Translation of "bende" into English

Ek het dikwels ’n bende se gesteelde goedere en vuurwapens in my huis gehou.

Many times I stored a gang’s stolen goods and guns in my house.

En nou het dit gebeur dat daar baie was, selfs onder die Nefiete, van Gadianton se bende.

And now it had come to pass that there were many, even among the Nephites, of Gadianton’s band.
