In a short time the temples with colors

Of white and black of the two intermixed:

Red and yellow ones will carry off theirs from them,

Blood, land, plague, famine, fire, water distraught.

By sea and land a great uproar will be raised:

Naval battle will be very much greater,

The fires, animals, those who will cause greater insult.
