English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim as the words of the Emperor: “Fujiwara-no-Asomi, you don’t only serve me now but you have served generations of Emperors, who are too awesome to even mention, and now, again, you serve and assist me as my official with a clean and pure heart. Since I feel this service is grave and painful, I consider it painful and grave that it looks like I am avoiding and refraining [from rewarding you] as I have fallen weak and am worried.”I proclaim, all of you hear the edict that says: “Also, I proclaim that the service of your father, Fujiwara-no-Ōomi, who served the emperor, too awesome to even mention who ruled the lands from the palace at Naniwa, was as good as how the great Takeuchi-no-Sukune served so I reward and bless you. According to what is written in law, I bestow you with five thousand families and this shall be received for a very long and distant time from now.”
