¹Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

¹Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Ex aj Babilonia, cubsihomak êrib. Chunlankex saß chßochß chi mâcßaß chic êcuanquil. Junxil chanchanex jun li tukß ix xban nak lâex mâ jun sut xexchapeß xban jalan tenamit. Abanan anakcuan moco joßcanex ta chic. Lâex li rarôquex nak xexcuan texcanâk chokß rahobtesinbil môs.

²Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

²Chapomak êcaß ut ocanquex chixqueßbal lê cßaj. Isihomak lê tßicr li nequetzßap cuiß lê ru. Ut taksihomak lê rakß re nak texnumekß saß li haß chi mâcßaß lê xâb.

³Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.

³Anakcuan tâcßutûnk chiruheb chixjunileb li cßaßak re ru xutânal xlajêbânu. Chicßutûnk nak muxbil chic êru. Lâin tinqßue rêkaj êre li rahobtesînc xebânu ut mâ ani târûk tâcolekß chicuu, chan li Dios.

⁴As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

⁴Laj Colol ke, aßan li nimajcual Dios, lix santil Dios eb laj Israel. Naxye:

⁵Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

⁵—Lâex aj Babilonia, cßojlankex ut mex-ecßan chic. Canâkex saß kßojyîn xban nak mâcßaß chic êcuanquil saß xbêneb li xnînkal tenamit.

⁶I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

⁶Nak yô injoskßil saß xbên lin tenamit quinkßaxtesiheb saß êrukß lâex. Quinqßue lin tenamit chi cßutecß xxutân. Ut lâex incßaß xeril xtokßobâl ruheb. Usta ac tîxeb, xeqßueheb chi cßanjelac chi cau.

⁷And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

⁷Lâex queye, “Junelic tâcuânk kacuanquil.” Abanan incßaß quecßoxla li cßaßru quebânu, chi moco quecßoxla li cßaßru yôquex chixcßulbal anakcuan.

⁸Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

⁸Joßcan nak cherabihak li yôquin chixyebal êre, lâex li nequexcuan chi sa saß êchßôl. Lâex cßojcßo êchßôl ut nequecßoxla nak mâcßaß têcßul ut nequeye saß êchßôl: Lâo cuan kacuanquil. Mâ ani chic cuan xcuanquil joß li kacuanquil lâo, chanquex. Saß êchßôl lâex nak mâ jaruj têcßul li raylal joß nequeßxcßul li ixk li nequeßcam xbêlomeb malaj ut joß eb li nequeßcam li ralal xcßajol.

⁹But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

⁹Abanan kßaxal ra têcßul. Saß junpât tâchâlk li raylal saß êbên. Chiru jun cutan tâsachekß lê cuanquil. Chanchanakex chic junak li ixk li xcam xbêlom malaj ut joß junak li xcam ralal xcßajol. Usta lâex aj kße ut usta nequenau tûlac, abanan incßaß târûk têcol êrib.

¹⁰For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

¹⁰Xecßojob êchßôl riqßuin li mâusilal xebânu ut xeye, “Mâ ani na-iloc ke,” chanquex. Xebalakßi êrib xban nak xecßoxla nak cuan ênaßleb ut xeye, “Lâo kßaxal cuan kacuanquil. Mâ jun chic cuan xcuanquil joß lâo,” chanquex.

¹¹Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

¹¹Tâchâlk li raylal saß êbên ut incßaß târûk têcol êrib chiru usta lâex aj kße. Chi mâcßaß saß êchßôl têcßul li raylal ut mâcßaß târûk têbânu re xcolbal êrib. Chi incßaß nequenau kßaxal ra têcßul.

¹²Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

¹²Kßehinkex ut tûlankex, joß yôquex chak chixbânunquil chalen saß êsâjilal. Têril cui cuan rajbal. Têril ma cauhak chic êrib chi numtâc saß xbêneb li tenamit xban li tûlac ut li kßehînc nequebânu.

¹³Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

¹³Tacuajenakex chirabinquil li qßuila naßleb li nequeßxqßue aj qßuehol naßleb. Châlkeb li nequeßkßehin riqßuin li chahim, li nequeßyehoc re cßaßru tâcßulmânk saß li po junjûnk. Cheßxyal xkße chêcolbal chiru li cßaßru tâcßulmânk.

¹⁴Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

¹⁴Eb aßan teßsachekß ruheb. Incßaß naru teßxcol rixeb. Chanchanakeb li qßuim nak teßcßatekß riqßuin xam. Li xam aßan mâcuaß re teßxkßixna ribeb. Re ban xsachbal ruheb.Eb aßan incßaß textenkßa usta xesicß êtenkßanquil riqßuineb chalen saß êsâjilal. Eb aßan teßxic chixbânunquil li cßaßru nequeßraj ut texcanab êjunes. Mâ jun reheb aßan tâcolok êre, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁵Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

¹⁵Eb aßan incßaß textenkßa usta xesicß êtenkßanquil riqßuineb chalen saß êsâjilal. Eb aßan teßxic chixbânunquil li cßaßru nequeßraj ut texcanab êjunes. Mâ jun reheb aßan tâcolok êre, chan li Kâcuaß.
