I don't know if we can say that Moroni actually translated the original Jaredite record. There's a ~600 year difference between the discovery of the 24 Jaredite plates and Moroni's inclusion of the text in his records. The Book of Mormon never says who first translated it or if Moroni retranslated it, though it does seem to imply that Mosiah son of Benjamin translated it. Alma the younger and Mormon both make references to the Jaredites and information that could be found on the plates. And it's also likely soon after Christ's visit, the record was translated and made known more fully per Ether 4:1-2. I personally think that abridged is the correct way to describe Moroni's role. But before I edited any more, I thought I'd put this out for discussion? (By the way, I was the 67.40.134.10 editor). FyzixFighter 18:45, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
The Book of Ether is also incorporated into the Book of Jared by Elders Samuel Stevens and Warren Parrish. http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-Jared-Dispensation-Everlasting/dp/1490932348/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1373661965&sr=8-5&keywords=%22The+Book+of+Jared%22 — Prsaucer1958 ( talk) 20:58, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
