The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Taminaw pueng thai awh haw, khocaramcanaw thai awh haw, Bawipa Jehovah kathounge bawkim hoi BAWIPA teh nangmouh na kapanuekkhaikung lah ao han.
Hear, ye peoples, all of you. Hearken, O earth, and all who are in it, and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 BAWIPA teh a onae hmuen koehoi a tâco a kum vaiteh, karasangnaw hah a coungroe han.
For, behold, Jehovah comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Hmai ni khoilai a daw teh atui lah a lawng e patetlah ravopui dawk hoi kalawng e tui patetlah ka hmalah monnaw ni a kamyawt awh han, ayawnnaw hai a kâraue han.
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be split, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Hete hnonaw pueng heh Jakop lawk eknae kecu dawk hoi Isarel imthungnaw a yon awh dawk doeh. Jakop lawk eknae bangne, Samaria nahoehmaw. Judah hmuen karasangpoung e nâne ao. Jerusalem nahoehmaw.
All this is for the transgression of Jacob, 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?
6 Hatdawkvah, Samaria khopui teh laikawk dawk e talai pâpawp e patetlah ka o sak han, Misur takha patetlah ka o sak han. Rapan talungnaw ayawn dawk ka rabawk han. Rapan adu hah kamnue sak han.
Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards. And I will pour down the stones of it into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations of it.

And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces. And all her wages shall be burned with fire, and I will lay desolate all her idols. For she has gathered them from the wages of a harlot, and to the wage of a harlot they shall return.
8 Hote kong dawk kai teh ka khui ka ka han. Caici lahoi ka cei ka o han. Kahrawnguinaw patetlah ka hram teh, Kalauk tava patetlah ka cai han.
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.
9 A hmâ teh dam thai hoeh, Judah ram totouh a kâkai awh vaiteh, ka miphun a onae hmuen Jerusalem khopui longkha totouh a pha toe.
For her wounds are incurable. For it has come even to Judah. it reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Gath khopui dawk thaisak awh hanh, khoeroe kap awh hanh. Bet Aphrah vah vaiphu dawk kamlet awh.
Tell it not in Gath. Weep not at all. I have rolled myself in the dust at Beth-le-aphrah.
11 Oe Saphir taminaw caici lah cet awh, Zaanan taminaw khuika laihoi tâcawt awh hanh. Bethezel khopui dawk na roe awh nahane kâ na poe awh mahoeh.
Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not come forth. The wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it.
12 Maroth tami ni hai hnokahawi a doun teh a ring eiteh Cathut koehoi e rucatnae lah Jerusalem longkha totouh a pha toe.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Oe, Lakhish canu karang poung e marang dawk rangleng hah thueng haw, nang ni Isarelnaw e yonnae hah na kamtu awh teh Zion canunaw hah na yon sak awh.
Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Hatdawkvah, Gath ram Moreseth koe poehno na poe han. Akhazib khocanaw ni Isarel siangpahrangnaw hah a dumyen awh han.
Therefore thou shall give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath. The houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Oe, Mareshah kho kaawm e taminaw râw ka coe hane tami kai ni kakaw vaiteh, Isarel bawilennae Adullam kho dawk a pha han.
I will yet bring to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess thee. The glory of Israel shall come even to Adullam.
16 Ngai kaawm e canu capanaw teh san lah na man awh toung dawk, lû luengpalueng lah ngaw awh. Langta patetlah luengpalueng lah awm awh.
Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the sons of thy delight. Enlarge thy baldness as the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from thee.
