¹Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

¹Li Kâcuaß quixye cue: —Chap jun perêlak li tzßalam cheß nim ru ut chiru aßan tâtzßîba chi tzßakal re ru li âtin aßin: Maher-salal-hasbaz.

²And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

²Bok âcuiqßuin chokß châbil testigo laj Urías laj tij ut laj Zacarías li ralal laj Jeberequías nak tâtzßîba aßan, chan.

³And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

³Mokon chic xincuan riqßuin li cuixakil li profetisa ut aßan xcana chi yaj aj ixk. Nak quiyoßla li cualal, li Kâcuaß quixye cue “Maher-salal-hasbaz” tâqßue chokß xcßabaß.

⁴For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

⁴Toj mâjiß ajcuiß naxnau xyebal “at innaß at inyucuaß” li chßina al aßin nak lix biomaleb li tenamit Damasco ut Samaria tâchapekß ut tâcßamekß xban lix reyeb laj Asiria, chan.

⁵The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

⁵Ut quiâtinac cuißchic cuiqßuin li Kâcuaß ut quixye cue:

⁶Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

⁶—Eb li tenamit aßin queßxtzßektâna li nimaß Siloé, li tuktu ru ut queßxcßojob xchßôleb riqßuin laj Rezín ut riqßuin laj Peka li ralal laj Remalías.

⁷Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

⁷Joßcan nak lâin li Kâcuaß tintakla lix reyeb laj Asiria rochbeneb lix soldado chi numtâc saß xbêneb laj Jerusalén. Nak teßchâlk riqßuin lix cuanquileb laj Asiria chi pletic, chanchan nak nabutßun li nimaß Eufrates ut naxic yalak bar.

⁸And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

⁸Teßnumtâk saß xbêneb chixjunileb laj Judá. Chanchanakeb li butß li nacuulac toj saß xcuxeb lix chamal ut naxtzßap chixjunil lâ tenamit, at Emanuel, chan li Kâcuaß.

⁹Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

⁹Lâex tenamit, usta têchßutub êrib, yôk ajcuiß êxiu. Abihomak lâex li cuanquex chi najt. Usta têcauresi êrib, abanan tâchßinânk êchßôl ut tâsachekß êru.

¹⁰Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

¹⁰Usta têcßûb ru chi us li cßaßru têbânu, abanan incßaß us tex-êlk. Usta tex-âtinak chi nabal, abanan mâcßaßak aj e li cßaßru têye xban nak lâo cuan li Kâcuaß kiqßuin.

¹¹For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

¹¹Riqßuin xnimal xcuanquil li Kâcuaß quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue nak incßaß tinbânu li cßaßru yôqueb chixbânunquil eb li tenamit. Quixye cue:

¹²Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

¹²—Mâjunaji âcuib riqßuin li cßaßru nequeßxcßûb ru eb li tenamit, chi moco tâxucua li cßaßru nequeßxxucua eb aßan.

¹³Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

¹³Chaqßue retal nak santin lâin li nimajcual Dios. Tâxucua cuu lâin.

¹⁴And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁴Xban nak santin, lâin tincolok reheb li nequeßxqßue inlokßal. Chiruheb laj Judá ut eb laj Israel chanchanakin jun li pec li teßxtich cuiß li rokeb. Chanchanakin jun li pec li natßanoc. Chiruheb li cuanqueb Jerusalén, chanchanakin jun li cßam malaj ut jun li raßal re chapoc.

¹⁵And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

¹⁵Nabalakeb li teßxtich li rokeb. Teßtßanekß ut teßosokß. Ut nabalakeb li teßchapekß saß li raßal.—

¹⁶Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

¹⁶Abanan, ex intzolom, chexoc saß êchßôl li âtin aßin ut chebânuhak li chakßrab aßin li quixqßue cue li Kâcuaß.

¹⁷And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

¹⁷Usta quixmuk rib li Kâcuaß chiruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob, abanan lâin cau inchßôl ut cßojcßo inchßôl riqßuin.

¹⁸Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

¹⁸Lâin cuanquin arin cuochbeneb li cualal li quixqßue cue li Kâcuaß. Cotaklâc chak xban li nimajcual Dios li nacuan saß li tzûl Sión joß jun retalil chokß reheb laj Israel.

¹⁹And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

¹⁹Cui eb li tenamit teßxye êre nak têpatzß ênaßleb riqßuineb laj kße ut eb laj tûl li nequeßhasbac ut nequeßâtinac yal chi joßcan, lâex texchakßok ut têye: —¿Ma incßaß ta biß târûk tixpatzß xnaßleb junak tenamit riqßuin lix Dios? ¿Ma târûk ta biß teßxpatzß xnaßleb li yoßyôqueb riqßuineb li camenak?—

²⁰To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

²⁰Tzolomak li cßaßru naxye saß lix chakßrab li Dios. Cui incßaß nequeßxye êre chi tzßakal li cßaßru cuan saß li chakßrab, aßan xban nak toj mâjiß nequeßxtau lix yâlal.

²¹And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

²¹Eb li tenamit teßxbeni ribeb yalak bar chi ra saß xchßôleb ut teßtzßocâk. Xban nak teßtzßocâk tâchâlk xjoskßileb ut teßxmajecua lix reyeb ut teßxmajecua ajcuiß lix Dioseb. Teßilok takecß saß choxa,malaj ut takßa saß li chßochß. Abanan junes raylal chic teßril ut kßojyîn. Mâ ani tâcolok reheb chiru li rahil chßôlej. Aran teßosokß saß li kßojyîn.

²²And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

²²malaj ut takßa saß li chßochß. Abanan junes raylal chic teßril ut kßojyîn. Mâ ani tâcolok reheb chiru li rahil chßôlej. Aran teßosokß saß li kßojyîn.
