冊封中山王図

現代語訳

内外の区別なく、みな輯綏を与える。およそ賓貢するところは、存恤を忘れない。功労あれば必ず報い、遠くとも遺さない。これは懐柔を示し、大典を昭らかにする所以である。汝琉球国王の嗣尚益は、先王を承け祚を受け、志を継ぎ忠を輸す。世々勲労を著し、共球を奉じて内に向かう。代々朝請を修し、溟渤を航して誠に帰す。すなわち職に涖むこと三年に止まり、嗣封は再世に闕く。藩服を眷言すれば、まさに多福を膺けることを期していた。努めて嘉猷を樹てんとしていたが、どうして修齢の得難きを意とし、訃音が遠く告げられようとは。褒恤を特に申す。錫命は生前に逮ばずといえども、栄施は実に身後に隆んである。ここに祭醊を頒ち、用いて専官を遣わす。嗚呼、玉冊は遥かに伝わり、庶くは来王の志を慰めん。綸函覃被し、聿に撫遠の忱を昭らかにす。載ち牲犧を設け、庶くはその歆格せよ。

冊封中山王図

英語訳

There is no distinction between inner and outer territories - all receive pacification and comfort. Regarding all tributary offerings, We do not forget to show care and compassion. When there is merit, it must be rewarded; even if distant, none are overlooked. This is how We demonstrate embracing gentleness and illuminate the grand ceremonies. You, Shō Eki, heir to the Ryukyu Kingdom throne, inherited from your predecessor and received the throne, continuing his aspirations and rendering loyal service. For generations showing distinguished service, serving the realm while turning toward the center. Generation after generation maintaining court attendance, sailing across the vast seas to return in sincerity. However, your tenure in office lasted only three years, and the hereditary investiture was interrupted for two generations. Looking with favor upon the tributary state, We expected you to receive many blessings and strive to establish good governance. How could We have anticipated that longevity would be difficult to attain, and that news of death would be reported from afar? Special commendation and compassion are hereby declared. Though the imperial mandate did not reach you while living, the glorious favor is truly abundant after death. Therefore We bestow sacrificial offerings and dispatch a special envoy. Alas! The jade册travels far, hopefully to comfort the aspirations of the future king. The imperial missive extends its grace, truly illuminating Our sincere feelings for governing distant lands. We establish sacrificial animals - may your spirit receive and enjoy them.
