現代語訳

左衛門次左衛門は海手方へ参り、左近のお備えと一緒になって本丸二の丸の内で槍を突き合わせた者共を打ち捨てにし、次太夫喜之助の働きを左近様のお内の疋田四郎左衛門という人がよく見届け、落城以後、武者大将十時三弥之助同じく内匠助に語り、その段は別紙に内匠助方から証文がある。その後、左近様のお備えと一緒に出合い、蓮池の上、本丸海手の方、坂下に備えを立てたところ、本丸石垣際に指揮する者が少し見えたので、次太夫が皆に向かって申すには「各々いかが思し召しか、まず石垣際へお付きになり様子次第に行動されてはいかがか」と申したが、そう思う

者もいなかったので、水谷治右衛門がいかがかと重ねて言葉をかけると、治右衛門が申すには「備えに出て先駆けをしても、いかような高名をしても、その手柄にはならない」との軍法の上では、石垣などに参ることは同心してのことではないと申したので、「左様であれば我等一人で参ろう」として坂を登り石垣の根に付き、そのまま石垣を乗り越えたところ、指物が石垣の上に見えるやいなや、敵が葉松明に火を付けて投げかけ、石で打ち、甲冑の間を打って石垣下へ落とされ、少し気を失い、しばらくして起き上がる間に、左近様のお備えから坂から上へ登ってきたので、また一緒に乗り込んだ。その時、紀州様のお内の長尾勘兵衛という人も、その

Zaemon Jizaemon went to the seaside direction and joined with Sakon's unit. Within the main citadel and ni-no-maru, they abandoned those who had engaged in spear combat. Jidayū Kinosuke's military exploits were well witnessed by a man named Hikita Shirōzaemon from Sakon-sama's retinue, and after the castle fell, he related this to the warrior commander Totoki Sanyanosuke and Takumi-nosuke. There is a written testimony from Takumi-nosuke's side regarding this matter on a separate document. After that, they met together with Sakon-sama's unit and established their formation below the slope on the seaside of the main citadel, above Hasuike pond. When a few commanding figures could be seen near the main citadel's stone wall, Jidayū addressed everyone: "What do you all think? First, why don't you approach the stone wall and act according to the situation?" However, since no one seemed to agree,

when Mizutani Jiemon asked what should be done, Jiemon replied that according to military law, "Even if one charges ahead of the formation and achieves any kind of distinguished service, it will not count as merit," and approaching the stone walls was not done with group consensus. Therefore, [Jidayū] said, "If that is the case, I shall go alone," climbed the slope, reached the base of the stone wall, and climbed over it. As soon as his battle standard became visible above the stone wall, the enemy set fire to leafy torches and hurled them, struck with stones, hit the gaps in his armor, and knocked him down below the stone wall. He lost consciousness briefly, but while recovering and getting up, Sakon-sama's unit climbed up the slope from below, so he joined them in the assault again. At that time, a man named Nagao Kanbei from Kishū-sama's retinue also, that
