¹It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

¹Aran Samaria cuan jun li cuînk aj Nabot xcßabaß. Jezreel xtenamit. Li cuînk aßan cuan jun xsir li racuîmk uvas nachß riqßuin lix palacio laj Acab, lix reyeb laj Samaria.

²Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

²Saß jun li cutan li rey Acab quixye re laj Nabot: —Qßue cue lix naßaj lâ cuacuîmk uvas. Nachß cuan riqßuin lin palacio. Lâin nacuaj raubal li cuacuîmk aran. Tinqßue jun chic li naßajej chokß rêkaj malaj ut tintoj châcuu riqßuin tumin, chan.

³Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”

³Abanan laj Nabot quixye re: —Incßaß taxak chixqßue inlesêns li Dios chixcßayinquil âcue li naßajej aßin xban nak lâin xcuêchani riqßuin lin xeßtônil yucuaß, chan.

⁴Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

⁴Laj Acab cô saß xpalacio chi ra saß xchßôl ut chi yô xjoskßil xban nak laj Nabot quixye re nak incßaß tixqßue re li naßajej li quirêchani riqßuin lix xeßtônil xyucuaß. Nak quicuulac saß rochoch, quixyocob rib saß xcuarib ut yô chi iloc chiru li tzßac ut incßaß quiraj cuaßac.

⁵But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”

⁵Ut lix Jezabel, li rixakil, quicuulac riqßuin ut quixye re: —¿Cßaßut nak ra saß âchßôl? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß nacacuaj cuaßac? chan.

⁶He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”

⁶Laj Acab quixye re: —Xinâtinac riqßuin laj Nabot, Jezreel xtenamit. Xinye re nak tixcßayi chokß cue lix naßaj lix uvas, malaj ut tinjal chiru. Abanan aßan xye cue nak incßaß tixqßue cue, chan.

⁷Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

⁷Ut lix Jezabel li rixakil quixye re: —Lâat li rey. Lâat nacattaklan arin Israel. Cuaclin ut cuaßin. Cßojob âchßôl. Lâin tinsicß xyâlal chanru tinbânu re nak aßan tixqßue âcue lix naßaj li racuîmk, chan.

⁸So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.

⁸Ut lix Jezabel quixtzßîba li hu saß xcßabaß li rey Acab ut quixqßue li retalil lix matkßab chiru. Quixtakla li hu aßan riqßuineb laj cßamol be ut riqßuineb li nequeßtaklan saß lix tenamit laj Nabot.

⁹She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

⁹Saß eb li hu aßan quixye: —Yehomak resil nak tâcuânk li ayûn. Têchunub laj Nabot chiruheb li tenamit.

¹⁰Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”

¹⁰Têsicß cuibakeb li cuînk li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Têcßam chak chiru laj Nabot re teßxye nak xmajecua li Dios ut xmajecua ajcuiß li rey Acab. Chirix aßan têcßam laj Nabot chire tenamit ut têcuti chi pec toj retal tâcâmk, chan saß li hu.

¹¹The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

¹¹Eb li nequeßcßamoc be ut eb li nequeßtaklan saß lix tenamit laj Nabot queßxbânu joß queßtaklâc cuiß xban lix Jezabel joß quixtzßîba saß li hu li quixtakla riqßuineb.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹²Queßxye resil nak teßxbânu x-ayûn li tenamit ut queßxchunub laj Nabot chiruheb.

¹³The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

¹³Ut queßcuulac li cuînk li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Queßchunla chiru laj Nabot ut queßxye li ticßtiß chiruheb li tenamit. Queßxye nak laj Nabot quixmajecua li Dios ut quixmajecua ajcuiß li rey. Ut queßxcßam laj Nabot chire tenamit ut queßxcuti chi pec toj retal quicam.

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”

¹⁴Chirix chic aßan queßxtakla resil riqßuin lix Jezabel ut queßxye re nak queßxcuti chi pec laj Nabot ut quicam.

¹⁵It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”

¹⁵Nak quirabi resil lix camic, lix Jezabel quixye re laj Acab: —Ayu ut chap chokß âcue lix naßaj lix uvas laj Nabot li incßaß quixcßayi âcue xban nak laj Nabot mâ ani chic. Xcam, chan.

¹⁶It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

¹⁶Nak laj Acab quirabi resil nak xcam laj Nabot, cô chixchapbal lix naßaj lix uvas re tixcßam chokß re.

¹⁷The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁷Ut li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin li profeta Elías, Tisbe xtenamit, ut quixye re:

¹⁸“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

¹⁸—Tatxic chixtaubal laj Acab lix reyeb laj Israel, li cuan Samaria. Anakcuan cuan saß lix naßaj lix uvas laj Nabot xban nak cô chixchapbal chokß re.

¹⁹You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”

¹⁹Tâye re, “Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß: ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lâat li xatcamsin re laj Nabot? Ut anakcuan yôcat chixchapbal lix naßaj li racuîmk chokß âcue”. Ut tâye ajcuiß re, “Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß. Saß li naßajej li xeßxrekß cuiß lix quiqßuel laj Nabot eb li tzßiß, aran ajcuiß teßxrekß lâ quiqßuel lâat, at rey,” chaßkat re laj Acab.—

²⁰Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.

²⁰Nak laj Elías quicuulac aran, laj Acab quixye re: —At Elías, lâat li xicß nacat-iloc cue. Xinâtau chixbânunquil li incßaß us, chan. Ut laj Elías quixye re: —Yâl. Xatintau chixbânunquil li incßaß us xban nak lâat cßaynakat chixbânunquil li mâusilal chiru li Kâcuaß.

²¹Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

²¹Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß xye âcue chi joßcaßin: “Lâin tinqßue raylal saß âbên. Tinsach ruheb chixjunileb lâ cualal âcßajol li cuanqueb Israel ut tinsach ruheb chixjunileb li cuînk li cuanqueb saß lâ cuochoch, joß môs joß ajcuiß li mâcuaßeb môs.

²²I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”

²²Tinsach ruheb lâ cualal âcßajol joß quinbânu reheb li ralal xcßajol li rey Jeroboam li ralal laj Nabat. Teßxcßul joß quixcßul laj Baasa li ralal laj Ahías xban nak xachikß injoskßil nak xacßameb xbe laj Israel chi mâcobc chicuu”, chan li Dios.

²³Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

²³Li Dios x-âtinac ajcuiß chirix li tixcßul lix Jezabel. Quixye: —Lix tibel lix Jezabel tâcßuxekß xbaneb li tzßiß cuan cuiß li tzßac li sutsu cuiß li tenamit Jezreel.

²⁴The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”

²⁴Ut eb lâ cualal âcßajol li teßcâmk saß tenamit teßcßuxekß xbaneb li tzßiß. Ut eb li teßcâmk saß cßalebâl teßcßuxekß xbaneb li soßsol, chan li Dios.

²⁵But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

²⁵Kßaxal quinumta li mâusilal quixbânu laj Acab chiru li Dios. Mâ ani junak reheb li rey quixbânu mâusilal joß quixbânu aßan. Ut lix Jezabel li rixakil, aßan li quicßamoc be chiru chixbânunquil li mâusilal.

²⁶He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

²⁶Kßaxal yibru li quixbânu laj Acab nak quixlokßoniheb li yîbanbil dios joß queßxbânu eb laj amorreo li queßisîc xban li Kâcuaß saß lix tenamiteb laj Israel.

²⁷It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

²⁷Nak laj Acab quirabi li quixye li Dios, quixpej li rakß. Ut quixqßue chirix li kßes ru tßicr ut quixbânu lix ayûn. Quicuar chirix li kßes ru tßicr ut kßaxal ra saß xchßôl.

²⁸The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁸Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Elías, Tisbe xtenamit:—¿Ma xaqßue retal nak laj Acab xcubsi rib chicuu? Xban nak xcubsi rib, lâin incßaß tintakla li raylal saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol nak toj yoßyôk. Abanan tinqßue li raylal saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol nak ac cuan chic li ralal chokß rey, chan.

²⁹“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”

²⁹—¿Ma xaqßue retal nak laj Acab xcubsi rib chicuu? Xban nak xcubsi rib, lâin incßaß tintakla li raylal saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol nak toj yoßyôk. Abanan tinqßue li raylal saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol nak ac cuan chic li ralal chokß rey, chan.
