Ang Panahon ng Mga Jaredita

Ang Paghahari ni Shez

Ether 10:1

Si Het ay namatay sa taggutom, at ang kanyang inapo, na si Shez, ay nagdala sa kanyang sarili ng isang gawain upang muling ayusin ang nasirang bansa.

And it came to pass that Shez, who was a descendant of Heth— for Heth had perished by the famine, and all his household save it were Shez—wherefore, Shez began to build up again a broken people.

Ether 10:2

Naalala ni Shez ang sinapit ng kanyang ama, kaya siya ay nagtaguyod ng isang kaharian sa katuwiran, inaalala ang mabubuting biyaya ng Diyos.

And it came to pass that Shez did remember the destruction of his fathers, and he did build up a righteous kingdom; for he remembered what the Lord had done in bringing Jared and his brother across the deep; and he did walk in the ways of the Lord; and he begat sons and daughters.

Ether 10:3

Si Shez ay may isang anak na lalaki (nagngangalan ding Shez) na nagsimulang maghimagsik laban sa kanyang ama, subalit agarang sinalakay ng isang tulisan; ang kanyang ama ay muling napanatag.

And his eldest son, whose name was Shez, did rebel against him; nevertheless, Shez was smitten by the hand of a robber, because of his exceeding riches, which brought peace again unto his father.

Ether 10:4

Si Shez ay nagpatuloy na maghari sa kabutihan hanggang sa kanyang kamatayan; ang isa pa niyang mga anak na lalaki na nagngangalang Riplakis ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari.

And it came to pass that his father did build up many cities upon the face of the land, and the people began again to spread over all the face of the land. And Shez did live to an exceedingly old age; and he begat Riplakish. And he died, and Riplakish reigned in his stead.
