AlmaChapter25

And behold, now it came to pass that those Lamanites were more angry because they had slain their brethren; therefore they swore vengeance upon the Nephites; and they did no more attempt to slay the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi at that time.

Now those Lamanites were angrier than ever, because they had killed their own brothers. So they swore vengeance on the Nephites; but for the time being they gave up trying to kill the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

But they took their armies and went over into the borders of the land of Zarahemla, and fell upon the people who were in the land of Ammonihah, and destroyed them.

Instead they took their armies over into the borders of the land of Zarahemla, attacked the people in the land of Ammonihah, and destroyed them.

And after that, they had many battles with the Nephites, in the which they were driven and slain.

After that they fought many battles with the Nephites, and in those battles they were driven back and killed.

And among the Lamanites who were slain were almost all the seed of Amulon and his brethren, who were the priests of Noah, and they were slain by the hands of the Nephites;

Among the Lamanites who were killed were almost all the descendants of Amulon and his brothers, the priests of Noah, and they were killed at the hands of the Nephites.

And the remainder, having fled into the east wilderness, and having usurped the power and authority over the Lamanites, caused that many of the Lamanites should perish by fire because of their belief—

The rest of them fled into the east wilderness, and there they seized power and authority over the Lamanites and put many of the Lamanites to death by fire because of their belief.

For many of them, after having suffered much loss and so many afflictions, began to be stirred up in remembrance of the words which Aaron and his brethren had preached to them in their land; therefore they began to disbelieve the traditions of their fathers, and to believe in the Lord, and that he gave great power unto the Nephites; and thus there were many of them converted in the wilderness.

Here is why: many of them, after suffering so much loss and so many hardships, began to remember the words that Aaron and his brothers had preached to them in their land. They began to disbelieve the traditions of their fathers and to believe in the Lord, and to believe that he was the one who gave the Nephites their great power. And so many of them were converted in the wilderness.

And it came to pass that those rulers who were the remnant of the children of Amulon caused that they should be put to death, yea, all those that believed in these things.

Then the rulers, the remaining descendants of Amulon, had everyone who believed these things put to death.

Now this martyrdom caused that many of their brethren should be stirred up to anger; and there began to be contention in the wilderness; and the Lamanites began to hunt the seed of Amulon and his brethren and began to slay them; and they fled into the east wilderness.

This martyrdom stirred many of their brothers to anger, and conflict broke out in the wilderness. The Lamanites began to hunt down the descendants of Amulon and his brothers and to kill them, and they fled into the east wilderness.

And behold they are hunted at this day by the Lamanites. Thus the words of Abinadi were brought to pass, which he said concerning the seed of the priests who caused that he should suffer death by fire.

To this day they are hunted by the Lamanites. And so the words of Abinadi came true, the words he spoke about the descendants of the priests who had him put to death by fire.

For he said unto them: What ye shall do unto me shall be a type of things to come.

He had told them, "What you do to me will be a type of things to come."

And now Abinadi was the first that suffered death by fire because of his belief in God; now this is what he meant, that many should suffer death by fire, according as he had suffered.

Now Abinadi was the first to suffer death by fire because of his belief in God, and this is what he meant: that many would suffer death by fire, just as he had.

And he said unto the priests of Noah that their seed should cause many to be put to death, in the like manner as he was, and that they should be scattered abroad and slain, even as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts; and now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites, and they were hunted, and they were smitten.

He also told the priests of Noah that their descendants would cause many to be put to death in the same way he was, and that they would be scattered and killed, like a sheep without a shepherd that is driven and killed by wild beasts. And those words were fulfilled: they were driven by the Lamanites, and they were hunted, and they were struck down.

And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that they could not overpower the Nephites they returned again to their own land; and many of them came over to dwell in the land of Ishmael and the land of Nephi, and did join themselves to the people of God, who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

When the Lamanites saw that they could not overpower the Nephites, they returned to their own land. Many of them came over to live in the land of Ishmael and the land of Nephi, and they joined the people of God, the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

And they did also bury their weapons of war, according as their brethren had, and they began to be a righteous people; and they did walk in the ways of the Lord, and did observe to keep his commandments and his statutes.

They too buried their weapons of war, as their brothers had done, and they became a righteous people. They walked in the ways of the Lord and were careful to keep his commandments and his statutes.

Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.

They kept the law of Moses, because it was still necessary then; it had not yet all been fulfilled. But even with the law of Moses, they looked forward to the coming of Christ. They understood that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and they believed they must keep those outward observances until the time he would be revealed to them.

Now they did not suppose that salvation came by the law of Moses; but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ; and thus they did retain a hope through faith, unto eternal salvation, relying upon the spirit of prophecy, which spake of those things to come.

Now, they did not think that salvation came by the law of Moses. But the law of Moses served to strengthen their faith in Christ, and so, through faith, they held on to a hope of eternal salvation, relying on the spirit of prophecy, which spoke of things to come.

And now behold, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni, and their brethren did rejoice exceedingly, for the success which they had had among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted unto them according to their prayers, and that he had also verified his word unto them in every particular.

And now Ammon, Aaron, Omner, Himni, and their brothers rejoiced greatly over the success they had had among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted them what they prayed for and had fulfilled his word to them in every detail.
