¹Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

¹Joßcaßin naxye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel, chirixeb laj Moab: —Raylal tâchâlk saß xbêneb laj Nebo xban nak tâsachekß ruheb. Quiriataim tâchapekß ut tâcßutekß xxutân. Tâchapekß ut tâsachekß ru li tenamit Misgab.

²There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.

²Eb laj Moab incßaß chic teßqßuehekß xlokßal. Eb li xicß nequeßiloc re li cuanqueb Hesbón nequeßxcßûb ru chanru nak teßrisi xcuanquil joß nimla tenamit. Eb li cuanqueb Madmena teßsachekß ruheb. Junelic teßsiqßuekß re xcamsinquileb.

³A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.

³Eb li cuanqueb Horonaim japjôkeb re xban nak junes raylal ut sachecß yôkeb chixcßulbal.

⁴Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

⁴Eb laj Moab yôkeb chi cßuluc raylal ut eb li cocßal yôkeb chi yâbac xban li raylal.

⁵For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

⁵Eb li yôkeb chi taksînc saß li tzûl Luhit yôkeb chi yâbac xban li raylal li yôkeb chixcßulbal. Ut eb li yôkeb chi cubsînc Horonaim, aßaneb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb ut teßrabi nak yôkeb chi yâbac.

⁶Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

⁶¡Elenkex! ¡Colomak êrib, lâex aj Moab! Chanchanakex li qßuix li cuan saß li chaki chßochß.

⁷For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.

⁷Lâex texchapekß ajcuiß xban nak nequecßojob êchßôl saß xbên lê biomal. Ut laj Quemos lê dios tâchapekß ut tâcßamekß chi prêxil rochbeneb laj tij joß eb ajcuiß li cuanqueb xcuanquil.

⁸And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.

⁸Eb li teßsachok êru teßchâlk saß li junjûnk chi tenamit. Ut mâ jun êre teßrûk chi êlelic. Tâpoßekß ru li ru takßa ut tâsachekß ru li chßochß li tîc ru xban nak joßcan quixye li Kâcuaß.

⁹Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

⁹Us raj cuan ta xxiqßueb laj Moab re nak târûk teßêlelik xban nak tâsachekß ru lix tenamiteb. Mâ ani chic tâcanâk aran.

¹⁰Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

¹⁰(Tzßektânanbilakeb li incßaß nequeßxqßue xchßôl chixbânunquil lix cßanjel li Dios. Tzßektânanbilakeb li incßaß teßoquênk chi camsînc nak taklanbileb xban li Kâcuaß.)

¹¹Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

¹¹Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Junelic cßojcßo xchßôleb laj Moab. Incßaß queßchapeß ut incßaß queßcßameß saß najtil tenamit. Chanchaneb li vino li tuktu ru li incßaß quijaleß xnaßaj. Incßaß qui-el xsahil chi moco lix bôc.

¹²Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

¹²Abanan cuulac re xkßehil nak eb laj Moab teßcßamekß chi prêxil saß jalan naßajej joß nak najaleß xnaßaj li vino ut najoreß lix naßaj.

¹³And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

¹³Saß eb li cutan aßan eb laj Moab teßxutânâk xban nak queßxcßojob xchßôleb riqßuin laj Quemos lix dioseb joß nak eb laj Israel queßxutânâc xban lix dioseb li cuan Bet-el, li queßxcßojob cuiß xchßôleb.

¹⁴How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

¹⁴Lâex aj Moab, ¿cßaßut nak nequeye nak lâex châbil soldados ut cau êrib chi pletic?

¹⁵Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

¹⁵Eb li tenamit Moab ut eb li cristian teßsachekß ruheb. Eb li sâj cuînk li sicßbileb ru camsinbilakeb chi chßîchß nak teßosokß, chan li tzßakal Rey, li “Nimajcual Dios” xcßabaß.

¹⁶The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

¹⁶Yô chak chi nachßoc li raylal li yô chi châlc saß xbêneb laj Moab. Chi sêb tâsachekß ru li tenamit.

¹⁷All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

¹⁷Ilomak xtokßobâl ruheb laj Moab, lâex li cuanquex chixjun sutam, lâex li xenau chanru lix lokßal junxil. Yehomak, “Qui-isîc xcuanquilal. Xtokeß lix xukß retalil lix cuanquil.”

¹⁸Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.

¹⁸Lâex li cuanquex saß li tenamit Dibón, cubsihomak êrib ut chunlankex saß li poks xban nak châlc re laj sachonel, li yô chak chi pletic riqßuineb laj Moab ut yô chixjuqßuinquil li cab li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb.

¹⁹O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

¹⁹Ut lâex li cuanquex Aroer, xaklinkex chire li be chi oybenînc. Patzßomak reheb li yôqueb chi êlelic cßaßru xcßulman.

²⁰Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

²⁰Teßchakßok ut teßxye, “Li naßajej Moab xsacheß ru. Texyâbak xban nak xutânal xcßul. Yehomak resil chire li nimaß Arnón nak xsacheß ru lix naßajeb laj Moab.”

²⁵The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

²⁵X-isîc xcuanquileb laj Moab. Mâcßaß chic xcuanquileb, chan li Kâcuaß.

²⁶Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

²⁶Qßuehomakeb laj Moab chi calâc xban nak xeßxnimobresi ribeb chiru li Kâcuaß. Qßuehomakeb laj Moab chixtolcßosinquil ribeb saß lix xaßauheb. Qßuehomakeb laj Moab chi hobecß.

²⁷For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

²⁷Lâex aj Moab, ¿ma incßaß ta biß xehobeb laj Israel? ¿Ma queßtaßeß ta biß laj Israel chi elkßâc? ¿Ma xban ta biß aßan nak nequehobeb?

²⁸O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.

²⁸Canabomak lê tenamit ut texxic chi cuânc saß xyânkeb li pec, lâex li cuanquex Moab. Chanchanakex chic li mucuy li naxyîb xsoc saß li oquebâl re li ochoch pec.

²⁹We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

²⁹Lâo xkabi resil nak nequeßxnimobresi ribeb laj Moab. Kßetkßeteb ut joskßeb. Nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb ut aj kßetoleb âtin.

³⁰I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

³⁰Lâin ninnau lix chßôleb. Moco us ta teßêlk nak nequeßxnimobresi ribeb. Mâcßaß na-oc cuiß li nequeßxbânu.

³¹Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

³¹Joßcan nak lâin tinyâbak chirixeb laj Moab. Chirixeb chixjunileb tinyâbak. Nayotßeß inchßôl chirixeb li cuanqueb saß li tenamit Kir-hares.

³²O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

³²Tinyâbak chêrix lâex li cuanquex Sibma joß nak quinyâbac chirixeb li cuanqueb Jazer. Kßaxal nim raj lê cuanquil nak xexcuan. Xcuulac toj cuan cuiß li palau li cuan nachß riqßuin li tenamit Jazer. Abanan xcßulun laj sachonel ut xrisi lê cuanquil. Chanchanex li uvas li naxhel rib chi us ut xsacheß li ru.

³³And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

³³Mâcßaßak chic li sahil chßôlej saß li xnaßaj li acuîmk ut saß li cßalebâl li cuanqueb Moab. Incßaß chic tâyatzßmânk ru li uvas. Mâ ani chic tixyatzß li uvas chi sa saß xchßôleb. Nequeßxjap reheb, abanan mâcuaß xban xsahil xchßôleb. Nequeßxjap ban reheb xban xrahileb xchßôl.

³⁴From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.

³⁴Eb li cuanqueb Hesbón yôqueb chi yâbac ut lix yâbeb nacuulac toj Eleale ut Jahaza. Lix yâbeb na-abîc toj Zoar ut Horonaim ut Eglat-selisiya xban nak queßchakic li yußam haß li cuanqueb Nimrim.

³⁵Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.

³⁵Lâin tinsach ruheb li nequeßmayejac saß eb li naßajej li najt xteram li cuanqueb Moab ut nequeßxcßat li pom chiruheb lix dioseb, chan li Kâcuaß.

³⁶Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

³⁶Nayotßeß inchßôl chirixeb li cuanqueb Moab ut chirixeb li cuanqueb Kir-hares. Lix rahil inchßôl, aßan chanchan nak nachßeßman jun li bich saß li xôlb re rahil chßôlejil xban nak mâcßaß chic xbiomaleb laj Moab.

³⁷For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

³⁸There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.

³⁸Yalak bar yôqueb chi yâbac xban nak lâin xinsach ru li naßajej Moab. Yôqueb chi yâbac saß xbêneb li cab ut saß eb li cßayil. Li tenamit chanchan jun li cuc li xjoreß ut mâ ani na-ajoc re, chan li Dios.

³⁹They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

³⁹Chexyâbak chirixeb laj Moab. Xucuajel chic rilbaleb. Nequeßxjal li rilobâleb xban xxutâneb. Nequeßhobeß ut nequeßseßêc xbaneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam.

⁴⁰For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

⁴⁰Joßcaßin naxye li Kâcuaß: —Qßuehomak retal. Eb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb laj Moab yôqueb chi châlc chixsachbal ruheb. Chanchaneb li tßiu nak naxic chixchapbal lix tib.

⁴¹Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

⁴¹Eb li tenamit teßchapekß joß eb ajcuiß li cab li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb. Saß eb li cutan aßan eb li soldado aj Moab sicsotkeb. Chanchanakeb jun li ixk li yô chi cßuluc raylal.

⁴²And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.

⁴²Li nimla tenamit Moab tâsachekß ru xban nak queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chiru li Kâcuaß.

⁴³Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

⁴⁴He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

⁴⁵They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

⁴⁵Cuanqueb li teßxic chixcolbal ribeb aran Hesbón. Abanan mâcßaß naru teßxbânu. Quicßateß li tenamit Hesbón, lix tenamit li rey Sehón. Quicßateß li tzûl ut eb lix nubâl li tenamit aßin li incßaß nequeßcuan saß xyâlal.

⁴⁶Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
