Ang Mga Paghahari nina Koriantum, Com, at Heth • Aklat ni Mormon Online

Ether 9:23

Si Coriantum din ay naghari sa kabutihan, subalit tumanda na walang mga anak.

And it came to pass that Coriantum did walk in the steps of his father, and did build many mighty cities, and did administer that which was good unto his people in all his days. And it came to pass that he had no children even until he was exceedingly old.

Ether 9:24

Ang asawa ni Coriantum ay namatay, muling nagpakasal si Coriantum, nagkaroon ng maraming anak, at nabuhay hanggang 142 na taong gulang.

And it came to pass that his wife died, being an hundred and two years old. And it came to pass that Coriantum took to wife, in his old age, a young maid, and begat sons and daughters; wherefore he lived until he was an hundred and forty and two years old.

Ether 9:25

Isa sa mga anak ni Coriantum, si Com, ay naging hari; si Com ay nagkaroon ng isang anak na lalaki na nagngangalang Het kasama ng iba pang mga anak.

And it came to pass that he begat Com, and Com reigned in his stead; and he reigned forty and nine years, and he begat Heth; and he also begat other sons and daughters.

Ether 9:26–27

Nagsimulang muli si Het na yakapin ang mga masasamang lihim na kasunduan ng nakalipas, gutom sa kapangyarihan, at pinatay ang kanyang ama na si Com, at kinuha ang kanyang lugar bilang hari.

And the people had spread again over all the face of the land, and there began again to be an exceedingly great wickedness upon the face of the land, and Heth began to embrace the secret plans again of old, to destroy his father. And it came to pass that he did dethrone his father, for he slew him with his own sword; and he did reign in his stead.

Ether 9:28–29

Ang mga propeta ay dumating sa mga tao at binalaan sila na magsisi, binabalaan sila ng taggutom, subalit karamihan sa mga tao ay tumanggi at kinutya ang mga propeta.

And there came prophets in the land again, crying repentance unto them—that they must prepare the way of the Lord or there should come a curse upon the face of the land; yea, even there should be a great famine, in which they should be destroyed if they did not repent. But the people believed not the words of the prophets, but they cast them out; and some of them they cast into pits and left them to perish. And it came to pass that they did all these things according to the commandment of the king, Heth.

Ether 9:30–32

Ang lupain ay nagdanas ng tagtuyot, ang populasyon ay mabilis na nangunti, at may mga makamandag na mga ahas ang sumalakay sa mga tao at ikinalat ang mga paghahayupan.

And it came to pass that there began to be a great dearth upon the land, and the inhabitants began to be destroyed exceedingly fast because of the dearth, for there was no rain upon the face of the earth. And there came forth poisonous serpents also upon the face of the land, and did poison many people. And it came to pass that their flocks began to flee before the poisonous serpents, towards the land southward, which was called by the Nephites Zarahemla. And it came to pass that there were many of them which did perish by the way; nevertheless, there were some which fled into the land southward.

Ether 9:33

Pinapangyari ng Panginoon na ang mga ahas ay bumuo ng barikada upang harangan ang mga tao mula sa katimurang lupain.

And it came to pass that the Lord did cause the serpents that they should pursue them no more, but that they should hedge up the way that the people could not pass, that whoso should attempt to pass might fall by the poisonous serpents.

Ether 9:34

Sinubukan ng mga tao na sundan ang mga dinaraanan ng mga lumilisan na mga paghahayupan, at kunin ang mga bangkay nito sa daanan.

And it came to pass that the people did follow the course of the beasts, and did devour the carcasses of them which fell by the way, until they had devoured them all.

Ether 9:34–35

Nakikitang ang kanilang mga kasalanan ang nagdala nito sa kanila ang mga tao ay nagsimulang magsisi; biglang pagkatapos, ang ulan ay nagsimulang bumuhos, at ang mga bungang-kahoy ay lumagong muli sa hilagang rehiyon.

Now when the people saw that they must perish they began to repent of their iniquities and cry unto the Lord. And it came to pass that when they had humbled themselves sufficiently before the Lord he did send rain upon the face of the earth; and the people began to revive again, and there began to be fruit in the north countries, and in all the countries round about. And the Lord did show forth his power unto them in preserving them from famine.
