Today we are going to remember the history of this place, the history(Cast.) is the history(MT).

juiti vechoyore eto to taye'e ... istoria te pjoka , taye'e istoria eto taye'e 'chojriikowo .

In the past, in the old days, when our ancestors looked for this town,

kopeni te to konewokaeni te to ... no viochkonini te to natankopuiji pjoka 'wosaree'i ,

where we live now, the town of Trinidad, here lived the indigenous people, like me.

viowrikoo'i juiti , 'wósare Trinra , ene eno tkowsano eno no indijenano nkutgiene .

They were the first authorities in the past, in the old days.

eno ... nowgieñonini kparaakonini te to ... kopeni te to konewokaeni .

and they were looking for it (the town), the poor indigenous people.

ene eno ... eno ttankonri'i , eno no powriono indijenano .

Now this town has grown big, now this town is Trinidad.

juiti pjoka 'wósare 'choperipo , juiti pjoka 'wósare / Trinra .

And when they came out here, they named this place where Almacen is (today).

ene te to tyuchkompuiji te pjoka naejarechri'i pjoka tow'o pjoka Almasen .

They named it "the rainbow", "rainbow", there was the location of the rainbow.

ene naejarechri'i to o'ekure , o'ekure , ene towris'owri'i eto to arko iri .

They named it "the rainbow"

ene to naejarecho to o'ekure chu .

It was hearing the...um... the people, whenever they were approaching, it was smelling their odor.

tasamuiji to ... manje'e ... no 'chañono , te to naetekpo'okyorenovepuiji tajukpuka tomuire to naep'a .

And it always rained, there was thunder and um... lightning, and it rained heavily.

ene tgiwnovepuiji , tekchárako eto to manje'e ... to 'maare , ene mraka tgiwo ,

Then they were scared, they ran, our ancestors, but they bravely made efforts

ene tpikokwonri'ojno , tyjunopono , eno no viochkonini pero eno nakomesajiikorichjicha chu eno ,

Our ancestors too, they were not cowards,

eno no viochkonini nomuire , wo taptuujono nomuire chu ,

they smoked the rolled cigarettes,... here, here, we have always smoked the tobacco we grow, they made their rolls of tobacco, and they were smoking it.

tsapkompuiji to nayroko to pjoka pjoka siempre to vsapiiko pjoka saware vsukre , vsukre , vsukcho tomuire pjoka saware , naepiako to maso , ene eno tsapiikonri'i .

This is what I know today, gentlemen, what our elders have always told, of the search for this town.

takee'i juiti tatanoviono , te to ... to nechogiene , to naechjis'onve eno viochkonini , te to natansirari'i pjoka 'wósare .

And this lake here, they called it Laguna Suarez.

ene etoripo pjuena kogiure naejarechri'i Laguna Suare .

We call it lake.

ene viti vijarecho kogiure .

It (the rainbow) chased them, um... it (the lake) was foaming, it is um... that's its way of being angry.

taponojoknoveri'iji manje'e tkososomri'i eto to manje'e tasemowo eto .

People did not know the rainbows yet, um... they were still bad, they were chasing our ancestors.

chu wich'o taemotri'i eno 'chañonri'i eno o'iono manje'erich'o winarajonrich'o takojnopokri'i eno viochkonini .

And what I know is that our ancestors um... they were not cowards.

ene to njitgiene eno no viochkonini manje'e eno wo taptuujono eno .

And they kept moving until they sank. They tamed the lake. It became docile.

ene nanosjirichjicha ajta to nasiopuekpuiji ; pjuena kogiuree'i masupo najichri'i , masupo .

and there was its things.

ene etjo to tayeeruwonri'i .

and... they say, this is what they tell.

ene ... nako'ero eto naechjis'o .

Now there are no more ancestors, they died.

juiti najinapotsero eno ... eno viochkonini tepenonripo

but there is always a... one who knows how things went, and he tells maybe truthfully that it was like that.

pero emja ma ... ma techo to tnekpogne'o ene muechjis'o je'chupka te to ene ... ene takee'i .

And we were younger, it was in the past, when I grew up.

ene viti 'moyponono , etjo kopeni te to nutiripo te to njuukopo .

and well, this is what they were always telling about my grand-father.

ene bueno naechjis'onve ema ma nochkini .

And after that, one day, we went... I was a man then, I went to work.

ene takeptsero kope vyompo 'jironupo nñompo nkemtónepo .

And this I haven't worked on, on whatever of the stories, or something else de.. um...

ene wipo etina ( na... ) nakemtoneji to tajpuka taye'ono to 'chojriikowono , ponapo eto to manje'eri'i ,

And now with my living here in the Trinidad town

ene juititsero te to nowrisra te pjoka 'wósare Trinra .

and there were thinking (in these things) too.

ene enjoo'i no manje'e tkopneriijono nomuire .

She, this sister, she lives in France, and she's been thinking of this too.

esuripo psuka yporape tkowsa te to Franse , ene skopneriijii'i somuire .

He was the first local authority, of the time I am telling in the past, and this relative of us was Pedro Ignacio Muiva.

emaripo ma mawgiene kparaakaeni , te to njitgiene te to konewokaeni / ene ema vjañonini Pedro Ignacio Muivuenri'i .

Now he was strong, in the past, he was defending this town.

juiti ema 'tumeri'i / kopeni ema / tkotyuchri'iniji pjoka 'wósare .

and when they hated him, they were really hateful.

ene te to nakotichopuiji , eno tkotichonri'i .

So now something because he... um... there is that um... statue near that platform.

tako'e juiti algo te to ema manje'eri'i , jenja pjuena maye'e estatua tachokio pjuena plataforma .

And, and.. this... our relative the late Pedro Ignacio Muiva.

ene ene jmaro ... ma vjañonini Pedro Ignacio Muivueni .

and his stories, when... they had him killed, when um... they killed him.

ene to maye'e 'chojriikowono te to , eto ... ( timkopachoo'i ) [ timkopareko ...] te to manje'e nakopakopo .

Like Jesus Christ, they made things, they crucified him when they took him in order to beat him with the whip.

kutri'i ma jesukristo , najichri'i nakajapowikri'i te to nompuiji te to naestakri'i te to chkote .

They mistreated him, there was no one to defend him.

naemponnojkoo'i , najnapo te to tkotyuchari'i .

And there they took him, on the route to San Pedro.

ene eneji naemyon'o te pjuena tayonroku te to San Pedro .

There is where they msitreated the poor late Pedro Ignacio Muiva.

eneji te to naemponnojsi'ri'i ema powre viya Pedro Ignacio Muivueni .

And there was also the other authority of over there where I was born, a place called San Lorenzo de Mojos, there was also late Sir Santos Noco Guaji, he... they... um... they... were students in the old days.

ene emapo ma pona kparaakaeni te pjuena nutsine San Lorenzo de Mojo najichgieneri'i / emapo viya Santos Noko Wajinri'i , emarichu ema , eno ... manje'e ... eno ... 'esturiarekonri'i te to konewokaeni .

So they could understand him (because he spoke Spanish) when um... he was defending our relatives.

tako'e ema eno techemra'onri'i eno te to manje'e makotyuchwokri'i eno vjañonono .

In the past, in the days when the whip was still used,

kopeni te to chkotemu'rich'o ,

our relatives were slaves, they were slaves, our poor relatives

eno no vjañonono eskravonri'ini , eskravonri'ini eno no vjañonchichano .

They mistreated them, they employed him (exploited him), they were weeding (the fields), they were doing their tasks, they told.

naemponnojkoo'i , ( naempatron ... nkopatrononri'i ...) naempatronrikri'i , tiso'onri'i , nave'ri'i to tarea , nako'e .

So when they weren't um... finishing their chores then they were whippinh them, they were mistreating our poor relatives.

tako'e to wo'ojno manje'ena ... naeta to naye'e tarea ene naestakri'i , naemponnojko no powre vjañonini .
