現代語訳

四年癸酉に薨じた。

尚泰久

明景泰五年甲戌、尚泰久が即位した。

『中山世鑑』によると、泰久は尚金福の第一子で、永楽十三年乙未に生まれ、四十歳で即位した。

『明史実録』によると、金福が既に卒すると、その弟布里とその子志魯が立つことを争い、府庫を焚焼し、両者とも傷ついて俱に絶えた。所賜の鍍金銀印も亦た鎔け壊れた。国人は尚泰久を推して国事を権らせた。景泰五年、泰久はこのことを以て聞し、并せて印を鋳造して頒賜することを請うた。所司にこれを給することを命じた。已にして又使を遣わして入貢させ、表には「琉球国掌国事王弟尚泰久」と称した。景帝は勅書及び綵幣を齎らせ、帰って王弟に賜うことを命じた。六年、王弟は両度使を遣わして入貢し、給事中厳誠【割書：『殊域周咨録』では李秉彝に作る】を正使と為し、行人劉倹を副使と為して遣わし、詔を齎らせて王弟尚泰久を封じて王を嗣がせた。詔して曰く「帝王は天下を主宰し、恒に一視して同仁なり。藩屏は国中を表率し、或いは同気を以て相い嗣ぐ。朕躬ら天命を膺け諸侯を撫馭す。琉球国王尚金福既に薨じ、その弟尚泰久は性資英厚にして国衆帰心す。茲に特に使を遣わして勅を齎らせ封じて琉球国中山王と為す。凡そ彼の国中の遠近の臣庶は宜しく悉心輔翼すべく、或いは乖違すること罔かれ。長く忠順の心を堅くし、永く太平の福を享けよ。故に茲に詔示し、咸く聞知せしむ」と。又た王に勅して曰く「爾は先世より恪守藩維し、爾の兄に伝及し

英語訳

[He] died in the fourth year, gui-you (1453).

Shō Taikyū

In the fifth year of Jingtai, jia-xu (1454), Shō Taikyū ascended the throne.

According to the "Chūzan Seikan" (Mirror of Chūzan Generations), Taikyū was the first son of Shō Kinpuku, born in the thirteenth year of Yongle, yi-wei (1415), and ascended the throne at forty years old.

According to the "Ming Shilu" (Veritable Records of Ming), after Kinpuku died, his younger brother Furi and his son Shirō competed for the throne, burned the government treasury, and both were wounded and died together. The bestowed gold-plated silver seal was also melted and destroyed. The people of the country supported Shō Taikyū to govern state affairs. In the fifth year of Jingtai (1454), Taikyū reported this matter and also requested that a seal be cast and bestowed. [The emperor] commanded the relevant officials to provide it. Soon after, [he] again dispatched envoys to submit tribute, with memorials styling [himself] as "Shō Taikyū, royal brother governing state affairs of the Ryukyu Kingdom." Emperor Jingtai commanded [the envoys] to carry an imperial edict and colored silk to return and bestow them upon the royal brother. In the sixth year, the royal brother twice dispatched envoys to submit tribute, and [the emperor] sent Administrative Vice Censor Yan Cheng [marginal note: "Shuyu Zhouzilu" records this as Li Bingyi] as chief envoy and Herald Liu Jian as deputy envoy, carrying an imperial decree to enfeoff royal brother Shō Taikyū to succeed as king. The decree stated: "Emperors rule over all under Heaven, always viewing with impartiality and showing universal benevolence. Vassal states lead their countries, sometimes succeeding through blood relations. We personally received the Mandate of Heaven to govern all feudal lords. Since King Shō Kinpuku of the Ryukyu Kingdom has died, his brother Shō Taikyū possesses excellent and magnanimous character, and the people of the country have given him their allegiance. We now specially dispatch envoys carrying this edict to enfeoff him as King of Chūzan of the Ryukyu Kingdom. All officials and commoners, far and near, within that country should wholeheartedly assist and support [him], and let there be no discord or disobedience. Long maintain loyal and obedient hearts, and forever enjoy the blessings of great peace. Therefore this decree is proclaimed for all to hear and know." [The emperor] also issued an edict to the king saying: "Since your ancestors you have faithfully maintained your vassal obligations, passed down to your elder brother
