¹The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

¹Li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Miqueas aj Moreset ut quixcßutbesi chiru cßaßru teßxcßul eb li tenamit Samaria ut Jerusalén. Aßin quicßulman saß eb li cutan nak queßcuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Jotam ut laj Acaz ut laj Ezequías.

²Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.

²Ut nak qui-oc chixyebal li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Dios laj Miqueas quixye chi joßcaßin: —Cherabihak chêjunilex lâex li cuanquex saß ruchichßochß. Cheqßuehak retal li naxye li Kâcuaß. Li nimajcual Dios tââtinak chak saß lix santil naßaj ut aßan tâyehok re nak cuan êmâc.

³For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

³Li Kâcuaß tâêlk chak saß lix santil naßaj ut tâchâlk chi rakoc âtin saß êbên ut tâbêk saß xbêneb li tzûl.

⁴And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

⁴Ut nak tâbêk saß xbêneb li tzûl, telajeßhaßokß li tzûl xban. Chanchan nak nahaßoß li cera xban li xam. Nak teßhaßokß li tzûl, teßhoyekß. Chanchanak li haß li na-el chak saß tzûl.

⁵For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

⁵Chixjunil aßin tâcßulmânk xban li mâc li yôqueb chixbânunquil laj Israel, li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob, ut xban nak queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chiru li Dios. ¿Ani cuan re nak queßxkßetkßeti ribeb laj Israel? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß li tenamit Samaria? Ut, ¿ani cuan re nak queßxlokßoni li yîbanbil dios aran Judá? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß li tenamit Jerusalén?

⁶Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.

⁶Joßcan nak quixye li Kâcuaß: —Lâin tinsach ru chixjunil li cßaßru cuan reheb laj Samaria ut tincanab li naßajej aßan chokß xnaßaj li acuîmk uvas. Tinjucß li tzßac li sutsu cuiß li tenamit joßqueb ajcuiß li rochocheb ut li pec li tâêlk saß li cimiento tincuteb saß takßa.

⁷And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

⁷Ut chixjunil lix yîbanbil dios tinpuqßuiheb. Ut tincßat chixjunil li qßuebil reheb li ixk aj yumbêt, li queßcßanjelac chiru lix dioseb. Tinsacheb ru chixjunileb lix yîbanbil dios.

⁸Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

⁸Ut quixye cuißchic laj Miqueas: —Cßajoß narahoß inchßôl xban li mâusilal yôqueb chixbânunquil laj Israel. Tinjap cue xban xrahil inchßôl ut tinyâbak.

⁹For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

Joßcan nak teßosokß ut teßosokß ajcuiß lin tenamit li cuanqueb Jerusalén. Mâcßaß xjalenquil. Châlc re li rakba âtin saß xbêneb chixjunileb.

¹⁰Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

¹¹Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.

¹²For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.

¹²Eb li cuanqueb aran Marot nequeßraj raj nak tâcotzk li raylal li yôqueb chixcßulbal. Abanan canabanbileb xban li Kâcuaß chixcßulbal li raylal ut châlc ajcuiß re saß xbêneb li cuanqueb Jerusalén.

¹³O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

¹³Lâex li cuanquex Laquis, qßuehomak lê cacuây li nequeßâlinac chi cau chixquelonquil li carruaje. Têyal êlelic re têcol êrib chiru li raylal châlc re saß êbên xban nak lâex quexcßamoc xbeheb laj Jerusalén chintzßektânanquil ut chixlokßoninquil jalanil dios joß queßxbânu laj Israel.

¹⁴Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
