¹Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

²For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

²Joßcan nak mextzßâman reheb li yîbanbil dios xban nak aßan moco teßxqßue ta li cßaßru têtzßâma. Eb laj kße, aßan aj ticßtißeb. Moco yâl ta li cßaßru nequeßxye.

³Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

³Li nimajcual Dios quixye: —Cßajoß injoskßil saß xbêneb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb lin tenamit. Lâin tinqßueheb chixtojbal xmâqueb xban nak incßaß xeßcßamoc be chiruheb saß tîquilal.

⁴Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

⁴Saß xyânkeb li tenamit Judá tâêlk chak jun li kßaxal nim xcuanquil, joß li pec li naqßueheß saß xxuc li cab. Aßan chanchan li cheß li nacûtun re junak li muhebâl. Ut chanchan ajcuiß li tzimaj re pletic. Ut aßan li tâtaklânk saß xbên chixjunil li ruchichßochß.

⁵And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

⁵Cauhakeb rib laj Israel chi pletic joß li soldado li nequeßxyekßi li xicß nequeßiloc reheb saß li sulul li cuan saß be. Teßnumtâk saß xbêneb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb xban nak lâin li Kâcuaß tincuânk riqßuineb. Teßxcßut xxutâneb li nequeßchal chirix cacuây chi pletic riqßuineb.

⁶And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

⁶Lâin tinqßue xcacuil xchßôleb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Ut tincoleb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol laj José. Tebinqßue cuißchic chi sukßîc saß lix naßajeb. Lâin tincuuxtâna ruheb. Chanchan nak mâ jun sut xintzßektânaheb xban nak lâin li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb. Ut tincuabi li cßaßru teßxtzßâma chicuu.

⁷And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

⁷Cauhakeb rib chi pletic li ralal xcßajoleb laj Efraín. Tâsahokß saß xchßôleb joß nak nasahoß saß xchßôleb nak nequeßrucß li vino. Nak teßxqßue retal li usilal xinbânu reheb, tâsahokß ajcuiß saß xchßôleb li ralal xcßajol. Tâsahokß saß xchßôleb cuiqßuin lâin li Kâcuaß.

⁸I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

⁸Lâin tebinbok cuiqßuin ut tinchßutub ruheb xban nak ac xebincol. Ut kßaxal cuißchic nabalakeb joß nak queßcuan chak junxil.

⁹And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

⁹Usta ac xinjeqßuiheb ru saß eb li tenamit, ut usta cuanqueb chak saß li najtil tenamit, toj aran tineßxcßoxla chak. Teßsukßîk chak ut teßcuânk cuißchic saß lix naßajeb rochbeneb li ralal xcßajol.

¹⁰I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.

¹⁰Tincuisiheb chak saß li tenamit Egipto joß ajcuiß saß li tenamit Asiria ut tebincßam saß lix tenamiteb Galaad ut Líbano. Aran teßcuânk ut incßaß chic tâtzßaklok li naßajej re teßcuânk xban nak kßaxal nabalakeb.

¹¹And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
