I proclaim, imperial children, lords, statesmen, bureaucrats and the people of the
world, all of you hear the edict that 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: “According to
the laws I raise Wosabe, the empress, and make her the heir. So, understanding this,
serve, bureaucrats!”I proclaim, all of you hear the words of the emperor which proclaim:
“With this I forgive all the punishments of the criminals of the world. Further, I
raise the cap and rank of one or two people. Also I bestow gifts on the bureaucrats.
I will cultivate the elderly, poor and pious.”
