Quichí-Achí, speaks for the Sixth time:

Now I'm saying:

Remind yourself     remember  and lend me now
the Twelve Golden Eagles
the Twelve Golden Jaguars
Kablajuh u ganal Cot
Kablajuh u ganal Balam
I've met with night and day
arms in hand   spears in hand.

Lend them to me to go and shoot

with the son of my arrow the son of my shield
in the four corners
along the four walls
in the great walls
in the great fortress
only...only
as a supreme signal of my dying
and of my disappearance
under the sky here
and on the earth.
May sky
and earth
be with you
Hobtoh Rabinal-Rahaual
Great Chief Five-Rains!

Hobtoh Rabinal-Rahaual, Chief Five-Rains, speaks for the Fourth time:

Valiant   Warrior!       Cavek iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii kiiiiiiiii kikikiki
Quichí Vinak:

You've said it now
to the sky-face
to the earth-face
that I should lend you
the Twelve Golden Eagles
the Twelve Golden Jaguars
OK

Here I lend you     here I concede to you
the Twelve Golden Eagles
the Twelve Golden Jaguars
that you beg of me  that you solicit
to my teeth
to my face.

Get going then
O my Eagles
O my Jaguars
and do what's needed

so that this Valiant     this Achi
parades with the son of his arrow
parades with the son of his shield
in the four corners
along the four walls!

Quichí-Achí, speaks for the Seventh time; Quichí- Achí going forward with the Eagles and the Jaguars and dancing a war-dance with them around the Court, then returning to the Gallery where Chief Five-Rains sits with his family: 

Ha! Aha! Yeha! Ahau! Wow! Achí!       

                    I: Quichí-Achí


                    to you:   Hobtoh Rabinal-Rahaual, Great Chief
                         Five-Rains:
Listen to me   Approve of me
to the sky-face here
to the earth-face here.
You granted me
what I wished for   what I asked for
The Golden Eagles
The Golden Jaguars
I paraded with them
with the son of my arrow
with the son of my shield.

Come on now!
Are these your Eagles then?
Are these your Jaguars?
HA!
You can't brag about these
to my teeth
to my face
Some of them come on
some of them don't come on
they don't have any teeth
they don't have any talons
HA!

if you could spare a moment
in my mountains
in my valleys
how powerful mine come on
how powerful they gaze

     they combat    they fight
with teeth
with talons!

Hobtoh Rabinal-Rahaual, Chief Five-Rains, speaks for the fifth time:

Valiant   Warrior!       Cavek iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii kiiiiiiiii kikikiki
Quichí Vinak:

We've seen your Eagles' teeth
your Jaguars' teeth
in your mountains
in your valleys
WELL
What's this sight
Where's this gaze
from your Eagles
from your Jaguars
in your mountains
in your valleys
