Bʼantiox xaq aawe
Rikʼin sahilal
1. Bʼantiox xaq aawe naq jun profeet
Naxkʼam li qabʼe anajwan.
Bʼantiox naq xakʼe li evangelio
Re xkʼutbʼal chik chiqu li kutan.
Bʼantiox laa wosobʼtesihom
Rajlal saʼ qabʼeen xakanabʼ.
Li wank choqʼ aamoos sa naqil;
Naqara xpaabʼankil laa chaqʼrabʼ.
2. Naq xchal li qʼojyin saʼ qabʼeen
Ut xsach raj qatuqtuukilal,
Yoʼonink toj kʼutkʼu saʼ qachʼool,
Naqanaw taanachʼoq qakolbʼal.
Inkʼaʼ nawiibʼan li qachʼool,
Ruxtaan li qaDios ak xqayal.
Ani taapleetinq re Sion
Taaʼosoʼq xbʼaan xnimal xwankilal.
3. Re taqanima lix chaabʼilal
Chi kutan ut chi qʼeq toobʼichanq,
Toosahoʼq xbʼaan lix chaabʼil esil;
Ut saʼ xsaqenkil toohilanq.
Chi ubʼej saʼ xbʼehil tzʼaqalil
Teʼbʼeeq li tiikebʼ xchʼool rajlal,
Ani bʼan tixtzʼeq li raatin
Lix sahil maajun wa chik teʼxyal.
