English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim: “People have said that five, including Shioyaki, will rebel. You are close to me. I cannot think of any reason to resent me. The Imperial court has rewarded you so highly—what is it that you resent so much to act so? I think there is nothing. Hereupon I forgive your crime. Do not do this anymore.”
