prius itaque quam alter, qui nec procul aberat, consequi posset, et alterum Curiatium conficit.

And before the one, who was not far away, could follow, he killed the other Curiati as well.

iamque aequato Marte singuli supererant, sed nec spe nec viribus pares.

And now the fight was equal with one left over on each side, but equal neither in hope nor strength.

And that was not a battle.

ut primo statim concursu increpuere arma micantesque fulsere gladii, horror ingens spectantis perstringit;

As at once in their first encounter shields clanged and shining swords gleamed, vast dread deeply affected those watching;

ad quorum casum cum conclamasset gaudio Albanus exercitus, Romanas legiones iam spes tota, nondum tamen cura deseruerat,

At their deaths when the Alban army had cried out with joy, hope had now entirely [deserted] the Roman legion, however care had not deserted [them].

male sustinenti arma gladium superne iugulo Horatius defigit; iacentem spoliat.

Barely holding up his weapons, the Horatius drove the sword down into his throat from above; he stripped him lying down.

iam aliquantum spatii ex eo loco ubi pugnatum est aufugerat, cum respiciens videt magnis intervallis sequentes, unum haud procul ab sese abesse.

Now he had fled some distance from that place where it was fought, when he looking back saw them following with a great distance and that one was not far off from him.

Romanus exsultans "duos" inquit, "fratrum manibus dedi; tertium causae belli huiusce, ut Romanus Albano imperet, dabo."

The Roman, rejoicing, said, "I have given two brothers to the shades; I will give a third because of this war, so that the Romans may rule over the Albans."

alterum intactum ferro corpus et geminata victoria ferocem in certamen tertium dabat;

The body untouched by the sword and a double victory was giving the one fierce into a third fight;

consertis deinde manibus, cum iam non motus tantum corporum agitatioque anceps telorum armorumque sed vulnera quoque et sanguis spectaculo essent,

Then having connected in hand to hand battle, now when not only such movement of bodies and brandishing of the spears and shields on both sides but also bloody wounds were to be seen,

Then with a shout, such as is customary of supporters at an unexpected turn of events, the Romans helped their soldier and he hurried to finish the battle.
