現代語訳

ご覧になって石垣下から下りなさいと言われたが、もし突き落とされた時には石垣下に数人の槍・長刀が多数あり、突き落とされては大変なことになる。第一、見事な振る舞いであると御不満に思われないようにと、三度まで十時内匠から申し越してきたので、それではどうしようかと申し、右の者どもが申し合わせて一度に上りました。立花殿の一手では軍法の申し渡しに「高名は無用とし、その場で討ち捨てよ」と仰せ渡されていました。その時右の旨を申しかねていたので高名はいたしませんでした。石谷十蔵殿、板倉主水殿がいらっしゃるところへ次太夫と内匠が同道して参り「ただ今の様子をご覧になりましたでしょうか」と申しましたところ、「見事な振る舞いに見届けた」と仰せられたので「今後お忘れになりませんように」と申し上げましたところ、「重ねてお忘れすることはない」とのお言葉を承りました。同じ備えに豊田久兵衛という者が両人に向かって申すには「昨日も石垣を早々に攻め、今日の体もしかと見届けましたので、きっと書付をいたしましょう」ということで、互いに申すのに小刀の差で名前を書き付けました。そうしたところ野村与右衛門、次太夫も甲に書付をいたしました。落城已後、立花殿一手の浪人どもが十時三弥から証拠の状が参ったので、何もない状はいやだと断り申したところ、十時工之

First and foremost, so as not to displease His Lordship regarding the excellent conduct, Toki Takumi sent word three times, so they said "What shall we do then?" and the aforementioned men consulted together and climbed up all at once. In Tachibana-dono's forces, the military law directive stated "Individual glory-seeking is unnecessary; strike them down on the spot," so they were ordered accordingly. At that time, since they hesitated to mention the aforementioned matter, they did not seek individual glory. When Jidayū and Takumi came together to where Lord Ishitani Jūzō and Lord Itakura Monnōkami were present and asked "Did you observe the situation just now?", they replied "We witnessed the excellent conduct," so when they said "Please do not forget this in the future," they received the word "We shall not forget this again." A man named Toyoda Kyūbei in the same unit said to both of them, "Yesterday too we quickly attacked the stone wall, and we have firmly witnessed today's performance, so we should certainly make a written record." They agreed with each other and wrote names with the tips of their short swords. Then Nomura Yoemon and Jidayū also made written records on their helmets. After the fall of the castle, among the rōnin of Tachibana-dono's forces, a certificate came from Toki Sanyanosuke, so when they refused saying they didn't want a certificate with nothing on it, Toki Kō-no...
