1 My beloved son, I write unto you again that ye may know that I am yet alive; but I write somewhat of that which is grievous.
1 Depois que essas coisas foram feitas, os líderes judeus vieram e me disseram: “Muitos israelitas, e até mesmo alguns sacerdotes e levitas, não se mantiveram separados dos outros povos que habitam nesta terra. Adotaram as práticas detestáveis dos cananeus, dos hititas, dos ferezeus, dos jebuseus, dos amonitas, dos moabitas, dos egípcios e dos amorreus.
2 For behold, I have had a sore battle with the Lamanites, in which we did not conquer; and Archeantus has fallen by the sword, and also Luram and Emron; yea, and we have lost a great number of our choice men.
2 Os homens de Israel se casaram com mulheres desses povos e as tomaram como esposas para seus filhos. A descendência santa se contaminou por meio desses casamentos mistos. E, pior ainda, os líderes e os oficiais foram os primeiros a cometer essa infidelidade”.
3 And now behold, my son, I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people; for they do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to anger one with another.
3 Quando ouvi isso, rasguei minha túnica e meu manto, arranquei cabelos da cabeça e da barba e me sentei, absolutamente pasmo.
4 Behold, I am laboring with them continually; and when I speak the word of God with sharpness they tremble and anger against me; and when I use no sharpness they harden their hearts against it; wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them.
4 Então todos que tremiam diante das palavras do Deus de Israel vieram e sentaram-se comigo por causa dessa infidelidade cometida pelos exilados que haviam regressado. E fiquei sentado ali, atônito, até o sacrifício da tarde.
5 For so exceedingly do they anger that it seemeth me that they have no fear of death; and they have lost their love, one towards another; and they thirst after blood and revenge continually.
5 Na hora do sacrifício, levantei-me de onde havia sentado em lamentação, com as roupas rasgadas. Caí de joelhos, ergui as mãos ao S enhor , meu Deus,
6 And now, my beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God.
6 e orei: “Ó meu Deus, estou profundamente humilhado e tenho vergonha de levantar meu rosto para ti. Pois nossos pecados se elevam acima de nossa cabeça, e nossa culpa chegou até os céus.
7 And now I write somewhat concerning the sufferings of this people. For according to the knowledge which I have received from Amoron, behold, the Lamanites have many prisoners, which they took from the tower of Sherrizah; and there were men, women, and children.
7 Desde os dias de nossos antepassados até agora, temos vivido cheios de pecado. Por isso, nós, nossos reis e nossos sacerdotes fomos entregues nas mãos dos reis da terra. Fomos mortos, capturados, roubados e desprezados, como acontece hoje.
8 And the husbands and fathers of those women and children they have slain; and they feed the women upon the flesh of their husbands, and the children upon the flesh of their fathers; and no water, save a little, do they give unto them.
8 “Agora, porém, a graça do S enhor , nosso Deus, nos foi concedida por um breve momento. Ele permitiu que alguns de nós sobrevivêssemos como um remanescente e nos deu segurança neste lugar santo. Nosso Deus iluminou nossos olhos e nos concedeu um pouco de alívio de nossa escravidão.
9 And notwithstanding this great abomination of the Lamanites, it doth not exceed that of our people in Moriantum. For behold, many of the daughters of the Lamanites have they taken prisoners; and after depriving them of that which was most dear and precious above all things, which is chastity and virtue-
9 Éramos escravos, mas, em seu amor leal, nosso Deus não nos abandonou na escravidão. Em vez disso, fez os reis da Pérsia nos tratarem com bondade. Ele renovou nossas forças, para que reconstruíssemos o templo de nosso Deus e restaurássemos suas ruínas. Deu-nos um muro de proteção em Judá e em Jerusalém.
10 And after they had done this thing, they did murder them in a most cruel manner, torturing their bodies even unto death; and after they have done this, they devour their flesh like unto wild beasts, because of the hardness of their hearts; and they do it for a token of bravery.
10 “Agora, ó nosso Deus, o que podemos dizer depois de tudo isso? Pois, mais uma vez, abandonamos teus mandamentos!
11 O my beloved son, how can a people like this, that are without civilization-
11 Tu nos advertiste por meio de teus servos, os profetas, quando eles disseram: ‘A terra em que estão entrando está inteiramente contaminada pelas práticas detestáveis dos povos que nela habitam. Está cheia de corrupção, de uma extremidade à outra.
12 (And only a few years have passed away, and they were a civil and a delightsome people)
12 Não permitam que suas filhas se casem com os filhos deles, nem tomem as filhas deles como esposas para seus filhos. Jamais promovam a paz e a prosperidade dessas nações. Se seguirem essas instruções, serão fortes, desfrutarão das coisas boas que a terra produz e deixarão essa prosperidade como herança para seus filhos para sempre’.
13 But O my son, how can a people like this, whose delight is in so much abomination-
13 “Tudo que nos aconteceu é castigo de nossa maldade e de nossa grande culpa. Ainda assim, recebemos um castigo muito menor do que merecíamos, pois tu, nosso Deus, permitiste que alguns de nós sobrevivêssemos como um remanescente.
14 How can we expect that God will stay his hand in judgment against us?
14 E, no entanto, quebramos teus mandamentos outra vez e nos casamos com pessoas que praticam essas coisas detestáveis. Acaso tua ira não será suficiente para nos destruir, a ponto de não sobreviver nem mesmo este pequeno remanescente?
15 Behold, my heart cries: Wo unto this people. Come out in judgment, O God, and hide their sins, and wickedness, and abominations from before thy face!
15 Ó S enhor , Deus de Israel, tu és justo. Aqui estamos diante de ti com nossa culpa, um mero remanescente que escapou, embora, por sermos culpados, nenhum de nós tenha o direito de estar em tua presença”.
16 And again, my son, there are many widows and their daughters who remain in Sherrizah; and that part of the provisions which the Lamanites did not carry away, behold, the army of Zenephi has carried away, and left them to wander whithersoever they can for food; and many old women do faint by the way and die.
16 — ausente —
17 And the army which is with me is weak; and the armies of the Lamanites are betwixt Sherrizah and me; and as many as have fled to the army of Aaron have fallen victims to their awful brutality.
17 — ausente —
18 O the depravity of my people! They are without order and without mercy. Behold, I am but a man, and I have but the strength of a man, and I cannot any longer enforce my commands.
18 — ausente —
19 And they have become strong in their perversion; and they are alike brutal, sparing none, neither old nor young; and they delight in everything save that which is good; and the suffering of our women and our children upon all the face of this land doth exceed everything; yea, tongue cannot tell, neither can it be written.
19 — ausente —
20 And now, my son, I dwell no longer upon this horrible scene. Behold, thou knowest the wickedness of this people; thou knowest that they are without principle, and past feeling; and their wickedness doth exceed that of the Lamanites.
20 — ausente —
21 Behold, my son, I cannot recommend them unto God lest he should smite me.
21 — ausente —
22 But behold, my son, I recommend thee unto God, and I trust in Christ that thou wilt be saved; and I pray unto God that he will spare thy life, to witness the return of his people unto him, or their utter destruction; for I know that they must perish except they repent and return unto him.
22 — ausente —
23 And if they perish it will be like unto the Jaredites, because of the wilfulness of their hearts, seeking for blood and revenge.
23 — ausente —
24 And if it so be that they perish, we know that many of our brethren have deserted over unto the Lamanites, and many more will also desert over unto them; wherefore, write somewhat a few things, if thou art spared and I shall perish and not see thee; but I trust that I may see thee soon; for I have sacred records that I would deliver up unto thee.
24 — ausente —
25 My son, be faithful in Christ; and may not the things which I have written grieve thee, to weigh thee down unto death; but may Christ lift thee up, and may his sufferings and death, and the showing his body unto our fathers, and his mercy and long-suffering, and the hope of his glory and of eternal life, rest in your mind forever.
25 — ausente —
26 And may the grace of God the Father, whose throne is high in the heavens, and our Lord Jesus Christ, who sitteth on the right hand of his power, until all things shall become subject unto him, be, and abide with you forever. Amen.
26 — ausente —
