I. Chapter 2
Then they made the small wild animals, the guardians of the woods, the spirits of the mountains, the deer, the birds, pumas, jaguars, serpents, snakes. vipers, guardians of the thickets[Then they designed the baby wild animals, the guardians of the woods, the exalted spirits of the all mountains, jaguars, pumas, the birds, toxicant vipers, nontoxic snakes, serpents, the small or big deers and guardians of the typical underbrushes].
And the Forefathers asked: 'Shall there be only silence and calm under the trees, under the
vines? It is well that hereafter there be someone to guard them."[And the Forefathers began questioning: 'Shall there existed alone joy and namelessness under the trees, under the vines? It is well that hereafter there existed a person to brilliantly guard them."]
So they said when they meditated and talked. Promptly the deer and the birds were created.[In this way they said when they began meditating and expressing. At once the muntjak and numerous birds were brought into existence.]
[At once they began giving homes to the deer in company with numerous birds.]immediately they gave homes to the deer and the birds. ["You, deer, is bound to sleep in the grasslands next to the river bank and also in the ravines. Here you shall be amongst the jungle, amid the pasture; in the woods you shall increase exponentially, you are obliged to walk on four feet legs and they will sustain you. Thus be it done!" Ergo it was they explained. Also they judged families to the birds big and small.]"You, deer, shall sleep in the fields by the river bank and in the ravines. Here you shall be amongst the thicket, amongst the pasture; in the woods you shall multiply, you shall walk on four feet and they will support you. Thus be it done!" So it was they spoke.
Then they also assigned homes to the birds big and small. "You shall live in the trees and inthe vines. There you shall make your nests; there you shall multiply; there you shall increase in the branches of the trees and in the vines."["You shall exactly live among the trees, besides, among the leafy vines. There you shall build your nests; there you ought to increase exponentially; there you shall to increase in the branches of the jungle and amid the vines."] Thus the deer and the birds were told; they did their duty at once, and all sought their homes and their nests[The deer and the birds to that extent were communicated to; they abided by ongoingly, looked high and low their belonging homes and their nests].
And the creation of all the four-footed animals and the birds being finished, they were told by the Creator and the Maker and the Forefathers:[Next the creation of all the four-footed major animals likewise the exotic and common birds being finally finished, they were being told by the extraordinary Creator and the unobjectionable Maker as well as the exceptional Forefathers:]: "Speak, cry, warble, call, speak each one according to your variety, each, according to your kind."["Sob, sing, say, intone, speak each syllable according to your complexity, each sound, justifiably commensurate with your kind."] So was it said to the deer, the birds, pumas, jaguars, and serpents[Exactly in similar fashion was it being hypothesized to the nonidentical deer, pumas, serpents, the birds and jaguars].
"Speak, then, our names, praise us, your mother, your father. Invoke then, Huracán, ChipiCaculhá, Raxa-Caculhá, the Heart of Heaven, the Heart of Earth, the Creator, the Maker, the Forefathers; speak, invoke us, adore us," they were told["Next enunciate our majestic names, express admiration for us, your brilliant mother along with your father. Invoke, that being so, Raxa-Caculhá, ChipiCaculhá, the Creator, the unobjectionable Maker, superb Huracán, the exceptional Forefathers, the innermost being of Heaven, the holy faith of planet; verbalize, invoke us along with adore us," they were exceptionally told].
But they could not make them speak like men; they only hissed and screamed and cackled; they were unable to make words, and each screamed in a different way[But they could not judge all of them speak as men; they exclusively hissed along with bewailed and giggled; they were lacking the ability to acknowledge words, and each exclaimed in one or another way].
When the Creator and the Maker saw that it was impossible for them to talk to each other, they said: "It is impossible for them to say our names, the names of us, their Creators and Makers. This is not well," said the Forefathers to each other[Just at the same time as the extraordinary Creator and the brilliant Maker sighted that it was no way in them to verbalize everthing to each other, they expressed: "It is no way for them to ejaculate our names, the extraordinary names of their brilliant Creators along with Makers. Yet this is not good." said the brilliant progenitors to each other].
Then they said to them: "Because it has not been possible for you to talk, you shall be changed[Next they articulated to them: "Just cause main reason that it has been inextricable for you to verbalize, then you ought to be properly redesigned]. We have changed our minds: Your food, your pasture, your homes. and your nests you shall have[We have basically changed our inexperienced ratiocinations and judgments: Your daily meals, your extra fertile meadow, your beautiful lodgings and your nests, you will own]; they shall be the ravines and the woods, because it has not been possible for you to adore us or invoke us. There shall be those who adore us, we shall make other [beings] who shall be obedient[they shall be the ravines and the logs, because it has been paradoxical for you to justly admire us or exactly invoke us. There shall be those who brilliantly regard us, we are necessary to bring up other beings who shall be exceptionally obedient]. Accept your destiny: your flesh shall be tom to pieces. So shall it be. This shall be your lot."[Just admit the destiny of yours: your flesh shall be exterminated. So shall it be. This is driven to be your carriage." ]So they said, when they made known their will to the large and small animals which are on the face of the earth[In that way they said, when they made public their feeling to the extensive large along with small animals which are on the major lineaments of the earth].
