Ahtziquinahay, who are also descended from our ancestor. They came
to where the Ahtziquinahay were with their women, and designating
what they desired, they designated metals and spun stuff. When they
came, the Ahtziquinahay said (among themselves): "Let us make these
messengers of Tepeuh our sons-in-law. Truly their magic power is
terrible. But we will give them women, and we will take back what
they have designated." So they said, and none of the chiefs went
forth to Caybatz and Caynoh. These were frightened, lest some
should come during the night and the treasures they had collected
be stolen by the daughters of the chiefs. And indeed, these did
come secretly and stole the jar of treasures while (the brothers)
slept. They were the daughters of the chiefs Zuncunqun, Ganel,
Mayahauh and Puciahauh. Caynoh and Caybatz took them as wives;
Bubatzo was the name of one, Icxiuh of the other. Our ancestors not
seeing their treasure were filled with fear. They cried out: "You
have indeed, ruined us, oh ye Ahtziquinahay! Tepeuh will be angered
against us." They answered: "Be not frightened. We shall give you
wives; you shall be our sons-in-law; we will do you no evil; you
will go speak to Tepeuh and nothing will be said to you." Then
wives were given to them, and they went to speak with Tepeuh. But
they did not reach there, they feared to come before Tepeuh; so
they hid themselves in a cavern, and they retired into the cavern.
The place where they hid was called by Caynoh Pecparupec (a cave
within a cave).

54. Then they were sought for by the tribe. "We seek our rulers.
Where are they? We are truly afflicted; for we have heard their
voices. Neither their mothers nor their fathers wish to leave
them!" so spoke Gekaquch, Baqahol, Cavek and Cibakihay concerning
Caynoh and Caybatz. At length they searched in the cavern, and
those who had spoken met them coming: "We seek you, oh our rulers,
and truly we are unhappy," said they. Caynoh and Caybatz answered:
"We shall not come if your rulers, the Galel and Ahucham, are not
there. Who would be with us? Are we not humbled if we return before
Tepeuh? We shall not come that they may kill us. Let them take
these words, that we may go forth and be reconciled with Tepeuh.
Then we will come." So said they, and immediately it was carried to
the people. A messenger was sent to report to Tepeuh. When Tepeuh
heard the report he rejoiced, and the Cakchiquels rejoiced, and the
Zotzil Tukuches and the Ahtziquinahay rejoiced. Then they went
forth to seek our ancestors.
_Caponibal chic vae panche Chi[t]ohom._

55. Returning, they arrived together, where were their wives.
Therefore all the tribes rejoiced on seeing their faces, when they
returned. Immediately they caused to be hanged and executed the
Galel Xahil and Ahucham Xahil, and all their fame perished with
them.
56. Xeoc [c]a chi ahauarem, Ahpop Xahil xux ri Caynoh, Ahpop [c]amahay
xux ri Cayba[c,], e cay chi ahaua xeux humah tzih ok xeoc chi ahauarem.
56. Then they entered in possession of the royal power. Caynoh was
made Ahpop Xahil, and Caybatz was made Ahpop Qamahay. Both were
kings, and their words were as one, when they assumed the royal
power.
57. Xe [c]aholan xe mealan [c]a, ri Caynoh, Cayba[c,], e cahi xe ru

57. Caynoh and Caybatz begat sons and daughters. The first had four
sons and the second five sons, making nine sons begotten by Caynoh
and Caybatz. Terrifying was the fame of the magic power and wisdom
of Gagavitz, Zactecauh, Caynoh and Caybatz.
58. Ok xecha [c]a ri Caynoh, Cayba[c,]: ti [c,]akattah ri kahauarem oh

58. Then Caynoh and Caybatz spoke thus: "Strong is now our royal
power; we hold the rulership from our fathers; let our two sons
partake of our power." So said they. Then a son of Caynoh was
placed in possession of power and was made Ahuchan Xahil, and a son
of Caybatz was placed on the throne and was made Galel Xahil. Thus
we had four rulers, we the Xahila, and our royal power was
established in the presence of our ancestors.
_Xecam [c]a ri Caynoh Cayba[c,]._

59. After the Galel Xahil and the Ahuchan Xahil had taken
possession, the kings died. Immediately their posterity succeeded.
Two by two they entered into power, and the two sons of the sons of
Caynoh received homage as Ahpop Xahil and Ahuchan Xahil; the two
sons of the chief Caybatz took possession and received the homage
of their subjects as Ahpop Qamahay and Galel Xahil. Thus was the
monarchy established during the time of the children of Caynoh and
Caybatz. They were our first ancestors who established the royalty,
O my children; but one mother only and one father only brought us
forth, us, the Xahila.

60. They received homage, they received presents; for the towns and
places were beyond number which were theirs. Then multiplied the
daughters and sons of the nine sons begotten by the kings Caynoh
and Caybatz. When, however, the king Citan Qatu died, the royal
power was split up among our fathers and ancestors; there were then
many chiefs and the power was divided.
61. He [c]a ri qui [c]ahol [c]oxahil [c]obakil, quere navipe ri qui

61. There were the sons of Qoxahil and Qobakil, and the children of
the Galel Xahil and the Ahuchan Xahil, and the sons of Ahcupilcat,
of whom our ancestors had spared life and granted a dwelling place.
These made an opposition to the sons of the king Caynoh. The
children of Qoxahil and Qobakil having begun to rule, the sons of
the Ahuchan Xahil, who had been hanged, opposed the king, and began
to rule as Ahuchan.
62. Xeoc chi [c]a chirih Ahpop [c]amahay Xahil, [t]alel Xahil, ri ru

62. Against the Ahpop Qamahay Xahil was the Galel Xahil, son of
Ahcupilcat; also the sons of the Galel Xahil who was with Caynoh
and Caybatz and accompanied them to Tepeuh. They had lived in the
sovereignty of the Ikomagi, a nation whose name is from their city,
their principal city.
63. Xqui toloba [c]a ri ki xecaker vi conohel xepe chiri Pantzic,

63. At that time they abandoned the place where their dawn had
appeared and they all returned to Pantzic and Paraxone; they left
Cimahihay, Panche, Chiqohom, Chiavar, and Tzupitagahi, following
the valleys of the river. The names of the places that they
received homage from in this journey are the towns Zahcah, Petze,
Utzupa, Ginona, Galaah, Puzbal, Zaliqahol, Nimzakahpec, Yutcum,
Calla, Chuvi Xilom, Molinxot, Pachalicbak, Chuti tinamit, where the
Akahal nation had greatly increased, and where, in the towns of
Ochal or Qabouil Civan, the king Ychalcan Chicumcuvat, chief of the
Akahals, reigned with majesty.
64. Tok xe apon chi[c]a e ka mama chiri chuvi tinamit O[c]hal, xelo[t]ox

64. Our ancestors then arrived at the town Ochal. They made
themselves liked by the Akahals, and founded there four towns. The
Akahal nation had not previously been divided; but at that time
they all made a choice and chose to effect a division of the
nation. It was at this time that they abandoned the town of Ochal,
which was in the warm district, and sought the highland plain, when
the sons of Ychalcan came to Xepakay Seated on the roots, under the
shade of a ceiba tree, they ate chile, and had shellfish and fish,
as they liked. Then the people of the place, coming above the
plain, sought to hang the sons of the king for their temerity; for
they aimed to surpass the greatness of their father, and for that
reason the chiefs wished their death. But these princes, making a
night attack, routed the people at Panah, at Chiholom and at
Xepakay, under the ceiba tree. The Akahals rejoiced at the arrival
of the princes on the plain. In consequence of this event, the
Akahals separated, and they left the town of Ochal, and accompanied
our ancestors, and established themselves at Zakiqahol and
Nimcakahpec.

65. The names of our ancestors who received the homage and presents
of a great number of towns after the death of the king Citan Qatu
when our ancestors publicly took the government.
66. Xahauar ahauh Citan [c]atu, ru [c]ahol ahauh Caynoh, xa vi [c]oh ru

66. The chief Citan Qatu ruled, the son of the chief Caynoh, to
whom were mystic power and wisdom. Then ruled the chief Qotbalcan.
The chief Alinam ruled. Next ruled the chief Xttamer Zaquentol.
Then followed in power Qhiyoc Queh Ahgug. In his reign the chief
and Galel Xahil Xulu Qatu gathered together the Quiche nation,
desiring that war should be declared against those who were
attacking Ginona, and were engaged against the town Ginona. For
this reason the chief Xuluqatu was sent by the chiefs Chiyocqueh
and Ttah ttah Akbal, who then reigned, to say that no mercy should
be shown to the chiefs who commanded the forces of the enemy, but
that the people should be spared.
67. Ok xcha [c]a ahauh [c]ikab chique ahaua: Tila[t]abeh chic y huyubal
Chiavar, xeucheex ruma ahauh [c]ikab.
67. Then the king Qikab said to the chiefs: "Go back again to your
town at Chiavar." Thus spoke the king Qikab.
_Caponibal chic Chiavar vae._
_Their return to Chiavar._
68. Ru tzih ahauh [c]ikab, tok xepon chic ka mama chuvi tinamit Chiavar

68. It was by command of the king Qikab that our ancestors returned
to the city of Chiavar and Tzupitagah. All the towns were occupied
by the nation, therefore they came with the chiefs when these
removed to Chiavar by order of Qikab.
69. Xahauar chi[c]a ahauh Xitayul Hax. Xla[t]aben ok tinamit Chiavar ok
xahauar Xitayul Hax.
69. The chief Xitayul Hax was then reigning. The town of Chiavar
was peopled during the reign of Xitayul Hax.
70. Ok xoc chi[c]a ahauh Xiquitzal chi ahauarem, tan e [c]oh chiri chuvi

70. At that time also the chief Xiquitzal had power. They dwelt in
the towns of Chiavar and Tzupitagah. The king Qikab ruled with
majesty over all the kingdom at the towns Gumarcaah and Izmachi,
and all the people paid him tribute.
71. Ruma ri tan tu cuch ri oxlahu [c]hob chi ahlabal chiri [t]umarcaah,

71. For him the thirteen divisions of warriors assembled at
Gumarcaah, and they prepared their bows and shields. The tribes,
great and small, and all the dwellers in the ravines were
conquered, nor did it cost the Quiches anything. The thirteen
divisions of warriors conquered the towns, and thus was increased
the glory of the king Qikab.
72. Maqui [c]a xe covin ree [c]hakab ahaua he ka mama, ri mix kabijh

72. But half of the chiefs would not listen to the words of our
ancestors which had been spoken to them; they forgot the order
which had been given to spare the Zotzil Tukuches, and not to show
mercy to the chiefs, and thus they dimmed the royal power.
73. He [c]a tan que ahauar ri Rahamun, Xiquitzal; he [c]a tan que

73. Those who were then ruling were Rahamun and Xiquitzal, and
among the warriors were our ancestors Huntoh and Vukubatz. They
were famous warriors and made war under the orders of the king
Qikab. At that time our ancestor Vukubatz was at Bogoiya and Huntoh
was at Xequizche. These men of old, mighty rocks, had gone forth to
war, to wage glorious war with those of Chiholom, where reigned the
chief Ychal Amullac, ruler of the Akahals.
_Haoc xeoc chi ahauarem vae._

74. After these things our ancestors Huntoh and Vukubatz reigned,
seizing the power and majesty. When they obtained the royalty, the
king Qikab was still reigning, and he had mercy on the Zotzil
Tukuches.
75. Ha[c]a ri ahauh Vukuba[c,] ka mama, Citan Tihax Cablah rubi ru tata;

75. This chief, our ancestor, Vukubatz, had as father Citan Tihax
Cablah, who was the son of the king Citan Qatu and Tihax Cablah.
The latter let the power pass to our ancestor, and the king Caynoh
and the king Citan Qatu thus obtained the power. Our ancestor,
summoned by the king Qikab and by all the chiefs and leading men,
from all parts, was placed in the royal power, and thus our
ancestors Vukubatz and Huntoh were then the two kings.

76. When our ancestors had taken possession of the royalty, they
settled the towns of Chiavar and Tzupitagah. Truly the king Qikab
ruled with great glory when our ancestors Huntoh and Vukubatz
reigned. Those warriors inspired terror, nor were their histories
forgotten, and the fame was recalled of our first fathers and
ancestors, Gagavitz, Zactecauh, Caynoh, Caybatz, and Citan Qatu.
Truly there were magic power and wisdom in our ancestors Huntoh and
Vukubatz; they assumed glory and majesty. Truly many were the
cities and peoples who submitted to them, and over whom they had
triumphed with the king Qikab and all the warriors. For this great
monarch inspired terror throughout the seven nations, and his
warriors carried war in all directions; and therefore great was the
glory of the king Qikab. These are all the towns which they had
conquered before the insurrection broke out which the Quiches made
against their king Qikab:--

79. Then began a revolt against the king Qikab by the Quiche men;
the family of the king was the cause of the contest. The family of
the king perished with many of the people. The Quiches would not
promise the homage as vassals which he asked of them. They wished
that the roads should be free to the Quiche people, which the king
would not grant. Therefore many of the people disliked the king and
they would not pay him their dues. For this reason the Quiches
turned against the king and his glory diminished.

80. The two sons of the king were already distinguished. Tatayac
was the name of the one, Ah Itza the name of the other. Chituy and
Quehnay were the two sons of these princes. These took the part of
the Quiches, and the king was thus opposed to his own sons, who
incited the people not to pay their dues, already irritated on
account of their subjection; and thus it came that the king was
against his own sons. Thus Tatayac and Ahitza were opposed to their
father, for they coveted the royal power, and desired the precious
stones, the metals, the slaves and people of their father. At this
time there was a council of the Quiches against the warriors
maintained by the king, and they began to put to death all those of
the first rank in the royal service.
