現代語訳

【右丁】
取って戻ろうとするところに、かの百姓等五十～六十人ほどが追いかけて、右の兵左衛門を討ち殺した。

別当杢左衛門覚書によると、角蔵三吉が召し捕られたことを無念に思ったのだろうか、南有馬岡という所で代官林兵左衛門を十月二十五日の午前十時頃殺害した。本間九郎左衛門も害そうと相談していたが、北有馬庄屋長助という者が日頃九郎左衛門に目をかけており、その上キリシタンの志がない者で、この内談を九郎左衛門に通達し、即座に弟一人、倅（息子）一人を付き添わせて逃がそうと相談した。しかし道口には方々に番の者を置いているので通ることができず、世倅（息子）と弟は有

【左丁】
馬から温泉越をして島原へ向かわせた。九郎左衛門については、北岡という所に鉄砲屋があり、これは確実にキリシタンとも見えないので、この鉄砲屋大膳のところへお越しになって相談されるようにと勧めたところ、上下三人で十月二十五日の夕方六時頃、遠潟の波打ち際を忍んで参ったところ、折しも天草からキリシタンの絵像の仏を拝みに参った者共が乗り捨てて置いた小船に出会い、これに乗り込んで漕ぎ出した。そうしているところに島原表から家老岡本新兵衛を大将として兵船数多が参ったので、有馬村立石の沖で出会い、船が近くなると「何船ぞ」と申すので「本間九郎左衛門」と答え、それより有馬の様子を一々新兵衛に

英語訳

[Right page]
As he was trying to take [the items] back, about fifty to sixty peasants pursued him and killed the aforementioned Hyozaemon.

According to the memorandum of Betto Mokuazemon, perhaps [they] thought it regrettable that Kakuzo and Sankichi were arrested - at a place called Oka in Minami-Arima, they killed deputy Hayashi Hyozaemon around the fourth hour (10 AM) on October 25th. They also planned to harm Honma Kuroemon, but a man called Chosuke, the village headman of Kita-Arima, who had always looked after Kuroemon and moreover was not a Christian believer, informed Kuroemon of this plot. They immediately planned to have him escape with one brother and one son accompanying him. However, since guards were stationed at various road checkpoints making passage impossible, the son and brother were sent via Arima

through the hot spring pass to Shimabara. As for Kuroemon, there was a gunsmith at a place called Kitaoka who did not appear to be a Christian, so [Chosuke] advised him to go to this gunsmith Daizen's place for consultation. Following this advice, three people including servants went stealthily along the shoreline of Toogata around 6 PM on October 25th. By chance, they found a small boat that had been abandoned by people who had come from Amakusa to worship Christian painted images of Buddha. They boarded this boat and rowed out. While doing so, many warships came from Shimabara led by chief retainer Okamoto Shinbei as commander. They met offshore of Tateishi in Arima village, and when the ships came close and [someone] called "What ship is that?", [he] answered "Honma Kuroemon," and from then reported the situation in Arima in detail to Shinbei.
