Words of Mormon 1:11

And they were handed down from king Benjamin, from generation to generation, until they have fallen into my hands. And I, Mormon, pray to God that they may be preserved from this time henceforth. And I know that they will be preserved; for there are great things written upon them, out of which my people and their brethren shall be judged at the great and last day, according to the word of God which is written.

These plates were passed down from King Benjamin through each generation until they came to me. I, Mormon, pray to God that they will be kept safe from now on. I know they will be protected because great things are written on them. My people and their brothers will be judged by what is written on these plates on the great and last day, according to God’s word.

They were handed down from King Benjamin through the generations until they came to me. I pray to God they’ll be kept safe from now on.
