1. 天皇何大御命良麻止 勅大御命乎　衆聞食止勅。

2. 仕奉人等中尔　其仕奉随状　治給人毛在。

3. 　又御軍尔仕奉礼留尔依弖 治給人毛在。

4. 然此多比　賜位冠方　常与利方異仁在。

5. 可久賜故方　平伎時仁奉侍己止方 誰人可不奉侍在牟。

6. 如此久宇治方夜伎時仁 身命乎不惜之天 貞久明久浄心乎以天 朝庭乎 護奉侍流人等乎己曾　治賜比 哀賜倍伎物尔 在止奈毛念。

7. 故是以　今由久前仁毛緩怠事无之天　諸能劣家牟人等乎毛 教伊佐奈比進　常与利毛 益湏益湏勤結理奉侍止之天奈毛　冠位上給治給久止宣御命乎　諸聞食止宣。

English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the edict which I proclaim as the words of the emperor. “Among those who serve there are those who I reward according to their service. There are also those who I reward by their serving in my army. Thus the caps and ranks that I bestow on this occasion are different to usual. The reason for such bestowal who, in peaceful times, who would not serve? I think that it is those who protect and serve the court in rough times with a correct, clear and pure heart not fearing to lose their lives who I should take pity on and reward. From now on too do not become slack and idle and move forward teaching and leading all who will be lacking, and be diligent focus and serve even more than usual; it is so that you will do so that I raise your cap and rank.”
