Manco Capac: and the Sickle of Death [NOW! in Spanish and English]

!±8± Manco Capac: and the Sickle of Death [NOW! in Spanish and English]

Manco Cápac:

And the Sickle of Death

(1)

Manco Capac lived a long, long life,

If measured, longer than any man alive

But even to him came the cup of death

The Master of the Sun, the Sun God

Called to 'The son of no race,' bright

As the sun and most, most handsome:

"Commander, go down and tell

Manco Capac about his death to be,

So he may arrange for deposition...

A declaration of his possessions

For I have made him a rich man--

The wealth of servants and plenty"

Thus, the commander left his abode

Earth bound, and went down to

Manco Capac at the foot of the Andes

There he found this righteous man

In the nearby fields with his servants:

"Hail, hail, hail, Father of the Incas!

"I come from the Golden City of the

Sun, sent by the Great King of Heaven,

To provide for your successor (departure)

Manco Capac and the Commander

Walked by a huge rock, it talked, said,

In a human soft spoken voice:

"Holy, holy, is the God of the Sun,

For He summons you, and loves you--

Loves and wants you to come home!"

Manco Capac pretended not to hear

To hear, as he and the Commander

Walked, and talked, in the courtyard...

(2)

Manco Capac's servant said (with awe),

To Mama Ocllo (his devoted wife):

"The Commander who is with your husband

...is not of our race, nor lives on this earth."

Manco Capac then washed the feet of

The Commander; after that, saw a wonder:

The tears of the Commander turned

Into drops of silver and gold--mixed.

Pure silver and pure gold--mixed.

(3)

Then the Commander rose in a clap of an

...eye, and stood in front of God and said:

"Master, Lord, I cannot bring death

...upon the house of Manco Capac;

For he is the mot gracious, truthful

And merciful man alive on earth--"

The Lord said to the Commander:

"Go down and keep him company;

Eat with him, and do as he asks...

I will give you an all devouring spirit

--and I will send the Holy Spirit of God

And a dream unto his servant (to interpret)"

(4)

And so it was, the Commander sat

With Manco Capac, at his table and

Prayed and ate with him according

...to custom; and they rested the same.

And so it was, the servant wished to

Remain with Manco Capac, but could not

...he was told to go rest, it was his wish.

In the middle of the night the servant

Woke up on the fourth hour, in fright

...he had had a vision, heard Death talking;

Thus, he run to Manco Capac, and cried:

"Death has come!" and Manco cried...

and so did the Commander cry--.

Mama Ocllo then left her room,

Found everyone in tears, and she cried,

but asked: "Why is everyone crying?"

When Mama Ocllo heard the Commander

Speak she knew he was set apart, holy.

(5)

Said Mama, to her much-loved husband:

"Do you not know who this man is?"

Then Manco Capac thought and spoke:

"I have lied; I know he is very sacred--

A Holy Messenger, from the Sun...

I see his brightness, of all things."

And Mama Ocllo knelt down and cried:

"Glory be to God, who is bright--

With wonders--; and husband," she asked,

"Let us now look at the revelation

Before us; be it for good or evil? and

Glory be to God, who is like the sun--"

(6)

Then Manco Capac left his wife to talk

...to his servant about his vision;

Said the servant with fear and wonder:

"I saw all the stars turn into the sun;

I saw the sun turn into a man;

And he was, descending to earth."

And Manco Capac, knew all the stars being one

Was his God, and the sun was the light

The Commander was bringing to him...

from the Almighty. And the Commander

Said, "It is time for you to leave earth...

Journey to God in the form of your soul";

Said Manco Capac: "Is it you then

Who desires to take my soul from me?"

Said the Commander with estrangement:

"I am God's messenger, announcing

...God's intentions." Then the Commander

Disappeared; went back into the heavens!...

(7)

The Commander told the Almighty Master

All that took place, and all that was said.

God then told the Commander, "Ask him

Why he is resisting Me; and not one of my

Prophets have escaped the mystery of death.

All have been gathered by the Sickle of Death (?)"

(8)

And with the Commander God sent Death

And it came to pass, soon after Manco Capac

Seen Death dressed up in Great Beauty...:

And Death greeted him, as if to seduce

Him with beautiful words; but Manco Capac

Call Death, "Liar, Death is not beautiful."

But Death said, "To the righteous

I am beautiful, to the sinner--decay...,

Do not be deceived, to the sinner

...I bring much fear, destruction, dismay;

And to you, blessed man, a crown of honor!..."

And Death showed him two heads; one called

...decay, it had a dragon's face. The other

Like a golden Tumi, bright as the sun.

And Death said, "Go with the Commander."

(9)

And Manco Capac, said to Death, "Show

Me now your hands," and Death did. In

One hand he had a Golden Tumi, and

...in the other was the keys to the gates

Of the Sun; then the Inca prophet knelt

Prayed to the Almighty, closing his eyes;

And Death called to God, clutching the

Moment...: as God looked down, He snatched

His soul, and drew him up to his kingdom.

Notes by the Author [note #1]: "In l993, I had two heart attacks--one bad one, and bad stroke, the stroke I had during surgery that doctors said, "You were a fruitcake," meaning, I was destroyed by the stroke on the operating table, at that time, and afterwards, my left side paralyzed and much more. Each day for three days, I saw a huge man standing at the end of my bed, thinking it was the doctor, only to find out, it was not; he was there early in the mornings, about 5:00 AM., by himself; I was able on the third day to read again, prior to this, words and letters were distorted, nor could I figure out the numbers on a telephone. It took me three months to learn how to play the guitar again, and at the time, I had played the guitar for 35-years; the point being here, is that Death perhaps was waiting in a white gown? There are 72-deaths, so it has been written. And as we all know, it has been appointed to man to die, be he a believer in God or not; somebody has made this decision, or something. And so in writing this poetic story, I knew how death would knock on Manco Capac's door; and perhaps this was how it happened."

Note #2: It should be noted also that, Manco Capac ordered the construction of a structure, consisting of three windows, at his birth site, so legend would have it; such as one might see at the archeological site of Machu Picchu; thus, it had been pointed out, he most likely came from there.

Manco Cápac:

Y la hoz de la muerte

(1)

Manco Cápac vivió una vida larga, larga,

De ser medida, más larga que cualquier hombre

vivo. Pero aún para él llegó la copa de la muerte.

El Amo del sol, el dios Sol,

Llamó a "El hijo de ninguna raza" brillante

Como el sol y más, más hermoso:

"Comendador, baja y dile a

Manco Cápac acerca de su muerte que será,

Así él puede organizar su relevo.

Una declaración de sus bienes

Ya que lo he hecho un hombre rico--

El más rico en sirvientes y abundancia.

Así el Comendador dejó su morada

Y se dirigió a la tierra, y fue hacia

Manco Cápac a los pies de Los Andes.

Allí, el encontró a este hombre honrado

En los campos cercanos con sus criados:

"¡te saludo, te saludo, te saludo, Padre de los Incas!"

"Vengo, desde la Ciudad Dorada del Sol,

Enviado por el Gran Rey del Cielo

Para proveerte de tu sucesor (por tu partida)

Manco Cápac y el Comendador

Caminaron por una enorme roca, ésta habló, dijo

En una voz suavemente humana:

" ¡Santo, santo, es el Dios del sol, por

Emplazarte, y amarte- Amarte

Y querer que tú vengas a casa!"

Manco Cápac, pretendió no oír

oír, mientras él y el Comendador

Caminaban, y hablaban, en el patio...

(2)

Los sirvientes de Manco Cápac dijeron (con temor)

A Mama Ocllo (su esposa fiel)

"...el Comendador quien está con tu esposo

...no es de nuestra raza, ni vive en esta tierra."

Manco Cápac luego lavó los pies

Del Comendador; después de esto, vio un milagro:

Las lágrimas del comendador se volvieron

En gotas de plata y oro--mezclados.

Pura plata y puro oro--mezclados.

(3)

Luego el Comendador se elevó en un guiño de ojo...

Y estuvo enfrente de Dios y dijo:

"Amo y Señor, no puedo traer la muerte

..sobre la casa de Manco Cápac;

Por que él es el más amable, honesto

Y misericordioso hombre vivo sobre la tierra--"

El Señor le dijo al Comendador:

"Ve abajo y mantén compañía con él,

Come con él, y haz lo que él te pida--

Yo te daré todo un espíritu devorador

--y enviaré al Espíritu Santo de Dios

Y sobre sus servidores un sueño (para interpretar)"

(4)

Y así, esto fue, el Comendador se sentó

Con Manco Cápac, en su mesa

y rezó y comió con él según

...sus costumbres, y ellos descansaron igual.

Y fue así, que el sirviente deseó

Permanecer con Manco Cápac, pero no pudo

...él fue dicho ir a descansar, éste era su deseo--

En el medio de la noche, el criado

Se despertó, en la cuarta hora, en temor

...él había tenido una visión, oyó a la muerte hablando;

Así, el corrió hacia Manco Cápac, y gritó:

"La muerte ha venido" y Manco Cápac, lloró...

y así también el Comendador lloró--.

Mama Ocllo luego dejó su cuarto,

Encontrando a todos en lágrimas, y ella lloró,

pero preguntó: "¿Por qué todos están llorando?"

Cuando Mama Ocllo oyó al comendador

Hablar, ella supo que él era santificado, santo.

(5)

Dijo, Mama, a su esposo muy amado:

"¿Tú no sabes quién es este hombre?"

Luego Manco Cápac pensó, y habló:

"he mentido; yo sé que el es muy sagrado--

Un mensajero santo, del Sol...

Veo resplandor, de todas las cosas".

Y Mama Ocllo se arrodilló y lloró:

"Gloria sea a Dios, que es radiante--

Con maravillas--; y esposo", ella pregunto,

"Déjanos, ahora mirar la revelación

Ante nosotros; sea eso para ¡bien o mal! y

Gloria sea a Dios, Quien es como el sol--"

(6)

Luego Manco Cápac, dejo a su esposa hablar

--con su sirviente acerca de su visión;

Dijo el sirviente con temor y maravillado:

"Vi todas las estrellas convertirse en sol;

Vi al sol convertirse en hombre;

Y él estaba, descendiendo a la tierra".

Y Manco Cápac, supo que todas las estrellas siendo uno

Era su Dios, y el sol era la luz que el

Comendador estaba trayendo para él...

del todopoderoso. Y el Comendador

Dijo, "Este es tiempo para ti, de dejar la tierra...

Viajar hacia Dios en forma de tu alma";

Dijo Manco Cápac, "Entonces eres tú quien desea

tomar mi alma"

Dijo el comendador con extrañeza;

"Yo soy el mensajero de Dios, anunciando

..las intenciones de Dios". Luego el Comendador

Desapareció. ¡Regreso al cielo!...

(7)

El Comendador dijo al Dios todopoderoso

Todo lo que ocurrió, y todo lo que fue dicho.

Dios entonces dijo al Comendador, " pregúntale a él

Porqué esta resistiéndose a Mi; y ninguno de mis

Profetas ha escapado del misterio de la muerte.

Todos han sido atrapados por la Hoz de la Muerte (¿?)"

(8)

Y con el Comendador, Dios envió la muerte

Y ésta vino a pasar, pronto después que Manco Cápac

Vio la muerte vestida en Gran Belleza...;

Y la muerte lo saludó, como si lo sedujera

Con palabras bellas; pero Manco Cápac

Llamó a la muerte "Mentirosa, la muerte no es bella".

Pero la muerte dijo; "para el honrado

soy bella, para el pecador--podredumbre..,

No seas engañado, por el pecador

...Yo traigo mucho miedo, destrucción, consternación;

Y para ti, hombre bendito, ¡una corona de honor!...

Y la muerte le mostró dos cabezas, una llamada

.. putrefacción, ésta tenia la cara de dragón. El otro

Como un Tumi de oro, brillante como el sol.

Y la muerte dijo, "Ve con el Comendador"

(9)

Y Manco Cápac, dijo a la muerte "Muéstrame

Ahora tus manos", y la muerte lo hizo. En

Una mano él tenia un Tumi de oro, en la

....Otra mano estaban las llaves de las puertas del sol;

entonces el inca profeta se arrodilló

Rezó al Todopoderoso, cerrando sus ojos;

Y la muerte llamó a Dios, agarrando el

Momento...: mientras Dios miraba abajo, El

arrebató su alma y lo elevó hacia su Reino.
