¹The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;

¹Aßan aßin li quixye li Kâcuaß re laj Jeremías chirix li cßaßru teßxcßul eb li xnînkal tenamit.

²Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.

²Joßcaßin quixye li Kâcuaß chirix li tenamit Egipto ut chirixeb lix soldado laj faraón Necao lix reyeb laj Egipto. Laj Nabucodonosor, lix reyeb laj Babilonia, quinumta saß xbên aran Carquemis chire li nimaß Eufrates saß li xcâ chihab nak laj Joacim li ralal laj Josías cuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá.

³Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.

³Cauresihomak li chßîchß re xcolbal re lê chßôl, ut texxic chi pletic.

⁴Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.

⁴Cauresihomak lê cacuây ut takenkex chirixeb. Chapomak lê naßaj ut cuânk lê punit chßîchß saß êjolom. Cauresihomak lê lâns ut qßuehomak chêrix lê rakß chßîchß re pletic.

⁵Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD.

⁵¿Cßaßru yôqueb chixcßulbal? Eb lix soldados laj Egipto yôqueb chi xucuac ut yôqueb chi sukßîc chirixeb. Eb lix soldados laj Babilonia yôqueb chi numtâc saß xbêneb. Yôqueb chi êlelic saß junpât chi incßaß nequeßiloc chirixeb. Ut yalak bar xucuajel rilbal li yôqueb chixcßulbal, chan li Kâcuaß.

⁶Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.

⁶Eb li nequeßâlinac chi cau incßaß naru teßêlelik, chi moco li cauheb rib. Saß li norte chire li nimaß Eufrates xeßxtichß li rokeb ut xeßtßaneß.

⁷Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?

⁷¿Aniheb aßan li nequeßxye nak nînkeb xcuanquil joß nak naniman li nimaß Nilo nak nabutßin?

⁸Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

⁸Aßaneb laj Egipto li yôqueb chi nimânc xcuanquil joß li nimaß Nilo nak nabutßin. Eb aßan nequeßxye: —Tânimânk kacuanquil. Tonumtâk saß xbêneb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß ut takasach xcuanquileb.

⁹Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.

⁹Taklahomakeb li cacuây chi xic. Lâex li nequeßchßeßoc re li carruajes, texxic chi junpât. Ayukex, ex soldados lâex aj etiopia ut lâex li cuanquex saß li tenamit Put, li nequecßam lê chßîchß re xcolbal re lê chßôl, ut lâex li cuanquex saß li tenamit Lud li nequenau chi us cutuc riqßuin li tzimaj.

¹⁰For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

¹⁰Abanan li cutan aßan, aßan li cutan nak li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios tixqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb li xicß nequeßiloc re. Teßcamsîk riqßuin chßîchß toj retal tâcßojlâk xchßôl.

¹¹Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

¹¹Lâex aj Egipto, usta texxic toj Galaad chixsicßbal lê ban, li ban mâcßaß chic tâoc cuiß. Lâex incßaß chic tex-usâk.

¹²The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.

¹²Eb li xnînkal ru tenamit xerabi resil nak xcuteß êxutân. Chixjunileb xeßrabi nak yôquex chi yâbac xban li raylal li cuanquex cuiß. Eb li soldado li cauheb rib teßxtich li rokeb chi ribileb rib ut teßtßanekß, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹³The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.

¹³Aßan aßin li quixye li Kâcuaß re li profeta Jeremías chirix laj Nabucodonosor nak cô Egipto chixsachbal ru li tenamit.

¹⁴Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.

¹⁴Yehomak resil saß eb li tenamit Egipto. Yehomak resil aran Migdol, Menfis, ut Tafnes. Yehomak reheb: Xaklinkex chi cau saß lê naßaj ut cauresihomak êrib chi pletic xban nak yôqueb chi osocß saß li plêt li cuanqueb chêjun sutam.

¹⁵Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.

¹⁵¿Cßaßut nak xtßaneß lê dios li cau cuiß êchßôl? Xtßaneß xban nak li Kâcuaß quixtßan.

¹⁶He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

¹⁶Talajeßxtich li rokeb li soldado ut teßtßanekß. Ut teßxye: Xaklîko. Toxic cuißchic riqßuineb li kech tenamitil. Toxic cuißchic saß li naßajej mâcßaßeb cuiß li nequeßcamsin ke riqßuin chßîchß.

¹⁷They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

¹⁷Nak cuânkeb chic aran teßxye: —Laj faraón, lix reyeb laj Egipto, junes âtinac naxbânu. Ac xnumeß xkßehil nak tânumtâk saß xbêneb li xicß nequeßiloc re.

¹⁸As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

¹⁸Lâin li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios. Lâin li tzßakal rey. Lâin li yoßyôquil Dios. Li jun li tâchâlk chi pletic êriqßuin chanchan li tzûl Tabor li najt xteram saß xyânkeb li tzûl. Chanchan li tzûl Carmel li cuan chire li palau.

¹⁹O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.

¹⁹Lâex aj Egipto, cauresihomak êrib chi cßamecß chi prêxil. Li tenamit Menfis tâsachekß ru. Tâcanâk chi mâcßaß cuan chi saß.

²⁰Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.

²⁰Li naßajej Egipto chanchan jun li châbil tukß ix cuacax. Abanan tâsachekß ru xbaneb li teßchâlk saß li norte.

²¹Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.

²¹Ut eb li soldado, li tojbileb, chanchaneb li cocß cuacax li nînkeb xtibel. Incßaß teßxcuy pletic. Teßxsukßisi ban ribeb ut teßêlelik xban nak xcuulac xkßehil nak teßsachekß ruheb.

²²The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

²²Eb laj Egipto, teßêlelik joß nak naêlelic li cßantiß nak yôkeb chi nachßoc li xicß nequeßiloc reheb. Teßchâlk riqßuin mâl. Chanchanakeb li cuînk li nequeßtßanoc cheß.

²³They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

²³Chanchanakeb li cuînk li nequeßtßanoc re li qßuicheß. Incßaß naru rajlanquileb xban xqßuialeb. Kßaxal nabaleb chiruheb laj sâcß.

²⁴The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

²⁴Eb laj Egipto teßcßutekß xxutân. Teßchapekß xbaneb li teßchâlk saß li norte, chan li Dios.

²⁵The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:

²⁵Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel, naxye: —Lâin tinqßue chixtojbal xmâc laj Amón lix dioseb laj Tebas. Ut tinqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb laj faraón ut eb laj Egipto rochbeneb lix dioseb ut eb lix rey. Ut tinqßueheb ajcuiß chixtojbal xmâqueb li nequeßxcßojob xchßôl riqßuin laj faraón.

²⁶And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.

²⁶Lâin tinkßaxtesiheb saß rukßeb li nequeßraj xcamsinquileb. Tinkßaxtesiheb saß rukß laj Nabucodonosor ut eb li nequeßtenkßan re. Abanan mokon teßcuânk cuißchic saß lix tenamiteb aran Egipto joß nak queßcuan junxil, chan li Kâcuaß.

²⁷But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

²⁷Lâex aj Israel, li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob, mexxucuac. Michßinan êchßôl. Lâin tincolok êre usta saß najtil tenamit cuanquex chak. Ut tinqßueheb cuißchic chi sukßîc eb lâ cualal âcßajol li cuanqueb chi prêxil. Texcuânk cuißchic saß tuktûquil usilal.

²⁸Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

²⁸Mexxucuac lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob laj cßanjel chicuu. Lâin tincuânk êriqßuin. Lâin tinsach ruheb chixjunileb li xnînkal ru tenamit li texinjeqßui cuiß, abanan lâin incßaß texinsach chi junaj cua. Tento nak texinqßue chixtojbal êmâc, abanan saß tîquilal tinbânu, chan li Kâcuaß.
