Estaba su corazón parecía que se levaban en agua de chilli, y ansí tenía gran tormento y decía: "¡Oh, señor! ¿A dónde iré? ¿Cómo escaparé?"
\nLlegando los mensajeros a donde estaba la guarda de Motecuzoma, dixéronlos: "Aunque duerma nuestro señor Motecuzoma, desportade y decilde que somos venido de la ribera de la mar, donde nos envió." Luego los de la guarda le dixeron aquello, y él respondió: "No quiero oír aquí las nuevas que traen. Allá quiero ir a la sala; allá me hablarán. Váyanse allá." Y luego mandó que untasen con greda todo el cuerpo a ciertos captivos para sacrificarlos.
\nLos mensajeros fuéronse a la sala, y también Motecuzoma se fue allá. Y allí delante los mensajeros mataron los captivos y rociaron a los mensajeros con sangre de los captivos. Hicieron esta cerimonia porque habían visto grandes cosas, y habían visto a los dioses y hablado con ellos.

\nHis heart seemed as though it had been washed1 in chile water, and so he was greatly tortured. He said, "O lord, where am I to go? How am I to escape?"
\nWhen the messengers got to where Moteucçoma's guards were, they told them, "Even though our lord Moteucçoma should be sleeping, wake him2 and tell him that we have come from the seashore where he sent us."
\nThen the guards told him, and he answered, "Here I don't want to hear the news they bring; I want to go to the hall; there they are to speak to me. Let them go there." Then he ordered that the whole bodies of certain captives be anointed with chalk for them to be sacrificed.
\nThe messengers went to the hall, and Moteucçoma went too. There they killed the captives in the presence of the messengers and sprinkled the blood of the captives on them. They performed this ceremony3 because they had seen great things; they had seen the gods and talked with them.
\nTherefore he said, “What is to come of us? Who in the world must endure it? Will it not be me [as ruler]?1 My heart is tormented, as though chile water were poured on it; it greatly burns and smarts. Where in the world [are we to turn], o our lord?”
\nThen [the messengers] notified those who guarded [Moteucçoma], who kept watch at the head of his bed, saying to them, “Even if he is asleep, tell him, ‘Those whom you sent out on the sea have come back.’ ”
\nBut when they went to tell him, he replied, “I will not hear it here. I will hear it at the Coacalco; let them go there.” And he gave orders, saying, “Let some captives be covered with chalk [for sacrifice].”
\nThen the messengers went to the Coacalco, and so did Moteucçoma. Thereupon the captives died in their presence; they cut open their chests and sprinkled their blood on the messengers. (The reason they did it was that they had gone to very dangerous places and had seen, gazed on the countenances of, and spoken to the gods.)

Por este motivo decía: “¿Qué es lo que va a ocurrirnos?, ¿quién en verdad está en pie? Antes, fui yo. Bien languidece mi corazón, como si le hubieran echado agua con chile, bien arde, bien se escoce. ¿Señor nuestro, a dónde en verdad [nos iremos]?”.
\nLuego, [los mensajeros] le hablaron alto a los que cuidan de él, a los que cuidan de su cabecera, les dijeron: “Si está durmiendo díganle que volvieron los que él envió al interior del agua [mar]”. Pero cuando fueron a decirle, enseguida él les dijo: “No lo escucharé aquí, lo escucharé allá en el Coacalco [la casa de las serpientes], que vayan allá”. Y ordenó, dijo: “¡Que se cubra de tiza a los cautivos!”. Enseguida, los mensajeros se fueron allá al Coacalco. También él, Moctezuma. Enseguida, ya ante él mueren, les abren el pecho a los cautivos, con su sangre rocían a los mensajeros (la razón de haber hecho esto fue que habían ido a lugares peligrosos, pues fueron a ver, fueron a mirar de frente, por encima, a los teteoh [dioses]).
