Qaxqan, having for king Ychal Amollac. Messengers were sent to him
by the kings Oxlahuh tzii and Cablahuh Tikax, with the order that
he should come down, and they said: "Let the bravery of the king be
made manifest to our ancients, let us measure with him our bows and
our shields. The Quiches wished to try their arms against our
ravine and our city, and we have dealt with the Quiches. Let us now
try this one in war; let the king come and show his valor." Thus
did they say and sent this word to Ychal. The heart of the king was
soon resolved. "Let it be according to the desire of the
Ahpozotzils and Ahpoxahils. I will increase my strength and I will
go and show them all my valor. I will go alone; I will see what is
the place of the Cakchiquels; I will go down to make war with the
descendants of my grandfather." Thus spoke the king Ychal to the
messengers.
95. Cani [c]a xequicot ahaua tok xel pe ru tzihol ahauh Y[c]hal, cani

95. The chiefs rejoiced when the words of Ychal reached them, and
the chiefs took counsel in words against Ychal: "It is well that he
be hidden from the light, that we disobey not the Demon on account
of Ychal." Thus spoke the princes. Then his death was resolved upon
by our ancestors--Hunahpu Tzian, Nimazahay, Ahciqahuh, Qhooc
Tacatic, Tzimahi Piaculcan and Xumak Cham, who were envious of his
person on account of the riches that he had, and the height to
which he had raised his courage.

96. Then the king Ychal went forth, and a great number of
distinguished warriors went with the king. He was profound in
knowledge, and he left these words to his house: "Whether I return,
or whether I do not return, my death is at hand." The king
departed, saying these words. When it was known that the king was
on the road, the people came to carry him on their shoulders. When
he heard them he said: "Look to your walls; look to your lime and
your war paint; be prepared and your arms at hand, that you appear
not cast down before the Zotzil Tukuches." Thus he spoke to his
warriors, and they returned in midway to their houses and villages.
The chief came on the day 10th Noh.

97. His face was sorrowful as he entered the city of Iximche, where
they were consulting of his death. It had been decided upon by the
chiefs when he came. At his arrival he was called to the council,
but no sooner was he entered than he was slain, and his brave
companions with him. His cup bearer was seized as soon as he
entered, and was slain, as of the Akahal nation. Thus perished
Ychal Amolac at Iximche. These are the names of the warriors who
perished with him, all distinguished men: Zoroch, Hukahic,
Tameltoh, Huvurahbix, Vailgahol; thus they were called, these noble
men, who went forth to die with him. Thus it came that the city of
Holom was conquered, as also the towns of Qaxqan, Ralabalyq,
Guguhuyu and Vukucivan, where dwelt many people of the Akahal
nation. All the towns finished by yielding to the arms of the kings
Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax. Desiring to repeople Xerahapit, the
Akahal nation were transferred there, and there they bewailed their
dead.

98. At Paraxtunya, Belehe gih by name was chief. He had made an
alliance with the chief Voocaok, the Ahtziquinahay. Caoke was
inclined to war, and war was in his heart. Having built a
stronghold with ditches, Belehe gih desired the supreme power. The
kings Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax learning these preparations
for war, said: "Truly there is an evil mind in the chiefs
Ahtziquinahay and Belehe gih. They have turned war toward us, and
the chief Caoke has already in his heart assumed the supreme
power. Let us give them war." So said the chieftains, and from that
time the death of Caoke was resolved upon. Warriors set out to slay
him. But Caoke was brave, and, far from yielding, thirteen times he
descended from his town and for thirteen days endeavored to save
his life. Finally the town of Paraxtunya having been assaulted, it
was captured by our ancestors Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax, who
put to death all whom we have named.

99. A question of land was the real cause of the struggle, when the
Akahals strove with the Tukuches, because the harvests of the
Akahals had been destroyed by the Tukuches. Those who beat the
persons injuring the harvests were seized at the point of Chiqib,
the place where this took place among those men of old.

100. The judges in this affair were the kings Cablahuh Tihax and
Oxlahuh tzy, for the Tukuches; and for the Akahals, the Tukuche
chief called Cay Hunahpu, the head chief Cavek, and the chiefs
Qiriayu and Toxqomnoh. One could see in Cay Hunahpu the demeanor of
supreme power, and he had many vassals; but the Ahpopzotzils and
the Ahpopxahils refused to deliver up to him the Akahals to be
slain. For already in his heart Cay Hunahpu had resolved to destroy
the Akahals. For this reason there was a revolt against Cablahuh
Tihax and Oxlahuh tzy, by the instigation of Cay Hunahpu; for this
chief disliked the Ahpopzotzil and the Ahpopxahil, and would have
liked to rule alone. Thus the revolt spread among the chiefs. The
chief Cay Hunahpu desired the revolt; for this chief Cay Hunahpu
had resolved in his heart the revolt, and he could not be satisfied
until he had forced the kings Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax to
humble themselves that he might become great. Then these princes
did humble themselves, that there should not be a conflict between
their people, and they grieved deeply. Thus did Cay Hunahpu
frighten these two kings; but he could not be satisfied without
using violence.
101. Tok x[c]hique [c]a [t]ih xbanvi yuhuh ruma ahauh Cay Hunahpu, ha

101. The day of the revolt was appointed by this chief, Cay
Hunahpu, and on this day, 11th Ah, the revolt broke out. Then the
Tukuches were drawn out of the city, to the other side of the
river, and all the Tukuche warriors went there also, that they
might enter the city; but the warriors of the kings Cablahuh Tihax
and Oxlahuh tzy opposed them. One division of warriors was enough
to drive them off, encouraged by the words of the kings, a division
from Xechipeken; and these of Xechipeken, with their ruler the
counselor Cinahitoh, distinguished themselves by their bravery.

102. When the dawn appeared on the day 11th Ah, the Tukuches began
on the opposite side from the city, and the drums and trumpets of
the chief Cay Hunahpu were heard. Then the warriors armed, and
displayed their brilliant feathers and shining banners, and gold
and precious stones. Then it began on the other side of the river,
and truly it was terrible for the number of the Tukuches, who could
not be counted by eight thousands nor by sixteen thousands. The
battle began before the city, at the end of the bridge where
Chucuybatzin, placed at the head of the struggle by the Tukuches,
had brought the fighting. There were four women who had armed
themselves with lances and bows, and taken part in the battle,
fully equal to four young men. The arrows launched by these
heroines struck the very mat of Chucuybatzin. Truly it was a
terrible revolt which the chiefs made of old. The chiefs of the
battle afterwards set up the images of these women before the
buildings of the Zotzils and the Xahils, whence these women had
gone forth. As they departed, there suddenly appeared a division
in the high road near the deep trenches. It rapidly scattered the
warriors of Tibaqoy and Raxakan on the high road. Only two of the
men fell in this encounter, and he who led them beyond the city to
prolong the combat was the same who had gained the previous
victory, the counselor Cinahitoh of Xechipeken.
103. Tok xpe [c]a ramonel chirih Tukuchee, cani [c]a xucahmah mani chic

103. Then began a general attack on the Tukuches; they were cut to
pieces at once; no one resisted; the rout was complete; men, women
and children were given up to slaughter. The chief Cay Hunahpu was
slain; the chiefs Tziriniyu and Toxqom Noh all perished, as well as
their fathers and children. Immediately those of Tibaqoy and
Raxakan retired, partly to Quiche, partly among the Tzutuhils. They
mingled with their subjects and were thus dispersed. Such was the
destruction of the Tukuches, in old times, O my children. It was
our ancestors Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax who, on the day 11th
Ah, undertook and accomplished the dispersion of the Tukuches.

104. Thirty-one days after the revolt, as the Quiches desired to
destroy those of Tibaqoy, these Tukuches removed to Chiavar and put
to death the Quiches, who yielded in a battle at a place named
Yaxontzui, on the day 9th Caok.

105. On the 36th day after the revolt Cinahitoh perished, because
he coveted the position of the orator Ahmoxnay. Cinahitoh wished to
exercise the power alone, above the chieftains, therefore Cinahitoh
was condemned by all the chiefs, and his death was carried into
effect in the city on the day 11th Can.
106. Xlauheh oktel huna yuhuh xhi[c,]ax chic ahauh atzih vinak Ahmoxnay,

106. One year less ten days after the revolt was hanged the chief
orator Ahmoxnay on the day 11th Akbal. This chief perished because
he had stopped the messengers of the ruler.

107. It was not much less than two years after the defeat of the
Tukuches, when the Tzutuhils were defeated at Zakcab on the day 1st
Ahmak. The Tzutuhils were cut to pieces and their rulers Nahtihay
and Ahqibihay were slain. Only Vookaok, the Ahtziquinahay, could
not be conquered, and he tried his fortune against the Cakchiquels.

109. During the fifth year those of Mixco were put to death; being
tributaries of the king Cablahuh Tihax, they wished to make
themselves independent. On the day 7 Camay, the town of Mixco was
taken and its inhabitants slain by the chiefs.

110. At the same time were put to death the Yaquis of Xivico,
because they had taken part with the king Vookaok, Chief of the
Akahals, this nation of the Akahals having begun to lift itself
before the town, desiring to obtain power.
111. Va[t]ih ok [c]atel Voo rubanic yuhuh ok xcam chic Akahal vinak

113. Twelve days were lacking to complete the tenth year after the
revolt when the Cakchiquels put on their shields on account of the
king our ancestor, Oxlahuh tzy; for truly he showed great power in
making all the seven nations come to Iximche, which he did on the
day 8 Imox.

married Lahuh Tihax, son of Qikab. Little was lacking to complete
the fourteenth year after the Revolt when the king our ancestor
Oxlahuh tzy also died. He died on the day 13 Ahmak. Truly this king
had made himself feared by his power; never was his power or his
grandeur diminished; he undertook many wars and conquered many
cities. These are the children he begat:--

115. Hunyg was the name of his first son, and he obtained the power
when the king Oxlahuh tzy his father died, and all four of the
tribes gave their consent that Hunyg should be chief. Vakaki Ahmak
was the name of the second son; Noh was the third; Beleheqat the
fourth; Imox the fifth, Maku Xguhay was the name of the queen, wife
of the king Oxlahuh tzy. She had three children, oldest of whom was
the king Hunyg. He had also two other wives, each of whom was
mother of part of the children of the king; and the mother of the
king (Hunyg) had also Beleheqat.

117. Then began also to reign the king Lahuh Noh, eldest son of the
king Cablahuh Tihax. At this time the Yaquis of Culuacan were
received by the kings Hunyg and Lahuh Noh. The Yaquis arrived on
the day 1 Toh, sent by the king Modeczumatzin, king of the
Mexicans.

O my children, during the reign of our ancestor Hunyg and Lahuh
Noh.
