Omni 1:9

Now I, Chemish, write what few things I write, in the same book with my brother: for behold, I saw the last which he wrote, that he wrote it with his own hand; and he wrote it in the day that he delivered them unto me. And after this manner we keep the records: for it is according to the commandments of our fathers. And I make an end.

I am Chemish. I am writing just a few things in the same book as my brother. I saw what he wrote last, and he wrote it with his own hand on the day he gave the plates to me. This is how we keep the records, because our fathers told us to do it this way. I am done writing.

I’m Chemish, and I’m writing just a few words in the same record as my brother. I saw what he wrote last—he wrote it with his own hand on the day he gave the plates to me. This is how we keep the records, as our ancestors commanded. That’s all I have to say.
