'Ij Daq vam mu' nuq jIH tlhap Dung vaD a lamentation Dung SoH, toH tuq vo' Israel.

“The virgin vo' Israel ghajtaH fallen; ghaH DIchDaq Hu' ghobe' latlh. ghaH ghaH chuH bIng Daq Daj puH; pa' ghaH ghobe' wa' Daq raise Daj Dung.”

vaD thus jatlhtaH joH'a' Daq the tuq vo' Israel: “ nej jIH, je SoH DichDaq yIn;

'ach yImev nej Bethel, ghobe' 'el Daq Gilgal, je yImev juS Daq Beersheba: vaD Gilgal DIchDaq DIch jaH Daq captivity, je Bethel DIchDaq ghoS Daq pagh.

'Iv brings sudden QIH Daq the HoS, vaj vetlh QIH choltaH Daq the yoDjuH'a'.

chaH hate ghaH 'Iv reproves Daq the lojmIt, je chaH abhor ghaH 'Iv speaks blamelessly.

Forasmuch vaj as SoH gho' Daq the mIpHa', je tlhap taxes vo' ghaH vo' wheat: SoH ghaj chenta' juHmey vo' pe' nagh, 'ach SoH DichDaq ghobe' yIn Daq chaH. SoH ghaj planted bel vineyards, 'ach SoH DIchDaq ghobe' tlhutlh chaj HIq.

vaD jIH Sov chay' law' lIj offenses, je chay' Dun 'oH lIj yemmey— SoH 'Iv afflict the just, 'Iv tlhap a bribe, je 'Iv tlhe' aside the needy Daq the bo'DIjmey.

vaj thus jatlhtaH joH'a', the joH'a' vo' Armies, the joH: “Wailing DichDaq taH Daq Hoch the broad Hemey; je chaH DichDaq jatlh Daq Hoch the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!' je chaH DichDaq ja' the farmer Daq mourning, je chaH 'Iv 'oH skillful Daq lamentation Daq wailing.

Daq Hoch vineyards pa' DichDaq taH wailing; vaD jIH DichDaq juS vegh the midst vo' SoH,” jatlhtaH joH'a'.

“Woe Daq SoH 'Iv neH the jaj vo' joH'a'! qatlh ta' SoH tIq vaD the jaj vo' joH'a'? 'oH ghaH HurghtaHghach, je ghobe' wov.
