Abaphethe ulwazi olubabazekayo lwempilo, onkulunkulu nendawo yonke, abathakathi baseMayan babambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekwelapheni izifo nasekunciphiseni iziqalekiso. Hlangana nesiko labo eliyimfihlakalo!
UNakuk Sojom wayazi lapho evuka ngalolo suku ukuthi wayeyisisulu "sabadlali ababi", futhi ngaphezu kwesijeziso esivela konkulunkulu ngokwehluleka emkhosini; ubephalaze futhi ehanjiswa yisisu, ubeshisa umkhuhlane nekhanda lakhe belizula ngenxa yobuhlungu obukhulu; ngokufanayo, wayenephupho elingajwayelekile nelicindezelayo lapho i-jaguar enkulu enamehlo anjengamalahle ayejaha inyamazane, ayiphakamise, ayibulale.
UNakuk Sojom Wayazi lapho evuka ukuthi le nyamazane kwakunguye "omunye umuntu" wakhe, isilwane lapho ingxenye yomoya wakhe yayibiza khona indlela, nokuthi i-jaguar enkulu yayingumngane wezilwane we uaji noma shaman ububi obubeke ububi kuye. Ukubona isilwane sakhe esasijahwa naye ephusheni kwamtshela ukuthi uxoshiwe esigodini sentaba engcwele ngonkulunkulu bamadlozi.
Ezinsukwini ezimbili ngaphambili uNakuk Sojom wayefikile inyanga, okwathi ngemuva kokuthatha ukushaya kwakhe wamnika ukuba aphuze ukumnika kwamakhambi, kepha ukugula kwakulokhu kuba kubi kakhulu, futhi ngalolo suku kwafika engqondweni yakhe ukuthi akagcinanga ngokulahlekelwa yi-wayjel yakhe, kepha mhlawumbe i-uaiaghon yayinqumile "Sika isikhathi sakhe", okungukuthi thatha impilo yakhe ngemuva kobuhlungu obuncane. Ngakho wanquma ukufona h ’ilol, "Lowo obonayo", ukuze asindise indlela yakhe ekufeni, obekuzoletha lokho komzimba wakhe. I-h'ilol yayingumuntu ongcwele, udokotela womoya, okwengeza ukuthi abe yisilwane ngokuthanda kwakhe wayengadluliselwa kunkanyezi enomsila, futhi ukuphela kwakhe okwaziyo ukwelapha ukulahleka komoya kanye nababi, ngoba yena uqobo wayengadala lezo zifo. I-h'ilol, nengubo yayo emnyama nenduku yayo yokuhamba ngaphansi kwengalo yangakwesobunxele, yafika emzini kaNakuk Sojom ngemuva kwesikhashana, futhi ngokushesha yambuza ngamaphupho akhe ukuthi angahumusha ngokubonga "umbono" wakhe, nokuthi kwembula lokho chulel noma umoya wawuzwile ngokuzihlukanisa nomzimba wabagulayo ngenkathi elele. Ngemuva kokulalela iphupho le-jaguar nenyamazane, u-h’ilol wathola ukuthi i-wayhel kaNakuk Sojom ilahlekile futhi ayivikelekile ehlathini, ngomusa we-uaiaghon uguqulwe waba yi-jaguar. Wabe esethatha ukushaya kwakhe ngokucophelela futhi ukushaywa kwemithambo yakhe kwamtshela nokuthi ngubani lo shaman odala umonakalo: indoda endala eyaziwayo, eyayithunywe yisitha sikaNakuk Sojom ukuthi iphindisele okubi ukuze iziphindiselele.
U-h’ilol ukhulume nezihlobo zikaNakuk Sojom futhi bonke bazilungiselela ukulungiselela umcimbi wokululama. Bathola i- igalikuni owesilisa omnyama, amanzi avela emithonjeni engcwele, engathintwanga ngesandla somuntu, izimbali, izinaliti zikaphayini namakhambi ahlukahlukene, kanye schnapps. Baphinde balungiselela i-posol kanye ne-tamales ye-h'ilol. Khonamanjalo, i-shaman yakha i-corral ezungeze umbhede wabagulayo, eyayimelela amakhorali entaba engcwele lapho onkulunkulu babegcina futhi bavikele abangane bezilwane zabantu.
Ngaso leso sikhathi i- ikhophi, kwanikelwa ngeminikelo, umuntu ogulayo wagezwa emanzini angcwele ngamakhambi aphilisayo, kwagqokwa izingubo ezihlanzekile, futhi walaliswa embhedeni wekorali. I-shaman yamnika ukumnika ukuphuza futhi wagcoba umuthi omnyama esiswini sakhe, ephulula imibuthano ngasohlangothini lwesobunxele; Ngemuva kwalokho wayihlanza ngamakhambi ambalwa, walayita ugwayi wakhe, futhi waqala ukuphuza ugologo ngoswidi abancane, ngenkathi ethandaza imithandazo emide eyayizothuthukisa onkulunkulu ukuthi babuyise isilwane esihamba noNakuk Sojom basibuyisele esigodini intaba engcwele. Ekupheleni kwemikhuleko, wenza "ukubizwa komphefumulo" kukaNakuk Sojom, emnxusa ukuba abuye: "Woza Nakuk, cela ukuthethelelwa konkulunkulu, ubuye lapho ubuwedwa khona, lapho ubusaba khona futhi ulahlekile", ngenkathi edonsa igazi intamo yeturkey emnyama, eyayimele uNakuk uqobo, futhi yanikeza lo muntu ogulayo amaconsi ambalwa ukuthi aphuze.
Ngemuva kokuthi isamanisi, isiguli nabasizi sebedlile, futhi sebephathise abesifazane nabadala ukunakekelwa kwabagulayo, i-h'ilol, ihamba nomndeni wonke, yaya kuma-altare entaba engcwele ukwenza imikhosi efanelekile futhi ushiye i-turkey emnyama, esivele ifile, lapho ishintshana nomphefumulo weNakuk Sojom. Ezinsukwini ezimbili kamuva, isiguli sakwazi ukuvuka: wayesebuyile ukulawula i-wayhel yakhe, amandla amabi ehluliwe, onkulunkulu babemxolele. Emakhulwini eminyaka ngaphambi komkhosi wokuphulukisa kaNakuk Sojom, omkhulu izangoma Kwakungababusi uqobo lwabo, abafunda, ngamaphupho abo, ukubhula, ukuphulukisa nokuxhumana nonkulunkulu, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi benza imikhuba eyahlukahlukene yokuthwasa. Umzuzu wokugcina wokuthwasa wawuhlanganisa ukugwinywa yinyoka noma esinye isilwane esinamandla bese uzalwa kabusha njengama-shaman, amadoda anamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. AmaShaman, ngenxa yethando elijabulisayo noma umphefumulo ongaphandle, owalethwa ukufakwa kwamakhowe nezitshalo ezisebenza ngengqondo, kanye nokuzindla, ukuzila ukudla, ukuzithiba kwezocansi nokukhishwa kwegazi labo, bakwazi ukuhlangana nonkulunkulu, shintsha ube yizilwane, uthathe uhambo oluya ezulwini nasezweni elingaphansi komhlaba, uthole abantu abalahlekile nezinto, uqagele imbangela yezifo, uvule izigebengu nabenzi bokubi, futhi ulawule amandla emvelo njengesichotho. Konke lokhu kwabenza baba ngabalamuli phakathi konkulunkulu nabantu.
Ku-Popol Vuh we i-quiche mayan Ababusi beShaman bachazwa kanjena:
“Amakhosi amakhulu namadoda ayedumile kwakungamakhosi anamandla uGucumatz noCotuhá, namakhosi anamandla uQuicab noCavizirnah. Babazi ukuthi impi izolwa yini futhi konke kwakucacile phambi kwamehlo abo ... Kodwa hhayi ngale ndlela kuphela isimo samakhosi sasikhulu; kwakukukhulu nokuzila ukudla kwabo ... Futhi ngezinzalamizi zezizwe zamaQuiche kwathiwa: “Bese kuthi, abantu abenza imilingo, uNawal Winak, bakhombe ukuza kwakhe. Ukubuka kwakhe kwafinyelela kude, ohlangothini nasemhlabeni; kwakungekho lutho olwalulingana nalokhu abakubona phansi kwezulu. Babengabantu abakhulu, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, izinhloko zawo wonke amaqembu eTecpán ”.
Ekufikeni kwabaseSpain, izangoma zahlehlela ekubhaceni, kepha zahlala zingamadoda ahlakaniphile futhi abukekayo kuleli dolobha, baqhubeka nokwenza ukuhweba kwabo njengabelaphi futhi ababhuli, futhi niqhubeke nikwenze lokho kuze kube namuhla.
