(1) Here, then, are the generations and the order of all the rulers which began with our first grandfathers and our first fathers, Balam-Quitzé, Balam-Acab, Mahucutah, and Iqui-Balam, when the sun appeared, and the moon and the stars were seen. Now, then, we shall give the beginning of the generations, the order of kingdoms from the beginning of their lineage, how the lords entered into power, from their accessions to their deaths: [we shall give] each generation of lords and ancestors, as well as the lord of the town, all and each of the lords. Here, then, the person of each one of the lords of the Quiché shall be shown. Balam-Quitzé, the root of those of Cavec. Qocavib, second generation [of the line] of Balam-Quitzé. Balam-Conaché, with whom the title of Ahpop began, third generation. Cotuhá [I] and Iztayub, fourth generation. Gucumatz and Cotuhá, [II] first of the marvelous kings, who were of the fifth generation. Tepepul and Iztayul, of the sixth order. Quicab and Cavizimah, of the seventh order of succession to the kingdom. Tepepul and Iztayub, eighth generation. Tecum and Tepepul, ninth generation. Vahxaqui-Caam and Quicab, tenth generation of kings. Vucub-Noh and Cauutepech, eleventh order of kings.

(1) other three-hundred-and-sixty rulers from the rulers of Adamas who had not had faith in the mystery of the Light, and bound them into these aërial regions, in which we are now, below the sphere. He established another five great rulers over them,--that is these who are on the way of the midst.

(55) Ye †mighty kings† who dwell on the earth, ye shall have to behold Mine Elect One, how he sits on the throne of glory and judges Azâzêl, and all his associates, and all his hosts in the name of the Lord of Spirits.'

(11) Yet you must know that these three kingdoms have a beginning and an end; but that God, who has made these three kingdoms out of himself, is infinite, and has no end.

(2) Oxib-Queh and Beleheb-Tzi, the twelfth generation of kings. These were those who reigned when Donadiú came, and who were hanged by the Spaniards. Tecum and Tepepul, who paid tribute to the Spaniards, they left sons, and the former were the thirteenth generation of kings. Don Juan de Rojas and don Juan Cortés, the fourteenth generation of kings, were the sons of Tecum and Tepepul. These are, then, the generations and the order of the kingdom of the lords Ahpop and AhpopCamhá of the Quiché of Cavec.

(46) [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms] Because they do not extol and praise Him, Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them.

(9) And they said to the Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, 〈and God of the ages〉, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages!

(25) Then Jonathan the son of Ozias reigned for sixteen years. In his time Esaias still prophesied, and Hosea, and Michaeas the Morasthite, and Joel the son of Bethuel.

(9) Afterward he revealed many confronting, self-begotten ones, equal in age (and) power, being in glory and without number, who are called 'The Generation over Whom There Is No Kingdom among the Kingdoms That Exist'. And the whole multitude of the place over which there is no kingdom is called 'Sons of Unbegotten Father.'

(15) And the three kingdoms are circular round about the Son of God, neither of them is farther from or nearer to the Son of God, for one is equally as near about the Son of God as another.

(4) Iztayul, seventh generation of kings. Cotuhá [II], eighth order of the kingdom. Beleheb-Queh [II], ninth order. Quemá, so called, tenth generation. Ahau-Cotuhá, eleventh generation. Don Cristóval, so called, who ruled in the time of the Spaniards. Don Pedro de Robles, the present Ahau-Galel. These, then, are all the kings who descended from the Ahau-Galel. Now we shall name the lords of each of the Great Houses. Ahau-Galel, first lord of the Nihaib, head of one Great House. Ahau-Ahtzic-Vinac, one Great House. Ahau-Galel-Camhá, one Great House. Nima-Camhá, one Great House. Uchuch-Camhá, one Great House. Nim-Chocoh-Nihaib, one Great House. Ahau-Avilix, one Great House. Yacolatam, one Great House. Nima-Lolmet-Ycoltux, one Great House. These, then, are the Great Houses of the Nihaib; these were the names of the nine families of those of Nihaib, as they were called. Numerous were the families of each one of the lords, whose names we have given first. Here, now, is the lineage of those of Ahau-Quiché, who were their grandfather and father. Mahucutah, the first man. Qoahau, name of the second generation of kings. These were the kings of those of the Ahau-Quiché; this is the order of their generations.

(82) And these are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter at their times, in their orders, in their seasons, in their months, in their periods of dominion, and in their positions.

(71) And round about were Seraphin, Cherubic, and Ophannin: And these are they who sleep not And guard the throne of His glory.

(7) My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

(4) Accordingly, the good man who has become heir of the kingdom, it registers also as fellow-citizen, through divine wisdom, with the righteous of the olden time, who under the law and before the law lived according to law, whose deeds have become laws to us; and again, teaching that the wise man is king, introduces people of a different race, saying to him, "Thou art a king before God among us;" those who were governed obeying the good man of their own accord, from admiration of his virtue.

(82) These are the names, and the orders, and the leaders of those heads of thousands: Gîdâ’îjal, Kê’êl, and Hê’êl, and the name of the head of a thousand which is added to them, Asfâ’êl’: and the days of his dominion are at an end.

(24) Ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

(29) The kings of the Gentile exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

(12) Before the throne of God was the crystal sea representing the Schamayim, or the living waters which are above the heavens. Before the throne also were four creatures--a bull, a lion, an eagle, and a man. These represented the four corners of creation and the multitude of eyes with which they were covered are the stars of the firmament. The twenty-four elders have the same significance as the priests gathered around the statue of Ceres in the Greater Eleusinian Rite and also the Persian Genii, or gods of the hours of the day, who, casting away their crowns, glorify the Holy One. As symbolic of the divisions of time, the elders adore the timeless and enduring Spirit in the midst of them.

(3) "I have told you for the first time the names of these five great rulers with which the men of the world are wont to call them. Hearken now then that I may tell you also their incorruptible names, which are: Ōrimouth correspondeth to Kronos; Mounichounaphōr correspondeth to Arēs; Tarpetanouph correspondeth to Hermēs; Chōsi correspondeth to Aphroditē; Chōnbal correspondeth to Zeus. These are their incorruptible names."
