3 Nephi 1: Nephi, the son of Helaman, departs out of the land, and his son Nephi keeps the records - Though signs and wonders abound, the wicked plan to slay the righteous - The night of Christ's birth arrives - The sign is given, and a new star arises - Lyings and deceivings increase, and the Gadianton robbers slaughter many.
UNefi, indodana kaHelamani, iyemuka ezweni, futhi indodana yakhe uNefi igcina imibhalo - Nakuba izibonakaliso kanye nezimangaliso zivama, ababi bahlela ukubulala abalungileyo - Ubusuku bokuzalwa kukaKristu buyafika - Isibonakaliso siyanikwa, futhi inkanyezi entsha iyavela - Amanga kanye nenkohliso kuyanda, futhi abaphangi baGadiyantoni babulala abaningi.
