現代語訳
琉璃の宝珠、香一包、犬皮十枚、瑪瑙の机一脚、虎皮十枚、五色羅紗五十枚を献上した。程なくして南蛮寺へ帰り、重ねて信長へ訴え申し上げて言うことには「天帝宗（キリスト教）は広く病難貧苦を救って起臥を安らかにし、教えを伝えて現世安穏後世楽土の願望を成就させます。薬園をお与えいただいて薬種を植え、その準備を整えることを願います」と。信長は許可して「山城国近国の内からその地を選ぶがよい」と言われたので、両イルマンは近江国伊吹山を願い出て許可を得た。
この山に登って五十町四方を切り開いて薬園とし、本国より三千種の薬草の苗種を取り寄せて伊吹山にこれを植えた《割注：この故に今二百年の後まで、その根がこの山に留まり、川芎・艾の類はこの山を以て名産とする》。
それのみならず、本国より財宝を夥しく取り寄せて金銀に替え、七宝の瓔珞、金襴の幡、錦の天蓋、六十一種の名香を門外まで薫じ、往来の人々が足を止めるほどであった《割注：この寺は常に仏壇に本尊を立てないと言われている》。
これを伝え聞いて、畿内はもちろん、四国・中国・京都近国から来集することが夥しく、南蛮寺は日々群集をなした。しかしながら、その宗旨に帰依しない者には本尊を拝することはさせなかった。南蛮寺では、この群集の人には少しも構わず、洛中洛外へ人を出し、あるいは山野の辻堂、橋の下等に至るまで尋ね捜して、非人・乞食等の大病・難病等の者を召し連れて来らせ、風呂に入れて五体を清め

They presented as tribute: lapis lazuli jewels, one package of incense, ten pieces of dog fur, one agate desk, ten pieces of tiger fur, and fifty pieces of five-colored woolen cloth. Before long, they returned to the Nanban temple and again petitioned Nobunaga, saying: "The religion of the Heavenly Emperor (Christianity) widely saves people from illness, hardship, poverty, and suffering, bringing peace to their daily lives, and by transmitting the teachings, fulfills the wish for peace in this world and happiness in the next. We request that you grant us a medicinal garden where we can plant medicinal herbs and make preparations."
Nobunaga gave permission, saying "You may select suitable land within Yamashiro Province and neighboring provinces." The two Irmãos requested Mount Ibuki in Ōmi Province and received permission. They climbed this mountain and cleared an area of fifty chō square to create a medicinal garden, importing seeds and seedlings of three thousand varieties of medicinal herbs from their homeland to plant on Mount Ibuki. {{Note: For this reason, even two hundred years later, these roots remain on this mountain, and plants like Cnidium and mugwort have become specialties of this mountain.}}
Moreover, they imported vast amounts of treasure from their homeland, exchanged it for gold and silver, and acquired seven-treasure necklaces, gold brocade banners, brocade canopies, and sixty-one varieties of precious incense that perfumed the air even outside the temple gates, causing passersby to stop. {{Note: This temple is said to never have installed a principal Buddhist image on its altar.}}
When word of this spread, not only people from the five home provinces but also from Shikoku, Chūgoku, and provinces near the capital came in great numbers, and the Nanban temple was crowded with throngs of people daily. However, those who did not convert to their religion were not allowed to worship the principal image. The Nanban temple paid no attention to these crowds, instead sending people out into the capital and its surroundings, searching even in roadside halls in the mountains and fields and under bridges, bringing back outcasts, beggars, and others suffering from serious and incurable diseases, putting them in baths to cleanse their bodies
