現代語訳
大床で御戸を閉じる《奏楽、以下初めのごとし。ただし神主は一拝の後、祝方御拝柱本に候し平伏すること常のごとし》。次に予め御鎖包を進める《柡白木枝をこの時に進める》《御鑰と執り替える》。祝がこれを請け取り裹み終えて一拝の後退下し、祠官各々土屋の座に復着する《もっとも五官以下若宮両官等は若宮より諏訪社に至るまで巡拝し土屋に着く。ただし先に社頭において、なお大田氏神等の祠官が下向して土屋に至るのを見定める》。
神主祝忌子は細殿南軒下の座に着く《ただし階の東である。西方に神主、中央に忌子、東方に祝が各々南面して円座に着く》。次に別当大夫が当年に相応する稲種の吉凶を卜させ、その勘文を持って来て神主祝等に覧させる。この間別当は正中に跪踞する。
《その儀は兼日別当が稲種勘文を認め、神人をして陰陽亭に持参させる。よって陰陽師が稲種の吉凶を卜し、当年に相応する稲種を朱点に掛ける。白稲・黒稲・赤稲の内三共か又は二程に点を掛ける。年により定まらず。当日刻限以前に神人が来てこれを請け取り、別当に渡すという。右は兼日二十六日頃より別当が神主祝等に位署名字等相違なきやの旨を尋ねに遣わす。近代はその儀に及ばず、御籍の表書きを勘文に載せるという》
披見し終えて別当大夫に返し渡す《その儀はまず神主がこれを執り、表裹礼紙等を除いて覧し終え、初めのごとく裹んで別当に返す。次に祝も同前に覧し終えて別当に返し渡すという。この時神主が「当年相応の稲種を下役人に申し渡すべき」旨を申すという》。
次に陰陽大夫が出て二島居において西の切芝で稲種を祓い清め終え、丸麻一対一本宛二つに分けて左右稲種の上に立て置き退下する《ただし先にこのとき神人が稲種二束を持参する《ただし一束は十把詰め、元来七十五筋宛とのことである》。二鳥居の南、切芝の上、頓宮地の北で南北行或いは東西行に設置する。並びに竹の弓二張、先紙で作った矢二手を左右稲種子の前に寄せ立て置く。右の弓弦は細縄である。矢は篠竹で作り長さ二尺五寸ばかり。且つ左右稲種の上に高さ四寸ばかり亘って同前に畚一つを成し充載する。これは藁で作り、もっとも手があり紙で巻く。右の内に半紙一枚を二つ折りにして敷き、洗米少々と鳥喰の料一式を入れる。矢刀祢が調進する。鳥喰の料は金伏一升二合、沙汰人より引く。且つまた稲種二束の内一束は御戸代田、もっとも神主の仲間が持参して矢刀祢に渡す。一束は故兼品家領茶木原の田地より出す。今は兼則家領田地字ナガブケより出すことと了る。右の稲二束とも矢刀祢の直会とする》
神主祝が起座して二鳥居を出て稲種の前に進み、まず沓揖して着座座揖《北方に神主、南方に祝が各々南面し、兼ねて畳一帖を設ける。ただし雨儀の時はこれを略す》。次に弓矢を執持して稲種を射払う《その儀は弓二張を執持し、まず神主が初矢、祝が乙矢、合わせて二矢ずつ放つ。次に祝が初矢、神主が射納める》。
終えて弓を本所に安置し座揖沓揖して本座に復す。次に神人三人が扱箸等を持参して神主祝忌子等に渡す《右の扱箸は篠竹で作り一対ずつ、本の方を紙捻で括る。矢刀祢が調える。紙は半紙五枚、予より矢刀祢に渡す。内三枚は神主祝忌子等の料、二枚は矢の料並びに矢田の内に敷く》。
並びに射させた稲種三穂ずつを取って持参する《ただし今は略し、兼ねて三穂ずつ除き置いて持参する》。この時神主祝忌子等は扱箸で扱い落とし、紙で請け取る《その儀はまず神人三人が相互に稲穂三穂ずつを持参し、まず神主の前に持参する。この時扱い落とす。次に忌子、次に祝。今は神主祝忌子である。その儀は同前。ただし神人三人であり、右の三人に持ち回り一度ずつ。よって三人分以上合わせて九度である》。
各々裹み終えて神人に渡す《ただし扱箸の本の方を紙の中に入れ共に包み、神人をして神主祝忌子等の分を一所に持たせる。もっとも三人の神人の内二人は先に退下し一人が残る》
英語訳
The sacred doors are closed at the great platform《with musical accompaniment, below as before. However, the chief priest, after one bow, waits at the base of the Hafuri worship pillar and prostrates as usual》. Next, the sacred lock wrapping is advanced in preparation《oak and white wooden branches are advanced at this time》《exchanged with the sacred key》. The Hafuri receives this, finishes wrapping it, and after one bow withdraws, with each shrine official returning to their seats in the earthen building《especially the five officials and below, the two Wakamiya officials proceed from Wakamiya to Suwa Shrine in pilgrimage and arrive at the earthen building. However, first at the shrine grounds, they still wait to see the shrine officials of Ōta clan gods and others descend to the earthen building》.
The chief priest, Hafuri, and ritual abstainer take their seats under the southern eaves of the細殿 (narrow hall)《however, this is east of the steps. The chief priest to the west, ritual abstainer in the center, Hafuri to the east, each facing south seated on round cushions》. Next, the deputy administrator has the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of rice varieties appropriate for the current year divined, brings that divination document, and has the chief priest, Hafuri, and others examine it. During this time, the deputy administrator kneels in the center.
《The procedure is that the deputy administrator prepares the rice variety divination document in advance and has divine servants take it to the Bureau of Divination. Therefore, the diviner divines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of rice varieties and marks the rice varieties appropriate for the current year with vermillion dots. Either all three or two types are marked among white rice, black rice, and red rice. This varies by year. Before the appointed time on the day, divine servants come to receive it and deliver it to the deputy administrator. Regarding this, from around the 26th day in advance, the deputy administrator sends inquiries to the chief priest, Hafuri, and others about whether there are any discrepancies in rank signatures and names. In recent times, this procedure is omitted, and the cover writing of the sacred register is recorded in the divination document》
After examination, it is returned to the deputy administrator《the procedure is that first the chief priest takes it, removes the cover and ceremonial papers, finishes examining it, wraps it as before and returns it to the deputy administrator. Next, the Hafuri does the same, finishes examining it and returns it to the deputy administrator. At this time, the chief priest states that "the rice varieties appropriate for the current year should be communicated to subordinate officials"》.
Next, the divination master comes out and at Nijima-i, purifies and cleanses the rice varieties at the western cut grass area, then divides one pair of round hemp into two, one each, places them upright on the left and right rice varieties, and withdraws《however, previously at this time, divine servants bring two bundles of rice varieties《however, one bundle contains ten sheaves, originally said to be 75 stalks each》. This is set up south of the two torii, on the cut grass, north of the temporary shrine grounds, arranged north-south or east-west. Also, two bamboo bows and arrows made with paper tips are placed leaning in front of the left and right rice varieties. The right bowstring is thin rope. The arrows are made of dwarf bamboo, about 2.5 feet long. Also, about 4 inches high above the left and right rice varieties, spanning across, one winnowing basket is made and loaded. This is made of straw, especially with handles wrapped in paper. Inside this, one sheet of half-paper is folded in two and spread, and a small amount of washed rice and one set of bird food is placed. The矢刀祢 (Yatone) prepares this. The bird food is 1.2 升 of gold-wrapped grain, obtained from the administrators. Also, of the two bundles of rice varieties, one bundle is from the御戸代田 (Mitoyo-da field), especially brought by the chief priest's associates and delivered to the Yatone. One bundle comes from the茶木原 (Chakihara) field territory of the late Kaneshina family. Now it comes from the Nagabuke area of Kanenori family territory. Both bundles of rice become the Yatone's ceremonial feast》
The chief priest and Hafuri rise and exit through the two torii, proceed to the front of the rice varieties, first perform shoe removal bow and sit down with sitting bow《chief priest to the north, Hafuri to the south, each facing south, with one tatami mat prepared. However, this is omitted during rain ceremonies》. Next, they take up bow and arrows to shoot and purify the rice varieties《the procedure is to take up two bows, first the chief priest shoots the first arrow, Hafuri the second arrow, releasing two arrows each in total. Next, the Hafuri shoots the first arrow, and the chief priest shoots the final arrow》.
After finishing, the bows are placed in their original location, they perform sitting bow and shoe removal bow, and return to their original seats. Next, three divine servants bring handling chopsticks and deliver them to the chief priest, Hafuri, ritual abstainer, and others《these handling chopsticks are made of dwarf bamboo, one pair each, with the base end bound with twisted paper. The Yatone prepares them. For paper, five sheets of half-paper are delivered from the administrator to the Yatone. Of these, three sheets are for the chief priest, Hafuri, and ritual abstainer, and two sheets are for the arrows and to be spread in the arrow field》.
Also, they bring three ears each of the rice varieties that were shot《however, now this is abbreviated, and three ears each are set aside in advance and brought》. At this time, the chief priest, Hafuri, and ritual abstainer use the handling chopsticks to handle and drop them, receiving them with paper《the procedure is that first the three divine servants alternately bring three ears of rice each, first bringing them before the chief priest. At this time they handle and drop them. Next the ritual abstainer, then the Hafuri. Now it is the chief priest, Hafuri, and ritual abstainer. The procedure is the same as before. However, there are three divine servants, and these three people take turns once each. Therefore, combining the three people's portions makes nine times total》.
Each finishes wrapping and delivers to the divine servants《however, the base end of the handling chopsticks is placed inside the paper and wrapped together, having the divine servants hold the portions for the chief priest, Hafuri, ritual abstainer, and others in one place. Especially of the three divine servants, two withdraw first and one remains》
