Ang Pag-unti at Pagbagsak ng Mga Nephita

Mga Karagdagang Pag-atake ng mga Lamanita at mga Kalagiman

Mormon 4:6–9

Sa ika-54 na gulang ni Mormon, ang mga Lamanita ay sumalakay sa lunsod ng Tiankum, subalit nagawa ng mga Nephita na panatilihin ang kanilang tindig, at lumusob sa mga Lamanita, maging sa mabawi ang Kapanglawan.

And it came to pass that the Lamanites did make preparations to come against the city Teancum. And it came to pass in the three hundred and sixty and fourth year the Lamanites did come against the city Teancum, that they might take possession of the city Teancum also. And it came to pass that they were repulsed and driven back by the Nephites.

And when the Nephites saw that they had driven the Lamanites they did again boast of their own strength; and they went forth in their own might, and took possession again of the city Desolation. And now all these things had been done, and there had been thousands slain on both sides, both the Nephites and the Lamanites.

Mormon 4:10–12

Dalawang taon pagkatapos, ang mga Lamanita ay muling sumalakay sa mga Nephita, at isang hindi maisasalarawang kakila-kilabot na labanan ang sumunod, sa lahat ng panahon ang mga Lamanita at mga Nephita ay parehong nagumon sa kasamaan.

And it came to pass that the three hundred and sixty and sixth year had passed away, and the Lamanites came again upon the Nephites to battle; and yet the Nephites repented not of the evil they had done, but persisted in their wickedness continually.

And it is impossible for the tongue to describe, or for man to write a perfect description of the horrible scene of the blood and carnage which was among the people, both of the Nephites and of the Lamanites; and every heart was hardened, so that they delighted in the shedding of blood continually. And there never had been so great wickedness among all the children of Lehi, nor even among all the house of Israel, according to the words of the Lord, as was among this people.

Mormon 4:13–14

Nanaig ang mga Lamanita laban sa mga Nephita, nasakop ang Kapanglawan, at lumusob sa Tiankum, kung saan sila ay nagdala ng mga bihag, at inialay ang mga kababaihan at mga bata sa mga diyus-diyusan.

And it came to pass that the Lamanites did take possession of the city Desolation, and this because their number did exceed the number of the Nephites. And they did also march forward against the city Teancum, and did drive the inhabitants forth out of her, and did take many prisoners both women and children, and did offer them up as sacrifices unto their idol gods.

Moroni 9:1–26

Si Mormon ay sumulat ng isang liham sa kanyang anak na si Moroni, sinasabi sa kanya ang tungkol sa kakila-kilabot na pananakop ng mga Lamanita, ang paghina ng parehong mga tao, at nanalangin para sa biyaya ng Diyos.

The second epistle of Mormon to his son Moroni.

Mormon 4:15

Ang mga Nephita, na nagagalit dahil sa ang kanilang mga kababaihan at mga anak ay inialay, ay sumalakay sa mga Lamanita, at naging matagumpay na maitaboy sila sa lupain ng mga Nephita.

And it came to pass that in the three hundred and sixty and seventh year, the Nephites being angry because the Lamanites had sacrificed their women and their children, that they did go against the Lamanites with exceedingly great anger, insomuch that they did beat again the Lamanites, and drive them out of their lands.
