Ua luhi nā pae mahiʻai o Xoxocotlán, Atzompa, Mexicapam a me Ixtlahuaca, a ua maikaʻi ʻole ka makahiki i nā ua.
ʻO Cocijo, ua maopopo i nā keonimana, ke koi nei i nā mea a ka poʻe naʻauao i ʻike ai i loko o nā puke a hōʻoia ʻia e nā ʻōuli like ʻole: ke kokoke mai nei kahi wī e like me ka mea i ka pōʻaiapuni ma mua: ʻaʻole i kū ka pueo i ke mele ʻana i kāna mele. Ua haʻalele mua nā haku nui i kekahi mau mahina i hala aku nei, ma hope o ke ōlaʻi ikaika i hōʻailona ai i ko lākou manawa e haʻalele ai. Ua ʻike ʻia he noho hou kā lākou, ma laila ma ke awāwa, kahi i noho ai kekahi mau kauhale liʻiliʻi. Ma laila lākou i hele ai me ko lākou mau ʻohana a me kā lākou mau kauā, e noho a hoʻomaka hou, e lūlū i ka ʻāina, e hana i nā kikowaena lehulehu hou a kahi Benizaa e ikaika hou ai, hanohano a lanakila hoʻi, e like me ko lākou hopena.
Ua haʻalele ʻia ka hapa nui o ke kūlanakauhale; he aha ka mea nani a pau no kona kala a me ka neʻe ʻana, i kēia lā ua hina. ʻAʻole i hana hou ʻia nā luakini a me nā hale aliʻi no ka manawa lōʻihi. Ua pani ʻia ka Plaza Nui o Dani Báa me nā paia nui e nā haku hope loa, e hoʻāʻo ana e hōʻalo i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o nā pūʻali koa hema e loaʻa ana ka mana nui.
ʻO ka hui liʻiliʻi i koe i hāʻawi aku i ko lākou mau akua no ka manawa hope loa me nā mea kuni mea kope o ka copal; Ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i kāna mea i make i ka haku o nā aka, ke akua Bat, a hōʻoia i nā kiʻi o nā moʻo a me nā jaguars o nā luakini i wāwahi ʻia e nānā ʻia e pale aku i nā ʻuhane aloha i noho mau ma laila i kona nalo ʻana. Pēlā nō, ua hōʻoia ka Benizáa e haʻalele i ka ʻike ʻia o nā koa nui i kālai ʻia i nā pōhaku kupapaʻu e hoʻoweliweli i ka poʻe ʻaihue. Lawe lākou i nā pulumi a kahili i ko lākou mau hale no ka manawa hope loa, e pili ana i ka maʻemaʻe e hōʻike ana i ko lākou haku nui a me nā kāhuna, a waiho pono i nā mōhai liʻiliʻi i ko lākou wahi noho.
Ua wahī nā kāne, nā wahine a me nā keiki i kā lākou mau peni liʻiliʻi, kā lākou mea kaua, nā pono hana, nā ipu lepo a me kekahi mau ipu o ko lākou akua i nā kapa moe e hele pū me lākou i kā lākou huakaʻi, a ua hoʻomaka lākou i ke ala i kahi ola maopopo ʻole. Pēlā ko lākou ʻehaʻeha ke hele lākou ma ka luakini nui o nā Koa, i ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka Great Plaza, ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike i ke kupapaʻu o kahi ʻelemakule i make wale i ka malu o kahi lāʻau a waiho ʻia ma hope. nā makani ʻehā, ma ke ʻano he hōʻike wahaheʻe i ka hopena o ke kaapuni o ka mana a me ka hanohano.
Me nā waimaka i ko lākou mau maka ke hele wāwae nei lākou i nā ala hele mua i nā ala leʻaleʻa o nā mea kālepa. ʻO ke kaumaha, ua huli lākou e nānā hope loa i ko lākou kūlanakauhale aloha, a i kēlā manawa ua ʻike nā haku ʻaʻole ʻo ia i make, e hoʻomaka ana ʻo Dani Báa mai ka manawa i ka make ʻole.
