外には崇敬の礼を厚し義朝を書院に請（しやう）じ置 随陪（ずいばい）の壮士を
遠く別間に憩（いこ）はせ厨（くりや）には山海の珍味を集めて饗応（きやうおう）善美を

速にどう同意しかゝる折しもあれたとひ我君是より東国へ下り給ふ
とも平家の権勢盛なれば必定人手にかゝり給はんしかじ吾等御
首を討奉りて平家の恩賞を得永く子孫の栄華を全ふ
せんにはと素懐（そくわい）を密談しさて君は武勇（ぶゆう）猛威（もうゐ）の名将にまし

現代語訳
表面的には崇敬の礼を厚くし、義朝を書院に招き入れて、随行の武士たちを遠く離れた別の部屋で休ませ、台所では山海の珍味を集めて最高のもてなしを尽くしていた。しかし内心では密かに裏切りの意を抱き、その嫡子景致（あるいは景宗とも書く）を一室に招いて次のように言った。「かねてから六波羅殿からの御教書に、義朝を討ち取って差し上げれば、褒賞は望みのままになるであろうとある」とこのように語ると、景致はすぐに同意した。「このような時勢であるから、たとえ我が君がここから東国へ下られたとしても、平家の権勢が盛んなので、必ず誰かの手にかかってしまわれるであろう。それならば我々が御首を討ち奉って平家の恩賞を得て、永く子孫の栄華を全うしよう」と本心を密談した。さて君は武勇と猛威で知られる名将でいらっしゃるので、少数でいらっしゃるとはいえ討ち奉ることは重大事である。完全な策としては、湯殿へお誘い申し上げて、その時に婿の政清は別間に招いて酒肴でもてなすべきである。君が討たれたと聞いて駆けつけてきたら、景致が妻戸の陰で待ち伏せして彼を斬り伏せよう。また橋七郎は無双の大力なので、組み打ちの相手と定め

In the kitchen, he gathered delicacies from mountain and sea to provide the finest hospitality. However, inwardly he secretly harbored treacherous intentions. He summoned his eldest son Kagemune (sometimes written as Kagemune) to a private room and spoke as follows: "According to the imperial edict from Rokuhara-dono that we received earlier, if we kill Yoshitomo and present him, our rewards will be whatever we desire." When he spoke thus, Kagemune immediately agreed. "In times like these, even if our lord were to go down to the eastern provinces from here, the Taira clan's power is so great that he would inevitably fall into someone's hands. Rather than that, we should take his head ourselves, gain the Taira's favor, and ensure our descendants' prosperity for generations to come." They secretly discussed their true intentions. Now, since the lord is a famous general known for his military prowess and fierce authority, even though he has only a small force with him, killing him would be a grave matter. As a perfect strategy, we should lure him into the bathhouse, and at that time invite his son-in-law Masukiyo to a separate room to entertain him with sake and food. When he hears that his lord has been killed and comes running out, Kagemune will wait in ambush behind the door and cut him down. Also, since Hashichirō possesses unparalleled great strength, we should assign him as the one to grapple with...
