現代語訳

及び方物を俱に衣幣を賜った。五年（1469年）、王は長史蔡璟を遣わして入貢し、また使査農是等を遣わして入貢し、宴賚は例の如し。

中山世鑑に云う、尚徳君は徳を修めず、朝暮漁猟し、暴虐無道であった。鬼界島が叛いて朝貢しないこと数年、王は自ら将として之を攻伐し、帰って弥々自満し以て敗亡を致した。在位九年、年未だ三十ならずして成化五年己丑（1469年）薨去し、寿二十九歳であった。世子は幼稚なため国人これを廃し、内間里主御鎖側を奉じて中山王尚円とした。

思紹より尚巴志に至り尚徳まで、凡そ七伝、共に六十四年。

尚円
明の成化六年庚寅（1470年）、尚円が即位した。

中山世鑑に云う、尚円は北夷伊平の人で即ち葉壁山である。永楽十三年乙未（1415年）に生まれ、字は思徳金。その先祖は知ることができない。或いは義本が譲位して北山に隠れたといい、疑うらくは即ちその後であろうという。一説に云う、葉壁に古岳という名があり天孫岳という。尚円は即ち天孫氏の裔である。父尚稷は里主であった。尚円の生には異瑞があった。年二十四にして始めて国頭に渡り来たって中山に仕えた。尚金福の時、始めて黄帽を給せられた。尚泰久の時、内間の領主となり、内間の民は皆これを親愛した。時に久しく旱して田苗は皆枯れたが、独りその田は雨無くして潤い、民は驚いて異なりと伝えた。王は懼れて妻子を載せ隠避すること一十四年。徳日々懋まり、尚金福はその賢を聞いて召して黄帽官となした。

英語訳

and local products, and was granted clothing and silk for both. In the fifth year (1469), the king sent Chief Secretary Cai Jing to submit tribute and also sent envoys including Cha Nongshi to submit tribute, with banquets and rewards as usual.

The Chūzan Seikan states: King Shō Toku did not cultivate virtue, engaged in fishing and hunting morning and evening, and was tyrannical and immoral. Kikaijima rebelled and did not pay tribute for several years. The king personally led forces to attack it, and upon returning became increasingly arrogant, leading to his downfall. He reigned for nine years, died before reaching thirty in the fifth year of Chenghua, ji-chou (1469), at the age of twenty-nine. Since the heir apparent was young, the people of the kingdom deposed him and elevated Uchima Satunushi Omisasoki to become King Shō En of Chūzan.

From Shishō through Shō Hashi to Shō Toku, altogether seven generations spanning sixty-four years.

Shō En
In the sixth year of Chenghua of the Ming dynasty, geng-yin (1470), Shō En ascended the throne.

The Chūzan Seikan states: Shō En was a person from Hokuii Ihei, namely Hapekiyama. He was born in the thirteenth year of Yongle, yi-wei (1415), with the courtesy name Shitokukin. His ancestry cannot be known. Some say that Yoshimoto abdicated and went into hiding in Hokuzan, and he is suspected to be his descendant. Another account says that in Hapeki there was an ancient peak called Tensondake. Shō En was a descendant of the Tenson clan. His father Shō Shoku served as village headman. Shō En's birth was accompanied by auspicious omens. At age twenty-four, he first crossed to Kunigami and came to serve Chūzan. During Shō Kinpuku's time, he was first granted the yellow cap. During Shō Taikyū's time, he became lord of Uchima, and all the people of Uchima loved and respected him. During a prolonged drought when all rice seedlings withered, his fields alone remained moist without rain, and the people were amazed and spoke of it as miraculous. The king became fearful and took his wife and children into hiding for fourteen years. His virtue grew daily, and Shō Kinpuku, hearing of his worthiness, summoned him and made him a yellow cap official.
