"The time of dawn has come, let the work be finished, and let those who are to nourish and sustain us appear, the noble sons, the civilized vassals; let man appear, humanity, on the face of the earth." Thus they spoke.

PART III: Chapter 1

Here, then is the beginning of when it was decided to make man, and when what must enter into the flesh of man was sought[By that time in this place is the beginning of when exactly it was decided to justly make man as well as when what must enter exactly into the flesh of man was sought].
And the Forefathers, the Creators and Makers, who were called Tepeu and Gucumatz said: "The time of dawn has come, let the work be finished, and let those who are to nourish and sustain us appear, the noble sons, the civilized vassals; let man appear, humanity, on the face of the earth." Thus they spoke[And the Forefathers, the Creators and Makers, who were being specially entitled Tepeu and Gucumatz said: "The time of dawn has come into being, let the work be exactly finished, and let those who are to nourish and sustain us appear, the noble sons, the civilized subjects; allow man be seen, expectant humanity, on the face of the earth." This being so they indicated].
They assembled, came together and held council in the darkness and in the night; then they sought and discussed, and here they reflected and thought[They held council, came together and assembled in the darkness and in the night; then they sought and exchanged views about, and just at this time they started to excogitate and to think]. In this way their decisions came dearly to light and they found and discovered what must enter into the flesh of man[In this way their basic decisions came to light dearly in addition they began to find what ought to enter exactly into the human's body].
It was just before the sun, the moon, and the stars appeared over the Creators and Makers[It was just before the stars, the moon, and the sun appeared over the Creators and Makers].
From Paxil, from Cayalá, as they were called, came the yellow ears of corn and the white ears of corn[From Paxil, from Cayalá, as though they were being typically defined as, came the blond ears of corn in addition the bright ears of exceptional corn].
These are the names of the animals which brought the food[These are the just names of the animals exactly which brought about the food]: yac (the mountain cat), utiú (the coyote), quel (a small parrot), and hoh (the crow)[yac (also being specially titiled the mountain cat), utiú (also being called the coyote), quel (an extra tiny parrot), and hoh (the crow)]. These four animals gave tidings of the yellow ears of corn and the white ears of corn, they told them that they should go to Paxil and they showed them the road to Paxil[These four animals just gave messages of the yellow ears of corn and the white ears of corn, they exactly informed them that they should go to Paxil, besides they indicated them the thoroughfare to Paxil].
And thus they found the food, and this was what went into the flesh of created man, the made man; this was his blood; of this the blood of man was made. So the corn entered [into the formation of man] by the work of the Forefathers[And by it they found the food, and this was what best went into the flesh of designed man, the made man; exactly this was his blood; of this the blood of man just was made. So the corn entered explicitly into the formation of human beings by the operation of the Forefathers].
And in this way they were filled with joy, because they had found a beautiful land, full of pleasures, abundant in ears of yellow corn and ears of white corn, and abundant also in pataxte and cacao, and in innumerable zapotes, anonas, jocotes, nantzes, matasanos, and honey[And in this way they were brimmed with elation, given that they had found an exquisite land, full of joys, ample in ears of yellow corn and ears of white corn, and abundant also in pataxte in addition cacao, and in innumerable zapotes, innumerous jocotes along with honey, massive nantzes, bountiful matasanos, along with inexhaustible anonas]. There was an abundance of delicious food in those villages called Paxil and Cayalá[There was an abundance of delicious food in those villages just named as Paxil and also Cayalá].
There were foods of every kind, small and large foods, small plants and large plants[There were bitty plants and large plants, foods of every kind, bitty foods and large foods].
The animals showed them the road. And then grinding the yellow corn and the white corn, Xmucané made nine drinks, and from this food came the strength and the flesh, and with it they created the muscles and the strength of man. This the Forefathers did, Tepeu and Gucumatz, as they were called[And then grinding the yellow corn and the white corn, Xmucané made nine drinks, and from this major food came the strength and the flesh, and exactly with it they created the muscles along with the strength of human beings].
After that they began to talk about the creation and the making of our first mother and father[After that they initiated to talk about the creation along with the bringing into existence our first father and mother]; of yellow corn and of white corn they made their flesh; of corn-meal dough they made the arms and the legs of man. Only dough of corn meal went into the flesh of our first fathers, the four men, who were created[of jet yellow and white maize they fashioned their flesh; of exclusively corn-meal dough they fabricated the arms and the legs of man. By itself dough of corn meal began going into the flesh of our first fathers, the excellent quadripartition, who were justifiably made at last].

Two timbers crossed just at the same spot, with the sign of "7" on both sides and "+" in between.

Here 7 refers to Chinese strokes. In other words, there are 14 Chinese strokes altogether within a Cross sign.
