English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, imperial children, lords, statesmen, bureaucrats and the people of the world, all of you hear the edict which 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 words of the emperor which proclaim: “As I think that I, of poor ability and lacking, have humbly received the heavenly line of Amaterasu and fear it, not knowing whether to do this or that, I think, ‘how can I alone receive the reverent and pleasing edict’, so I call imperial child who I succeed and served in the palace at Kasuga, too awesome to mention, an emperor according to the laws. Also, I make all of my brothers and sisters who are lords into imperial children and raise their cap and rank. Further, I fix the lady at Inoe my empress.”
