English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, Lords, nobles, officials and people of the realm, all of you hear the edict I proclaim as the words of the Emperor, the Yamato ruler, who rules the eight-island realm as a living God.I proclaim, all of you hear: “I have heard and receive in fear the edict proclaimed by the Emperor, the Yamato ruler, who rules the eight-island realm in the throne of the heavenly line, spreading far and wide the governance of the whole realm, as the Imperial gods and goddesses, gathered in the high plain, created the realm in the high plain according to their entrusting it as the realm that my descendants shall rule. The edict proclaims: ‘This, our realm, is the throne of the realm bestowed to you by your Imperial father, too awesome to mention, who ruled the realm form the palace at Fujiwara.’ ”I proclaim, all of you hear the edict that says: “I humbly received and knew in awe the imperial edict that says: ‘When this was proclaimed you were young and I thought the burden would be too much for you to bear so I bestowed the throne to my Lady, the Empress, too awesome to mention and your godly parent. So she ruled the eight-island realm as a living God from the palace at Nara and, in the first year of Reiki, bestowed and passed on the throne of the heavenly line and proclaimed, teaching me: “Certainly and joyfully bestow this throne to my child without fail, according to the laws, the eternal laws that can never be improved upon, which were established and disseminated by the Emperor, the Yamato ruler, too awesome to mention, who ruled the realm from the palace at Ōmi-no-Ōtsu.” Proclaiming this, the Empress burdened me with the task and in the ninth month of last year a Great sign of heaven and earth appeared. Also, seeing the people gained a bountiful and joyous crop in the whole realm, I thought, as a god, that this should not be something that happens in my reign. Thinking these were things that appeared in response of the reign that you shall now inherit, I make the two characters ‘Jinki’ (Heavenly Turtle) the era name and change this year from the eighth year of Yōrō to the first year of Jinki and bestow and pass on the throne of the heavenly line, the throne of the realm to you, the Lord, my child.’ If I reject this then it is disrespectful to the Imperial edict, if I receive and serve in the throne then I know nothing, being unskilled and lacking. Not knowing what to do, I, as a god, am troubled and ashamed as to how the officials think and pained and concerned for the will of heaven and earth. So, you, Imperial children, Lords and nobles, advise and assist the Imperial court with a pure, clean, correct and properly heart and tell me of the people of the realm.”I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that also says: “I think, as a god, that caring for and blessing this, our realm, in the throne of the heavenly line, from the reigns of ancient Emperors until now, is carried out according to the time and circumstances. So, before all, I bless the people of the realm: ‘[Chinese]. Also, I bestow family names, that they can be burdened with and serve me, on one or two foreigner people serving as officials. Also, I bestow gifts on the officials and the priests and nuns of the capital.”
