\nWhen the Mexica and Tlatelolca heard these shouts, they began to rage against Moteucçoma and curse him among themselves, saying, "What does this faggot Moteucçoma say? And you're a wretch along with him. We will not halt the war." Then they started giving war cries and shooting arrows and darts toward where the speaker was, together with Moteucçoma. But the Spaniards covered them with shields and they received no harm.
\nThey were greatly enraged against the Spaniards because they killed the leaders and brave men [warriors] treacherously. Hence they kept the royal palace surrounded, letting no one go in or out or take in any provisions, so that they would die of hunger. If anyone secretly gave food to someone on the inside, when those outside learned of it they would kill him. Those on the outside learned that some Mexica were going in there, secretly taking in arrows. Then they increased their diligence in keeping watch so that no one should enter,1 neither by land nor by water, and those whom they found guilty of having

the Tlacateuctli Moteucçoma addresses you, saying, ‘Let the Mexica hear: we are not their match, may they be dissuaded [from further fighting].’1 May the arrows and shields of war be laid down. The poor old men and women, the common people, the infants who toddle and crawl, who lie in the cradle or on the cradle board and know nothing yet, are all suffering. This is why your ruler says, ‘we are not their match; let everyone be dissuaded.’ They have placed him in irons, they have put irons on his feet.”
\nAnd when he had finished saying this, the Mexica railed against him, reproaching him. They grew angry and began to fall into a ranting rage. One of them, boiling over and ranting, said to him, “What does Moteucçoma say, you rogue? Aren’t you one of his men?”2 Then there was a clamor, an increasing clamor, and then arrows fell on the roof. But the [Spaniards held their shields over] Moteucçoma and Itzquauhtzin

tlahtoani [gobernante], el Tlacateuctli Moctezuma dice: ‘Que escuchen los mexicas, no somos rivales para ellos, que se contengan, que se depongan la flecha, el escudo [las armas]. Se afligen los pobres ancianos, las pobres ancianas; la cola, el ala [el pueblo]; los que aún no disciernen, los que gatean, los que se arrastran, los que están acostados en sus cunas, los que están acostados en sus [camas] de tablones de madera, los que aún no entienden [nada]. Por este motivo dice el que es su tlahtoani: ‘¡No somos rivales para ellos, que haya contención’”. A él lo habían cubierto de metal, le habían puesto metal en sus pies.
\nUna vez dicho esto, entonces lo abuchean, lo increpan; los mexicas se enojan al extremo, se enfurecen. Uno que hierve al extremo, le dice: “¿Qué es lo que viene a decirnos el vil de Moctezuma? ¿No es él uno de sus [guerreros] varones?”. Entonces comienza la gritería, rápidamente se dispersan los brazos levantados, se dan gritos. Entonces ya caen las flechas hacia la azotea. Y a Moctezuma e Itzcuauhtzin los españoles los resguardaron
