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.

²Nou chite aw, na vek un ja unla: aw lei leh a sunga om tengteng aw, ngaikhia un: TOUPA PATHIAN, TOUPA a biakin siangthou akipanin, nou hondemin na tung thu theipa hi heh.

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.

³Ngai dih ua. TOUPA a mun akipan in a hongpawta, a hongpai suk dinga, lei mun sangte a chil ngal sina.

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

⁴Mei kiang china khuainun bang leh mun kena tui kikhoh khia bang maiin, tangte a nuaiah a zul dinga, guamte a khang tat ding.

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.

⁵hiaite tengteng Jakobte tatlekna jiak leh Israel inkote khelhna jiak ahi. Jakobte tatlekna bang ahia oi? Samari ahi kei maw? Juda mun sangte bang ahia? Jerusalem ahi kei maw?

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?

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.

⁷A milim siam tawm tengteng sukkhap vek ahi dinga, a kijuakna mante meia hal mang ahi dinga, a milim tengteng ka hihgawp ding: kijuakna man ding in a la vek ngala, ki juakna man mahin a pang nawn ding uh.

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.

⁸Hiai jiakin ka kap dinga, ka mau vongvong dinga, kisuah leh vuaktangin ka om ding: sehalte bangin ka kihou dinga, vangawnsaute bang in ka thum ding hi.

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.

¹¹Aw Saphir mi, vaktang leh zum tak in pai mang in: Zaanan mi a hongpawt kei; Betezel kahna in nang a hon din tuh ding.

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.
