ly 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.
