¹The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

¹Nak nequeßcam li tîqueb xchßôl, mâ ani naxcßoxla cßaßut nak nequeßcam. Nak nequeßcam li châbileb xnaßleb, mâ ani naqßuehoc retal nak yal xeßisîc saß li raylal li châlc re.

²He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

²Eb li nequeßxbânu li tîquilal nequeßxic chi hilânc saß tuktûquil usilal nak nequeßcam.

³But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

³Quimkex lâex li nequebânu li mâusilal, lâex li chanchanex li ralal xcßajol laj tûl. Chanchanex li ralal xcßajol li nequeßxmux xsumlajic malaj ut eb li ixk li nequeßxcßayi ribeb.

⁴Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

⁴¿Ani li nequehob nak nequecßoxla? Ut, ¿ani li nequeseße? ¿Ani chi aj u nequebitzß lê re? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lâex li ralal xcßajol li nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb ut nequeßticßtißic?

⁵Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

⁵¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lâex li nequebânu li moco uxc ta naraj rubeleb li nînki cheß re xlokßoninquil lê yîbanbil dios? ¿Ma incßaß ta biß nequemayeja lê cocßal saß eb li ochoch pec ut saß eb li ru takßa?

⁶Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

⁶Nequexoc li pec li tîc ru ut nequelokßoniheb. Nequemayeja li vino chiruheb ut nequemayeja lê trigo chiru. ¿Ma incßaß ta biß texinqßue chixtojbal lê mâc riqßuin aßin?

⁷Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

⁷Nequexxic saß eb li tzûl li najt xteram chixbânunquil li mâusilal. Ut aran ajcuiß nequexxic chi mayejac.

⁸Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

⁸Nequeqßue retalil lê yîbanbil dios chixcßatk li oquebâl re lê rochoch re nak julticak êre. ¿Cßaßut nak eb aßan chic nequelokßoniheb ut incßaß niquinêlokßoni lâin? Lâex nequekßaxtesi êrib riqßuineb. Ut quebânu li contrato riqßuineb. Eb aßan li kßaxal nequeraheb chicuu lâin.

⁹And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.

⁹Quexcôex chi najt riqßuin li rey ut quecßam lê sununquil ban nak quexcôex. Quetaklaheb lê takl yalak bar. Chanchan nak quexcôex saß xnaßajeb li camenak chixsicßbal lê naßleb.

¹⁰Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.

¹⁰Nequetacuasi êrib riqßuin li cßaßru nequebânu. Abanan incßaß nequeqßue retal nak mâcßaß rajbal li nequebânu. Lâex nequecßoxla nak quetau êtenkßanquil. Joßcan nak cau chic êrib.

¹¹And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

¹¹Li Kâcuaß quixye êre: —¿Cßaßut nak nequexxucuac xbaneb li yîbanbil dios ut nequelokßoniheb? ¿Cßaßut nak xecanab inlokßoninquil xbaneb ut ninsach saß êchßôl? Usta incßaß xinêlokßoni, aban chalen chak junxil yôquin chixcuybal. Joßcan nak incßaß niquinêxucua.

¹²I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

¹²Lâex nequecßoxla nak us li nequebânu. Lâin tincßutbesi chanru lê naßleb. Riqßuin aßan tâcßutûnk nak mâcßaß na-oc cuiß li cßaßru yôquex chixbânunquil.

¹³When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

¹³Nak têjap êre chixtzßâmanquil êtenkßanquil, eb lê yîbanbil dios incßaß textenkßa. Texcßamekß xban ikß usta moco cau ta tâecßânk. Abanan eb li nequeßxcßojob xchßôl cuiqßuin teßrêchani li naßajej ut teßrêchani ajcuiß lin santil tzûl.

¹⁴And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

¹⁴Ut tâabimânk nak li Kâcuaß tixye: —Chisukßîk cuiqßuin lin tenamit. Yîbomak li be ut tîcobresihomak ru. Ut isihomak chixjunil li cßaßru naramoc re lix beheb lin tenamit.—

¹⁵For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

¹⁵Quixye ajcuiß li santil Dios li nim xcuanquil ut yoßyo chi junelic: —Lâin nincuan saß jun li Santil Naßajej li cuan takecß. Ut nincuan ajcuiß riqßuineb li tûlaneb ut eb li nequeßxcubsi ribeb. Lâin ninqßue xcacuilal xchßôleb li nequeßxcubsi ribeb ut ninqßue ajcuiß xcacuilal xchßôleb li nequeßyotßeß xchßôl.

¹⁶For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

¹⁶Moco junelic ta yôkin chixcßutbal chiruheb lin tenamit lix mâqueb, ut moco junelic ta yôkin chi joskßocß riqßuineb. Cui junelic yôkin chixyebal reheb, tâchßinânk xchßôleb li cristian li quinyoßobtesiheb ut incßaß raj teßxcuy rabinquil.

¹⁷For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

¹⁷Xban li mâusilal li nequeßxbânu ut xban nak chixjunil nequeßxrahi ru, lâin xinjoskßoß riqßuineb. Lâin xinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb ut xincanabeb xjuneseb. Abanan xeßxcacuubresi xchßôleb ut junelic xeßxbânu li incßaß us.

¹⁸I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

¹⁸Usta ac ninnau chanru lix naßlebeb, abanan lâin tinqßuirtesiheb. Lâin tinberesiheb ut tincßojob xchßôleb.

¹⁹I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

¹⁹Eb laj Israel li queßyâbac xban li raylal tineßxlokßoni cuißchic. Tuktûquil usilal tâcuânk riqßuineb chixjunileb, joß li nachß cuanqueb, ut joß li najt cuanqueb. Lâin tinqßuirtesînk reheb, chan li Kâcuaß.

²⁰But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

²⁰Abanan eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb incßaß teßcuânk chi tuktu xchßôleb. Chanchanakeb li palau li yô chi ecßânc ru. Nasasoß ru ut incßaß natukla ru.Eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb mâ jokße teßcuânk saß tuktûquil usilal, chan lin Dios.

²¹There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

²¹Eb li incßaß useb xnaßleb mâ jokße teßcuânk saß tuktûquil usilal, chan lin Dios.
