English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, imperial children, lords, statesmen and bureaucrats and the people of the world, hear the imperial edict which I proclaim as the divine words of the emperor who rules the eight islands as a living god.I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which says: “My Lord/Emperor, the Yamato ruler, who is a living god and is too awesome to mention burden and bestows unable and lacking me with the high throne of heaven the line of Amaterasu [saying] ‘humbly receive this and serve’ and so I humbly fearfully receive it and I am fearing and in awe not knowing what to do.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which proclaims: “However I hear that a lord who rules the world as an emperor is someone who rules the world peacefully and calmly [only] by obtaining wise people for good statesmen. Therefore I proclaim in an edict: I think, though I am of poor ability and lacking, only with the imperial children, to begin with, and the lords and the statesmen advising and saving me together, I can serve safely and calmly the governance of the world that I impose and bestow. So without flattering or fooling [me] and with a sincere and clear loyalty all of you save me and serve humbly with the governance of the world, the country I rule.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which also proclaims: “Of those who humbly serve, according to how they serve I will raise the cap and rank of one or two. I bestow gifts on bureaucrats from ranked officials upwards and the priests ranked Negi and Hori of the shrines, starting with the divine Godly palace. I distribute things to the priests and nuns of the Shi rank in the temples, starting with the priest bureaucrats. Also I pardon the bureaucrats, soldiers of the provinces, soldiers of the Chinjufu Shogun, and the stable houses their field tax for this year.
