¹How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.

¹Li ka-oro xeßkßekoß ru. Li châbil oro incßaß chic nequeßlemtzßun. Ut li tertôquil pec li xcuan saß li templo nequeßtßanaxin yalak bar saß eb li be.

²The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

²Eb li cuanqueb Sión queßqßueheß xlokßaleb junxil. Kßaxal lokßeb chiru li oro. Abanan anakcuan chanchaneb aj chic li chßochß ucßal yîbanbil yal xban cuînk.

³Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

³Li ixki xoj naxqßueheb xtuß li cocß ral. Abanan eb lin tenamit moco joßcaneb ta. Kßaxal joskßeb ban. Chanchaneb li nimla joskß aj xul avestruz xcßabaß, li nacuan saß li chaki chßochß.

⁴The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.

⁴Li rußuj rakß eb li cßulaßal li toj nequeßtußuc naxletz rib saß reheb xban li chaki el. Eb li cocßal nequeßxtzßâma xcua rucßaheb, abanan mâ ani naqßuehoc reheb.

⁵They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.

⁵Eb li queßtzacan chak chi châbil junxil, anakcuan yôqueb chi câmc xban xtzßocajiqueb saß eb li be. Queßyoßla saß biomal. Abanan anakcuan nequeßxyocßob ribeb saß li mul.

⁶For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.

⁶Kßaxal cuißchic xnumta lix mâusilal lin tenamit chiru li mâusilal li queßxbânu eb laj Sodoma, li queßsacheß ruheb saß junpât chi mâ ani quipletic riqßuineb.

⁷Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

⁷Eb li queßcßamoc be chiku kßaxal tîqueb xchßôl junxil. Chanchaneb xsakal li nieve ut li leche xban nak kßaxal tîqueb xchßôl. Kßaxal cauheb rib ut cßajoß xchakßal ruheb. Chanchaneb li tertôquil pec coral ut zafiro.

⁸Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

⁸Abanan, anakcuan chanchaneb chic li ru xam xban xkßekaleb. Mâ ani chic nanaßoc ruheb saß eb li be xban nak xeßbakoß. Lix tzßumal xletz rib chiru lix bakeleb. Chanchaneb chic li chaki siß.

⁹They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

⁹Kßaxal us chokß reheb li xeßcamsîc saß li plêt chiruheb li nequeßcam xban xtzßocajiqueb. Eb aßan timil timil nequeßcam xban nak mâcßaß chic xtzacaêmkeb.

¹⁰The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

¹⁰Usta queßxra lix cocßaleb, cuanqueb li naßbej queßxchik lix cocßal re teßxtzaca saß eb li cutan nak queßsacheß ruheb li cuanqueb Jerusalén.

¹¹The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

¹¹Quirisi xjoskßil li Kâcuaß saß xbêneb li cuanqueb Jerusalén. Quixtakla xam saß li tenamit ut quilajeßsacheß chixjunil. Joß ajcuiß lix cimiento li cab, queßosoß xban xam.

¹²The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

¹²Eb lix reyeb li jalan xtenamiteb mâ jokße queßxcßoxla nak naru teßoc saß li tenamit Jerusalén li xicß nequeßiloc reheb. Chi moco eb li jalan tenamit queßxpâb nak naru teßoc saß li oquebâl re li tenamit Jerusalén.

¹³For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,

¹³Aßin quicßulman xban lix mâqueb li profetas ut eb laj tij. Eb aßan queßmâcob nak queßxqßueheb chi camsîc aran Jerusalén li cristian li mâcßaßeb xmâc.

¹⁴They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.

¹⁴Eb li profeta ut eb laj tij chanchaneb li mutzß nak nequeßxbeni ribeb saß eb li be. Ut xban nak queßxmux ribeb riqßuin xquiqßuel li ras rîtzßin, xicß nequeßileß. Joßcan nak mâ ani na-ajoc re xchßeßbal li rakßeb.

¹⁵They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.

¹⁵Nequeßxye reheb: —Elenkex chiku. Muxbil êru. Ayukex. Incßaß tojilok êriqßuin, chanqueb li tenamit reheb. Queßêlelic ut queßcôeb yalak bar saß jalan tenamit. Ut eb li tenamit aßan queßxye: —Mâ jokße naru teßcuânk saß kayânk.—

¹⁶The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.

¹⁶Xban xjoskßil li Kâcuaß quixchaßchaßi ruheb ut incßaß chic quixcßoxlaheb. Incßaß queßqßueheß xlokßal eb laj tij chi moco queßileß xtokßobâl ruheb li nequeßcßamoc be.

¹⁷As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

¹⁷Xkasicß katenkßanquil toj retal nak incßaß chic xkacuy. Yôco chiroybeninquil nak teßchâlk chikatenkßanquil. Abanan li tenamit li yôco chiroybeninquil incßaß xru chikatenkßanquil.

¹⁸They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

¹⁸Eb li xicß nequeßiloc ke yôqueb chixqßuebal ketal. Incßaß naru noco-el saß be. Xcuulac xkßehil li kacamic. Osocß ke.

¹⁹Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

¹⁹Eb li xicß nequeßiloc ke kßaxal cau nequeßâlinac chiru li cßuch li narupupic chiru choxa. Coeßrâlina toj saß eb li tzûl ut coeßxram saß eb li chaki chßochß.

²⁰The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.

²⁰Queßxchap li karey, li sicßbil ru xban li Kâcuaß, li cßojcßo cuiß kachßôl. Saß kachßôl lâo nak cuânk li rey aßan, eb li jalan tenamit incßaß toeßxchßißchßißi.

²¹Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.

²¹Chexseßek ut chisahokß saß lê chßôl lâex li cuanquex Edom ut lâex li cuanquex aran Uz. Chisahokß saß êchßôl anakcuan nak toj naru xbânunquil xban nak tâcuulak xkßehil nak têrecßa xcßahil li raylal têcßul lâex. Chanchan texcalâk ut chanchan tßustßu texcanâk nak tâcßutekß lê xutân.Anakcuan lâex li cuanquex Sión, oc êre chi hilânc riqßuin li raylal yôquex chixcßulbal. Li Kâcuaß incßaß chic texcanab chi cßamecß saß jalan tenamit. Abanan, lâex aj Edom, texqßuehekß chixtojbal rix lê mâc. Ut tâcßutûnk chiruheb chixjunileb lê mâusilal.

²²The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.

²²Anakcuan lâex li cuanquex Sión, oc êre chi hilânc riqßuin li raylal yôquex chixcßulbal. Li Kâcuaß incßaß chic texcanab chi cßamecß saß jalan tenamit. Abanan, lâex aj Edom, texqßuehekß chixtojbal rix lê mâc. Ut tâcßutûnk chiruheb chixjunileb lê mâusilal.
