1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, it is expedient in me that the elders of my church should be called together, from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, by letter or some other way.

1 He aquí, así os dice el Señor a vosotros, mis siervos: Me es prudente que los élderes de mi iglesia sean convocados del oriente, del poniente, del norte y del sur, por carta o de alguna otra manera.

2 And it shall come to pass, that inasmuch as they are faithful, and exercise faith in me, I will pour out my Spirit upon them in the day that they assemble themselves together.

2 Y sucederá que, si son fieles y ejercen la fe en mí, derramaré sobre ellos mi Espíritu en el día en que se congreguen.

3 And it shall come to pass that they shall go forth into the regions round about, and preach repentance unto the people.

3 Y acontecerá que irán a las regiones inmediatas y predicarán el arrepentimiento a la gente.

4 And many shall be converted, insomuch that ye shall obtain power to organize yourselves according to the laws of man;

4 Y serán convertidos muchos, de modo que tendréis poder para organizaros conforme a las leyes del hombre;

5 That your enemies may not have power over you; that you may be preserved in all things; that you may be enabled to keep my laws; that every bond may be broken wherewith the enemy seeketh to destroy my people.

5 a fin de que vuestros enemigos no tengan poder sobre vosotros, y seáis preservados en todas las cosas; para que os sea posible guardar mis leyes y sea deshecha toda traba con que el enemigo procura destruir a mi pueblo.

6 Behold, I say unto you, that ye must visit the poor and the needy and administer to their relief, that they may be kept until all things may be done according to my law which ye have received. Amen.

6 He aquí, os digo que es preciso que visitéis a los pobres y a los necesitados, y les suministréis auxilio para que sean amparados, hasta que se hagan todas las cosas conforme a mi ley que habéis recibido. Amén.
