現代語訳

間に合わなかった者は押しつぶされてしまった。損傷箇所は、高麗御門という御本丸へ入る総銅の御門が内の方へ倒れかかり、続いて御櫓・御土塀・御天守台所などが損傷した。御堀端通りは残らず二、三寸ずつ（沈下し）、その外御城中並びに御小屋内は一面に蜘蛛の巣のようにひび割れた。西御門脇御小屋裏の高土居の上は、幅一尺程ひび割れ、二十間余りの御土居であるが、外の御堀の方へ今にも倒れ落ちそうにふらふらしている様子である。その他、御太鼓櫓の石段・雁木がなだれ落ち、上の土塀も倒れかかり、中仕切御門台続きの石垣が二間程抜け落ち、三、四尺ほどの石の落下があった。西御門もねじれ、往来が危険なため、一人ずつ急いで通り、米を斗（一斗）ずつ少しずつ運んでいるとのこと。西御門続きの御土居上塀が倒れ、御城外が見通せる状態。御廊下橋入口御門並びに土塀が十間、二十間程ずつ崩れ、御厩曲輪通りの御筋堀は残らず敷石が取れ、所々で抜け倒れた。東御門大番所後の土塀は大体倒れ、御破損定御小屋一ヶ所が潰れ、東御門台の石垣は所々で孕んでいる。

英語訳

Those who could not escape in time were crushed. As for the damaged areas: the Kōrai Gate, which is the main copper gate leading to the main castle compound, fell inward, and subsequently the turrets, earthen walls, and castle keep's kitchen facilities were damaged. The entire moat-side road sank by two to three inches everywhere, and throughout the castle grounds and quarters, cracks appeared everywhere like spider webs. Above the high earthwork behind the quarters near the West Gate, cracks about one shaku wide appeared, and though this earthwork extends for over twenty ken, it sways unsteadily as if about to collapse toward the outer moat. In addition, the stone steps and wooden stairs of the Drum Turret collapsed like an avalanche, the earthen walls above also began falling, the stone walls connecting to the partition gate platform gave way for about two ken, with stones of three to four shaku falling. The West Gate was also twisted, making passage dangerous, so people pass through one at a time hurriedly, carrying rice little by little, about one to (measure) at a time. The earthen walls above the earthwork continuing from the West Gate collapsed, making the outside of the castle visible. The entrance gate to the corridor bridge and earthen walls collapsed in sections of ten to twenty ken each. Along the stable compound road, all the stone paving of the water channels came loose, collapsing and giving way in various places. Most of the earthen walls behind the East Gate guardhouse collapsed, one quarters building designated for damage assessment was destroyed, and the stone walls of the East Gate platform are bulging in several places.
