1The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
1Saß li xcâ chihab nak laj Joacim li ralal laj Josías cuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá, laj Baruc li ralal laj Nerías quixtzßîba saß li botbil hu li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li profeta Jeremías. Laj Jeremías quiâtinac cuißchic riqßuin laj Baruc ut quixye re:
2Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:
2—At Baruc, joßcaßin yô chixyebal âcue li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel:
3Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
3Lâat xaye, “Tokßob xak cuu. Li Kâcuaß xqßue xtzßakob li raylal li cuanquin cuiß. Tacuajenakin ut incßaß naru ninhilan riqßuin li raylal cuanquin cuiß,” chancat.
4Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
4Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Ye re chi joßcaßin: Lâin tinjucß li cßaßru quinxakab ut tincuisiheb li cristian li quinqßueheb chi cuânc saß chixjunil li naßajej aßin.Mâcßaß aj e nak tâsicß âcuanquil. Mâbânu aßan xban nak lâin tintakla li raylal saß xbêneb chixjunileb li cristian. Ut lâat, yalak bar tatxic lâin tatincol. Incßaß tatcamsîk, chan li Dios.
5And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
5Mâcßaß aj e nak tâsicß âcuanquil. Mâbânu aßan xban nak lâin tintakla li raylal saß xbêneb chixjunileb li cristian. Ut lâat, yalak bar tatxic lâin tatincol. Incßaß tatcamsîk, chan li Dios.
