English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim in an edict: “The way you have served is not only now but in the reign of the emperor too awesome to mention who ruled from the palace at Omi-no-Otsu your great-grandfather Fujiwara-no-Asomi-no-Uchi served and assisted the imperial court with a pure and clear heart. In the reign of the emperor who ruled the world from Fujiwara, your grandfather the Chancellor of the Realm, again with a pure and clear heart, assisted and served the imperial court. Now, you have assisted and served I who am lacking. I think the humble serving through the ages of wise statesmen is troublesome and diligent. So with this [he] is both the inheritor of the humble service of his parents and he also serves as my great lord painfully and gravely so I raise him to be the great Lord, the Chancellor of the Realm, but when I bestowed this rank he firmly rejected it and did not receive it. However thinking that I will bestow it to him again, I raise him to the role of Chancellor of the Realm.”
