¹Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

¹Us raj cui tâte li choxa ut tatcubek chak cuanco cuiß. Us raj cui eb li tzûl teßecßânk saß xnaßajeb châcuu.

²As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

²Cuben chak ut cßut lâ cuanquil chiruheb li xicß nequeßiloc âcue. Ut eb li xnînkal ru tenamit sicsotkeb teßcanâk châcuu. Chanchan nak naloch li xam ut nacuokxin li haß xban xtikcual.

³When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

³Nak mâcßaß saß kachßôl lâat cabânu li sachba chßôlej. Catcubeß chak saß choxa ut eb li tzûl queßecßan saß xnaßajeb châcuu.

⁴For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

⁴Mâ jun sut qui-abîc chi moco qui-ileß junak chic Dios li natenkßan reheb li nequeßxcßojob xchßôl riqßuin. Caßaj cuiß lâat li tzßakal Dios.

⁵Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

⁵Lâat nacattenkßan reheb li nequeßxbânu li us chi anchaleb xchßôl ut junelic cuan saß xchßôleb li cßaßru nacacuaj lâat. Abanan xban nak junelic yôco chi mâcobc châcuu, joßcan nak xatjoskßoß kiqßuin. ¿Ma naru ta biß nak tocolekß xban li mâc xkabânu?

⁶But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

⁶Chikajunilo xomâcob châcuu. Li katîquilal, aßan chanchan jun li tßicr tzßaj ru. To-osokß joß nak nachakic li xak kßên. Aß ajcuiß li mâusilal li nakabânu tâsachok ke joß nak nacßameß li chaki xak kßên xban ikß.

⁷And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

⁷Mâ ani chic nayâban lâ cßabaß ut mâ ani chic naxsicß xtenkßanquil âcuiqßuin. Joßcan nak xoâcanab kajunes. Xoâcanab chi sachecß xban li kamâc.

⁸But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

⁸Anakcuan ut, at Kâcuaß, lâat li kayucuaß. Lâat aj êchal ke. Lâo chanchano li seb ut lâat laj pacßonel. Lâat catyîban ke riqßuin lâ cuukß. Lâat catyîban chak ke chikajunilo.

⁹Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

⁹At Kâcuaß, incßaß taxak chinumtâk lâ joskßil saß kabên. Incßaß taxak chi cuânk saß âchßôl junelic li kamâc. Chacuil taxak xtokßobâl ku xban nak lâo lâ tenamit.

¹⁰Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

¹⁰Lâ santil tenamit xsacheß ru. Sión mâcßaß chic cuan chi saß. Li tenamit Jerusalén chanchan chic chaki chßochß.

¹¹Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

¹¹Quicßateß li lokßlaj templo li cßajoß xchßinaßusal li cateßxlokßoni cuiß li kaxeßtônil yucuaß. Chixjunil li lokß chiku queßxpoßi li xicß nequeßiloc ke.At Kâcuaß, ¿ma mâcßaß tâbânu re katenkßanquil? ¿Ma incßaß tâcuil xtokßobâl ku? ¿Ma toj yôkat chikaqßuebal chi cßuluc raylal?

¹²Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

¹²At Kâcuaß, ¿ma mâcßaß tâbânu re katenkßanquil? ¿Ma incßaß tâcuil xtokßobâl ku? ¿Ma toj yôkat chikaqßuebal chi cßuluc raylal?
