Capítulo 23

18 versículos

Resumen

El rey de los lamanitas protege a los misioneros, lo que lleva a muchas conversiones; muchas ciudades lamanitas aceptan el evangelio, depongan sus armas y toman el nuevo nombre de Anti-Nefi-Lehitas.

El rey de los lamanitas envió una proclamación a todo su pueblo, diciéndoles que no hicieran daño a Ammón, Aarón, Omner, Himni ni a ninguno de sus hermanos que salieran a predicar la palabra de Dios, dondequiera que estuvieran en cualquier parte de su tierra.

Behold, now it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation among all his people, that they should not lay their hands on Ammon, or Aaron, or Omner, or Himni, nor either of their brethren who should go forth preaching the word of God, in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their land.

Él envió un decreto entre ellos para que no pusieran sus manos sobre ellos para atarlos ni para echarlos en prisión; que no les escupieran, ni los golpearan, ni los expulsaran de sus sinagogas, ni los azotaran; que no les arrojaran piedras, sino que más bien les permitieran libre acceso a sus casas, a sus templos y a sus santuarios.

Yea, he sent a decree among them, that they should not lay their hands on them to bind them, or to cast them into prison; neither should they spit upon them, nor smite them, nor cast them out of their synagogues, nor scourge them; neither should they cast stones at them, but that they should have free access to their houses, and also their temples, and their sanctuaries.

De esta manera, pudieron salir y predicar la palabra como deseaban, porque el rey y toda su casa se habían convertido al Señor. Él envió una proclamación por toda la tierra a su pueblo para que nada impidiera que la palabra de Dios se difundiera por todas partes. Quería que su pueblo se convenciera de las falsas tradiciones de sus antepasados, que comprendieran que todos eran hermanos y hermanas, y que no debían matar, robar, saquear, cometer adulterio ni hacer ninguna clase de maldad.

And thus they might go forth and preach the word according to their desires, for the king had been converted unto the Lord, and all his household; therefore he sent his proclamation throughout the land unto his people, that the word of God might have no obstruction, but that it might go forth throughout all the land, that his people might be convinced concerning the wicked traditions of their fathers, and that they might be convinced that they were all brethren, and that they ought not to murder, nor to plunder, nor to steal, nor to commit adultery, nor to commit any manner of wickedness.

Cuando el rey envió esta proclamación, Aarón y sus hermanos viajaron de ciudad en ciudad y de un lugar de adoración a otro, estableciendo iglesias y nombrando sacerdotes y maestros por toda la tierra entre los lamanitas, para predicar y enseñar la palabra de Dios entre ellos. De esta manera, empezaron a tener gran éxito.

And now it came to pass that when the king had sent forth this proclamation, that Aaron and his brethren went forth from city to city, and from one house of worship to another, establishing churches, and consecrating priests and teachers throughout the land among the Lamanites, to preach and to teach the word of God among them; and thus they began to have great success.

Y miles fueron llevados a conocer al Señor, y miles llegaron a creer en las tradiciones de los nefitas. Se les enseñaron los registros y las profecías que se habían transmitido hasta ese momento.

Tan cierto como que el Señor vive, todos los que creyeron o llegaron al conocimiento de la verdad por la predicación de Ammon y sus hermanos—según el espíritu de revelación y profecía, y el poder de Dios obrando milagros en ellos—todos los lamanitas que creyeron en su predicación y se convirtieron al Señor nunca se apartaron.

And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them—yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.
