[Pareció]les que era un indio de los Chalco. Parecíales que estaba borracho. Traía ceñido a los pechos ocho cabestros o sogas hechas de heno, como de esparto, y venía de hacia donde estaban los españoles. Y llegando cerca dellos, comenzó con grande enojo a reñirlos, y díxoles: "¿Para qué porfiáis vosotros otra vez de venir acá? ¿Qué es lo que queréis? ¿Qué piensa Motecuzoma de hacer? ¿Agora acuerda a despertar? ¿Agora comienza a temer? Ya errado; ya no tiene remedio porque ha hecho muchas muertes injustas; ha destruido muchos, ha hecho muchos agravios y engaños y burlas."
\nComo vieron este hombre, los encantadores temieron mucho, y prostráronse delante dél. Comenzaron a rogarle y hicieron un montón de tierra, como altar, y echaron heno verde encima para que se sentase. Y él, como hombre enojado, ni quiso sentarse ni mirarle ni hacer lo que le rogaban; por demás hicieron el altar o asiento; mas antes se enojó más bravamente y más reciamente los reñía con grandes voces, y gran denuedo les dixo:

to them that he was an Indian from Chalco,1 and he seemed to them to be drunk. Tied to his chest he wore eight reins or ropes made of grass, like esparto grass, and he was coming from the direction where the Spaniards were. When he got close to them, with great annoyance he began to scold them, saying,
\n"Why do you persist in coming here again? What is it that you want? What does Moteucçoma intend to do? Has it occurred to him to wake up now? Now is he beginning to be afraid? He has already made his mistakes! Now there is no remedy! For he has brought about many unjust deaths and destroyed many. He has commited much abuse, deceit, and cheating."
\nWhen they saw this man, the enchanters were greatly afraid and prostrated themselves before him. They began to pray to him, and they made a mound of earth as an altar and cast green grass on top for him to sit on. But he as an angry man would not sit down there nor even look at it, nor do what they asked him to do. In vain they made the altar or seat; instead he grew more fiercely angry and scolded them more strongly, saying to them loudly and with great vehemence,

feigning to be a Chalcan. He seemed to be drunk, feigning drunkenness. On his chest were tied eight grass ropes. He came quarreling with them, coming ahead of the Spaniards.
\nHe ranted at them, saying to them, “What are you still doing here? What more do you want? What more is Moteucçoma trying to do? Did he come to his senses yesterday? Has he just now become a great coward? He has done wrong, he has [abandoned]1 the people, he has destroyed people, [he has hit himself on the head and wrapped himself up in relation to people],2 he has mocked people and deceived them.”
\nWhen they had seen this and heard what he said, they made an effort to address him humbly; they quickly set up for him a place to attend to him, an earthen platform with a straw bed, but he absolutely would not look at it. In vain they had set out for him the earthen platform they had tried to make for him there.

estaba vestido, estaba vestido como los chalcas, se parecía a los chalcas. Así como borracho, parecía ebrio, parecía borracho. Con ocho cuerdas de zacate estaba atado del pecho. Rápidamente salió a su encuentro, venía a la vanguardia de los españoles. Nomás arremetió contra ellos, les dijo: “¿Qué vienen a hacer ustedes aún aquí?, ¿qué es lo que quieren?, ¿qué es lo que aún quiera hacer Moctezuma?, ¿acaso no ha despertado?, ¿acaso aún ahora es un vil miedoso? Ha cometido faltas, ha abandonado a los macehuales, ha destruido a las personas, se ha dado de palos a la gente, se ha amortajado a la gente, ha jugado con la gente, ha engañado a la gente, se ha burlado de la gente”. Y una vez que así vieron esto, una vez que así escucharon su palabra, aún se empeñan en vano, le imploran; rápidamente le asentaron su adoratorio, su montículo y su cama de zacate, pero entonces ya no lo vieron allí. Empero, sólo en vano fue asentado, en vano allá se edificó montículo de tierra. Como si “en su boca se hubieran metido”,1 allí los reprendió, los cortó [con su palabra]. Como si hablara con coraje,
\nTal y como lo señala James Lockhart, la frase Çan ie iuhqui icamac ommaquique (sólo por allá en su boca se metieron) debe de tratarse de una expresión idiomática que alude a la hechicería o a algún augurio (1993, 304, nota 66). Garibay, por su parte, la traduce como “ya no más de su boca se meten en el oráculo”. (1956, 750).↩
