፩ እናም አሁን፣ እንዲህ ሆነ በኔፊ ህዝብ ላይ በመሣፍንቱ ሀያ ስድስተኛ የንግስ ዘመን፣ እነሆ፣ በመጀመሪያው ወር በጠዋት ላማናውያን ሲነቁ፣ እነሆ፣ አማሊቅያ በራሱ ድንኳን ውስጥ ሞቶ አገኙት፤ እናም ደግሞ በዚያን ቀን ቴአንኩም ከእነርሱ ጋር ለመዋጋት ዝግጁ መሆኑን ተመለከቱ።
1 AND now, it came to pass in the twenty and sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, behold, when the Lamanites awoke on the first morning of the first month, behold, they found Amalickiah was dead in his own tent; and they also saw that Teancum was ready to give them battle on that day.
