English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the edict that is proclaimed as the words of the Emperor, the Yamato ruler, who rules the realm as a living God.I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that says: “The realm was entrusted as the realm my descendants shall rule by the Imperial gods and goddesses who gather on the high plain and according to this I think, as a god, that acting in the throne of the heavenly line of my realm is ruling the realm through reigns of Emperors from the reigns of ancient Emperors.”I proclaim, Imperial children, Lords, nobles, officials and people of the realm, all of you hear the Imperial edict that says: “I receive in awe the Edict proclaimed by the Emperor who ruled the realm from the palace at Nara: ‘According to the laws that the emperor, too awesome to mention, who ruled the realm from the palace at Ōmi-no-Ōtsu, created and established as eternal laws never to be improved upon, this high throne of the heavenly line is in my words and shall be in your words for generations.’ As I blessed the realm my governances became many and complex and I can no longer endure it so according to the law I bestow the high throne of the heavenly line to my Lord, my Imperial heir.”I proclaim, all of you hear another edict I proclaim as the words of the Emperor.I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that says: “I am burdened by my Lord, the Emperor, too awesome to mention, telling me to receive the throne of the heavenly line and serve. I receive and think it awesome and do not know what to do in awe.”I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that says: “So I proclaim in this edict: I think, as a god, that only by the Imperial children, Lords and nobles all receiving the governances of my realm that the Imperial court sets out and assisting and serving unwaveringly with a clean and pure heart, despite me being incapable and lacking, shall I rule and bless the realm calmly and peacefully.”
