¹Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

¹Aßan aßin li naxye li Kâcuaß: —Mâre lâex xecßoxla nak lâin xintzßektâna lin tenamit Israel joß nak naxtzßektâna rixakil junak li cuînk li naxjach rib. Cui joßcan xinbânu, ¿bar cuan li hu re jachoc ib? Malaj ut xecßoxla nak lâin xexincßayi xban xtojbal incßas. ¿Ma incßaß ta biß nequenau nak xban lê mâc nak xexcßameß chi najt? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß xban nak xekßetkßeti êrib nak xexcßameß chi najt?

²Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

²¿Cßaßut nak mâ ani xintau nak xincßulun? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß xinêsume nak xexinbok? ¿Ma xecßoxla nak lâin incßaß xru xexintenkßa? ¿Ma xecßoxla nak lâin mâcßaß incuanquil re êcolbal? ¿Ma incßaß nequenau nak yal riqßuin li cuâtin ninchakihobresi li palau ut ninsukßisi li nimaß chokß chaki chßochß? Ut eb li car nequeßcam ut nequeßkßa xban nak mâcßaß chic li haß.

³I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

³Lâin ninqßue chi kßojyînocß ru li choxa. Ut nacßutun nak ra saß xchßôl. Chanchan jun li naxqßue kßeki tßicr chirix xban xrahil xchßôl.—

⁴The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

⁴Li Kâcuaß Dios naqßuehoc innaßleb ut naxqßue cuâtin re nak tinnau xcßojobanquil xchßôleb li tacuajenakeb. Rajlal cutan nak nasakêu ninxqßue chirabinquil li râtin li naxcßut chicuu.

⁵The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

⁵Li Kâcuaß Dios quiqßuehoc innaßleb ut lâin incßaß quincacuubresi inchßôl, chi moco quinkßetkßeti cuib chiru.

⁶I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

⁶Quinkßaxtesi ban lix yi cuix chi saqßuecß. Ut quincanab cuib re teßxmichß lin mach. Ut incßaß quinmuk li xnakß cuu chiruheb nak quineßxhob ut nak quineßxchûba.

⁷For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

⁷Li Kâcuaß Dios aßan li natenkßan cue. Joßcan nak incßaß ra nacuecßa nak niquineßxhob. Lâin xakxôquin chi cau joß jun li sakônac. Lâin ninnau nak incßaß xutânal tinêlk mokon.

⁸He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

⁸Laj Colol cue cuan cuiqßuin. ¿Ani târûk tâyehok re nak cuan inmâc? Toxic riqßuin laj rakol âtin. ¿Ani târûk tâjitok cue? Chichâlk ut chixyehak cue.

⁹Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

⁹Li Kâcuaß Dios, aßan li natenkßan cue. ¿Ma cuan ta biß junak tâyehok re nak cuan inmâc? Chixjunileb li xicß nequeßiloc cue telajeßosokß joß nak na-osoß li tßicr li namaxen.

¹⁰Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

¹⁰Abihomak lâex li nequexucua ru li Dios ut nequebânu li cßaßru naxye laj cßanjel chiru. Cui cuanquex saß kßojyîn ut mâcßaß êsaken, checacuubresihak êchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß ut chex-oybenînk riqßuin lê Dios.Abanan chêjunilex lâex li nequecßûb chanru nak têcamsiheb lê ras êrîtzßin texsachekß xban li cßaßru nequecßûb ru xbânunquil.

¹¹Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

¹¹Abanan chêjunilex lâex li nequecßûb chanru nak têcamsiheb lê ras êrîtzßin texsachekß xban li cßaßru nequecßûb ru xbânunquil. Li Kâcuaß tâbânûnk re nak texsachekß ut xban li raylal têcßul tex-osokß.
