Preface


Introduction



This is the beginning of the Ancient Word


This is the account


Now they planned the animals of the mountains


And then the deer and birds were told


Again there comes an experiment with the human work


Then comes the naming of those who are the midmost seers


Again there comes a humiliation


This was when there was just a trace of early dawn



Here is the beginning of the defeat and destruction of the day of Seven Macaw


And here is the shooting of Seven Macaw by the two boys


And here are the deeds of Zipacna


Now this is the defeat and death of Zipacna


And the third to magnify himself is the second son of Seven Macaw, named Earthquake



And now we shall name the name of the father of Hunahpu and Xbalanque


And these are the lords over everything


And now for the messengers of One and Seven Death


After that One and Seven Hunahpu left


And One and Seven Hunahpu went inside Dark House


And here is the account of a maiden


And after the maiden was noticed by her father


And when Blood Moon came to the mother of One Monkey and One Artisan


And this is their birth; we shall tell of it here


And then they sang, they played, they drummed


And now they began to act out their self-revelation


So now there was fire in their hearts


Happy now, they went to play ball at the court


They went down to Xibalba


First they entered Dark House


And after that, the boys next entered Razor House


And now they entered Cold House


So next they entered Jaguar House


So next they entered the midst of the fire


Now they were put inside Bat House


And here it is: the epitaph, the death of Hunahpu and Xbalanque


This is the making of the oven


And on the fifth day they reappeared


And they came to the lords


And this is the sacrifice of little Hunahpu by Xbalanque


And then they named their names


And this is their grandmother, crying and calling out in front of the ears of green corn


And here their father is put back together by them



And here is the beginning of the conception of humans


These are the names of the first people who were made and modeled


And then their wives and women came into being


And this is our root, we who are the Quichï¿½ people


And this is the name of the mountain where they went


They walked in crowds when they arrived at Tulan, and there was no fire


When they came away from Tulan Zuyua


And then they came away, just camping on the road


And then Tohil, along with Auilix and Hacauitz, spoke to them


And here is the dawning and showing of the sun, moon, and stars


And there began their song named "Camacu"And here they burn their copal


And then comes the killing of the tribes


First the tribes tried to plan the defeat of Tohil, Auilix, and Hacauitz


And they sent the two of them, named Lust Woman and Wailing Woman


And here is the joining together of all the tribes


And then Jaguar Quitze, Jaguar Night, Not Right Now, and Dark Jaguar had a plan


And these are the ones who were there: Jaguar Quitze, Jaguar Night, Not Right Now, and Dark Jaguar


Now this is where we shall tell about the death of Jaguar Quitze, Jaguar Night, Not Right Now, and Dark Jaguar



And then they remembered what had been said about the east


And then they came before the lord named Nacxit


And then they came to a place where they founded a citadel named Thorny Place


And Bearded Place is the name of the mountain of their citadel


And then they got up and came to the citadel of Rotten Cane


And here are the titles of the lords who led the Cauecs


And now these are the lords who led the Greathouses


And now these are the Lord Quichï¿½s


And there were also two lineages of Zaquic lords


Then splendor and majesty grew among the Quichï¿½


And here are the names of the sixth generation of lords


After that came the sentries


And now we shall name the names of the houses of the gods


And this is the cry of their hearts


And here are the generations, the sequences of lordships


And here shall appear the faces, one by one, of each of the Quichï¿½ lords


And here are those of the Greathouses


And now these are for the Lord Quichï¿½s


And there are three Masters of Ceremonies in all


This is enough about the being of Quichï¿½Notes and Comments
