Spanish Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl into Spanish by Fr. Bernardino de Sahagún; transcription of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] [f. 33r.] como el agua quando llueue: y todo el patio estaua sembrado de cabeças, y braços, y tripas, y cuerpos de hombres muertos y por todos los rincones buscauā los españoles a los que estauan biuos para matarlos: como salio la fama deste hecho por la ciudad comēçaron a dar voz diziendo alarma! Alarma! y luego a estas vozes se junto gran copia de gente todos con sus armas y començaron a pelear cōtra los españoles
English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] come out any more. When this had been done, they went into the temple courtyard to kill people. Those whose assignment it was to do the killing just went on foot, each with his metals word and his leather shield, some of them iron-studded. Then they surrounded those who were dancing, going among the cylindrical drums. They struck a drummer’s arms; both his hands were severed. Then they struck his neck; his head landed far away. Then they stabbed everyone with iron lances and struck them with irons words. They stuck some in the belly, and then their entrails came spilling out. They split open the heads of some, they really cut their skulls to pieces, their skulls were cut up into little bits. And some they hit on the shoulders; their bodies broke open and ripped. Some they hacked on the calves, some on the thighs, some on their bellies, and then all [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] like water when it rains. The whole square was strewn with heads, arms, intestines, and dead bodies. The Spaniards searched in all the corners for those alive, to kill them. When word of this deed got out into the city, they began to call out, saying, "To amis! To arms!" At this shouting a large number of people assembled, all with their weapons, and they began to fight against the Spaniards.
