現代語訳

祝詞を申し（通常の通り）終える
各々直礼をする（重村記に云く、祝が祝詞以前に農夫が外来稲を持って社務代権祝忌子等に渡す、その時三つに分け、榊の間に三度ならして祝詞を申すという）。次に忌子が藤葛を執って矢刀祢の左右の大指を縛り絡め、その両大指の間に榊（一本）を挿し、并せて藤葛を以て末額に掛けさせる。則ちこの矢刀祢は御前を追って祝亭に向かう（ただし近代は藤葛を用いず、稲草或いは紙捻等で縛り絡める。もっとも幼年の忌子については社務代権祝等の内で相替わって役を務める）。次に各々退下する。その時矢刀祢が先行して御前を申す（ただし御先三ケ所、先ず竹ケ鼻門に入る時一度、次に今井橋を経る時一度、次に祝亭に至る時、以上三度である）。農夫が稲を荷って相従い祝亭に持参して納め置く。矢刀祢の縛られた葛を解いて退下する。

その儀は社務代権祝等は事了して直ちに退下し、矢刀祢農夫等は祝亭に至る（もっとも矢刀祢の縛られた葛は祝の妻が解き遣わすという）。

氏神祭神前勤方次第
先ず両官別当等が氏神社に参って拝殿の座に着く
次に祢宜が起座して神前に参って御櫃の御料御酒等を供え終わって復座する。別当が転供に参る。
次に両官が祝詞を申す。別当がこれに応ずる。
次に祝が起座して御櫃御料御酒等を撤して復座する。別当が初めの如くこれに従う。
次に両官が幄の座に移り着く（今は奉幣後まで着かない）
次に舞人が参向して鳥居の内北の方の長床の座に着く
次に両官が起座して神前庭上の円座に着く。公幣私幣二棒を神人が取り次ぐ。
次に両官が奉幣を了えて神前に進み御戸に寄せ立つ。後に土居に下る。

英語訳

The ritual prayers are recited (as usual) and completed.
Each person performs a direct bow (The Shigemura Record states that before the ritualist's prayers, the farmer brings the outer rice stalks and presents them to the deputy shrine administrator, assistant ritualist, abstinence children, etc. At that time they are divided into three parts, sounded three times between the sakaki branches, and prayers are recited). Next, an abstinence child takes wisteria vines and binds and entangles the left and right thumbs of the arrow sword-bearer, inserting sakaki (one branch) between both thumbs, and also using wisteria vines to hang it on the forehead. Then this arrow sword-bearer follows the sacred presence toward the ritualist's pavilion (however, in modern times wisteria vines are not used, but rather rice straw or twisted paper for binding and entangling. For young abstinence children, one of the deputy shrine administrators or assistant ritualists takes their place in this role). Next, everyone withdraws. At this time the arrow sword-bearer goes first to announce the sacred presence (at three designated places along the route: first once when entering the Takegahana Gate, next once when crossing the Imai Bridge, next when arriving at the ritualist's pavilion - three times in total). The farmer carries the rice stalks following along, brings them to the ritualist's pavilion and stores them there. The vines binding the arrow sword-bearer are untied and he withdraws.

The procedure is that the deputy shrine administrator, assistant ritualist, etc. withdraw directly after the ceremony concludes, while the arrow sword-bearer, farmer, etc. proceed to the ritualist's pavilion (the vines binding the arrow sword-bearer are said to be untied and removed by the ritualist's wife).

Sequence of Procedures for Worship Before the Tutelary Deity
First, both officials, the head priest, etc. visit the tutelary deity shrine and take their seats in the worship hall.
Next, the shrine maiden rises from her seat, approaches the divine presence, offers the sacred food containers, sacred sake, etc., and returns to her seat. The head priest approaches for the food transfer.
Next, both officials recite ritual prayers. The head priest responds to them.
Next, the ritualist rises from his seat, removes the sacred food containers, sacred sake, etc., and returns to his seat. The head priest follows this as initially.
Next, both officials move to seats in the curtained area (currently they do not sit there until after the offering of sacred objects).
Next, the dancers approach and take seats on the long platform on the north side within the torii gate.
Next, both officials rise and take circular seats in the courtyard before the divine presence. The shrine attendants relay two sets each of public and private sacred offerings.
Next, both officials complete the offering of sacred objects, advance before the divine presence and stand close to the sacred doors, then descend to the earthen area.
