3 NephiChapter16

And verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister.

Truly I say to you that I have other sheep that are not of this land, nor of the land of Jerusalem, nor in any part of that surrounding land where I have gone to minister.

For they of whom I speak are they who have not as yet heard my voice; neither have I at any time manifested myself unto them.

The ones I am speaking of have not yet heard my voice, and I have never shown myself to them.

But I have received a commandment of the Father that I shall go unto them, and that they shall hear my voice, and shall be numbered among my sheep, that there may be one fold and one shepherd; therefore I go to show myself unto them.

But I have received a commandment from the Father that I am to go to them, and that they will hear my voice and be numbered among my sheep, so that there may be one fold and one shepherd. That is why I am going to show myself to them.

And I command you that ye shall write these sayings after I am gone, that if it so be that my people at Jerusalem, they who have seen me and been with me in my ministry, do not ask the Father in my name, that they may receive a knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost, and also of the other tribes whom they know not of, that these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shall be manifested unto the Gentiles, that through the fulness of the Gentiles, the remnant of their seed, who shall be scattered forth upon the face of the earth because of their unbelief, may be brought in, or may be brought to a knowledge of me, their Redeemer.

And I command you to write these sayings after I am gone, in case my people at Jerusalem, the ones who have seen me and have been with me in my ministry, do not ask the Father in my name that they may receive a knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost, and also of the other tribes they know nothing about. Then these sayings that you write will be kept, and will be made known to the Gentiles, so that through the fullness of the Gentiles the remnant of their posterity, who will be scattered across the face of the earth because of their unbelief, may be brought in, or brought to a knowledge of me, their Redeemer.

And then will I gather them in from the four quarters of the earth; and then will I fulfill the covenant which the Father hath made unto all the people of the house of Israel.

And then I will gather them in from the four quarters of the earth, and then I will fulfill the covenant that the Father has made with all the people of the house of Israel.

And blessed are the Gentiles, because of their belief in me, in and of the Holy Ghost, which witnesses unto them of me and of the Father.

And blessed are the Gentiles, because of their belief in me, in and through the Holy Ghost, which testifies to them of me and of the Father.

Behold, because of their belief in me, saith the Father, and because of the unbelief of you, O house of Israel, in the latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fulness of these things shall be made known unto them.

Because of their belief in me, says the Father, and because of your unbelief, O house of Israel, in the latter day the truth will come to the Gentiles, so that the fullness of these things will be made known to them.

But wo, saith the Father, unto the unbelieving of the Gentiles—for notwithstanding they have come forth upon the face of this land, and have scattered my people who are of the house of Israel; and my people who are of the house of Israel have been cast out from among them, and have been trodden under feet by them;

But woe to the unbelieving among the Gentiles, says the Father. For although they have come out upon the face of this land, they have scattered my people who are of the house of Israel. And my people who are of the house of Israel have been driven out from among them and trampled underfoot by them.

And because of the mercies of the Father unto the Gentiles, and also the judgments of the Father upon my people who are of the house of Israel, verily, verily, I say unto you, that after all this, and I have caused my people who are of the house of Israel to be smitten, and to be afflicted, and to be slain, and to be cast out from among them, and to become hated by them, and to become a hiss and a byword among them—

And because of the mercies of the Father toward the Gentiles, and also the judgments of the Father upon my people who are of the house of Israel, truly I say to you that after all this — after I have caused my people who are of the house of Israel to be struck down, and afflicted, and killed, and driven out from among them, and to become hated by them, and to become a hiss and a byword among them —

And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.

this is what the Father commands me to say to you: In that day, when the Gentiles sin against my gospel, and reject the fullness of my gospel, and are lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations and above all the people of the whole earth, and are filled with every kind of lying, and deceit, and mischief, and every kind of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and secret abominations — if they do all these things, and reject the fullness of my gospel, then, says the Father, I will take the fullness of my gospel away from them.

And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them.

And then I will remember my covenant that I have made with my people, O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel to them.

And I will show unto thee, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you; but I will remember my covenant unto you, O house of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fulness of my gospel.

And I will show you, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles will not have power over you. But I will remember my covenant with you, O house of Israel, and you will come to the knowledge of the fullness of my gospel.

But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.

But if the Gentiles will repent and return to me, says the Father, they will be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.

And I will not suffer my people, who are of the house of Israel, to go through among them, and tread them down, saith the Father.

And I will not allow my people, who are of the house of Israel, to go through among them and trample them down, says the Father.

But if they will not turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, I will suffer them, yea, I will suffer my people, O house of Israel, that they shall go through among them, and shall tread them down, and they shall be as salt that hath lost its savor, which is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of my people, O house of Israel.

But if they will not turn to me and listen to my voice, I will allow them, yes, I will allow my people, O house of Israel, to go through among them and trample them down. And they will be like salt that has lost its savor, which from then on is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by my people, O house of Israel.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, thus hath the Father commanded me—that I should give unto this people this land for their inheritance.

Truly I say to you, this is what the Father has commanded me: that I should give this people this land for their inheritance.

And then the words of the prophet Isaiah shall be fulfilled, which say:

And then the words of the prophet Isaiah will be fulfilled, which say:

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Your watchmen will lift up their voices;together they will sing,for they will see eye to eyewhen the Lord brings Zion again.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

Break forth into joy; sing together,you waste places of Jerusalem;for the Lord has comforted his people;he has redeemed Jerusalem.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eye of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.

The Lord has made bare his holy armin the eyes of all the nations,and all the ends of the earthwill see the salvation of God.
