Ua ʻelemakule wau, ʻumikūmākahi a me kumamākolu oʻu mau makahiki o kaʻu mau keiki, lawa kūpono no lākou e aʻo i nā mea āpau e pili ana i ka hana a ka potera.
Kōkua kaʻu mau kaikamahine iaʻu, akā pono lākou e aʻo i ka hana hale me ko lākou makuahine no ka mea e lilo ana lākou i ka makahiki male a mālama pono i kā lākou kāne a me ko lākou mau home. Ua aʻo mua wau i kaʻu mau keiki pehea e hoʻomākaukau ai i ka pālolo e hana i nā pā a mākou e hoʻohana ai i ka nohona o kēlā me kēia lā, e like me nā ipuhao kahi e hoʻomākaukau ai ka meaʻai, nā kīʻaha kahi e lawelawe ʻia ai nā meaʻai a me nā griddles no nā tortilla; Me kēia mau mea kūʻai aku mākou i ka tianguis, i mea e loaʻa ai nā huahana i lawe ʻia mai nā wahi ʻē aʻe, e laʻa me ke kalo mai Papaloapan.
I kēia manawa ua hele mai nā ʻohana o ke poʻo nui o ke kaona e noi i nā ipu no nā hana e mālama ʻia ai kona make, e loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa kūpono e aʻo aku iā lākou i nā mea huna a pau e hana i nā moku kahi i puhi ʻia ai ke kope e puhi i ke kino. o ka mea i make; ʻO nā mea nui loa nā kīʻaha, nā ipu hao, nā pā a me nā aniani kahi e hāʻawi ʻia ai ka meaʻai i waiho ʻia i loko o nā hale kupapaʻu a e hele aku nā mea make i ke ala o ka honua o Mictlan.
ʻApōpō e haʻalele mākou ma mua o ka wanaʻao e nānā i nā pono e pono ai, e like me ka pālolo a me nā kala.
E nānā, e nā keiki, pono mākou e nānā no ka pālolo kūpono loa, no ka mea ma hope mākou e kāwili ʻia ia me nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me ke one a me nā ʻōpala mai nā wahi hana obsidian a me mica, maikaʻi ka lepo i maʻalahi ka pālolo e hoʻohālikelike, e ʻae ai iā mākou e hana nā ipu hao lahilahi, nā ʻāpana o ka maikaʻi maikaʻi, ikaika a kūpaʻa.
No ka poli ʻana i nā ʻāpana, hoʻohana ʻia nā agate i loaʻa i ka ʻāina o nā kuahiwi, a haʻalele i ka ʻili o ka ipu me ka laulā ʻole, ʻokoʻa ka wā e hoʻohana ʻia ai ka cob o ka cob corn.
Lawe mākou i ka pena e hoʻonaninani ai i nā moku mai kekahi mau pōhaku, e like me ka malachite, kahi i haki i hana i nā kala ʻōmaʻomaʻo; he ocher a melemele paha ko nā pōhaku ʻē aʻe, no ka mea he hao ko lākou; hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi i ke kala keʻokeʻo mai ka pōhaku lime a ʻeleʻele mai ka lanahu a i ke tar.
Mai kekahi mau mea kanu, e like me ka limu a me ka indigo, hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi i nā kala no kā mākou ipu hao; ʻoiai nā holoholona e like me ka mealybug hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā kala.
Hana ʻia nā palaki e pena i nā mea me ka hulu manu a i ʻole ka lauoho holoholona e like me ka lāpaki a me ka dia.
E nānā, e nā keiki, he mea nui kēia na ʻoukou e ʻike ai, no ka mea, me kēia mau pena kiʻi i hoʻonani ʻia nā moku o nā heiau ma nā male male a me nā hoʻolewa o nā mea kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, a he mea nui ia i hana maikaʻi ʻia ai, no ka mea e hāʻawi ke akua iā lākou i ka mea ʻoi loa.
Hoʻohana ʻia nā mea a mākou e hana ai i nā manawa nui a pau o ko mākou ola, akā ʻo nā mea i hoʻonani ʻia me nā hiʻohiʻona o nā akua nā mea e pono e mālama ʻia me ka mālama nui loa.
He manaʻo ko nā kiʻi i kau ʻia ma luna o nā ipu hao a pono ʻoe e aʻo ia mea, no ka mea e like me kaʻu e mālama nei i kēia mau mea, i kekahi lā e kuleana ʻoe i ka ukali ʻana i kēia kālepa a hāʻawi aku i kāu poʻe keiki. He potera koʻu makuakāne, a he potera wau no ka mea ua aʻo koʻu makuakāne iaʻu, e lilo ʻoe i potera a aʻo aku ia i kāu poʻe keiki.
ʻO nā kiʻi aʻu e hana ai i loko o kēia mau moku ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea gula, nā mea ulana lole, nā mea e kalai pōhaku a me ka wahie; ʻO lākou nā hiʻohiʻona o nā pua, nā manu a me nā holoholona āpau e ola nei i ka lewa, ka wai a me ka honua, a i ʻole nā hana a mākou e hana ai, a ua kope ʻia lākou mai ke kaiapuni e hoʻopuni iā mākou.
He manaʻo ko kēia mau mea āpau a ʻo kēia ka mea e aʻo ai ka poʻe iā lākou ka naʻauao a me ka ʻike o ka honua, nā kūpuna, nā kāhuna a me nā Tlacuilos iā mākou, no ka mea, ʻo ia ke ala e hōʻike ai i ko mākou mau akua, a ma kēia ʻano hiki iā lākou E hoʻouna i nā potera ʻōpio a me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe, e like me kaʻu e hana nei me ʻoe.
I ka wā a koʻu makuakāne i aʻo mai ai iaʻu e pili ana i ka hana ipu lepo, ma ko mākou kaona, aia kekahi mau hale a ua kōkua wau i koʻu kupuna kāne ʻaʻole wale no ka hana ʻana i nā ipu lepo, akā no ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana i kekahi hapa o ka lā i nā hana i nā mahiʻai, e like me ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā ipu lepo. ʻāina no ke kanu ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kanu, a ua hoʻohana mākou i ka manawa kūpono e nānā no nā wahi kahi kahi lepo maikaʻi a i ʻole e ʻohiʻohi i ka wahie i moʻa ai nā ʻāpana.
I kēlā mau lā, lawe ʻia nā mea a pau a mākou i hana ai i nā mākeke o Huajuapan a i ʻole Tututepec e kūʻai aku no nā huahana ʻē aʻe. I kēia manawa hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolaʻa i ka hapa nui o ka lā i ka hana ʻana i nā keramika, no ka mea ua ulu ke kūlanakauhale a mākou e noho nei a noi ʻia nā mea āpau iā mākou ma aneʻi.
Aia kekahi mau ʻano ʻenehana i ka hoʻohālike pālolo a pili ia i ka ʻāpana āu e makemake ai e hana; ʻO kahi laʻana, e hana i ka ipuhao, hana ʻia nā ʻāpana o ka pālolo a laila hoʻopili ʻia i loko o kahi wili, a hoʻopili liʻiliʻi ʻia me nā manamana lima, a pēlā e hana ai i ke kino o ka ipuhao. I ka manawa e loaʻa iā mākou ke kinona holoʻokoʻa, e hoʻomaʻalili ʻia ka ʻeneki o ka ipuhao me kahi cob e holoi i nā laina o nā hono.
I ke aʻo ʻana a koʻu kupuna kāne i koʻu makuakāne i ka hoʻomākaukau a kuke ʻana i ka ipu lepo, hana lākou i waho; ʻO ka mea mua, hoʻomaʻemaʻe kahi ākea kahi kahi mea ʻē aʻe e hiki ke puhi ʻia, hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia kekahi mea ma luna o kekahi a kau ʻia nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi ma waena o kekahi ipuhao a me kahi mea ʻē aʻe e pale iā lākou mai ka pili ʻana i ka wā kuke ʻana; Ma hope, ua hoʻopuni ʻia ka paina wahie āpau a puhi ʻia i ke ahi, akā ma kēia ʻano he nui nā ʻāpana i hōʻino ʻia no ka mea ʻaʻole i moʻa pono, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke ahi a puhi ʻia, a ʻaʻohe lawa nā mea kuke a koe iho maka a haki.
Eia nō naʻe, i kēia manawa ua kau ʻia nā ʻāpana i loko o kahi umu ahi i ʻeli ʻia i ka honua a waiho ʻia kahi ea liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa, kahi e komo ai ka ea i puhi ʻia ka wahie, ʻoiai e uhi ʻia ka ʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe me nā ʻāpana o nā ʻāpana haki i mea e pale aku ai i ka wela mai ka wela a like ka mahana ma loko o ka umu; Me kēia ʻano hana, ʻaʻole hoʻolilo hou ʻia ka nui o nā mea. Ke aʻo lākou e hoʻohālikelike a hoʻomoʻa maikaʻi, e aʻo wau iā lākou e poli a pena.
