Ang Zarahemla sa Ilalim ng Pamumunong Nauukol sa Hukuman

Mga Pagsisikap sa Pagsagip sa Mga Bilanggo

Alma 16:4–5

Hinahangad na masaklolohan ang mga bilanggo na nadalang bihag sa panahon ng labanan sa Amonihas, ang mga Nephita ay bumuo ng isan hukbo na pinamumunuan ng isang lalaking nagngangalang Zoram, na nagtanong sa propetang Alma kung sa patutungo ang hukbo.

Now it came to pass that the Nephites were desirous to obtain those who had been carried away captive into the wilderness.

Therefore, he that had been appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites, (and his name was Zoram, and he had two sons, Lehi and Aha)—now Zoram and his two sons, knowing that Alma was high priest over the church, and having heard that he had the spirit of prophecy, therefore they went unto him and desired of him to know whither the Lord would that they should go into the wilderness in search of their brethren, who had been taken captive by the Lamanites.

Alma 16:6

Matapos kumonsulta sa Panginoon, si Alma ay nagtagubilin sa mga pangkat na tumawid sa ilog Sidon at magpatuloy papunta sa lunsod ng Manti.

And it came to pass that Alma inquired of the Lord concerning the matter. And Alma returned and said unto them:

“Behold, the Lamanites will cross the river Sidon in the south wilderness, away up beyond the borders of the land of Manti. And behold there shall ye meet them, on the east of the river Sidon, and there the Lord will deliver unto thee thy brethren who have been taken captive by the Lamanites.”

Alma 16:7–9

Si Zoram ay namuno sa grupo ayon sa salita ni Alma, ikinalat ang mga hindi kahina-hinalang Lamanita, at pinalaya ang mga yaong nadala bilang mga bilanggo.

And it came to pass that Zoram and his sons crossed over the river Sidon, with their armies, and marched away beyond the borders of Manti into the south wilderness, which was on the east side of the river Sidon.

And they came upon the armies of the Lamanites, and the Lamanites were scattered and driven into the wilderness; and they took their brethren who had been taken captive by the Lamanites, and there was not one soul of them had been lost that were taken captive. And they were brought by their brethren to possess their own lands. And thus ended the eleventh year of the judges, the Lamanites having been driven out of the land.
