1 Manje kwenteka kutsi ngesikhatsi Moroni sekatfole lencwadzi watfukutsela kakhulu, ngoba bekati kutsi Amoroni bekanelwati loluphelele ngenkhohliso yakhe; yebo, bekati kutsi Amoroni bekanelwati kutsi bekungasiso sizatfu lesilungile lebesimente wachuba imphi ngalokumelene nebantfu baNefi.

2 Watsi: Buka, ngeke ngishintjiselane ngetiboshwa na-Amoroni ngaphandle kwekutsi ahocise lenhloso yakhe, njengoba ngichazile encwadzini yami; ngoba ngeke ngivume kutsi abe nalamanye emandla ngetulu kwalawa lanawo.

3 Buka, ngiyayati indzawo lapho emaLamani agadza khona bantfu bami lababatsetse babenta tiboshwa; futsi njengoba Amoroni angatukungivumela ngekwencwadzi yami, buka, ngitawukwenta kuye njengekwemavi ami; yebo, ngitawufuna kufa emkhatsini wabo baze bacele lucolo.

4 Manje kwenteka kutsi ngesikhatsi Moroni sekawashito lamavi, wenta kutsi kwentiwe luphenyo emkhatsini wemadvodza akhe, kute mhlawumbe atfole indvodza lebeyisitukulwane saLamani emkhatsini wabo.

5 Futsi kwenteka kutsi bamtfola munye, libito lakhe lobekunguLamani; futsi bekangulomunye wetinceku tenkhosi lebeyibulewe ngu-Amalikhiya.

6 Manje Moroni wenta kutsi Lamani kanye nemadvodza akhe lamancane ngesibalo bahambe baye kubogadzi labebagadze emaNefi.

7 Manje emaNefi bekagadvwe edolobheni laseGidi; ngako-ke Moroni wabeka Lamani futsi wenta kutsi emadvodza lamancane ngesibalo ahambe naye.

8 Ngesikhatsi sekuhlwile Lamani waya kubogadzi labebagadze emaNefi, buka, bambona eta bambingelela, kodvwa watsi kubo: Ningesabi; bukani, ngingumLamani. Bukani, secile kumaNefi, futsi alele; bukani sitsetse liwayini labo seta nalo.

9 Manje ngesikhatsi emaLamani eva lamavi amemukela ngenjabulo; atsi kuye: Sinikeni liwayini lenu, kute sinatse; siyatfokota kutsi niphatse liwayini ngoba sikhatsele.

10 Kodvwa Lamani watsi kubo: Asiligcine lelinye liwayini letfu size siyawukulwa nemaNefi. Kodvwa lenkhulumo yabenta kutsi bafise kakhulu kulinatsa liwayini.

11 Ngoba, batsi: Sikhatsele, ngako-ke asilinatse leliwayini, futsi sekuyotsi emvakwesikhashana nje bese sesitfola sabelo seliwayini letfu, leselitawusicinisa kute siyawukulwa nemaNefi.

12 Lamani watsi kubo: Ningenta njengekwetifiso tenu.

13 Futsi kwenteka kutsi balinatsa liwayini ngekukhululeka; futsi belinambitseka kamnandzi, ngako-ke balinatsa ngekukhululeka lokukhulu; futsi belidzakisa, ngoba belilungiselwe kutsi libe nemandla.

14 Futsi kwenteka kutsi balinatsa batfokota, kwatsi emvakwesikhashana nje bese badzakwe bonkhe.

15 Manje ngesikhatsi Lamani kanye nebantfu bakhe babona kutsi bonkhe bese badzakiwe, futsi sebasebutfongweni lobujulile, babuyela kuMoroni bayomtjela tonkhe tintfo lebetentekile.

16 Manje loku kwenteka njengelicebo laMoroni. Futsi Moroni besekawalungiselele onkhe emadvodza akhe ngetikhali temphi; wahamba waya edolobheni iGidi, ngesikhatsi emaLamani asebutfongweni lobujulile futsi adzakiwe, wafike waphosa tikhali temphi etiboshweni, kangangekutsi tonkhe tahloma.

17 Yebo, ngisho nebesifazane babo, kanye nabo bonkhe bantfwana babo, ngebuningi balabo lebebangakwati kusebentisa tikhali temphi, ngesikhatsi Moroni ahlomisa tonkhe leto tiboshwa; tonkhe leto tintfo tentiwa ngekuthula lokukhulu.

18 Kodvwa kube bebawavusile emaLamani, buka bekadzakiwe futsi emaNefi bekangawabulala.

19 Kodvwa buka, loku bekungasiso sifiso saMoroni; bekangakujabuleli kubulala noma kucitsa ingati, kodvwa bekajabulela kusindzisa bantfu bakhe ekubhujisweni; futsi ngalesi sizatfu bekangeke aletse kuye kwehlulela ngalokungalungi, bekangeke awele etikwemaLamani awabulale adzakiwe.

20 Kodvwa besekatifezile tifiso takhe; ngoba besekatihlomisile leto tiboshwa temaNefi lebetingekhatsi kwetindvonga telidolobha, futsi besekatinike emandla ekutsatsa leto tincenye lebetingekhatsi kwetindvonga.

21 Emvakwaloko wenta kutsi lawo madvodza labekanawo ahlehle libangana kusuka kubo, bese atungeleta emabutfo emaLamani.

22 Manje buka loku kwenteka ngesikhatsi sasebusuku, kangangekutsi ngesikhatsi emaLamani avuka ekuseni abona kutsi besekatungeletwe ngemaNefi ngaphandle, futsi tiboshwa tawo bese tihlomile ngekhatsi.

23 Futsi ngaleyondlela abona kutsi emaNefi besekanemandla etikwawo; futsi kuletitimo atfola kutsi bekungasadzingeki kutsi alwe nemaNefi; ngako-ke tindvuna tawo letinkhulu tafuna tikhali tabo temphi, futsi tatiletsa phambili tatiphonsa phansi etinyaweni temaNefi, titicelela umusa.

24 Manje buka, loku bekusifiso saMoroni, wawatsatsa wawenta tiboshwa temphi, futsi walitsatsa lidolobha, wenta kutsi tonkhe tiboshwa tikhululwe, lebetingemaNefi; tahlangana nelibutfo laMoroni, futsi tafaka emandla lamakhulu ebutfweni lakhe.

25 Futsi kwenteka kutsi wenta kutsi emaLamani, labekawente tiboshwa, acale umsebenti wekucinisa tincaba etindzaweni tonkhe telidolobha iGidi.

26 Futsi kwenteka kutsi ngesikhatsi sekalicinisile lidolobha iGidi, njengekwetifiso takhe, wenta kutsi tiboshwa takhe titsatfwe tiyiswe edolobheni iNala; ngetulu kwaloko waligadza lelo dolobha ngelibutfo lelinemandla lamakhulu.

27 Futsi kwenteka kutsi, nanoma kungenca yemacebo onkhe angansense emaLamani, atigcina futsi ativikela tonkhe tiboshwa lebekatitsetse, ngetulu kwaloko awugcina wonkhe umhlaba kanye nekuzuza lebesebaphindze bakutsatsa.

28 Futsi kwenteka kutsi emaNefi acala kuncoba futsi, aphindze afuna emalungelo kanye netimfanelo tawo.

29 Tikhatsi letiningi emaLamani etama kubatungeleta ebusuku, kodvwa kulemetamo alahlekelwa tiboshwa letiningi.

30 Futsi sikhatsi lesiningi etama kuniketa lelinye lemawayini abo kumaNefi, kute bawabulale ngebutsi noma ngekuwadzakisa.

31 Kodvwa buka, emaNefi bekangaphuti kuyikhumbula iNkhosi Nkulunkulu wawo kulesi sikhatsi sawo senhlupheko. Bebangenawutifaka elugibeni; yebo, akalinatsanga liwayini lawo, ngaphandle kwekutsi balinikete kucala letinye tetiboshwa temaLamani.

32 Futsi ngaleyondlela bebacaphele kutsi kubebete butsi lobebungafakelwa bona; ngoba uma liwayini labo belingaba ngushevu kumLamani belingaba ngushevu futsi nakumNefi; futsi babuhlola ngaleyondlela bonkhe tjwala bawo.

33 Manje kwenteka kutsi kwaba nesidzingo sekutsi Moroni ente emalungiselelo ekuhlasela lidolobha iMoriyanthoni; ngoba buka, emaLamani, ngekwemisebenti yawo, besekalicinisile lidolobha iMoriyanthoni late laba yincaba lecine kakhulu.

34 Futsi bekachubeka nekuletsa emabutfo lamasha kulelo dolobha, futsi kanjalo nemiphako lemisha.

35 Waphela kanjalo ke umnyaka wemashumi lamabili nemfica wekubusa kwebehluleli kubantfu baNefi.
