¹Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

¹Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios quiâtinac cuißchic cuiqßuin.

²Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

²Joßcaßin quixye cue: —Kßaxal ninra lin tenamit Jerusalén (Sión). Joßcan nak nachal injoskßil saß xbêneb li xicß nequeßiloc re.

³Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

³Lâin tincßameb cuißchic lin tenamit Jerusalén saß usilal ut tincuânk riqßuineb. “Tenamit Tîc Xchßôl” tâyehekß reheb. Lix tzûl li Dios li cuan cuiß li templo “Santil Tzûl” tixcßabaßin.—

⁴Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

⁴Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios: —Eb li tîxil cuînk ut eb li tîxil ixk telajeßcßojlâk cuißchic saß eb li be. Cuânkeb xxukß saß rukßeb xban nak ac tîxeb chic chi us.

⁵And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.

⁵Nabalakeb li cocßal teßbatzßûnk saß eb li be.

⁶Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.

⁶Ut li Kâcuaß quixye ajcuiß: —Lâex li joß qßuial chic texcanâk, têcßoxla nak incßaß târûk xbânunquil li sachba chßôlej aßin. Abanan chicuu lâin mâcßaß chßaßaj xbânunquil.

⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

⁷Lâin tincoleb lin tenamit chiruheb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß eb li naßajej bar na-el cuiß chak li sakße ut chiruheb li cuanqueb saß li naßajej bar na-oc cuiß li sakße.

⁸And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

⁸Tebincßam cuißchic saß lix naßajeb Jerusalén ut aran chic teßcuânk. Aßanakeb lin tenamit ut lâinak lix Dioseb. Lâin tintaklânk saß xbêneb saß tîquilal ut saß xyâlal, chan.

⁹Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

⁹Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß, li nimajcual Dios: —Cacuubresihomak lê chßôl chixyîbanquil lin templo. Lâex ac querabi li cßaßru queßxye li profeta chalen nak queßxtiquib chak xqßuebal li cimiento, chan.

¹⁰For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

¹⁰Nak toj mâjiß queßxtiquib xyîbanquil lin templo, mâcßaß xtojbaleb li cuînk, chi moco cuan xtojbal rix li cßanjel nequeßxbânu li xul. Ut xiu xiu cuanqueb li tenamit xbaneb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb. Ut lâin ajcuiß quinbânun re, re nak incßaß teßxcßam ribeb saß usilal.

¹¹But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.

¹¹Joßcan quinbânu junxil. Abanan anakcuan moco joßcan ta chic tinbânu riqßuineb li tenamit Israel, li joß qßuial chic xeßcana, chan li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios.

¹²For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

¹²—Lâin tinqßueheb chi cuânc saß tuktûquil usilal. Ut tâûchînk cuißchic li racuîmkeb saß li chßochß aßan ut tâûchînk ajcuiß li uvas. Ut lix chußque tâtßakresînk re li racuîmkeb. Chixjunil aßin tinqßue reheb li tenamit Israel, li joß qßuial chic teßcanâk.

¹³And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

¹³Lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Judá ut li ralal xcßajol laj Israel, junxil majecuanbilex ut tzßektânanbilex xbaneb li jalanil tenamit. Abanan, anakcuan texincol ut saß êcßabaß lâex nak osobtesinbilakeb li jalanil tenamit. Mexxucuac. Cacuubresihomak ban êchßôl chi cßanjelac.—

¹⁴For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:

¹⁴Quixye ajcuiß li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios: —Lâin quincßoxla xqßuebaleb chixtojbal lix mâqueb lê xeßtônil yucuaß nak queßxchikß injoskßil ut incßaß quinjal incßaßux riqßuin li quincßoxla xbânunquil.

¹⁵So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.

¹⁵Abanan anakcuan saß eb li cutan aßin, xincßoxla nak texcuosobtesi cuißchic lâex aj Jerusalén, joß ajcuiß chêjunilex lâex aj Judá. Joßcan nak mexxucuac.

¹⁶These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

¹⁶Aßan aßin li tento têbânu lâex. Yâl chex-âtinak riqßuineb lê ras êrîtzßin. Ut chexrakok âtin saß tîquilal ut saß xyâlal re nak cuânk li tuktûquil usilal saß êyânk.

¹⁷And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Mâ jun ta êre tixcßoxla xbânunquil raylal re li ras rîtzßin. Ut incßaß têpatzß incßabaß yal riqßuin ticßtiß, xban nak aßan xicß nacuil lâin, chan li nimajcual Dios.

¹⁸And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,

¹⁸Li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios quiâtinac cuiqßuin ut quixye cue:

¹⁹Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

¹⁹—Li ayûn li nequebânu rajlal chihab saß xcâ li po, saß roß li po, saß xcuuk li po ut saß xlaje li po tâsukßisîk chokß ninkße re sahil chßôlejil chokß êre lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Joßcan nak qßuehomak êchßôl chi cuânc saß xyâlal ut saß tuktûquil usilal, chan li Kâcuaß.

²⁰Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:

²⁰Aßan aßin li quixye li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios: —Tâcuulak xkßehil nak teßchâlk nabaleb li cristian saß lix nînkal ru tenamit chi cuânc arin, chan li nimajcual Dios.

²¹And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.

²¹Li cuanqueb saß li junjûnk chi tenamit teßxye reheb li cuanqueb saß jalan tenamit: —Yôkeb. Toxic Jerusalén chixsicßbal li Kâcuaß. Aran takatzßâma chiru li nimajcual Dios nak torosobtesi.— Ut eb aßan teßchakßok ut teßxye: —Toxic Jerusalén lâo, chaßkeb.

²²Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.

²²Nabaleb teßchâlk saß eb li xnînkal ru tenamit chixsicßbal li Kâcuaß arin Jerusalén, ut teßxtzßâma chiru nak teßosobtesîk.Saß eb li cutan aßan, lajêb chi cuînk jalan jalânk xtenamiteb ut jalan jalânk râtinobâleb teßchâlk ut teßxchap chi rakß junak aj judío ut teßxye re: —Lâo takaj xic chêrix lâex aran Jerusalén xban nak nakanau nak li Kâcuaß Dios cuan êriqßuin lâex aj judío, chaßkeb.

²³Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

²³Saß eb li cutan aßan, lajêb chi cuînk jalan jalânk xtenamiteb ut jalan jalânk râtinobâleb teßchâlk ut teßxchap chi rakß junak aj judío ut teßxye re: —Lâo takaj xic chêrix lâex aran Jerusalén xban nak nakanau nak li Kâcuaß Dios cuan êriqßuin lâex aj judío, chaßkeb.
