現代語訳

人に祈禱させる。
　凡そ跪拝は皆合掌膜拝し地に伏して久しく、それから起きて手を搓るのを敬とする。婦女の
　拝は先ず双手で左右に三払いし、膜拝叩首するのは男礼と同じである。舅姑や尊
　長に見える時に始めて行うもので、平行では交拝等の礼儀はない。
　凡そ仏を拝するには先ず膜拝一叩頭四拝手九払い、再び一首を叩いて起立し、
　また三十三払いする。父兄が病者に代わって許愿し神に求める者は共に三百三十
　三払いする。
　　学
　聖廟は久米村泉崎橋の北、門は南向きで、大門を進むと庭は方広十
　余畝、上に拝台を設け、正堂三間、夫子像の前にまた木主四配を設け、
　各々手に一経を持ち、正中の梁上にもまた模して
御書万世師表の四大字を榜書し、前使汪・林各々記書の木牌があり
　上に立て左右に置く（文多く録さず）。康熙十三年に廟を立てたがまだ学はなかった。康熙五
　十六年、紫金大夫程順則は学宮が未だ備わらないため、汪・林二公の
　廟記の意を取り、啓請して明倫堂を建てた。また堂中の北壁に近い所で小三
　間に分け、啓聖並びに四配の神主を奉祀した。五十七年秋七月に起工し、冬
　十月に告成した。明倫堂の左右両廡には経書籍文を蓄え、略々備わった。国王は
　また紫金大夫程順則に命じて刊刻させた。

英語訳

order the people to pray.
　In general, all genuflecting worship involves joining palms in reverent prostration, lying prone on the ground for a long time, then rising and rubbing hands together as a sign of respect. For women's
　worship, they first wave both hands left and right three times, then perform reverent prostration and kowtowing the same as men's ritual. This is first performed when meeting parents-in-law and respected
　elders; in ordinary circumstances there are no such rituals as mutual bowing.
　In general, when worshipping Buddha, first perform reverent prostration, one kowtow, four bows, nine hand waves, then kowtow once more and stand up,
　then perform thirty-three waves. When fathers and elder brothers make vows on behalf of the sick or petition the gods, they perform three hundred thirty-
　three waves together.
　　Learning
　The Sacred Temple is located north of Sensakibashi Bridge in Kume Village, with its gate facing south. Entering the great gate, the courtyard extends over ten
　mu square, with a worship platform set up above. The main hall has three bays, with wooden tablets of the four companions placed in front of the Master's statue,
　each holding one classic text. On the central beam above, there is also inscribed
the imperial calligraphy of the four great characters "Teacher for Ten Thousand Generations." In front stand wooden plaques with inscriptions by former envoys Wang and Lin
　placed on the left and right (the text is lengthy and not recorded). In the thirteenth year of Kangxi a temple was established but there was no school yet. In the fifty-
　sixth year of Kangxi, Purple-Gold Official Cheng Shunze, because the school building was not yet complete, took the intent of the temple records by the two officials Wang and Lin
　and petitioned to build the Minglun Hall. Also, near the north wall of the hall, he divided it into three small
　sections to enshrine the spirit tablets of Qisheng and the four companions. Construction began in the autumn seventh month of the fifty-seventh year, and was completed in winter
　the tenth month. The left and right corridors of Minglun Hall store classic books and texts, roughly complete. The king
　also commanded Purple-Gold Official Cheng Shunze to undertake printing and engraving.
