After I finished the translation of the last of the copper
sheets I saw a large stone. On this stone were the same symbols I saw on the
copper sheets. The translation of these writings was shown to me. This is the
translation:
And I, Ruman, have returned unto the place
where I have stored up the sacred things for I am still yet alive. Now even
eighty years have passed away since I hid up the record unto the Lord. And I
have come to know that it is true what John spoke, that I should remain upon
the face of the land until the time that this record shall come forth. And in
my time upon the far away islands I have been studying, and learning, and
guarding, And it has been revealed to me who shall open up this record. For he
shall be one the descendants of Suran and he shall live in a distant land. And
he shall speak a language of these islands and also a language that is not that
of the people these islands. And he shall translate the record into his
language And he shall write it. But Behold I know that God hath accepted my
work. And he shall deliver these writings to the descendants of the people of
these islands. And after they have gone forth, then the whole earth shall know
of our people and the covenants God hath made with us. And they shall know of
the goodness and truthfulness of God and His works. Now I do leave to build a
righteous Kingdom in the east.
