Rather ironic since the Mormons have no idea whether the Book of Mormon was translated correctly because they don’t have the original text. We do have the original untranslated text of the Bible so we don’t need to worry whether it was translated correctly.
They canNOT say that about the 'Book of Abraham'; for the ORIGNAL text HAS been found!!

1 | Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh. | "The spirit of the four elements (according to Champollion), or rather of the four winds, or the four cardinal points; the soul of the terrestrial world. This god is always represented with four rams' heads, and his image has certainly been altered here. They have also evidently made a very clumsy attempt at copying the double human head of the god figured above, fig. 2, instead of the four rams' heads. The word Jah-oh-eh has nothing Egyptian in it; it resembles the Hebrew word [redacted] badly transcribed." (emphasis in original) The name hieroglyph above the central figure is Chnm-Re, the Egyptian "First Creator" god who organized everything out of the primordial chaos. |
But they DO have this...
Uh; no we don't.
We have multiple COPIES of Scripture that was written through the years.
Our English language bibles are the result of much study of those copies.
