translate translation

 Here are some examples of Doctrine and Covenants passages that relate to translating engravings:

• Doctrine and Covenants 10

  The Lord instructs Joseph Smith to translate the engravings of Nephi, saying that they contain a greater view of his gospel. The Lord also tells Joseph not to retranslate a lost portion of the plates because wicked people wanted to publish an altered version. 
• Doctrine and Covenants 14-17

  Joseph testifies that he could see the engravings on the plates and that a heavenly voice confirmed the translation was correct. 
• Doctrine and Covenants 5:11–18

  The Prophet Joseph Smith called Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, and David Whitmer to serve as the Three Witnesses. These men heard God's voice declare that the plates had been translated by God's power. 

The Doctrine and Covenants is a source of instruction for Latter-day Saints, confirming the way of salvation and revealing how to govern the Church.
