現代語訳

応福提万正色が上聞に達し、加号して祭祀を行った。神霊は昭著で、今に至るまで益々輝かしく、海を渡る者は必ず主神を船中に載せる。往年、琉球を冊封した際、諭祭を両度行い、夏には祈り、冬には報告し、みな予め文を撰んで使臣が昭告したところ、皆安全を得た。これは聖德の感化するところで、神応が特に顕著であったのである。

　　封舟救済霊蹟《割書：ただし洪熙元年の柴山救済霊蹟は詳しく聖録に顕れているが、以下は考証できないため、今は陳侃から始める》

嘉靖十三年、冊使陳給事侃《割書：陳侃が初めて記録を残したので陳侃から始める》と高行人澄の船が姑米山に至った時、漏水が発生したが、祈祷して塞ぐことができて済んだ。帰途で暴風に遭い、帆柱がすべて折れたが、突然紅光が船を照らし、そこで筊を請うて舵を起こした。また蝶と雀が象徴を示した。その夕、風が激しくなったため冠服を着て祈祷し、碑を立てることを請うたところ、風がやんだ。そして春秋の祀典を請うた。

嘉靖四十年、冊使郭汝霖・李際春が赤嶼に至った時、無風で大魚が船を揺らしたため、金光明仏経を施し、彩船で之を舁いたところ、遂に南風を得て済んだ。福建に帰る日、暴風が起ころうとした時、予め二羽の雀が船に集まる異変があった。須臾にして暴風が発生し舵を失ったが、郭らが文を作って告げたところ、風が息み、更に舵を置いた。また一羽の鳥が檣の上に止まって去らなかった。

万暦七年、冊使蕭給事崇業・謝行人然が針路を間違えて行く先を知らず、且つ舵の羽根を失った。虔心に祈祷していると、俄かに一羽の燕と一匹の蜻蛉が船の左右を飛び回り、遂に舵を替えることができ、船は平安となった。

英語訳

The divine manifestations of Fuqti Wanzhengse reached the imperial ear, leading to additional honorific titles and sacrificial rites. The divine spirit remains clearly manifest and increasingly brilliant to this day, and all who cross the seas must carry the principal deity aboard their ships. In previous years, when investing the Ryukyu kingdom, imperial edicts and sacrifices were conducted twice, with prayers in summer and reports in winter. All texts were prepared in advance and proclaimed by envoys, resulting in safe passage. This was due to the influence of sagely virtue, with divine responses being particularly manifest.

　　Miraculous Rescues by the Investiture Ships 《Marginal note: Only the miraculous rescue at Chaishan in the first year of Hongxi is recorded in detail in the Sacred Records; the following cannot be verified, so we begin from Chen Kan》

In the thirteenth year of Jiajing, when investiture envoys Chen Kan of the Bureau of Scrutiny 《Marginal note: Since Chen Kan was the first to keep records, we begin from Chen Kan》 and Gao Cheng of the Ministry of Personnel reached Gumei Mountain, their ship developed a leak. Through prayer, they managed to seal it and proceed safely. On the return journey, they encountered a hurricane that broke all their masts. Suddenly, a red light illuminated the ship, whereupon they cast divination blocks and raised the rudder. Butterflies and sparrows also appeared as omens. That evening, when the wind became violent, they donned ceremonial robes to pray and vowed to erect a stele, whereupon the wind subsided. They then requested inclusion in the spring and autumn sacrificial ceremonies.

In the fortieth year of Jiajing, when investiture envoys Guo Rulin and Li Jichun reached Red Island, there was no wind and large fish disturbed their ship. They performed offerings of the Golden Light Sutra and used colorful boats to carry it, whereupon they obtained southern winds and proceeded safely. On the day of their return to Fujian, as a hurricane was about to break, there was first the omen of two sparrows alighting on the ship. In a moment the hurricane struck and they lost their rudder, but when Guo and others composed a written prayer, the wind calmed and they were able to replace the rudder. Additionally, a bird perched on the mast and would not leave.

In the seventh year of Wanli, investiture envoys Xiao Chongye of the Bureau of Scrutiny and Xie Ran of the Ministry of Personnel lost their way when their compass course went wrong, and they also lost their rudder blade. While offering fervent prayers, suddenly a swallow and a dragonfly flew around the left and right sides of the ship. They were then able to replace the rudder and the ship became safe.
