The Lord’s message which came to Micah of Morsheth in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The visions he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.

4 Molsang jouse akengto noija jolsoh ding, phaichama longluta, khoilu meiyin akah jolla, asuhlanga twi kisunglha bang ding ahi.
so that the mountains melt beneath like wax in the presence of the fire, and the valleys break apart like water poured down a steep descent.
5 Ipi-jeh'a hitobang thil sohham! Ajeh chu Israel galbol jeh le Juda insung pumpi chonset jeh ahi – a nampumpi chonset jeh ahi; Israel galbol hi koi pentah themmo kichansah ding ham? Samaria akhopiu! A milim doi hounau khopi lailung hoilai ham? Akhopiu Jerusalem ahi.
All this is because of the crime of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What was the crime of Jacob? Was it not Samaria? What is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?

“I will make Samaria a ruin in an open field, and a place where a vineyard is planted, I will hurl down her stones into the valley, and lay bare her foundations.
7 Khopi sunga milim doi kisem thuho jouse jong kavoh chip ding, alodoh agou jouse jong meiya kahal vamding, ajeh chu hiti ho jouse chu aboncha notiho mana kidong khoma kimu ahi.
“All her images will be shattered, and all her statues will be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay in ruins. For they were acquired by prostitution, and to prostitution they will return.”
8 Hijeh chun keiman lunghemin pul dou’inge. Kengchot se lou in keng keovin vahle ing’e. Sial bangin ham- ingting, chule sumbupi bangin lunghem- inge.
This is why I will mourn and wail, I will go barefoot and naked, I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the desert owl.
9 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin kamite abolsetna ma ha hi amelsebeh seh jeng tan, adamdohna ding ahahsabeh seh jenge, kamite Jerusalem kelkot phung ahung geitai.
For the blow that Samaria has received is incurable. It has spread over Judah, it extends even to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
