拉曼人在一場激烈的戰役中敗北──數萬人喪生──惡人要被交到無盡悲慘的狀態中；義人則得到無窮的幸福。約主前七七年至七六年。

The Lamanites are defeated in a tremendous battle—Tens of thousands are slain—The wicked are consigned to a state of endless woe; the righteous attain a never-ending happiness. About 77–76 B.C.

1 事情是這樣的，艾蒙人定居^ａ裘勛地，又在裘勛地建立了一個教會；尼腓軍隊在裘勛地四周設防，是的，在柴雷罕拉地四周的邊境設防；看啊，拉曼軍隊已尾隨他們的弟兄進了曠野。

1 And now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the land of ^aJershon, and a church also established in the land of Jershon, and the armies of the Nephites were set round about the land of Jershon, yea, in all the borders round about the land of Zarahemla; behold the armies of the Lamanites had followed their brethren into the wilderness.

2 於是，發生了一場激烈的戰役；是的，如此激烈的戰役，是李海離開耶路撒冷以來，此地所有的人民都聞所未聞的；是的，數萬名拉曼人不是被殺就是被驅散。

2 And thus there was a tremendous battle; yea, even such an one as never had been known among all the people in the land from the time Lehi left Jerusalem; yea, and tens of thousands of the Lamanites were slain and scattered abroad.

3 是的，尼腓人也遭到嚴重的屠殺，然而拉曼人被^ａ趕走並被驅散，尼腓人則再回到自己的土地上。

3 Yea, and also there was a tremendous slaughter among the people of Nephi; nevertheless, the Lamanites were ^adriven and scattered, and the people of Nephi returned again to their land.

4 這是一個到處可聽到尼腓人哀悼與慟哭之聲的時刻──

4 And now this was a time that there was a great ^amourning and lamentation heard throughout all the land, among all the people of Nephi—

5 是的，寡婦哭悼丈夫，父親傷悼兒子，女兒悲悼兄弟，是的，兄弟哀悼父親；他們哀悼被殺的親人，慟哭之聲處處可聞。

5 Yea, the cry of ^awidows mourning for their husbands, and also of fathers mourning for their sons, and the daughter for the brother, yea, the brother for the father; and thus the cry of mourning was heard among all of them, mourning for their kindred who had been slain.

6 這的確是個憂傷的日子，是的，是個莊嚴的時刻，也是許多^ａ禁食與祈禱的時刻。

6 And now surely this was a sorrowful day; yea, a time of solemnity, and a time of much ^afasting and prayer.

7 法官統治尼腓人的第十五年就這樣結束了；

7 And thus endeth the fifteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi;

8 這就是艾蒙和他的弟兄的經歷，他們在尼腓地的旅程，他們在那地的苦難，他們的憂傷，他們的痛苦和^ａ旁人無法領會的快樂，他們的弟兄在裘勛地受到的接待和享有的安全。但願主，全人類的救贖主，永遠祝福他們的靈魂。

8 And ^athis is the account of Ammon and his brethren, their journeyings in the land of Nephi, their sufferings in the land, their sorrows, and their afflictions, and their ^bincomprehensiblejoy, and the reception and safety of the brethren in the land of Jershon. And now may the Lord, the Redeemer of all men, bless their souls forever.

9 這是尼腓人之間戰爭與紛爭的記事，也是尼腓人與拉曼人戰爭的記事；法官統治的第十五年也結束了。

9 And this is the account of the wars and contentions among the Nephites, and also the wars between the Nephites and the Lamanites; and the fifteenth year of the reign of the judges is ended.

10 第一年到第十五年之間，有成千上萬人喪失了性命；是的，發生了一幕可怕的流血景象。

10 And from the ^afirst year to the fifteenth has brought to pass the destruction of many thousand lives; yea, it has brought to pass an awful scene of bloodshed.

11 成千上萬人的屍體深埋土裡，也有成千上萬人的屍體在地面上成堆^ａ腐爛；是的，成千上萬人因痛失親人而^ｂ哀悼，他們有理由害怕，因為按照主的應許，他們的親人要被交到無盡禍患的狀態中。

11 And the bodies of many thousands are laid low in the earth, while the bodies of many thousands are ^amoldering in heaps upon the face of the earth; yea, and many thousands are^bmourning for the loss of their kindred, because they have reason to fear, according to the promises of the Lord, that they are consigned to a state of endless wo.

12 另有成千上萬人確實也因痛失親人而哀悼，但是他們也在希望中歡欣鼓舞，他們知道，按照主的^ａ應許，他們的親人將復活住在神的右邊，在無窮幸福的狀態中。

12 While many thousands of others truly ^amourn for the loss of their kindred, yet they rejoice and exult in the hope, and even know, according to the ^bpromises of the Lord, that they are raised to dwell at the right hand of God, in a state of never-ending^chappiness.

13 由此可知，罪惡過犯，以及魔鬼為捕捉人心所設的詭^ａ計而使出的力量，會造成世人多麼大的^ｂ不平等。

13 And thus we see how great the ^ainequality of man is because of sin and ^btransgression, and the power of the devil, which comes by the cunning ^cplans which he hath devised to ensnare the hearts of men.

14 由此可知那叫世人在^ａ主的葡萄園中努力工作的偉大召喚；也由此可知那悲傷與快樂的主要原因──那悲傷是因人的死亡與毀滅而來的，那快樂是因帶來生命的^ｂ基督之光而來的。

14 And thus we see the great call of ^adiligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing—sorrow because of death and destruction among men, and joy because of the ^blight of Christ unto life.
