los cempoaltecas, que preguntaban cosas en secreto, estos les dijeron [a los españoles]: “No es él, señores nuestros. Éste es Tzihuacpopocatzin, está representando a Moctezuma”. [Los españoles] le dijeron: “¿Acaso eres tú Moctezuma?”. Él fue a decirles: “Yo soy el ‘delegado’1 de ustedes, yo soy Moctezuma”. De inmediato le dijeron: “¡Lárgate! ¿Por qué nos mientes?, ¿quién piensas que somos? No podrás mentirnos, no podrás burlarte de nosotros, no podrás engañarnos, no podrás adularnos, no podrás gratificarnos, no podrás embaucarnos, no podrás embrujarnos los ojos, no podrás apelar a nosotros, no podrás dañarnos los ojos, no podrás cegarnos, no podrás embarrarnos lodo en los ojos, no podrás tocarnos los ojos con tus manos lodosas. Tú no eres. Allá está Moctezuma, no podrá ocultarse de nosotros, no podrá esconderse. ¿A dónde ha de ir?, ¿acaso es un ave?, ¿acaso ha de volar?, ¿o acaso en la tierra alzará su camino?, ¿acaso en algún lugar, dentro un cerro, hará un agujero y se meterá? Nosotros hemos de verlo, sin duda alguna miraremos su rostro, escucharemos su palabra, de sus labios hemos de oírla. Con ello, totalmente lo despreciaron, lo tuvieron en nada. Con ello, totalmente se perdió otro de sus encuentros, de sus saludos. De inmediato, rapidito, se vinieron derecho por camino recto.
\nMotechiuhcauh, “el que obra por alguien” o “a nombre de alguien más”. Título de un alto funcionario. Suele traducirse como “gobernador”, “diputado” o “delegado”. En este caso, la palabra se refiere a Moctezuma, quien se da a sí mismo este apelativo, en el entendido de que él, como todos los gobernantes de México, estaba sólo resguardando el gobierno que en realidad le correspondía a Quetzalcóatl, con el que al parecer se identifica en este texto a Cortés.↩
