English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, officials and people of the realm hear the edict I proclaim as the words of the emperor.I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which proclaims: “It has been revealed that Inoe-no-Himemiko, the mother of the Lord Wosabe who is now a heavenly heir, has performed high treason by cursing not only once or twice but many times. I do not think that the high throne of the heavenly line of Amaterasu is my own private throne. So my great lords, the officials and the realm will think if shameful and embarrassing if I make the child of one who has committed high treason an heavenly child, who are decided and commanded to be the heir to the throne. Since I think not only this but also that this governance does not make future reigns safe, peaceful, long and stable, I cease and withdraw the position of the Osabe lord as heavenly child.”
