It is as if Moroni catches himself, realizes that it is unnecessary to fret over the particularity of the Nephite language, and admits that all of this really does not matter very much anyway: God has provided a means-through the Urim and Thummim and by the power of the Holy Ghost-that the sacred volume known as the Book of Mormon will be translated. Indeed, the only true translation of a sacred record is obtained by sacred means-by the gift and power of God. Elder James E. Talmage wrote:
“There will be, there can be, no absolutely reliable translation of ... scriptures unless it be effected through the gift of translation, as one of the endowments of the Holy Ghost. The translator must have the spirit of the prophet if he would render in another tongue the prophet’s words; and human wisdom alone leads not to that possession.” (The Articles of Faith, p. 237.)
