NICAN MOPOHUA
Here is told and set down in order how a short time ago the Perfect
Virgin Holy Mary Mother of God, our Queen, miraculously appeared out at
Tepeyac, widely known as Guadalupe.
First she caused herself to be seen by an Indian named Juan Diego, poor
but worthy of respect; and then her Precious Image appeared before the recently
named Bishop, Don Fray Juan de Zumárraga.

1. Ye yuh matlac xihuitl in opehualoc in atl in tepetl Mexico, in ye omoman in mitl in
   chimalli, in ye nohuian ontlamatcamani in ahuacan in tepehuacan.
   
   Ten years after the City of Mexico was conquered, with the arrows and shields
   put aside, when there was peace in all the towns,
   
2. in maca zan ye opeuh, ye xotla, ye cueponi in tlaneltoquiliztli, in iximachocatzin in
   Ipalnemohuani, nelli Teotl Dios.
   
   just as it sprouted, faith now grows green, now opens its corolla, the knowledge
   of the One by whom we all live: the true God.
   
3. In huel ihcuac in ipan xihuitl mil y quinientos y treinta y uno, quin iuh
   iquezquilhuioc in metztli Diciembre mochiuh: oncatca ce macehualtzintli
   icnotlapalzintli.
   
   At that time, the year 1531, a few days into the month of December, it happened
   that there was a humble but respected Indian, a poor man of the people;
   
4. itoca catca Juan Diego, iuh mitoa ompa chane Cuauhtitlan,
   
   his name was Juan Diego; He lived in Cuauhtitlán, as they say.
   
5. auh in ica Teoyotl , oc mochompa pohuia in Tlatilolco.
   
   And in all the things of God, he belonged to Tlaltelolco.
   
6. Auh Sábado catca, huel oc yohuatzinco, quihualtepotztocaya in Teoyotl ihuan in

   It was Saturday, not yet dawn; he was coming in pursuit of God and his
   commandments.
   
7. Auh in acico in inahuac tepetzintli in itocayocan Tepeyacac, ye tlatlalchipahua,
   
   And as he drew near the little hill called Tepeyac, it was beginning to dawn.
