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 Quich� 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 Quich�s | |
| |
| |
And there were also two lineages of Zaquic lords | |
| |
| |
Then splendor and majesty grew among the Quich� | |
| |
| |
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 Quich� lords | |
| |
| |
And here are those of the Greathouses | |
| |
| |
And now these are for the Lord Quich�s | |
| |
| |
And there are three Masters of Ceremonies in all | |
| |
| |
This is enough about the being of Quich�Notes and Comments | |
