፩ እንግዲህ እኛም በምዝገባችን ወደ አማሊቅያና ከእርሱ ጋር ወደ ምድረበዳው ሀስለሸሹት እንመለስ፤ እነሆም፣ ከእርሱ ጋር የሄዱትን ይዞ ሄደ፣ እናም ወደ ለኔፊ ምድር በላማናውያን መካከል ሄደ፣ እናም የላማናውያን ንጉስ ከኔፋውያን ጋር በድጋሚ እንዲዋጉ እራሳቸውን በአንድ ላይ እንዲሰበስቡ አዋጁን በምድሪቱ ላይ እስከሚልክ ድረስ ላማናውያንን በኔፊ ህዝብ ላይ ለቁጣ እንዲነሳሱ አደረገ።
1 NOW we will return in our record to Amalickiah and those who had fled with him into the wilderness; for, behold, he had taken those who went with him, and went up in the land of Nephi among the Lamanites, and did stir up the Lamanites to anger against the people of Nephi, insomuch that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation throughout all his land, among all his people, that they should gather themselves together again to go to battle against the Nephites.
