English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, Imperial children, Lords, nobles, officials and people of the world, all of you hear this edict I proclaim as the words of the Emperor, the Yamato ruler, who rules the eight-islands as a living God.I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that says: “The crazy and confused Naramaro and Komaro, evil and rebellious men, planned to do the following in order to steal the succession of the high throne of the heavenly line, which has been decided by the benevolent Imperial gods and goddesses who gather on the high plain. Naramaro and Komaro planned to incite and lead a rebellious group and, first, surround the house of the minister of the court and kill him then immediately surround the Imperial palace and force out the Imperial heir of the heavenly line and next disrupt the palace of my Great Parent, snatching the bell, seal and sign, summon the Minister of the Right and make him proclaim an order to the realm. They planned to, after this, expel the Emperor and select a Lord from four Princes. So, in the night of the twenty ninth day of the sixth month they joined the officials of the Chancellor of the Realm, drank salt soup and swore an oath and they worshipped the four directions of heaven and earth. They planned to stir up their armies on the second day of the seventh month and at the time of the Sheep on the second day they summoned Kamitsumichi-no-Asomi, Hidatsu, a person of the district of Kamitsumichi in Kibi-no-Michi-no-Kuchi province, a provincial official of the Naka-no-Mamori and Ono-no-Azuminohito and enticed them to take part in the plot. I pardon them for saying they would take part and they told me of the plan in detail at the time of the Boar that day. So, thinking and asking, [he] humbly said that all of this was truthful and I punished all of them. Thinking and asking about this, all they say is true and they all accepted their punishments. Examining the laws, they all correspond to death penalty. Although this is the case, I lighten their punishment, change their names and banish them to a distant land so that I may bless them. I think, as a god, that surely these rebellious and evil men came forward and wholly accepted their punishments because of the gods of heaven and earth blessing and protecting the realm and the Spirits of the Emperors, too awesome to mention, who have ruled the realm here since the start of heaven and earth, expelling and discarding dirty men and because of the inconceivably awesome power of Rushana, the Buddha, the Kanzeon Boddhisatva, the followers of Buddhist law, Brahma, Sakra, and the Four Heavenly Kings.I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that also says: “The people, who were tricked by these crazy men, think them treading in the capital is dirty so I move them to a wooden house in Okachi village in Ideha province.”
