English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, imperial children, lords, officials and the people of the realm, hear the edict I proclaim as the words of the emperor who rules the eight-island realm as a living God.I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict that says: “I receive and think awesome the precious, high, broad and benevolent edict of the Emperor [, the Yamato ruler, who rules the eight-island realm as a living God. The edict bestows and burdens me with the Imperial throne of the heavenly line and the inherited throne ruling over the eight-island realm, which started in the high plain, continued through the ancient Imperial Reigns until now and shall continue with future Imperial heirs. The Emperor bestows this as an Imperial child of the heavenly gods according to how the gods in heaven ordered it to be. I, as a God, shall order and rule over my realm and bless and care for the people of the realm.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict that says: “So, you, the bureaucrats I have sent far-and-wide and ordered, and even the emissaries I have sent to the provinces, commanding you to govern the all the corners of the realm: serve me, endeavor sincerely, do not become slack or idle, distinguish right from wrong with a clean, pure, correct and sincere heart and do not break the laws of the land.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict that says: “Hear this. I shall give various gifts, promote and reward those who understand it and diligently serve me, according to their service.”
