¹In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,

¹Saß li xbên chihab nak cuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Joacim li ralal laj Josías, li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Jeremías.

²Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

²Quixye re: —Xaklin saß li nebâl chiru li oquebâl re lin templo ut âtinan riqßuineb chixjunileb li nequeßchal chi lokßonînc. Ye reheb chixjunil li âtin li xinye âcue. Mâ jun li âtin li xinye incßaß ta tâye reheb.

³If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

³Mâre teßabînk châcuu ut teßxcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal. Cui teßxcanab xbânunquil, lâin incßaß tinqßue li raylal saß xbêneb li yôquin chixcßoxlanquil.

⁴And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

⁴Tâye reheb: Aßan aßin li naxye li Kâcuaß. Cui incßaß tex-abînk chicuu ut cui incßaß têbânu li cßaßru naxye lin chakßrab li quinqßue êre, lâin texinqßue chixtojbal lê mâc.

⁵To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

⁵Cui incßaß têrabi li cßaßru nequeßxye li profetas li nequeßcßanjelac chicuu, li quintakla êriqßuin rajlal ut incßaß nequex-abin chiruheb,

⁶Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

⁶lâin tinbânu re li templo aßin joß quinbânu re li tenamit Silo. Ut chixjunileb li xnînkal ru tenamit li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß teßxmajecua li tenamit aßin, chan.

⁷So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

⁷Eb laj tij, eb li profeta ut chixjunileb li tenamit queßrabi nak laj Jeremías quixye li âtin aßin saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.

⁸Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

⁸Nak laj Jeremías quirakeß chixyebal li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Kâcuaß, eb laj tij ut eb li profeta rochbeneb chixjunileb li tenamit queßxchap laj Jeremías ut queßxye re: —Tento tatcâmk.

⁹Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

⁹¿Cßaßut nak nacaye saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß nak li cab aßin tâcanâk joß Silo? Ut, ¿cßaßut nak nacaye nak li tenamit aßin tâcanâk chi mâcßaß chic cuan chi saß? chanqueb. Ut chixjunileb li tenamit queßjoskßoß saß xbên laj Jeremías saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.

¹⁰When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house.

¹⁰Nak eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil saß xyânkeb laj Judá queßrabi li cßaßru quicßulman, queßel saß li palacio ut queßcôeb saß junpât saß li templo ut queßchunla saß xnaßajeb chiru li acß oquebâl re lix templo li Kâcuaß.

¹¹Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

¹¹Ut eb laj tij ut eb li profetas queßâtinac riqßuineb li tenamit joß eb ajcuiß li cuanqueb xcuanquil ut queßxye reheb: —Xcßulub câmc li cuînk aßin xban nak xye nak li katenamit tixcßul raylal. Lâex xerabi riqßuin êxic li cßaßru quixye, chanqueb.

¹²Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

¹²Quiâtinac laj Jeremías riqßuineb chixjunileb li cuanqueb xcuanquil ut riqßuineb ajcuiß li tenamit ut quixye: —Aß li Kâcuaß xtaklan chak cue chixyebal resil li raylal li tâchâlk saß xbên li templo aßin joß ajcuiß saß xbêneb li tenamit aßin. Lâex xerabi li cßaßru xinye.

¹³Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

¹³Mêbânu chic li mâusilal. Tîcobresihomak ban lê yußam. Bânuhomak li cßaßru naxye li Dios re nak incßaß tixtakla saß êbên li raylal li quixye chak resil.

¹⁴As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.

¹⁴Aßut lâin cuanquin saß êrukß anakcuan. Bânuhomak cuiqßuin li cßaßru nequecßoxla nak us xbânunquil cue.

¹⁵But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.

¹⁵Aban chenauhak chi tzßakal cui tinêcamsi têbok chak nabal li raylal saß êbên ut saß xbên li tenamit aßin ut saß xbêneb li cuanqueb arin xban nak lâin mâcßaß inmâc. Relic chi yâl nak li âtin li xinye êre li Kâcuaß quitaklan chak cue chixyebal, chan laj Jeremías.

¹⁶Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.

¹⁶Tojoßnak eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil ut eb li tenamit queßxye reheb laj tij ut reheb li profeta: —Incßaß naru takateneb câmc saß xbên li cuînk aßin. Saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß li kaDios x-âtinac kiqßuin, chanqueb.

¹⁷Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,

¹⁷Cuanqueb saß xyânkeb li tenamit laj cßamol be li queßâtinac riqßuineb li chßutchßûqueb aran.

¹⁸Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

¹⁸Queßxye reheb: —Nak laj Ezequías cuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá, laj Miqueas re Moreset quiâtinac riqßuineb laj Judá ut quixye reheb chi joßcaßin: Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios quixye nak li tenamit Sión tâsachekß ru. Li tenamit Jerusalén tâcanâk joß jun li chßochß becbil riqßuin li chßîchß arado. Ut li tzûl li cuan cuiß li templo tâsukßisîk chokß qßuicheß, chan laj Miqueas.

¹⁹Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

¹⁹¿Ma quicamsîc ta biß laj Miqueas xban li rey? ¿Ma quicamsîc ta biß xbaneb laj Judá? Quixxucua ban ru li Kâcuaß laj Ezequías ut quixtzßâma chiru li Dios nak târuxtâna ruheb li tenamit. Ut li Kâcuaß quixjal xcßaßux ut incßaß quixtakla li raylal saß xbêneb. ¿Ma takabok ta biß raylal saß kabên lâo riqßuin xcamsinquil li cuînk aßin? chanqueb.

²⁰And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

²⁰Quicuan chic jun profeta li quiâtinac saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß. Aßan laj Urías li ralal laj Semaías. Quiriat-jearim xtenamit. Laj Urías quixye ajcuiß resil li raylal li tixcßul li tenamit aßin ut li naßajej aßin. Quixye li âtin li quixye laj Jeremías.

²¹And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

²¹Li rey Joacim quirabi li cßaßru quixye laj Urías. Queßrabi ajcuiß eb li nequeßtenkßan re ut eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil. Ut li rey quixcßûb ru nak tixcamsi laj Urías. Abanan laj Urías quixucuac ut quiêlelic. Cô toj Egipto.

²²And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.

²²Li rey Joacim quixtakla Egipto laj Elnatán li ralal laj Acbor. Cuanqueb chic cuib oxib li cuînk li queßtaklâc rochben laj Elnatán.

²³And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

²³Eb aßan queßxchap laj Urías ut queßxcßam cuißchic Judá ut queßxkßaxtesi re li rey Joacim. Li rey Joacim quixtakla xcamsinquil riqßuin chßîchß ut queßxcut lix tzßejcual saß li muklebâl li nequeßcuteß cuiß li mâcßaßeb xcuanquil.Laj Ahicam li ralal laj Safán qui-oquen chirix laj Jeremías. Joßcan nak incßaß quikßaxtesîc saß rukßeb li tenamit re teßxcamsi.

²⁴Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

²⁴Laj Ahicam li ralal laj Safán qui-oquen chirix laj Jeremías. Joßcan nak incßaß quikßaxtesîc saß rukßeb li tenamit re teßxcamsi.
