¹The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

¹Laj Sedequías lix reyeb laj Judá quixtakla laj Pasur li ralal laj Malquías riqßuin laj Jeremías. Ut quixtakla ajcuiß laj Sofonías laj tij ralal laj Maasías re teßxye re laj Jeremías chi joßcaßin:

²Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

²—Bânu usilal, tattijok chiru li Kâcuaß ut tâpatzß re cßaßru us takabânu xban nak laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia yô chi pletic kiqßuin. Mâre li Kâcuaß tixbânu junak milagro re nak laj Nabucodonosor tixcanab pletic kiqßuin, chanqueb.

³Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:

³Ut laj Jeremías quixye reheb li takl: —Joßcaßin tâye re laj Sedequías:

⁴Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

⁴Li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel xye chi joßcaßin, “Lâin tinqßueheb chi oc saß lê tenamit laj Babilonia li yôqueb chixsutbal lê tenamit. Li chßîchß li cuan saß êrukß re texpletik cuiß riqßuineb laj Babilonia mâcßaß tâoc cuiß chêru. Lâex incßaß texrûk chixsumenquileb.

⁵And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

⁵Lâin tinpletik êriqßuin riqßuin lin cuanquil ut riqßuin lin metzßêu xban nak xeqßue injoskßil. Cau tinpletik êriqßuin xban nak xnumta lin joskßil saß êbên.

⁶And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

⁶Lâin tinsach êru chêjunilex li cuanquex saß li tenamit aßin, joß cristian joß xul. Tintakla jun nimla yajel saß êbên ut telajexcâmk.

⁷And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

⁷Abanan lâat, at rey, ut eb li nequeßtenkßan âcue, texinkßaxtesi saß rukß laj Nabucodonosor. Joß qßuial chic li tenamit li incßaß teßcâmk xban li plêt malaj xban li caki yajel malaj xban li cueßej, tebinkßaxtesi ajcuiß saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc êre li teßraj êcamsinquil. Eb aßan incßaß teßril xtokßobâl êru, chi moco teßxcuy êmâc. Texcamsîk ban chi chßîchß.”

⁸And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

⁸Ut tâye ajcuiß reheb li tenamit nak lâin li Kâcuaß ninye chi joßcaßin: Lâin texincanab re têsicß li cßaßru têraj xbânunquil. ¿Ma têraj câmc malaj ut toj têraj cuânc chi yoßyo?

⁹He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

⁹Li ani târaj canâc saß li tenamit aßin, aßan tâcamsîk chi chßîchß malaj ut xban cueßej malaj ut xban li caki yajel. Abanan li ani tixkßaxtesi rib rubel xcuanquileb laj Babilonia li yôqueb chi sutuc re lê tenamit, aßan incßaß tâcamsîk. Tâcanâk chi yoßyo.

¹⁰For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

¹⁰Lâin incßaß chic tinbânu usilal re li tenamit aßin. Raylal ban tinqßue saß xbên. Ac xinye nak joßcan tinbânu reheb. Tinkßaxtesiheb saß rukß lix reyeb laj Babilonia ut eb aßan teßxcßat li tenamit, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹¹And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

¹¹Li Kâcuaß quixye cue nak tinye reheb li ralal xcßajol laj David chi joßcaßin:

¹²O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

¹²—Lâex li nequex-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá, abihomak li oc re chixyebal li Kâcuaß. Rajlal cutan textaklânk saß tîquilal. Checolak li ani yôqueb chi rahobtesîc xbaneb li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Cui incßaß têbânu li us tâchâlk injoskßil saß êbên. Chanchanak li xam li incßaß naru xchupbal xban li mâusilal xebânu.

¹³Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

¹³Lâin yô injoskßil saß êbên lâex li cuanquex saß li helho ru saß xbên li tzûl. Lâex nequecßoxla nak cau êrib joß jun sakônac. Lâin tinsach êru lâex li nequeye, “¿Ani ta biß tâsachok ku? ¿Ani ta biß târûk tâoc saß katenamit li ac cauresinbil re takacol cuiß kib?”Lâin texinqßue chixtojbal êmâc aß yal chanru lê yehom êbânuhom. Lâin tinsach êru. Chanchan nak tinloch xxamlel li qßuicheß ut tixsach chixjunil, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.

¹⁴But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

¹⁴Lâin texinqßue chixtojbal êmâc aß yal chanru lê yehom êbânuhom. Lâin tinsach êru. Chanchan nak tinloch xxamlel li qßuicheß ut tixsach chixjunil, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.
