1. 今勅久今日方大新嘗乃猶良比能豊明聞行日仁在。

2. 然此遍能常余利別仁在故方　朕方仏能御弟子等之天菩薩能戒乎受賜天在。

3. 此仁依天上都方波三宝仁供奉次仁方天社国社乃神等乎毛為夜備末都利　次仁方供奉留親王多知臣多知百官能人等　天下能人民諸乎愍賜慈賜牟等念天奈毛還天復天下乎治賜。

4. 故汝等毛安久於多比仁侍天　由紀湏伎二国乃献礼留黒紀白紀能御酒乎赤丹乃保仁多末倍恵良伎常毛賜酒幣乃物乎賜方利以天退止為天奈毛御物賜方久止宣。

5. 復勅久　神等乎方三宝余利離天不触物曾止奈毛人能念天在。

6. 然経乎見末都礼方　仏能御法乎護末都利尊末都流方諸乃神多知仁伊末志家利。

7. 故是以　出家人毛白衣毛相雑天供奉仁豈障事波不在止念天奈毛　本忌之可如久方不忌之天　此乃大嘗方聞行止宣御命乎　諸聞食止宣。

English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which I now proclaim: “Today is the day we partake of the drinking feast of Naorai for Onie. However, the reason why the feast this time is more special than usual is that I have become a disciple of the Buddha and have humbly received the precepts of the Boddhisatva. So, thinking that above all I shall serve the three treasures of Buddha, next I shall show respect to the gods of the heavenly and earthly shrines and next I shall pity and make beautiful the imperial children, statesmen, and bureaucrats who serve me and the people of the world, I return [to the throne] and rule the world again. So I bestow [you] with imperial gifts so that you too will serve under me calmly and peacefully and, receive and relish the black and white sake, which the two provinces of Yuki and Saki have offered up, until your face turns a bright red, and leave receiving the sake offering I always bestow.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which also proclaims: “People think that it is the gods that are not [to be touched] more so than the three treasures. However, when I looked at the sutras, it was all the Gods [who should] protect and revere the laws of the Buddha. So, with this, thinking that there would surely be no interferences when the priests and the laymen mix together and serve, I make that which fundamentally is to be avoided like that which is not to be avoided and partake in the Onie.”
