"Following the loss of the 116 manuscript pages, the Prophet lost the power to translate. Following a period of humble prayer and repentance, the plates and the Urim and Thummim were returned to Joseph. The Lord commanded Joseph not to retranslate the portion of the plates corresponding to the lost 116 pages, and He revealed Satan’s plot to destroy the work of God. The Lord then commanded Joseph Smith to translate the small plates of Nephi. He also explained the purpose of the Book of Mormon and its role in establishing His Church."
