aAnd so speedy was their march, that it could not be impeded, until they had gone forth out of the reach of the people. And thus ended the thirtieth year; and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi.

Simple English

They ran so fast that no one could stop them until they had gone out of reach of the people. This ended the thirtieth year. This is what was happening with the people of Nephi.

Paraphrase

They moved so quickly that no one could stop them. They got completely out of reach. And that’s how the thirtieth year ended—that’s where things stood for the Nephites.
