¹Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

¹Tinbicha jun li bich saß xcßabaß li kßaxal raro inban. Tinbichânk chirix li racuîmk. Aßan aßin li bich: Li kßaxal raro inban cuan jun lix chßochß kßaxal châbil saß jun li chßina tzûl.

²And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

²Quixyîb lix corral. Quixbec ru li chßochß ut quilajrisi li pec chi saß. Quixsicß li châbil uvas ut quirau saß li chßochß. Ut saß xyi li acuîmk quixyîb jun li chßina cab najt xteram re xcßacßalenquil. Ut quixyîb jun li yatzßleb ut quiroybeni tâûchînk li acuîmk. Aban nak quiûchin, mâcuaß chic li châbil uva quirûchin. Aß ban chic li rare qui-el.

³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

³Ut li raro inban quixye: —Lâex aj Jerusalén ut lâex aj Judá, tzßilomak rix anakcuan ani cuan xmâc. ¿Ma lâin malaj ut li cuacuîmk?

⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

⁴¿Cßaß chic ru incßaß xinbânu re li cuacuîmk nak nequeye lâex? Nak quicuoybeni nak tixqßue li châbil uvas, aß chic li mâcuaß châbil li qui-el.

⁵And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

⁵Anakcuan chinêrabi. Tinye êre cßaßru tinbânu riqßuin li cuacuîmk. Tincuisi li corral li xinyîb re nak tâosokß. Tintßan li tzßac re nak tâyekßîk ut tâsachekß.

⁶And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

⁶Tintzßektâna li chßochß aßan. Tincanab chi pimocß ut tincanab chi tâmc li qßuix saß xyânk. Incßaß chic tinsabesi ru, chi moco kßunobresinbilak chic ru. Ut incßaß chic tintakla li chok re tixqßue li hab saß xbên, chan li raro inban.

⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

⁷Li xyâlal li bich, aßan aßin: Li racuîmk li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, aßan li tenamit Israel. Li racuîmk, aßan li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Aßaneb li sicßbileb ru xban li Kâcuaß. Aßan quiroybeni nak teßcuânk saß tîquilal. Abanan, aß chic li xcamsinquileb ribeb queßxbânu. Ut quiroybeni nak châbilakeb. Aß ban chic lix yâb xcßuxeb li nequeßxrahobtesi quirabi.

⁸Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

⁸Raylal châlel saß êbên lâex li junes xsicßbal xtzßakob lê rochoch nequebânu. Raylal châlel saß êbên xban nak junes xsicßbal xtzßakob lê chßochß nequebânu toj retal nequechap chixjunil chokß êre. ¿Ma caßaj cuiß ta biß lâex texcuânk saß ruchichßochß?

⁹In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

⁹Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios quixye cue nak relic chi yâl eb li xnînkal ru cab li xeyîb teßcanâk chi mâcßaß chic cuan chi saß.

¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

¹⁰Têrau lajêb cßam lê uvas, ut jun chßina barril ajcuiß lix yaßal tâêlk. Ut têrau lajêb coxtal li iyaj trigo, abanan jun coxtal ajcuiß li ru tixqßue.

¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

¹¹Raylal châlel saß êbên lâex li nequexcuacli toj ekßela ut nequexxic chi calâc toj retal nequex-oc kßojyîn chi calâc.

¹²And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹²Ut saß li ninkße li nequebânu yô lê son. Nak nequeqßue lê son nequechßeß li arpa, li salterio, li tambor, ut li xôlb. Ut nequerucß li vino. Abanan incßaß nequecßoxla li Dios chi moco nequeqßue retal li cßaßru naxbânu.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

¹³Joßcan nak eb li tenamit teßchapekß ut teßcßamekß saß jalan tenamit xban nak incßaß nequeßxtau xyâlal. Eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil teßcâmk xban xtzßocajiqueb ut eb li jun chßol chic teßcâmk xban chaki el.

¹⁴Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

¹⁴Lix naßajeb li camenak ac cauresinbil ut yô chiroybeninquil li ani tâcâmk. Chanchan teto li re nak yô chiroybeninquil chixjunileb li teßcâmk. Ut eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil joß eb ajcuiß li mâcßaßeb xcuanquil telajeßxic saß li naßajej aßan.

¹⁵And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

¹⁵Eb li cristian teßcubsîk xcuanquileb. Ut teßcubsîk ajcuiß xcuanquileb li nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb.

¹⁶But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁶Caßaj chic li nimajcual Dios tâqßuehekß xlokßal xban nak narakoc âtin saß tîquilal. Li Kâcuaß Dios tixcßutbesi lix santilal xban lix tîquilal xchßôl.

¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

¹⁷Eb li carner teßcuaßak saß li tenamit jucßbil. Ut eb li jalaneb xtenamit teßcuânk saß lix naßajeb li biom li ac juqßuinbil.

¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

¹⁸Raylal tâchâlk saß êbên lâex li nequexcßamoc chak mâusilal riqßuin ticßtiß. Chanchan li bacßbo chêrix; joß ajcuiß lâex li nequexcßamoc chak re li mâc li chanchan li yôquex chixquelonquil chêrix.

¹⁹That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

¹⁹Lâex li nequexyehoc re: —Chibânuhâk chi junpât li cßaßru naraj li Dios re takil. Kilak nak lix Santil Dioseb laj Israel tixbânu chi junpât li cßaßru naxye nak tixbânu.—

²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²⁰Raylal tâchâlk saß êbên lâex li nequexyehoc us re li incßaß us, ut li us, incßaß us nequeye re. Li cutan nequeqßue chokß kßojyîn, ut li kßojyîn nequeqßue chokß cutan. Li quiß nequeye cßa re, ut li cßa, aßan quiß nequeye re.

²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

²¹Raylal tâchâlk saß êbên lâex li nequeye nak cuan ênaßleb êjunes êrib ut lâex li sêb êchßôl nak nequecßoxla êrib.

²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

²²Raylal tâchâlk saß êbên lâex li nequexnumta chi calâc ut lâex li cuan ênaßleb re xyîbanquil li haß li nacaltesin.

²³Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

²³Nequecol rix li cuanqueb xmâc xban nak nequeßxtumina êru, ut aß chic li tîqueb xchßôl nequeye nak cuanqueb xmâc.

²⁴Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁴Xban lê mâusilal, lâex tex-osokß joß na-osoß li qßuim ut li chaki pim nak nacßat xban xam. Joß nak nakßa lix xeß li acuîmk ut li rutzßußujil nachakic ut nasukßi poks, joßcan ajcuiß nak tex-osokß lâex xban nak nequetzßektâna lix chakßrab li nimajcual Dios. Nequetzßektâna li râtin li Dios santo, lix Dioseb laj Israel.

²⁵Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

²⁵Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß Dios xjoskßoß saß êbên lâex lix tenamit ut xqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb. Eb li tzûl xeßecßan saß xnaßajeb ut eb li camenak nequeßtßanaxin saß eb li be. Abanan li Kâcuaß toj mâjiß na-el xjoskßil. Toj yô xjoskßil saß xbêneb.

²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

²⁶Li Kâcuaß Dios chanchan nak tixtaksi lix bandera re xbokbaleb li jalan tenamit li cuanqueb chi najt. Chanchan nak xuxbanbil tixbânu reheb nak tixbokeb li tenamit li kßaxal najt cuanqueb chak. Ut eb li tenamit aßan saß junpât teßchâlk.

²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

²⁷Mâ jun reheb lix soldado li tenamit aßan lublûkeb. Ut mâ jun reheb teßxtich rokeb, chi moco teßchâlk xcuara. Ut mâ jun reheb tâhitekß lix cßâmal xsaßeb, chi moco tâtßupekß xcßâmal lix xâbeb.

²⁸Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

²⁸Lix tzimajeb kßesak rußuj ut cauresinbilakeb. Ut li rixißijeb lix cacuây cauhakeb joß li pec. Ut lix ruedil lix carruajes nak nequeßsuri rib chanchan li ikß li naxsuti rib.

²⁹Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

²⁹Nak teßxjap reheb li soldado chanchan nak nequeßxjap re li cakcoj malaj ut li ral li cakcoj nak oc re chixchapbal lix tib ut mâ ani tâmakßok chiru.Japjôk reheb li soldado nak teßoc chi pletic. Chanchan nak na-ecßan ru li palau. Li ani tâilok re li tenamit aßan tixqßue retal nak junes raylal ut rahil chßôlej cuan aran. Chanchan nak tâkßojyînokß ru li cutan xban li chok.

³⁰And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

³⁰Japjôk reheb li soldado nak teßoc chi pletic. Chanchan nak na-ecßan ru li palau. Li ani tâilok re li tenamit aßan tixqßue retal nak junes raylal ut rahil chßôlej cuan aran. Chanchan nak tâkßojyînokß ru li cutan xban li chok.
