¹Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

¹Laj Jeremías quixye: —At Kâcuaß, lâat junelic tîc âchßôl ut incßaß raj nacuaj xcuechßbal rix li cßaßru nacabânu. Abanan nacuaj xpatzßbal âcue cßaßut nak nacßulman chi joßcaßin. ¿Cßaßut nak us nequeßel li nequeßxbânu li mâusilal? ¿Cßaßut nak junelic sa cuanqueb li incßaß useb xnaßleb?

²Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

²Lâat xatsicßoc ruheb ut xacuosobtesiheb. Sa cuanqueb. Chanchaneb li cheß qui-aueß ut quixchap xxeß. Quiniman ut quixqßue ru. Abanan eb li tenamit aßin nequeßxqßue âlokßal yal riqßuin xtzßûmal reheb. Moco anchaleb ta xchßôl nak nequeßxbânu.

³But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

³At Kâcuaß, lâat nacanau cuu. Nacanau chanru lin naßleb ut chanru lin cßaßux châcuu. Chacßameb li tenamit aßan joß nak nequeßcßameß li carner chi camsîc. Teneb câmc saß xbêneb.

⁴How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

⁴¿Joß najtil chic tâcuânk li kachßochß chi mâcßaß cuan chi saß? ¿Joß najtil chic tâcanâk li pachßayaß chi chaki? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß xban lix mâusilaleb li tenamit nak queßsacheß ru li xul li nequeßrupupic joß eb ajcuiß li quetômk? Eb aßan yôqueb chixyebal: —Li Dios incßaß târil chanru nak to-osokß, chanqueb.

⁵If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

⁵Ut li Kâcuaß quixye: —At Jeremías, cui xatlub chixyalbal âkße chi âlinac riqßuineb li cuînk, ¿chanru nak tâcuy âlinac riqßuineb li cacuây? Cui xatichß âcouk saß li tîc ru, ¿chanru nak tatbêk saß li qßuicheß li cuan chire li nimaß Jordán? Cui xattitzß xban li raylal li yôcat chixcßulbal, ¿chanru nak tâcuy li nimla raylal li tâchâlk saß âbên?

⁶For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

⁶Eb lâ cuas ut eb lâ cuîtzßin yôqueb chabalakßinquil. Lâ cuechßalal xeßxjunaji ribeb riqßuineb li yôqueb chixcßûbanquil ru chanru nak teßxbânu raylal âcue. Mâcßojob âchßôl riqßuineb, usta châbil nequeßâtinac âcuiqßuin.

⁷I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

⁷Lâin xintzßektânaheb laj Israel. Xincanabeb xjunes li quinsicß ruheb junxil. Xinkßaxtesiheb li tenamit li ninra saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb.

⁸Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.

⁸Eb li sicßbileb ru inban nequeßxcuechßi cuix. Chanchaneb li cakcoj nak yô chixjapbal re saß qßuicheß. Joßcan nak xicß chic nacuileb.

⁹Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

⁹Li tenamit li sicßbil ru inban chanchaneb li xul li chßinaßus saß rix, li nequeßrupupic, li quisuteß xbaneb li cßuch li teßajok xcamsinquil. Bokomakeb chixjunileb li joskß aj xul li cuanqueb saß qßuicheß re teßchâlk chixtiubal lix tibeb.

¹⁰Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

¹⁰Nabaleb li jalan tenamit li cuanqueb xcuanquil xeßxsach ru lix naßaj li cuacuîmk. Xeßxyekßi saß rokeb li cuacuîmk. Ut xeßxsukßisi lin châbil naßaj joß chaki chßochß xban nak mâcßaß chic cuan aran.

¹¹They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

¹¹Mâcßaß chic na-oc cuiß queßxcanab li naßajej. Mâcßaß chic cuan chi saß. Chanchan li chaki chßochß quicana ut mâ ani na-oc xcßaßux chirilbal.

¹²The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

¹²Saß eb li tzûl quilajeßchal li queßsachoc ru lin naßaj. Lâin quintaklaheb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb chi pletic riqßuineb ut chixsachbal ru chixjunil li naßajej. Mâ ani chic tâcuânk chi tuktu xchßôl.

¹³They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

¹³Eb lin tenamit teßrau li trigo, abanan saß lix chßochß tâêlk li qßuix. Teßxtacuasi ribeb chi cßanjelac, abanan mâcßaßak rajbal lix cßanjeleb. Incßaß tinqßue chi êlc li racuîmkeb xban nak lâin yô injoskßil saß xbêneb, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁴Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

¹⁴Aßan aßin li naxye li Kâcuaß chirixeb li jalaneb xtenamit li incßaß useb xnaßleb li cuanqueb chi nachß riqßuineb laj Israel. Aßaneb li queßpoßoc ru lix tenamiteb laj Israel. —Eb li tenamit aßan teßcuisi saß lix naßajeb ut tincuisiheb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol laj Judá saß xyânkeb.

¹⁵And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

¹⁵Abanan nak ac xcuisiheb saß lin naßaj, lâin tincuil cuißchic xtokßobâl ruheb. Tintaklaheb cuißchic chi cuânc chi xjunjûnkaleb saß lix tenamiteb.

¹⁶And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

¹⁶Yâl nak eb aßan queßcßamoc be chiruheb lin tenamit chixlokßoninquil li yîbanbil dios Baal. Abanan naru teßcuânk saß xyânkeb lin tenamit cui teßxqßue inlokßal joß nequeßxbânu lin tenamit ut cui teßxbânu li juramento saß incßabaß lâin li yoßyôquil Dios.Abanan cui incßaß teßabînk chicuu lâin tincuisiheb chi junaj cua saß lix naßajeb ut tinsach ruheb, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹⁷But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Abanan cui incßaß teßabînk chicuu lâin tincuisiheb chi junaj cua saß lix naßajeb ut tinsach ruheb, chan li Kâcuaß.
