現代語訳

三十日丁卯。東北風。潮に乗って三船が雁行して五虎門に進む。正午に怡山院に至る。

海神に祭祀を行うよう命じる。海中を行くこと凡そ十四昼夜という。

《割注：臣》葆光按ずるに、冊封の役で記録のあるものは、前明嘉靖中の陳侃より始まる。康熙二十一年の汪楫等に至るまで、凡そ七回である。封舟が閩に帰るとき、桅を折り舵を漂わせ、危険が備に至った。これを披閲するたびに、毎に心を動かした。今、皇上の威霊を奉じて、海神が順を効し、踰年の行役において、幸いに冬汛の危を避け、半月の漂浮において、絶えて過船の浪が少なく、桅舵に副がなくとも、竟に摧傷を免れた。偶々風暴があっても、祈れば随って立ちどころに止む。上下数百人、安らかに行きて帰る。遠く往昔に勝る。額手して慶幸し、皆で皇恩を戴く。顚仆嘔逆といった小小の困頓に至っては、海舶の常で、何ぞ言うに足りようか。

英語訳

30th day, Ding-Mao. Northeast wind. Riding the tide, the three ships proceeded in formation to Wu-hu Gate (Five Tiger Gate). At noon, arrived at Yi-shan Temple.

Ordered sacrificial rites to be performed for the sea gods. The journey across the sea took approximately fourteen days and nights.

《Marginal note: Minister》 Bao-guang notes: Records of investiture missions begin with Chen Kan during the Jiajing era of the former Ming dynasty. Up to Wang Ji and others in the twenty-first year of Kangxi, there have been approximately seven missions. When the investiture ships returned to Fujian, they broke masts and lost rudders, encountering extreme dangers. Every time I read these accounts, my heart is moved. Now, carrying the imperial majesty and spiritual protection, the sea gods showed favor, and during this year-long mission, we were fortunate to avoid the dangers of winter storms. During half a month of drifting, we experienced remarkably few waves from passing ships. Even without spare masts and rudders, we ultimately avoided damage. Occasionally there were storms, but upon praying, they immediately ceased. Several hundred people, both high and low ranking, traveled safely and returned. This far exceeded past experiences. We raise our hands in celebration and gratitude, all bearing the imperial grace. As for minor hardships like seasickness and vomiting, these are common to sea voyages - what is there to mention?
