現代語訳
重八角に破れていた。巣鷹山は浅間山より直下に見える。この林には千年の大木で殊の外の名木があるという山で、山に入っても木立のために夜のように暗く、方角も分からないほどの深山であったが、右の焼石が落ちかかったと見えて、八月一日頃にはまだ煙が立ち上り、残らず焼失して皆炭のようになり、真黒に見えていた。釜はかなり焼け崩れている。釜の様子は西にも破れがあり、東にも割れがあり、殊の外麓の沢まで破れ通っていると見える。釜の深いことは分からない。煙が釜の口一杯に立ち、中は見えない。釜の北の方の破口を見ると、五丈ほどあり、その底は分からない。右の十人組は八月一日の午前十時頃、釜の縁に登った。
恐ろしいことは言うばかりもない。ようやく山を下り、麓で休んで見ると、正午頃に激しく燃え、煙が立ち上がった。危険なことに直ちに顔を見合わせた。

一、五月中より信州浅間山がしばしば大噴火し、去る月二十九日より当月朔日、二日と鳴動が強く、別けて五日より八日まで大噴火と鳴動が激しかった。御預所である信州佐久郡の村々へ少々ずつ砂が降った様子で、浅間山近辺の村々は住居も困難になるほどであったため、皆家財を片付けて立ち退いた様子に思われ、語り合っている体であるため、田
英語訳
It was heavily cracked in an octagonal pattern. Mount Sudaka can be seen directly below Mount Asama. This forest was said to contain thousand-year-old great trees and exceptionally famous trees, and when entering the mountain, it was so dark due to the tree cover that it was like night and one could not tell direction in this deep mountain. However, it appears that the burning stones fell upon it, and around the first day of the eighth month, smoke was still rising, everything was completely burned and looked like charcoal, appearing jet black. The crater was considerably burned and collapsed. The condition of the crater showed cracks to the west and splits to the east, and it appeared that the breaks extended all the way down to the valley at the foot of the mountain. The depth of the crater was unknowable - smoke filled the entire mouth of the crater so the inside could not be seen. Looking at the breach on the north side of the crater, it was about five jō deep, with its bottom unknowable. The group of ten men climbed to the rim of the crater around the fourth hour (10 AM) on the first day of the eighth month.
The terrifying nature of it was beyond description. They finally descended the mountain and rested at the foot, when at the ninth hour (noon) it burned intensely with smoke rising up. At this dangerous moment, they immediately looked at each other's faces in alarm.
