¹Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

¹Abihomak lâex li cuanquex saß najtil tenamit. Qßuehomak retal li oc cue chixyebal. Nak toj mâjiß ninyoßla li Kâcuaß quixsicß chak cuu chi cßanjelac chiru. Nak toj mâjiß ninyoßla ac naxnau ani incßabaß.

²And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

²Quixqßue innaßleb re tinnau âtinac chi châbil. Chanchanin jun li chßîchß kßes rußuj. Aßan qui-iloc cue re nak mâcßaß tincßul. Quinixcauresi chi us. Chanchanin li tzimaj li kßes rußuj cuan saß rochochil.

³And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

³Li Dios quixye cue: —At Israel, lâat tatcßanjelak chicuu. Lâat tatcßutbesînk re inlokßal, chan.

⁴Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

⁴Abanan lâin quincßoxla nak yôquin chi cßanjelac chi mâcßaß rajbal. Saß inchßôl lâin nak yôquin chixchoybal inmetzßêu chi mâcßaß aj e. Abanan, li Dios naxnau ma us ma incßaß yôquin chixbânunquil. Aßan tâqßuehok re lin kßajcâmunquil.

⁵And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

⁵Li Kâcuaß quiqßuehoc cue chi yoßlâc riqßuin lin naß re nak tinsukßisiheb cuißchic riqßuin laj Israel, li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob. Chiru li Kâcuaß lin Dios lâin cuan inlokßal ut li Kâcuaß lin Dios naqßuehoc inmetzßêu.

⁶And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁶Li Kâcuaß quixye cue: —Mâcuaß caßaj cuiß aßin li cßanjel tâbânu. Tinqßue ban chic jun li cßanjel âcue kßaxal lokß.

⁷Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

⁷Li Dios santo, laj Colol reheb laj Israel quixye re li jun li xicß qui-ileß xbaneb li xnînkal ru tenamit ut quitzßektânâc xbaneb usta quicßanjelac chiruheb: —Eb li rey tateßril ut teßxqßue âlokßal.

⁸Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

⁸Joßcaßin naxye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios: —Saß xkßehil lâin tinsume lâ tij. Saß xkßehil li colba-ib lâin tintenkßânk âcue. Lâin tin-ilok âcue ut tatinqßue chixxakabanquil lin contrato riqßuineb lin tenamit. Tatinqßue cuißchic chi cuânc saß lâ naßaj ut tâcßameb cuißchic lin tenamit saß xnaßajeb.

⁹That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

¹⁰They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

¹¹And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

¹²Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

¹²Cuan li teßchâlk chak saß najtil tenamit. Teßchâlk saß li norte ut saß li oeste ut teßchâlk ajcuiß saß li naßajej Sinim.

¹³Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

¹³At choxa, jap âcue xban xsahil âchßôl. At ruchichßochß, chisahokß âchßôl. Ut lâex tzûl chisahokß saß êchßôl xban nak li Kâcuaß tixcßojob cuißchic xchßôleb lix tenamit ut târil cuißchic xtokßobâl ruheb nak yôqueb chi cßuluc raylal.

¹⁴But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.

¹⁴Eb li cuanqueb Sión yôqueb chixyebal: —Li Kâcuaß xoxcanab kajunes. Li kaDios xosach saß xchßôl, chanqueb.

¹⁵Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

¹⁵Li Dios quixye: —¿Ma nasach ta biß saß xchßôl lix cßulaßal junak naßbej? ¿Ma tixcanab ta biß xrâbal? Usta li naßbej nasach saß xchßôl lix cßulaßal, lâin incßaß texsachk saß inchßôl.

¹⁶Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

¹⁶Junelic ban cuânkex saß inchßôl. Chanchan nak tzßîbanbil lê cßabaß saß li cuukß. Junelic cuan saß inchßôl li tzßac li sutsu cuiß lê tenamit.

¹⁷Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

¹⁷Eb li teßcuaclesînk cuißchic re lê tenamit saß junpât teßcßulûnk. Ut li queßsachoc êru ut queßpoßoc re lê tenamit teßêlelik.

¹⁸Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.

¹⁸Ilon châjun sutam. Qßue retal nak eb li tenamit yôqueb chi sukßîc cuißchic saß xtenamiteb.

¹⁹For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

¹⁹Usta xsacheß ru lâ tenamit ut xtzßektânâc lâ chßochß, abanan teßnabalokß cuißchic li tenamit ut incßaß chic tâtzßaklok li naßajej chokß reheb. Ut eb li xeßsachoc âcuu teßcuânk chi najt.

²⁰The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

²⁰Ut eb li cocßal li xeßyoßla nak yôcat chixcßulbal li raylal teßxye âcue, “Incßaß tzßakal li naßajej aßin chokß ke. Qßue junak kanaßaj nim re tocuânk cuiß,” chaßakeb.

²¹Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

²¹Ut lâat tâye saß âchßôl, “¿Bar xeßchal chak li tenamit aßin? Lâin ra saß inchßôl xban nak lin tenamit xcana chi mâcßaß chic cristian chi saß. Xintzßektânâc ut quincßameß saß jalan naßajej. Quincanabâc injunes. Ut ¿bar xeßchal chak eb li tenamit aßin?”

²²Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

²²Aßan aßin li naxye li nimajcual Dios: —Lâin tinye reheb li xnînkal ru tenamit nak teßxqßueheb chi sukßîc cuißchic lê tenamit. Tinye reheb nak teßxtaklaheb lê ralal êcßajol. Chanchan pakonbil teßxbânu reheb nak teßxtakla cuißchic saß lix tenamiteb.

²³And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

²³Eb li rey ut eb li reina chanchanakeb lix naß xyucuaßeb lâ tenamit. Eb li jalan tenamit teßxcubsi ribeb châcuu. Teßxcuikßib ribeb châcuu re xqßuebal âlokßal. Ut lâat tânau nak lâin li Kâcuaß ut eb li cauheb xchßôl cuiqßuin incßaß teßchßinânk xchßôleb.

²⁴Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

²⁴¿Ma târûk ta biß tâmakßekß chiru junak cuînk cau rib li cßaßru târêchani saß li plêt? ¿Ma târûk ta biß tâcolekß li prêx chiru laj ilol re li kßaxal joskß?

²⁵But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

²⁵Li Kâcuaß naxye: —Aßan aßin li tâcßulmânk. Eb li cuanqueb chi prêxil teßmakßekß chiruheb li soldado. Ut li cßaßru quirêchani li kßaxal joskß tâmakßekß chiru.

²⁶And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

²⁶Lâin tinqßueheb chixcamsinquil ribeb chi ribileb rib li queßrahobtesin âcue. Chanchan nak teßcalâk xban li camsînc xeßxbânu. Ut chixjunileb li tenamit teßxnau nak lâin li Kâcuaß, li nacoloc âcue. Teßxnau nak lâin lix Dios laj Jacob ut cau cuib.—
