u ya ru puak, xutih ru [t]ih vinak ruma ahaua.

153. Then Tunatiuh cut from three of them the gold ornaments they
wore in their ears. The chiefs suffered keenly from this violence,
and wept before him. But Tunatiuh was not troubled, and said: "I
tell you that I want the gold here within five days. Wo to you if
you do not give it. I know my heart." So said he to the chiefs. The
word was then given. The chiefs gathered together all their metals,
those of the parents and children of the king, and all that the
chiefs could get from the people.

154. Ki [c]a tini[c]ahar ru yaic puak chire Tunatiuh, tok x[c]utun hun
achi [c]axto[c]: Yn cakolahay, tincamicah Castilan vinak, xcha chique
ahaua; xa pa [t]a[t] queyaar vi, tin [t]ocih tinamit que el [c]a el ahau
[c]haka ya, ha [c]a chi vuku ahmak tinban, xcha achi ri [c]axto[c]
chique ahaua. Kitzih [c]a xqui na ahaua, xoquecax ru tzih achij cuma, ki
[c]a ti ni[c]ahar can ru yaic puvak ok xoh pax.

154. While they were gathering the gold for Tunatiuh, a priest of
the Demon showed himself: "I am the lightning; I will destroy the
Castilians." So said he to the chiefs. "I will destroy them by
fire. When I beat the drum let the chiefs come forth and go to the
other bank of the river. This I shall do on the day 7 Ahmak." Thus
did this priest of the Demon speak to the chiefs. Truly the chiefs
thought that they should trust in the words of this man. It was
when they were gathering the gold that we went forth.

_Haok ki xoh pax pa tinamit vae._

_How We went forth from the City._

155. Chi vuku Ahmak [c]a xban paxic. Haoki xtole can tinamit chi
Yximchee, xa[c]a ruma ri achi [c]axto[c], ok xeel ahaua; vue kitzih
xticam Tunatiuh, quecha; tan mani labal chu [c]ux Tunatiuh, tan ti qui
cot ruma puvak tan ti ya. Xa rumal achi ri [c]axto[c], tok xtole can ka
tinamit, chi vuku ahmak, yx nu[c]ahol.

155. The day 7 Ahmak was that of the going forth. They deserted the
city of Iximche on account of the priest of the Demon, and the
chiefs left it. "Yes, truly, Tunatiuh shall die," said they. "There
is no more war in the heart of Tunatiuh, as he now rejoices in the
gold given him." Thus it was that our city was abandoned on the day
7 Ahmak on account of a priest of the Demon, O my children.

156. Xe na chi vi naek [c]a ahaua ruma Tunatiuh; xlauheher ok kopax pa
tinamit, oki xtiquer
