現代語訳

違式を犯してはならない。二十年（1541年）、王は使者殷達魯等を遣わして入貢させ、宴賚は例の如くであった。

二十一年（1542年）、長史蔡廷美が漳州の人陳貴等を招引して船で国に駕したところ、たまたま潮陽船と利益を争い、互いに殺傷し合った。廷美はそこで貴等を旧王城に安置し、その資財をことごとく没収した。貴等は夜に逃亡したが、守備の者に捕らえられ、多くが殺された。そこで貴等を賊と誣告し、械繋して福建に送った。廷美は表を携えて京に赴き陳奏しようとしたが、巡按御史徐宗魯が三司官と会同して別状を翻訳審査し、以て聞した。廷美等を留めて命を待ったところ、旨を得て「貴等は違法に通畨し、国典に遵って重く治めよ。琉球は既に屡々交通しているのに、今や敢えて貨利を攘奪し、擅に我が民を殺し、且つ賊と誣告するとは、詭逆不恭これより甚だしきはなし。蔡廷美は本来拘留して重く処すべきであるが、素より朝貢の国に係わることを念い、姑く放回する。後に若し悛改せざれば即ち其の朝貢を絶つ。福建の守臣に令して備に彼国に行知せしめよ」とあった。

二十二年（1543年）、王は正議大夫陳賦等を遣わして馬及び方物を貢し、宴賚は例の如く、并せて礼幣を以て王に報いた。王は官生梁炫等を遣わして帰娶させることを請うた。時に炫等は南監に就学すること已に七年を踰えていた。詔して資糧・駅騎を給し、人を遣わして護送して帰らせた。

二十四年（1545年）、王は長史梁顕を遣わして入貢させ、朝鮮の漂流人口を送還した。宴賚は例の如くであった。

二十六年（1547年）、王は陳賦を遣わして入貢させた。賦は蔡廷会と偕に来た。廷会の祖蔡璟は閩人で、永楽中に琉球に撥遣され、水手を克して産籍は閩にあった。給事中黄宗概と上世に親があり、是に至って廷会が来ると、宗概と交通し饋謁したが、事が覚れて逮捕された。

英語訳

...against violating regulations. In the twentieth year (1541), the king sent envoys Yin Dalu and others to present tribute, with banquets and rewards as usual.

In the twenty-first year (1542), Chief Secretary Cai Tingmei invited people from Zhangzhou including Chen Gui and others to sail to the kingdom. They happened to compete for profits with Chaoyang ships, resulting in mutual killings and injuries. Tingmei then settled Gui and others in the old royal castle and confiscated all their assets. Gui and others fled at night but were captured by the guards, and many were killed. Thereupon [Tingmei] falsely accused Gui and others of being bandits, shackled them, and sent them to Fujian. Tingmei carried memorials intending to go to the capital to present his case, but Investigating Censor Xu Zonglu, meeting with officials of the Three Judicial Offices, translated and examined a separate account and reported it. Tingmei and others were detained awaiting orders. The imperial decree stated: "Gui and others violated the law in unauthorized trade; they should be severely punished according to national statutes. Although Ryukyu has long maintained relations with us, now they dare to plunder goods and profits, arbitrarily kill our people, and falsely accuse them of being bandits - such treacherous and disrespectful behavior could not be more extreme. Cai Tingmei should properly be detained and severely punished, but considering that [Ryukyu] has always been a tributary state, we will temporarily release him. If there is no reform in the future, we will immediately cut off tributary relations. Order the officials guarding Fujian to thoroughly inform that country of this."

In the twenty-second year (1543), the king sent Senior Counselor Chen Fu and others to present horses and local products. Banquets and rewards followed precedent, and ceremonial gifts were also given in return to the king. The king requested to send student official Liang Xuan and others back to marry. At that time, Xuan and others had been studying at the National Academy in Nanjing for more than seven years. An edict was issued providing travel funds and post horses, and people were sent to escort them home.

In the twenty-fourth year (1545), the king sent Chief Secretary Liang Xian to present tribute and repatriate Korean castaways. Banquets and rewards were as usual.

In the twenty-sixth year (1547), the king sent Chen Fu to present tribute. Fu came together with Cai Tinghui. Tinghui's ancestor Cai Jing was from Fujian, and during the Yongle period was sent to Ryukyu to serve as a sailor, with his household registration remaining in Fujian. He had family connections with Supervising Secretary Huang Zongkai from previous generations. When Tinghui came at this time, he had dealings with Zongkai and offered gifts and visits, but the matter was discovered and [Zongkai] was arrested.
