Get the Tedlock translation. I had a professor in college who specialized in this stuff and he recommended that. Also the bird who cleans the world, Rabinal achi, and others.

Tedlock is bad, you get a frozen snapshot of the Vuh after it's been colonized by white cancer and bowdlerized with Christcrap.
