HelamanChapter14

And now it came to pass that Samuel, the Lamanite, did prophesy a great many more things which cannot be written.

Samuel the Lamanite prophesied many more things that cannot be written.

And behold, he said unto them: Behold, I give unto you a sign; for five years more cometh, and behold, then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.

And he said to them: I give you a sign: five more years, and then the Son of God will come to redeem all who believe in his name.

And behold, this will I give unto you for a sign at the time of his coming; for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven, insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day.

And this is what I will give you for a sign at the time of his coming: there will be great lights in heaven, so that on the night before he comes there will be no darkness. It will seem to people as if it were day.

Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day, as if it were one day and there were no night; and this shall be unto you for a sign; for ye shall know of the rising of the sun and also of its setting; therefore they shall know of a surety that there shall be two days and a night; nevertheless the night shall not be darkened; and it shall be the night before he is born.

So there will be one day and a night and a day, as if it were one day and there were no night. And this will be a sign to you, for you will see the sun rise and you will also see it set. So people will know for certain that there are two days and a night. Even so, the night will not be darkened. And it will be the night before he is born.

And behold, there shall a new star arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.

And a new star will rise, one such as you have never seen; and this also will be a sign to you.

And behold this is not all, there shall be many signs and wonders in heaven.

And this is not all: there will be many signs and wonders in heaven.

And it shall come to pass that ye shall all be amazed, and wonder, insomuch that ye shall fall to the earth.

And you will all be amazed and filled with wonder, so much so that you will fall to the ground.

And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall believe on the Son of God, the same shall have everlasting life.

And everyone who believes in the Son of God will have everlasting life.

And behold, thus hath the Lord commanded me, by his angel, that I should come and tell this thing unto you; yea, he hath commanded that I should prophesy these things unto you; yea, he hath said unto me: Cry unto this people, repent and prepare the way of the Lord.

This is what the Lord has commanded me through his angel: that I should come and tell you this. He has commanded me to prophesy these things to you. He has said to me, "Cry out to this people: Repent, and prepare the way of the Lord."

And now, because I am a Lamanite, and have spoken unto you the words which the Lord hath commanded me, and because it was hard against you, ye are angry with me and do seek to destroy me, and have cast me out from among you.

And now, because I am a Lamanite, and have spoken to you the words the Lord commanded me, and because they were hard against you, you are angry with me and try to destroy me, and you have driven me out from among you.

And ye shall hear my words, for, for this intent have I come up upon the walls of this city, that ye might hear and know of the judgments of God which do await you because of your iniquities, and also that ye might know the conditions of repentance;

And you will hear my words, because this is why I have come up on the walls of this city: so that you might hear and know about the judgments of God that await you because of your sins, and also that you might know the conditions of repentance,

And also that ye might know of the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and that ye might know of the signs of his coming, to the intent that ye might believe on his name.

and also that you might know about the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and that you might know the signs of his coming, so that you might believe in his name.

And if ye believe on his name ye will repent of all your sins, that thereby ye may have a remission of them through his merits.

And if you believe in his name, you will repent of all your sins, so that through his merits you may receive forgiveness of them.

And behold, again, another sign I give unto you, yea, a sign of his death.

And again, I give you another sign: a sign of his death.

For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord.

He must surely die so that salvation may come. It is right and necessary for him to die, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, so that people may be brought into the presence of the Lord.

Yea, behold, this death bringeth to pass the resurrection, and redeemeth all mankind from the first death—that spiritual death; for all mankind, by the fall of Adam being cut off from the presence of the Lord, are considered as dead, both as to things temporal and to things spiritual.

This death brings to pass the resurrection and redeems all people from the first death, that spiritual death. For all people, being cut off from the presence of the Lord by the fall of Adam, are counted as dead, both as to things temporal and as to things spiritual.

But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind, yea, even all mankind, and bringeth them back into the presence of the Lord.

But the resurrection of Christ redeems people, yes, all people, and brings them back into the presence of the Lord.

Yea, and it bringeth to pass the condition of repentance, that whosoever repenteth the same is not hewn down and cast into the fire; but whosoever repenteth not is hewn down and cast into the fire; and there cometh upon them again a spiritual death, yea, a second death, for they are cut off again as to things pertaining to righteousness.

And it brings to pass the condition of repentance: whoever repents is not cut down and thrown into the fire, but whoever does not repent is cut down and thrown into the fire. And a spiritual death comes upon them again, a second death, for they are cut off again from the things that pertain to righteousness.

Therefore repent ye, repent ye, lest by knowing these things and not doing them ye shall suffer yourselves to come under condemnation, and ye are brought down unto this second death.

So repent, repent! Otherwise, by knowing these things and not doing them, you will let yourselves come under condemnation, and you will be brought down to this second death.

But behold, as I said unto you concerning another sign, a sign of his death, behold, in that day that he shall suffer death the sun shall be darkened and refuse to give his light unto you; and also the moon and the stars; and there shall be no light upon the face of this land, even from the time that he shall suffer death, for the space of three days, to the time that he shall rise again from the dead.

But as I told you about another sign, a sign of his death: on the day that he suffers death, the sun will be darkened and will refuse to give its light to you, and so will the moon and the stars. And there will be no light on the face of this land for the space of three days, from the time that he suffers death until the time that he rises again from the dead.

Yea, at the time that he shall yield up the ghost there shall be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours, and the earth shall shake and tremble; and the rocks which are upon the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and beneath, which ye know at this time are solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;

At the time when he breathes his last, there will be thunder and lightning for many hours, and the earth will shake and tremble. And the rocks on the face of this earth, both above the ground and beneath it, which you know at this time are solid, or mostly one solid mass, will be broken up.

Yea, they shall be rent in twain, and shall ever after be found in seams and in cracks, and in broken fragments upon the face of the whole earth, yea, both above the earth and beneath.

They will be torn in two, and ever after they will be found in seams and in cracks and in broken fragments over the face of the whole earth, both above the ground and beneath it.

And behold, there shall be great tempests, and there shall be many mountains laid low, like unto a valley, and there shall be many places which are now called valleys which shall become mountains, whose height is great.

And there will be violent storms, and many mountains will be laid low, like a valley; and many places that are now called valleys will become mountains of towering height.

And many highways shall be broken up, and many cities shall become desolate.

And many highways will be broken up, and many cities will be left desolate.

And many graves shall be opened, and shall yield up many of their dead; and many saints shall appear unto many.

And many graves will be opened and will give up many of their dead; and many saints will appear to many people.

And behold, thus hath the angel spoken unto me; for he said unto me that there should be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours.

This is what the angel spoke to me. He told me that there would be thunder and lightning for many hours.

And he said unto me that while the thunder and the lightning lasted, and the tempest, that these things should be, and that darkness should cover the face of the whole earth for the space of three days.

And he told me that while the thunder and the lightning and the storm lasted, these things would happen, and that darkness would cover the face of the whole earth for three days.

And the angel said unto me that many shall see greater things than these, to the intent that they might believe that these signs and these wonders should come to pass upon all the face of this land, to the intent that there should be no cause for unbelief among the children of men—

And the angel told me that many will see greater things than these, so that they might believe that these signs and these wonders would come to pass over all the face of this land, so that there might be no reason for unbelief among the people.

And this to the intent that whosoever will believe might be saved, and that whosoever will not believe, a righteous judgment might come upon them; and also if they are condemned they bring upon themselves their own condemnation.

And this is so that whoever will believe might be saved, and so that on whoever will not believe, a righteous judgment might come. And also, if they are condemned, they bring their own condemnation upon themselves.

And now remember, remember, my brethren, that whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; and whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; for behold, ye are free; ye are permitted to act for yourselves; for behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free.

And now remember, remember, my brothers, that whoever is lost is lost to himself, and whoever does evil does it to himself. You are free; you are permitted to act for yourselves. For God has given you knowledge, and he has made you free.

He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you.

He has given you the ability to know good from evil, and he has given you the ability to choose life or death. And you can do good and be restored to what is good, or have what is good restored to you; or you can do evil, and have what is evil restored to you.
