Nephi begins the record of his people--Lehi sees in vision a pillar of fire and reads from a book of prophecy--he praises God, foretells the coming of the Messiah, and prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem--He is persecuted by the Jews.
UNefi uqala umbhalo wabantu bakubo - ULehi ubona esibonakalisweni insika yomlilo futhi ufunda encwadini yeziphrofetho - Udumisa uNkulunkulu, ubikezela ukuza kukaMesiya, futhi uphrofetha ngokubhujiswa kweJerusalema - Uzingelwa ngamaJuda.
