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

¹Nak toj qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Sedequías li ralal laj Josías, li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Jeremías ut quixye re:

²Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,

²—Tâyîb jun li yugo riqßuin cheß ut tâyîb ajcuiß li cßâm ut tâbacß chirix âcux.

³And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;

³Tâtakla resil chirixeb li takl li queßchal Jerusalén chi âtinac riqßuin laj Sedequías lix reyeb laj Judá. Takla resil riqßuineb lix reyeb laj Edom, lix reyeb laj Moab, lix reyeb li ralal xcßajol laj Amón, joß ajcuiß lix reyeb laj Tiro ut lix reyeb laj Sidón.

⁴And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;

⁴Ut tâye reheb nak teßxye reheb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb nak lâin li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninye chi joßcaßin:

⁵I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.

⁵Riqßuin lix nimal lin cuanquil ut lin metzßêu lâin quinyîb li ruchichßochß ut eb li cristian joß eb ajcuiß li xul li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß. Ut lâin yâl cue cßaßru tinbânu riqßuin. Lâin ninqßue li cßaßak re ru re li ani nacuaj xqßuebal cuiß.

⁶And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

⁶Lâin xinqßuehoc re chixjunil li naßajej aßin rubel xcuanquil laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia, li tâcßanjelak chicuu. Ut tinqßueheb ajcuiß li xul li cuanqueb saß qßuicheß rubel xcuanquil.

⁷And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

⁷Chixjunileb li tenamit saß ruchichßochß teßcßanjelak chiru aßan. Ut teßcßanjelak chiru li ralal joß ajcuiß chiru li ri toj tâcuulak xkßehil nak tâchapekß lix tenamiteb aßan xbaneb li xnînkal ru tenamit ut eb lix rey. Ut eb aßan chic teßcanâk rubel xcuanquil eb li nînkeb xcuanquil.

⁸And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

⁸Cui cuan junak tenamit malaj ut junak rey incßaß teßxcubsi ribeb chi moco teßcßanjelak chiru li rey Nabucodonosor, lâin tinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb nak tintakla li plêt, li cueßej ut li caki yajel saß xbêneb toj retal teßxqßue ribeb rubel xcuanquil laj Nabucodonosor. Lâin li Kâcuaß ninyehoc re aßin.

⁹Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:

⁹Joßcan nak mêpâb li cßaßru nequeßxye li profetas, chi moco laj kße, chi moco li naxye xyâlal li matcß, chi moco têrabi li cßaßru nequeßxye li nequeßâtinac chirix li cßaßru tâcßulmânk. Incßaß tex-abînk chiruheb li nequeßyehoc êre nak incßaß têcubsi êrib rubel xcuanquil laj Nabucodonosor, lix reyeb laj Babilonia.

¹⁰For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.

¹⁰Eb aßan ticßtiß li nequeßxye êre. Moco yâl ta. Cui têpâb li cßaßru nequeßxye eb aßan, tex-isîk saß lê naßaj. Lâin tin-isînk êre ut tâsachekß êru.

¹¹But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

¹¹Abanan lâin tincanabeb chi cuânc saß xnaßajeb li tenamit li nequeßxcubsi ribeb ut nequeßcßanjelac chiru lix reyeb laj Babilonia. Tincanabeb chi cuânc saß xnaßajeb re nak teßxtrabaji lix chßochßeb. Lâin li Kâcuaß ninyehoc re aßin, chan li Dios.

¹²I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

¹²Lâin laj Jeremías quinye chixjunil aßin re laj Sedequías lix reyeb laj Judá. Quinye re: —Qßue âcuib rubel xcuanquil lix reyeb laj Babilonia ut tatcßanjelak chiruheb re nak tâcuânk lê yußam.

¹³Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

¹³¿Cßaßru aj e nak tâqßue âcuib chi camsîc ut tâqßueheb ajcuiß lâ tenamit chi câmc saß li plêt malaj ut xban cueßej malaj ut xban caki yajel? Li Kâcuaß quixye nak joßcan têcßul cui incßaß texcßanjelak chiru lix reyeb laj Babilonia.

¹⁴Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

¹⁴Mex-abin chiruheb li profetas li nequeßxye êre nak incßaß texcßanjelak chiru lix reyeb laj Babilonia xban nak eb aßan yôqueb chi ticßtißic.

¹⁵For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

¹⁵Li Kâcuaß quixye nak incßaß quixtaklaheb. Yôqueb chi ticßtißic nak nequeßâtinac saß xcßabaß li Dios. Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß tâisînk êre saß lê naßaj rochbeneb lê profeta ut tâsachekß êru, chanquin re.

¹⁶Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

¹⁶Ut lâin quinye reheb laj tij ut reheb li tenamit: —Aßan aßin li naxye li Kâcuaß: Mêpâb li cßaßru nequeßxye li profetas nak nequeßxye êre nak chi sêb teßcßamekß cuißchic chak li cßaßru cuan aran Babilonia li nacßanjelac saß lix templo li Dios. Eb aßan yôqueb chi ticßtißic chêru.

¹⁷Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?

¹⁷Mêpâb li cßaßru nequeßxye. Texcßanjelak chiru lix reyeb laj Babilonia re nak tâcuânk êyußam. ¿Cßaßru aj e nak tâsachekß ru li tenamit aßin?

¹⁸But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

¹⁸Cui relic chi yâl nak profeteb aßan, ut cui yâl nak li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuineb, xeßxtzßâma raj chiru li nimajcual Dios nak incßaß tâisîk saß li templo li cßaßak re ru, chi moco tâisîk saß li rochoch li rey. Tâcanâk ban saß xnaßajeb li cßaßak re ru li nacßanjelac.

¹⁹For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.

¹⁹Aßan aßin li quixye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios chirixeb li okech, li nimla pila ut eb li cßochlebâl ut li cßaßak chic re ru li cuan saß li tenamit aßin.

²⁰Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

²⁰Laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia incßaß quixcßam li cßaßak re ru aßan nak quixcßam aran Babilonia laj Jeconías li ralal laj Joacim lix reyeb laj Judá rochbeneb chixjunileb li nequeßtaklan aran Jerusalén ut Judá.

²¹Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

²¹Joßcaßin quixye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel, chirixeb li chßîchß li queßcanabâc saß lix templo li Kâcuaß ut saß li rochoch lix reyeb laj Judá aran Jerusalén.Chixjunil aßin tâcßamekß Babilonia ut aran tâcanâk toj saß li cutan nak lâin tinqßueheb cuißchic chi cßamecß saß xnaßajeb. Saß li cutan aßan lâin tinqßueheb cuißchic chi cuânc saß li naßajej aßin. Lâin li Kâcuaß ninyehoc re aßin.

²²They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

²²Chixjunil aßin tâcßamekß Babilonia ut aran tâcanâk toj saß li cutan nak lâin tinqßueheb cuißchic chi cßamecß saß xnaßajeb. Saß li cutan aßan lâin tinqßueheb cuißchic chi cuânc saß li naßajej aßin. Lâin li Kâcuaß ninyehoc re aßin.
