Aia kekahi wahi hou koke aku, ko mākou nohona a me ko mākou wahi home, ʻo ia kahi a mākou e noho nei me ka nānā ʻole ʻana iā ia, akā aia nō i nā manawa āpau a puni nā mea āpau.
Aia kekahi wahi hou koke aku, ko mākou nohona a me ko mākou wahi home, ʻo ia kahi a mākou e noho nei me ka nānā ʻole ʻana iā ia, akā aia nō i nā manawa āpau a puni nā mea āpau.
Kuhi mākou i kēlā me kēia lā mai ko mākou hale a i ʻole nā luakini i kēia mau pae ʻokoʻa o ke ākea e kū ana i kā mākou ʻāina laʻa. Hoʻomaka kēia hihiʻo mai ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ke ao ke kanaka a me ke ʻano, ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke ʻole ka mea ʻē aʻe; ʻO Oani Báa (Monte Albán), no ka laʻana, he huahana kanaka ia i loko o kāna outline i ukali i ka dictates o ke kūlohelohe. Hiki iā mākou ke nānā a puni ka Great Plaza, ma ka pae, nā mauna kiʻekiʻe i lilo i kumu hoʻohālikelike no ke kūkulu ʻana o kēlā me kēia luakini, nona ka palena i kau ʻia e nā kiʻekiʻe maoli o kā lākou mau kualono. No laila, i kā mākou ʻōlelo i kēlā me kēia lā ke kuhikuhi mau nei mākou i ke kiʻi o kēlā mau kuahiwi, he kūlohelohe a kū i ka honua makuahine.
Ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi heiau a i ko mākou kūlanakauhale ponoʻī paha, kūpono mākou i kahi liʻiliʻi o kēlā ʻano a hoʻololi iā ia, ʻo ia ke kumu e noi ai i ka ʻae o nā akua, no ka mea, pale ʻia kēlā me kēia wahi e kahi akua. E nānā, no ka laʻana, pehea ma kahi mamao, ma kā mākou mau puʻu, uila ka uila a me nā uila i ka wā o ka ʻino, a ma laila kahi e noho ai ke akua o ka uila, ke akua o ka wai, ʻo Cocijo; Aia ʻo ia ma nā wahi āpau a i nā manawa āpau, ʻo ia ke kumu i mahalo nui ʻia ʻo ia, hāʻawi nui ʻia a makaʻu loa hoʻi. Pēlā nō, ua hana nā akua ʻē aʻe, a noho wale paha, i nā wahi like ʻole o kā mākou ʻāina, e like me nā muliwai, nā kahawai, nā awāwa, nā kuahiwi, nā ana, nā awāwa, ke kaupaku o nā hōkū a me ka honua i lalo.
ʻO nā kahuna wale nō ka mea e ʻike i ka manawa a me ke ʻano e ʻikea ai nā akua; ʻO lākou wale nō no ka mea naʻauao a no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou he kanaka maoli, he mea akua kekahi lākou, ʻo ia ke kumu e hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻokokoke iā lākou a laila kuhikuhi mākou i ke ala i mua. ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻike ai nā kāhuna i nā wahi laʻa, kahi kumu, ka loko wai a me ka muliwai i kū mai ai ko mākou kaona; ʻo lākou wale nō, ka mea i loaʻa ka naʻauao nui, no ka mea, ua koho ʻia lākou e nā akua e hoʻomau i ka haʻi ʻana i kā mākou mau moʻolelo.
Mālama pū ʻia ko mākou ola o kēlā me kēia lā e ke alo o nā ʻāpana he nui o ka ʻāina, kahi e komo ai nā kānaka; Me kā mākou hana e hoʻololi mākou i ka helehelena o nā awāwa, a i ʻole hoʻololi mākou i kahi puʻu e noho ai, e like me Monte Albán, he puʻu kūlohelohe ia ma mua, a ma hope, ua hoʻololi ʻia e ko mākou mau kūpuna, kahi e kamaʻilio pololei ai me nā akua. Ma ke ala like, hoʻololi mākou i ka ʻāina, hāʻawi kā mākou māla i mahi ʻia i kahi hoʻonohonoho hou i nā puʻu, no ka mea pono mākou e kūkulu i nā ʻanā i holoi ʻole ʻia ka lepo e ka ua, akā maikaʻi kēlā, no ka mea hoʻohana ʻia lākou e lūlū i nā hua kulina e ʻai kākou a pau. A laila aia he akua wahine o ka palaoa, ʻo Pitao Cozobi, ka mea e launa pū me nā akua ʻē aʻe a hāʻawi iā mākou i ka ʻae e hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka puʻu a me ke awāwa, ʻoiai ke hana a hana i nā meaʻai, hana i kā mākou kulina, kā mākou ola. .
Ma waena o nā pali a me nā puʻu, nā awāwa, nā ana, nā awawa a me nā kahawai he nui nā mea ʻē aʻe e hāʻawi i ke ola i kā mākou ʻāina: ʻo ia nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona. ʻIke mākou iā lākou no ka mea hoʻohana mākou i mea e ola ai, hōʻiliʻili mākou i nā hua a me nā ʻanoʻano a ʻimi i nā holoholona like ʻole, e like me dia, nā lāpaki, nā ʻili a me nā cacomixtles, nā manu a me nā opossum, a me kekahi mau viboras hoʻi. ʻo nā mea wale nō e pono ai, no ka mea ʻaʻole pono mākou e hoʻonele i ka mea a ke kūlohelohe e hāʻawi mai ai iā mākou, e huhū loa kā mākou akua inā mākou e hoʻomāinoino. Hoʻohana mākou i kēlā me kēia pāʻani i nā mea āpau, nā ʻili no nā mea hoʻonaninani a me nā lole, nā iwi a me nā pepeiaohao e hana i nā mea hana, ka ʻiʻo e ʻai, ka momona e hana i nā lama, ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻonele ʻia.
Ma waena o nā mea kanu hihiu he nui nā ʻano hua, nā ʻanoʻano, nā lau a me nā koʻokoʻo a mākou e ʻohiʻohi ai e hoʻopiha i kā mākou mau tortilla, nā pī, nā palaʻai, a me ka chili a mākou e ulu nei. He mea nui nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe no ka mea ʻae lākou iā mākou e loaʻa hou ke olakino me ke kōkua o kahi mea hoʻōla. Aia nā mea kanu no ka haki, ka pehu ʻana, ke kuni, ka ʻeha, nā pimples, nā kiko, ka ea, ka maka, ka luʻuluʻu ʻole, kēlā mau hōʻailona o ka maʻi i hiki i kekahi ke hele i kahi huakaʻi, e ka maʻi lele a no ka mea ʻaʻole i aloha kekahi iā mākou i hoʻouna mai iā mākou iā mākou.
No laila mākou, mai ka wā kamaliʻi, e aʻo e ʻike i ko mākou ʻāina, ka mea laʻa a me ka hana i ka manawa like; maikaʻi ia akā hiki ke maikaʻi inā mākou e hoʻouka iā ia, inā ʻaʻole, pehea mākou e wehewehe ai i nā kahe, nā ʻōlaʻi, nā ahi a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe e kū mai?
I kēia manawa e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kā mākou ʻāina o kēlā me kēia lā, ka home, ʻo ia ka mea a mākou e hoʻohana ai e ola i kēlā me kēia lā. Maʻaneʻi ʻoe e hilinaʻi ai i kou home, kou kaiāulu a me kou kūlanakauhale; ʻO nā pae ʻekolu i loko o lākou e pale ʻia e nā akua, i ʻae iā mākou e hoʻohana a noho pū i nā wahi lehulehu a me nā wahi pilikino. No ke kūkulu ʻana iā lākou, ʻaʻole pono e nalowale ke kanaka me ke kūlohelohe, nā waihoʻoluʻu a me nā kinona, ʻo ia ke kumu e ʻimi ai nā mea mai kahi like, a noi kekahi i ka ʻae mai ka puʻu e hemo i kāna mau pōhaku, kāna mau papa, nā ʻāpana o kona naʻau. Inā ʻae ʻoe, ʻo ia; Inā mākou i hāʻawi lawa, e hāʻawi hauʻoli ka puʻu iā lākou iā mākou, inā ʻaʻole hiki ke hōʻike i kona huhū, hiki iā ia ke pepehi i kekahi ...
Hana ʻia ka pae o ka hale me nā mea maʻalahi; Hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha mau keʻena me nā paia adobe a me nā kaupaku hale i kūkulu ʻia; ʻO nā paia ʻilihune kū wale o bajareque, nā lāʻau o ke kumu waina me nā pā lepo, e pale ai i ka ea a me ke anuanu mai ke komo ʻana, me nā papahele o ka honua i uhi ʻia a i kekahi manawa uhi ʻia me ka lime. Hoʻopuni nā hale i nā pā nui kahi e nui ai ka hana, mai ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā mea kanu, mālama i nā holoholona, hoʻomākaukau i nā mea hana; Pau kēia mau patio ma kahi e hoʻomaka ai ka ʻōpala, kahi i hoʻohana wale ʻia no ke kanu ʻana. ʻO kēlā me kēia mau ākea kahi mea kōkua o ka ʻōnaehana ola i kēlā me kēia lā.
Lawe ka pae kaiāulu i ka nui o ka poʻe, ʻohana kekahi mau ʻohana i kekahi manawa. ʻO kahi kaiāulu kahi hoʻonohonoho o nā hale a me nā hoʻolālā i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma kahi, kahi e ʻike ai kēlā me kēia i kekahi a hana pū kekahi; nui ka poʻe e male a kaʻana like i ka ʻike e pili ana i nā ʻōnaehana mahiʻai, nā mea huna o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā mea kanu, nā wahi i loaʻa ai ka wai, a me nā mea e lawelawe ai i kēlā me kēia.
Ma ka pae o ke kūlanakauhale, hōʻike kā mākou ʻāina i nā mana āpau, ka mana kiʻekiʻe o nā Zapotecs ma luna o nā lāhui ʻē aʻe; ʻO ia ke kumu ʻo Monte Albán kahi kūlanakauhale nui, hoʻolālā a monumental, kahi e kaʻana like ai mākou me ka poʻe e kipa mai iā mākou i kahi ākea o nā square a me ka puʻuwai o ke kūlanakauhale, ʻo Great Central Plaza, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā luakini a me nā hale aliʻi, i loko o kahi lewa o ka hoʻomana a o ka mōʻaukala.
ʻO ke hiʻohiʻona a mākou e ʻike nei mai ka Great Plaza kahi kūlanakauhale pio ʻole, nona ka pahuhopu e hoʻomalu i nā hopena o nā poʻe o ka moku Oaxacan. He lāhui lanakila mākou, no ia kumu ke kau nei mākou i ko mākou mana i nā kaona, ua koho nā akua iā mākou e hana ia; inā pono mākou e hele i nā kahua kaua a pāʻani paha i ka kinipōpō a lanakila i ke kuleana o ko mākou poʻe ʻenemi e hoʻokupu iā mākou.
No kēia kumu i loko o nā hale e nānā ʻia nei nā hiʻohiʻona ʻokoʻa o kā mākou naʻi aupuni, i lawe ʻia mai ka wā kahiko; Waiho mau nā Zapotecs i kā mākou mōʻaukala i kākau ʻia, no ka mea ʻike mākou he lōʻihi loa ko mākou wā e hiki mai ana, a he mea pono e waiho i nā kiʻi i ʻike ka poʻe mamo i ke kumu o ko lākou nui, no laila he mea maʻamau ke pani i kā mākou poʻe pio, nā lāhui a mākou i naʻi ai, i ko mākou mau alakaʻi i hoʻokō i ka naʻi aupuni, kiaʻi mau ʻia lākou āpau e ko mākou mau akua, iā lākou e hāʻawi aku ai iā lākou i kēlā me kēia lā e mālama i ke ʻano me kā lākou mau kiʻi.
No laila, ke ʻano o ko mākou ʻāina i kēlā me kēia lā nā waiwai laʻa loa, akā hōʻike ʻia nō hoʻi i ka lua o ke ola a me ka make, ka mālamalama a me ka pouli, ka maikaʻi a me ka hewa, ke kanaka a me ke akua. ʻIke mākou i kēia mau waiwai i loko o kā mākou akua, ʻo wai ka mea e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka ikaika e ola i ka pouli, nā ʻino, nā ōlaʻi, nā lā pouli, a me ka make pū kekahi.
ʻO ia ke kumu a mākou e aʻo ai i nā mea huna a pau o ka ʻāina laʻa i kā mākou poʻe keiki; Mai ka wā ʻōpio pono lākou e ʻike i nā mea huna o ke awāwa, ke kuahiwi, nā kahawai, nā wailele, nā alanui, ke kūlanakauhale, ke kaiāulu a me ka hale. Hāʻawi pū lākou i kā mākou mau akua a, e like me nā mea ʻē aʻe, hana i nā hana o ka mōhai pilikino e hauʻoli ai lākou, no laila mākou e kuʻi ai i ko mākou mau ihu a me nā pepeiao i kekahi mau hana e hāʻawi i ko mākou koko e hānai i ka honua a me nā akua. Pākuʻi pū mākou i nā ʻāpana hanohano i mea momona mākou i ke kūlohelohe a hōʻoiaʻiʻo iā mākou i nā keiki he nui, e pono ai e mālama i ko mākou lāhui. Akā ʻo ka poʻe ʻike nui e pili ana i ka ʻāina a pehea e hoʻohauʻoli ai i ko mākou mau akua ke kanalua ʻole nā kumu, nā kāhuna; hoʻonani lākou iā mākou me ko lākou ʻike a me ka mōakāka. ʻLelo lākou iā mākou inā pono mākou e hāʻawi i nā mea hou i ka mahina ʻai i hiki i ka manawa e ʻohiʻohi ai ke hele mai me ka maikaʻi; ʻike lākou i nā mea huna o ka ua, wānana lākou i nā ōlaʻi, nā kaua a me nā wī. ʻO lākou nā mea kikoʻī i ko mākou ola, a ʻo lākou ka mea e kōkua i ka poʻe kaona e mālama i ke kamaʻilio me kā mākou akua, ʻo ia ke kumu e hoʻopaʻa ai mākou iā lākou i kahi kiʻekiʻe loa, mahalo a mahalo. Inā ʻaʻole lākou e pōkole loa ko mākou ola, no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike i kahi e kuhikuhi ai i kā mākou hopena, ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike i kekahi mea e pili ana i kā mākou ʻāina a i ʻole mākou e hiki mai ana.
