Maak’a’eb’ xtumin ut xk’anjeleb’aal. Sa’eb’ li loq’laj hu, li Dios kixk’ut chiruheb’ chan ru naq te’tzoloq:

“Ut rikʼin naq moko chixjunilebʼ ta wankebʼ xpaabʼaal, chexsikʼoq chi yalbʼil eeqʼe ut kʼutumaq cheribʼil eeribʼ li aatin re chaabʼil naʼlebʼ; relik chi yaal, sikʼomaq chaq saʼebʼ li hu qʼaxal chaabʼil li aatin re chaabʼil naʼlebʼ; chesikʼ xkʼulbʼal eenawom, rikʼin li tzolok ut rikʼin ajwiʼ li paabʼaal” (Tzolʼlebʼ ut Sumwank 88:118).

Li Dios naxk’ut naq tento taqataw li qanawom rik’in li tzolok, ut rik’in ajwi’ li paab’aal. Naqayal qaq’e chi anchal qach’ool, ut naqapatz’ re li Dios naq tixtaqla chaq lix Musiq’ re xteeb’al qak’a’uxl ut li qach’ool re tzolok.
