The Book of Mormon

Alma 25:12

1830 Edition

And he said unto the priests of Noah, That their seed should cause many to be put to death, in the like manner as he was, and that they should be scattered abroad and slain, even as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts: and now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites, and they were hunted, and they were smitten.

And he said unto the priests of Noah, Tthat their seed should cause many to be put to death, in the like manner as he was, and that they should be scattered abroad and slain, even as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts:; and now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites, and they were hunted, and they were smitten.

Simple English

He told Noah’s priests that their children would cause many people to die the same way he died. He said they would be scattered around and killed, like sheep with no shepherd are chased and killed by wild animals. These words came true. The Lamanites chased them, hunted them, and killed them.

Paraphrase

He told Noah’s priests that their children would cause many people to be killed the same way they killed him, and that they would be scattered and hunted down like sheep without a shepherd, chased and slaughtered by wild animals. Now those words came true. The Lamanites drove them out, hunted them, and cut them down.
