâusilal. Chanchan nak naqßueheß li chßîchß saß re li cacuây.

²⁹Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

²⁹Abanan lâex, lix tenamit li Dios, texbichânk xban xsahil êchßôl joß nequebânu saß li kßojyîn nak yôquex chixninkßeinquil li pascua. Tâsahokß saß êchßôl joß nak eb li tenamit yôqueb chixchßeßbal lix xôlb nak nequeßxic saß lix tzûl li Kâcuaß laj Colol reheb laj Israel.

³⁰And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

³⁰Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios tixqßue chi abîc lix yâb lix cux ut tixcßutbesi lix joskßil chiruheb chixjunileb riqßuin xam ut riqßuin li cacuil hab ut sakbach ut riqßuin câk-sut-ikß.

³¹For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

³¹Eb laj Asiria cßajoß nak queßxrahobtesiheb laj Israel. Abanan li Kâcuaß tixsacheb ru yal riqßuin li râtin.

³²And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

³²Nak li Kâcuaß tixqßue li junjûnk chi raylal saß xbêneb laj Asiria, eb laj Israel yôkeb chixchßeßbaleb lix pandero ut lix arpa. Li Kâcuaß, aßan li tâpletik riqßuineb laj Asiria.Ac junxil cauresinbil chak li naßajej Tofet li tâcßatekß cuiß lix reyeb laj Asiria. Li naßajej aßan nim ru ut cßajoß xchamal. Nabal li siß ac tusbil saß li naßajej aßan. Li Kâcuaß nak tâmusikßak tixloch xxamlel ut tixcßat riqßuin azufre.

³³For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

³³Ac junxil cauresinbil chak li naßajej Tofet li tâcßatekß cuiß lix reyeb laj Asiria. Li naßajej aßan nim ru ut cßajoß xchamal. Nabal li siß ac tusbil saß li naßajej aßan. Li Kâcuaß nak tâmusikßak tixloch xxamlel ut tixcßat riqßuin azufre.
