II. Chapter 13
The lords were astounded. "Sacrifice yourselves now, let us see it! We really like your dances!" said the lords. "Very well, Sirs," they answered[The lords of Xibalba were astounded. "Sacrifice yourselves now, let us observe it! We honestly delight in your unique dances!" said the lords. "Brilliant, Sirs," they gladly answered]. And they proceeded to sacrifice each other. Hunahpú was sacrificed by Xbalanqué; one by one his arms and his legs were sliced off, his head was cut from his body and carried away; his heart was torn from his breast and thrown onto the grass[They next proceeded to sacrifice each other. Hunahpú was sacrificed by Xbalanqué; disjointly his arms besides his legs were excised, his head was cut from his body and carried away; his heart was snagged from his body in addition bished onto the grass]. All the Lords of Xibalba were fascinated. They looked on in wonder, but really it was only the dance of one man; it was Xbalanqué[All the Lords of Xibalba were intoxicated. They looked on in wonder, but it was just a man's especial dance; it was Xbalanqué without any question].
["Get up!" he spoke about, and instantly Hunahpú came again to life. The boys were very happy in addition the lords of Xibalba were again glad.]"Get up!" he said, and instantly [Hunahpú] returned to life. They [the boys] were very happy and the lords were also happy. In truth, what they did gladdened the hearts of Hun-Camé and Vucub-Camé, and the latter felt as though they themselves were dancing[Axiomatically, what they had done rejoiced the hearts of Hun-Camé as well as Vucub-Camé, and the latter felt exactly like they were dancing together].
Then their hearts were filled with desire and longing by the dances of Hunahpú and Xbalanqué; and Hun-Camé and Vucub-Camé gave their commands[Then their hearts were filled with burning desire by the dances of Hunahpú in addition Xbalanqué; and Vucub-Camé in addition Hun-Camé gave their commands].
"Do the same with us! Sacrifice us!" they said. "Cut us into pieces, one by one!" Hun-Camé and Vucub-Camé said to Hunahpú and Xbalanqué["Do approximately the same to us! Sacrifice all of us!" they jolly claimed. "Slice us into pieces, without exception!" the lord Hun-Camé and Vucub-Camé said to Hunahpú and Xbalanqué].
"Very well; afterward you will come back to life again. Perchance, did you not bring us here in order that we should entertain you, the lords, and your sons, and vassals?" they said to the lords["Very well; afterward you will come back to life again. Imaginably, did you not bring us here to such an extent that we will entertain you, the lords, and your sons, and subjects?" they claimed to the lords].
And so it happened that they first sacrificed the one, who was the chief and [Lord of Xibalba], the one called Hun-Camé, king of Xibalba[And so it happened that they first sacrificed the one, who was the chief and Lord of Xibalba, the one dubbed Hun-Camé, king of Xibalba].
And when Hun-Camé was dead, they overpowered Vucub-Camé, and they did not bring either of them back to life.
[The human beings of Xibalba fled as soon as they saw that their lords were dead and sacrificed. Both just in a minute were sacrificed]The people of Xibalba fled as soon as they saw that their lords were dead and sacrificed. In an instant both were sacrificed. And this they [the boys] did in order to chastize them. Quickly the principal lord was killed. And they did not bring him back to life[And this the boys did in expectation of teach them a lesson. In a blink of eyes the strongest lord was killed. And they did not bring him back to life explicitly].
[And another lord justifiably humbled himself then, and exhibited himself ahead of the dancers. They had not beheld him, nor had they sighted him. "Have mercy on me!" he said when they stumbled on him.]And another lord humbled himself then, and presented himself before the dancers. They had not discovered him, nor had they found him. "Have mercy on me!" he said when they found him.
[Every sinlge sons and vassals of lords of Xibalba fled to a great ravine, and all of them were jammed in the midst of this exceedingly narrow, deep place.]All the sons and vassals of Xibalba fled to a great ravine, and all of them were crowded into this narrow, deep place. [Nearby they were infested together and hordes of extremely active ants brought into being and found them and expelled them originating out of the ravine.]There they were crowded together and hordes of ants came and found them and dislodged them from the ravine. [Just in that manner the ants expelled them to the side of road, so long as the human beings arrived they inclined themselves and gave themselves up; they humbled themselves and bobbed up, grieving.]In this way [the ants] drove them to the road, and when they arrived [the people] prostrated themselves and gave themselves up; they humbled themselves and arrived, grieving.
[In this way the Lords of Xibalba were overcome. Just by a miracle as well as by their own transformation could the boys have done it.]In this way the Lords of Xibalba were overcome. Only by a miracle and by their [own] transformation could [the boys] have done it.
