Alma 56:40
1830 Edition
Now they durst not turn to the right nor to the left, lest they should be surrounded; neither would I turn to the right or to the left, lest they should overtake me, and we could not stand against them, but be slain, and they would make their escape; and thus we did flee all that day into the wilderness, even until it was dark.
Changes
Simple English
They didn’t dare turn right or left. They were afraid of getting surrounded. I wouldn’t turn right or left either. If I did, they might catch us. We couldn’t fight them. They would kill us and get away. We ran all day into the wilderness until it got dark.
Paraphrase
“They couldn’t turn aside or they’d risk being surrounded. And I couldn’t turn aside or they’d catch us, and we’d be killed—and they’d escape. So we ran all day through the wilderness until darkness came.”
