¹Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

¹Ra châlel saß xbên li tenamit Nínive xban nak aj camsineleb. Numtajenak aj ticßtißeb ut aj êlkßeb. Ut incßaß nequeßraj xcanabanquil li mâusilal nequeßxbânu.

²The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

²Abihomak chanru nak yôqueb chi châlc li teßnumtâk saß êbên lâex aj Nínive. Yôqueb chixsacßbal lix cacuâyeb re nak teßchâlk chi junpât. Cau nequeßecßan chak li rok nak yôqueb chi châlc. Ut eb lix carruajeb nequeßpojloc ut nequeßpiscßoc chak chi châlc.

³The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

³Nak yôqueb chi châlc chi camsînc chirix lix cacuâyeb, cßajoß nak nalemtzßun lix lânseb ut lix chßîchßeb nak nequeßxtaksi. Numtajenak cuißchic nabal li tochßoleb ut kßaxal cuißchic nabaleb li camenak. Nequeßxtich li rokeb chiruheb li camenak li yôqueb chi pletic.

⁴Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

⁴Li tenamit Nínive yô chixcßulbal li raylal aßin xban nak xnumta li mâusilal xeßxbânu. Chanchaneb jun li ixk aj yumbêt. Xban xchßinaßusal naxbalakßiheb li tenamit. Aßan tzßakal aj tûl. Naxkßunbesiheb li tenamit toj retal narêchaniheb.

⁵Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

⁵Li nimajcual Dios quixye: —Lâin tinsach êru lâex aj Nínive. Chanchan tßustßu texincanab nak tinmakß chêru li cßaßru êre. Tincßut êxutân chiruheb li xnînkal ru tenamit.

⁶And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.

⁶Chanchan tinqßue li tzßaj saß êbên nak texintzßektâna. Tincßut êxutân chiruheb li tenamit ut sachsôk xnaßlebeb teßcanâk chêrilbal.

⁷And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

⁷Chixjunileb li jalan tenamit incßaß chic teßraj êrilbal. Teßxye: Eb laj Nínive queßsacheß ruheb. ¿Ani ta cuiß tâtokßobânk ruheb? Ut, ¿ani ta cuiß tâcßojobânk xchßôleb? chaßkeb.

⁸Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

⁸Lâex aj Nínive, ¿ma nequecßoxla nak kßaxal cau êrib chixcolbal lê tenamit chiru lix tenamiteb laj Tebas xban nak sutsu riqßuin nimaß? ¿Ma incßaß ta biß cuan chixcßatk li nimaß Nilo li tenamit Tebas? Li tenamit aßan sutsu riqßuin haß ut aßan raj nacoloc reheb joß rêkaj li tzßac li nequeßxsut cuiß li tenamit.

⁹Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

⁹Eb laj Etiopía ut eb laj Egipto queßcoloc re li tenamit aßan. Ut kßaxal cauheb rib. Ut queßtenkßâc ajcuiß xbaneb laj Fut ut eb laj Libia.

¹⁰Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

¹⁰Abanan, usta kßaxal cauheb rib, eb laj Tebas queßchapeß ajcuiß ut queßcßameß chi najt. Eb li cocßal quilajeßsaqßueß saß eb li xâla be toj retal queßcamsîc. Queßbûlic chirixeb laj cßamol be re teßril ani aj iqßuin teßcanâk chi môsil li junjûnk ut eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil queßbaqßueß riqßuin cadena.

¹¹Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.

¹¹Joßcan ajcuiß têcßul lâex aj Nínive. Chanchan texcalâk nak têyal xsicßbal bar têcol êrib. Têyal raj chic xmukbal êrib chiruheb li xicß nequeßiloc êre.

¹²All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

¹²Chixjunileb li cab li têcol cuiß êrib, yal caßchßin teßtochßekß ut junpât teßtßanekß. Chanchanakeb jun tôn chi higo nabal li ru. Yal caßchßin tâtochßekß lix tônal ut li ru tâtßanekß ut tâloßekß.

¹³Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.

¹³Lê soldado li cuanqueb saß lê tenamit chanchanakeb chic li ixk xban nak incßaß chic cauhakeb rib. Chanchan nak li oquebâl re lê tenamit teto chiruheb li xicß nequeßiloc êre. Cßatbil nak teßosokß lix puertil li oquebâl re lê tenamit.

¹⁴Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.

¹⁴Xocomak nabal lê haß re nak yoßon cuânkex nak teßchâlk chi pletic êriqßuin. Yîbomak chi us li cab li nequecol cuiß êrib. Cßamomak chak li seb ut yokßimak. Cauresihomak lê horno re nak têyîb nabal li xan.

¹⁵There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.

¹⁵Cßatbil nak tex-osokß saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc êre ut riqßuin chßîchß texcamsîk. Chanchan nak na-osoß li acuîmk xban laj sâcß nak texcamsîk xbaneb. Usta kßaxal nabalex joß laj sâcß, abanan tex-osokß saß rukßeb.

¹⁶Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.

¹⁶Kßaxal cuißchic nabaleb li nequeßchal chi cßayînc saß êyânk. Chanchan xqßuialeb li chahim chiru li choxa. Eb aßan chanchanakeb laj sâcß li nequeßsachoc re li acuîmk ut nequeßxic.

¹⁷Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

¹⁷Eb laj cßamol be ut li cuanqueb xcuanquil saß lê tenamit, mâcßaß nequeßxbânu. Chanchaneb laj sâcß. Nak que nequeßxletzexi rib chiruheb li tzßac. Ut nak natikcuoß li sakße, mâ ani nanaßoc re bar nequeßxic.

¹⁸Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

¹⁸Mâcßaß yôqueb laj ilol reheb lâ tenamit, at xreyeb laj Asiria. Chanchan junes cuârc yôqueb. Junes hilânc nequeßxbânu li cauheb rib saß lâ tenamit ut chixjunileb li tenamit quilajeßxchaßchaßi ribeb saß eb li tzûl. Mâ ani naru nachßutuban reheb.Lâex aj Nínive, xex-osoß.

¹⁹There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

¹⁹Lâex aj Nínive, xex-osoß. Mâcßaß chic xbanol li raylal li yôquex chixcßulbal. Chixjunileb li teßabînk resil li têcßul, teßxpokßpokßi li rukßeb xban xsahil xchßôleb. Teßsahokß saß xchßôleb nak tex-osokß xban nak kßaxal cuißchic nabal li raylal xebânu reheb.
