Changes

And now, behold, we will resist wickedness even unto bloodshed. We would not shed the blood of the Lamanites, if they would stay in their own land.

Simple English

We will fight evil even if it costs us our lives. We would not fight the Lamanites if they stayed in their own land.

Paraphrase

“We will stand against evil, even if it means bloodshed. We wouldn’t fight the Lamanites if they’d just stay in their own territory.”
