¹At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:

¹Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Saß eb li cutan aßan lix bakeleb li rey ut eb li queßtenkßan reheb teßisîk saß lix muklebâleb xbaneb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb. Teßisîk ajcuiß lix bakeleb li profetas ut eb laj tij joß ajcuiß lix bakeleb li tenamit li queßcuan Jerusalén.

²And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

²Nequeßtßanaxin teßcanâk saß chßochß chiru li sakße ut li po joß ajcuiß chiru li chahim li queßxra ut queßxlokßoniheb. Teßcanabâk lix bakeleb chiruheb li queßxsicß cuiß xnaßlebeb. Ut mâ ani tâxocok reheb, chi moco teßmukekß. Chanchanakeb chic li cßot tzßektzßo saß chßochß.

³And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

³Ut li joß qßuial chic li teßcanâk chi yoßyo reheb lin tenamit li incßaß useb xnaßleb tinjeqßuiheb ru yalak bar. Chokß reheb aßan kßaxal us li câmc chiru li cuânc saß jalanil tenamit.

⁴Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

⁴At Jeremías, lâat tâye resil aßin reheb li tenamit. Nak junak natßaneß, ¿ma incßaß ta biß nacuacli cuißchic? Cui junak naxjal xbe, ¿ma incßaß ta biß tâsukßîk nak tixqßue retal nak mâcuaß aßan li be li yô cuiß chi xic?

⁵Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

⁵¿Cßaßut nak eb laj Jerusalén queßxjal xcßaßux? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß nequeßsukßi cuiqßuin? ¿Cßaßut nak nequeßxkßetkßeti ribeb ut incßaß nequeßraj châlc cuiqßuin?

⁶I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

⁶Xinqßue retal chi tzßakal li cßaßru nequeßxye. Incßaß nequeßâtinac saß xyâlal. Mâ ani nayotßeß xchßôl xban li mâusilal naxbânu. Mâ ani naxye, “¿Cßaßru li incßaß us xinbânu?” Nequeßxbânu ban li cßaßru nequeßraj. Chanchaneb li cacuây li nequeßxcutbe rib nak nequeßxic saß li plêt.

⁷Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

⁷Eb li jotz nequeßxnau jokße teßsukßîk saß xnaßajeb, joß eb ajcuiß li cuilix ut li mucuy ut li cßôcßob. Abanan eb lin tenamit incßaß nequeßraj xqßuebal retal lin chakßrab.

⁸How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

⁸¿Chanru nak têye, “Lâo cuan kanaßleb. Lâo cuan lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß kiqßuin”? ¿Ma incßaß ta biß queßxjal ru lin chakßrab eb laj tzßîb?

⁹The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

⁹Teßcßutekß xxutâneb li cuanqueb xnaßleb. Teßsachk xnaßlebeb ut incßaß chic teßxnau cßaßru teßxbânu. Queßxtzßektâna li cuâtin. ¿Ma cuan ta biß chic xnaßlebeb anakcuan eb aßan?

¹⁰Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

¹⁰Joßcan nak lâin tinqßueheb li rixakil reheb jalan cuînk. Ut lix naßajeb li racuîmk tinqßue reheb li teßchapok re lix tenamiteb xban nak junes lix biomal nequeßxcßoxla li cuanqueb xcuanquil joß eb ajcuiß li mâcßaßeb xcuanquil. Eb li profeta ut eb laj tij nequeßbalakßic.

¹¹For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

¹¹Chiruheb aßan moco nim ta li raylal li yô chixcßulbal lin tenamit. Eb aßan nequeßxye nak mâcßaß raylal. Nequeßxye nak cuan li tuktûquil usilal. Abanan mâcßaß tuktûquil usilal.

¹²Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

¹²¿Ma nequeßxutânâc ta biß xban li mâusilal nequeßxbânu? Incßaß. Incßaß nequeßxnau xutânâc. Joßcan nak lâin tinqßueheb chixtojbal lix mâqueb joß nak quinqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb li jun chßol chic.

¹³I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

¹³Lâin tinsach ruheb lin tenamit chi junaj cua. Chanchanakeb chic li xtônal li uvas ut li higos li incßaß naûchin, li chaki lix xak. Ut li cßaßru quinqßue reheb tâisîk chiruheb.

¹⁴Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.

¹⁴Eb lix tenamit li Dios queßxye: —¿Cßaßut nak tocanâk arin? Takachßutub kib ut toxic saß eb li tenamit li cauresinbil chi us re takacol cuiß kib. Aran tocâmk xban nak li Kâcuaß li kaDios quixye nak to-osokß. Chanchan nak xqßue li haß li banbil xsaß chikucß re tocâmk xban nak xomâcob chiru.

¹⁵We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

¹⁵Xkoybeni nak tâcuânk li tuktûquil usilal, abanan incßaß xkacßul. Xkoybeni raj nak to-usâk, abanan incßaß xo-usa. Xiu xiu ban chic cuanco.

¹⁶The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

¹⁶Yôqueb chak chi châlc li xicß nequeßiloc ke. Toj saß li naßajej Dan na-abîc xyâb saß rußujeb lix cacuâyeb. Chixjunileb li tenamit nequeßsicsot xban xxiuheb nak nequeßrabi nak nequeßxjap re li cacuây. Châlqueb re chixsachbal li kanaßaj ut chixjunil li cuan chi saß. Xeßchal chixsachbal li tenamit joß ajcuiß chixjunileb li cristian, chanqueb.

¹⁷For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Joßcan nak lâin tintaklaheb li xicß nequeßiloc êre chi pletic êriqßuin. Chanchanakeb li cßantiß li cuanqueb xmay ut incßaß naru xtûlanobresinquileb ut lâex texrahobtesîk xbaneb.—

¹⁸When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

¹⁸Laj Jeremías quixye: —At Kâcuaß, cßajoß xrahil inchßôl. Incßaß chic nincuy.

¹⁹Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

¹⁹Chacuabi taxak lix yâbeb lin tenamit li cuanqueb chi najt nak nequeßxye, “¿Ma mâcßaß ta biß li Kâcuaß aran Sión? ¿Ma mâ ani chic lix reyeb aran?” chanqueb. Li Kâcuaß quixye re: —¿Cßaßut nak queßxqßue injoskßil riqßuin xlokßoninquileb li jalanil dios? ¿Cßaßut nak nequeßxqßue xlokßal li yîbanbil dios li mâcßaß nequeßoc cuiß? chan.

²⁰The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

²⁰Laj Jeremías quixye: —Xnumeß xkßehil li kßoloc ut xnumeß li sakßehil. Abanan toj mâjiß nococoleß.

²¹For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

²¹Xyotßeß inchßôl xban nak xyotßeß xchßôleb lin tenamit. Kßaxal ra saß inchßôl. Yô chi sachc innaßleb xban li raylal.¿Ma mâcßaß li ban aran Galaad? ¿Ma mâcßaß junak aj banonel naru toxqßuirtesi? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß xo-usa? chan laj Jeremías.

²²Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

²²¿Ma mâcßaß li ban aran Galaad? ¿Ma mâcßaß junak aj banonel naru toxqßuirtesi? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß xo-usa? chan laj Jeremías.
