摩尔门经 · 第 13 个故事阿宾纳代与阿尔玛（约公元前 148–74 年）
埋藏武器的人民
The People Who Buried Their Weapons
一句话概要
归主的拉曼人为了表明永不再流人血，把刀剑深深地埋在地里；当族人来攻击时，他们宁可被杀也不还手。
故事概要
艾蒙和他的兄弟们传道之后，有好几千拉曼人归主，他们给自己取名为安太-尼腓-李海人。他们的王说，他们过去杀了许多人，神已经赦免了他们，洗净了他们的刀；为了不再玷污它们，他们应该把刀剑收起来。于是全体百姓把刀剑和一切用来流人血的武器，都深深地埋在地里，作为向神和人的见证，立约宁可自己舍命，也不再流弟兄的血。后来，没有归主的拉曼人来攻打他们，他们却俯伏在地，向主呼求，一千零五个人被杀。许多攻击的人看见他们宁死也不还手，心受感动，丢下武器，后悔自己所做的，并加入了神的百姓，归主的人比被杀的还多。后来尼腓人把地让给他们居住，保护他们。

为什么重要
这是摩尔门经中关于彻底悔改最震撼的例子：他们不只是停止犯罪，而是埋掉犯罪的工具，并且宁死也不回头。他们的榜样甚至感动了攻击他们的人。多年后，他们的儿子们成为了著名的两千年轻战士。

And now it came to pass that when the king had made an end of these sayings, and all the people were assembled together, they took their swords, and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of man’s blood, and they did bury them up deep in the earth.
And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men, that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man’s blood; and this they did, vouching and covenanting with God, that rather than shed the blood of their brethren they would give up their own lives; and rather than take away from a brother they would give unto him; and rather than spend their days in idleness they would labor abundantly with their hands.
Now when the Lamanites saw that their brethren would not flee from the sword, neither would they turn aside to the right hand or to the left, but that they would lie down and perish, and praised God even in the very act of perishing under the sword—
