現代語訳
以上のように相違があります。十ヶ年の年季が明けた際、吉田屋勘蔵のところへ私が出向いて交渉しましたところ、六兵衛は江戸表へ出て留守でしたので、どうしようもなく、未だ八月から子（天保十一年）八月まで中五ヶ年の間延長してくれるよう、ひたすら無心を申し出られましたので、そのまま延長いたしました。その後六兵衛が帰宅しても何の挨拶もなく、年限が経っても一切何の相談もございませんので、その証文の面にも年季が明けた節は永続して所持できるよう示談が整い決着していることから、流れ地として放置している次第でございます。
一、江州永楽屋弥三郎から兄利兵衛が太物代金を借り越していましたところ、天保五午年の類焼の際、代呂物が多分に焼失し、代金を支払いかねることになりました。そこで金子を借用として百両の証文を差し入れ、延期してくれるよう申し談じて承諾を得ました。その後兄利兵衛が上穂町住居の折、金四十両を永楽屋へ渡し、残金六十両の返金ができませんので、実家の北福地村で家屋敷を書き入れることで申し談じ承諾を得ましたが、役印等もすぐには間に合いませんので、それまでの間、その六兵衛から取り置いていた質地証文を渡し、利兵衛が

There are discrepancies as stated above. When the 10-year term expired, I went to Yoshidaya Kanzō's place to negotiate, but since Rokubei had gone to Edo and was absent, there was nothing that could be done. He earnestly requested an extension from the 8th month until the 8th month of the Year of the Rat (Tempō 11, 1840) - a period of five years in between - so I extended it as requested. Even after Rokubei returned home, he offered no greetings, and even after the term expired, there was no consultation whatsoever. Since the contract document stated that upon expiration of the term, he could possess it permanently through mutual agreement, and this matter had been settled, I have left it as abandoned land.
First, my elder brother Rihei had outstanding debts to Eirakuya Yasaburō of Ōmi Province for textile goods. During the conflagration in Tempō 5, Year of the Horse (1834), a large quantity of substitute goods was destroyed by fire, making it difficult to pay the outstanding amount. Therefore, he submitted a promissory note for 100 ryō as a loan and negotiated for an extension, which was agreed upon. Later, when elder brother Rihei was residing in Kamiho-machi, he paid 40 ryō to Eirakuya, but since he could not repay the remaining 60 ryō, it was agreed that he would mortgage his house and residential property in his family home of Kitafukuchi Village. However, since the official seals and such could not be prepared immediately, in the meantime, he handed over the mortgage certificate that had been kept from Rokubei, and Rihei...
