Alma 11:2

1830 Edition

Now if a man oweth another, and he would not pay that which he did owe, he was complained of to the Judge; and the Judge executed authority, and sent forth officers that the man should be brought before him; and he judgeth the man according to the law and the evidences which are brought against him; and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he oweth, or be striped, or be cast out from among the people, as a thief and a robber.

Now if a man owethd another, and he would not pay that which he did owe, he was complained of to the Jjudge; and the Jjudge executed authority, and sent forth officers that the man should be brought before him; and he judgethd the man according to the law and the evidences which awere brought against him;, and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owethd, or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people, as a thief and a robber.

Simple English

If someone owed money and would not pay it back, they were taken to the judge. The judge sent officers to bring the person to him. Then the judge decided what to do based on the law and the facts. The person had to pay what they owed or be whipped or kicked out of the group like a thief.

Paraphrase

If someone refused to pay what they owed, the creditor would file a complaint with the judge. The judge would send officers to bring the debtor in, then rule on the case based on the law and the evidence. The debtor would be forced to pay what they owed—or be whipped, or kicked out of society as a thief.
