現代語訳
心変わりして謙信の人数を城中へ引き入れたので、能州の国侍どもは屋形の殿と一所に集まり楯籠もったところ、遊佐美作守が使者を以って申したことには「長九郎左衛門さえ切腹すれば、残りの国侍並びに長の一家ともに赦免すべし」という謙信からの仰せだと言ったので、長九郎左衛門は父と一所になって腹を切ろうとして我が屋を捨てて親の対馬守の許へ行く道中で、温井の郎等小南内近という者が九郎左衛門を討ち取った。その後遊佐美作守は舅の許へ使者を立てて「右は別に異議があるまい。我が館へ入られよ」として呼び取り、珍味を揃えてもてなし、風呂に入れた。その後「遊佐の舎弟伊丹という人の館に入って休足されよ」として出してやったが、道中で対馬守その子杉山、同新八、同新九郎、その外長の一家をことごとく討ち取った。その中で対馬守の四男は好雲寺として出家であったが、信長公へ先年人質に遣わしていたため、その時の難を逃れた。後には長九郎左衛門と名乗り、法体ではジョアンと名乗った。
○謙信より七尾の城代として越後の住人鰺坂備中に、越中の住人響田肥後、長惣（沢なり）筑前を相添え、右の三人を七尾の城代に置き、並びに国侍に先知の十分の一ずつを遣わし、右三人の与力になし、昔の寺屋敷に置いた。六、七年を経て、国侍ともに謀叛を企て、升形という山に取り上がり、城の麓の町を焼き払ったので、城中耐え得ずして、長惣筑前、響田肥後両人は国侍に一味しようとして升形へ先使を遣わした。国侍はもっともに一味しようとして返事をして、使いの津野豊後守が途中を帰る刻、国侍が郎等を遣わして豊後を討ったため、筑前守が升形へ行くことが叶わずして石動へ籠もろうとして二ノ宮まで行ったところ、石動より人数を出して寄せ付けないので七尾へ引き返したところ、乗っていた馬が疲れて死んだ。筑前は歩立ちになって鰺坂備中と一所になろうとして本丸を指して登るところに一揆が起こり、小嶋の右馬という百姓が焼け木の株を持ってなぎ殺した。肥後守は府中より舟に乗り越後へ渡ろうとした折節、北風が激しく吹いたので叶わずして、シブエの浦へ舟を寄せた。かの浦は荒磯に海藻がかかって
英語訳
Having had a change of heart, he let Kenshin's forces into the castle. The provincial samurai of Nōshū gathered together with their lord in the palace and barricaded themselves, when Yusa Mimasaku-no-kami sent a messenger saying, "This is an order from Kenshin: if only Chō Kurōzaemon commits seppuku, the remaining provincial samurai and Chō's entire family will be pardoned." Hearing this, Chō Kurōzaemon abandoned his residence to join his father and commit seppuku together. On the way to his father Tsushima-no-kami's place, Onui's retainer named Kominami Naichika killed Kurōzaemon. Afterwards, Yusa Mimasaku-no-kami sent a messenger to his father-in-law saying, "There should be no objection to this matter. Please enter my residence," and summoned him, entertaining him with delicacies and having him bathe. Then he said, "Please enter the residence of my younger brother Itami and rest," and sent him out. On the way, he had Tsushima-no-kami, his son Sugiyama, Shinpachi, Shinkurō, and all the rest of the Chō family killed. Among them, Tsushima-no-kami's fourth son was a monk called Kōunji, but having been sent as a hostage to Lord Nobunaga in previous years, he escaped this calamity. Later he took the name Chō Kurōzaemon, and as a monk was called João.
○From Kenshin, as castle governors of Nanao: Ajisaka Bitchū, a resident of Echigo, along with Hibikida Higo, a resident of Etchū, and Nagasō (also written as Sawa) Chikuzen were appointed. These three were placed as castle governors of Nanao, and the provincial samurai were given one-tenth of their former knowledge and made into supporters of these three men, stationed at former temple grounds. After six or seven years, the provincial samurai plotted rebellion together, took position on a mountain called Masugata, and burned down the town at the foot of the castle. Unable to endure this, Nagasō Chikuzen and Hibikida Higo both attempted to ally with the provincial samurai and sent an advance messenger to Masugata. The provincial samurai quite reasonably agreed to ally and sent back a reply. When the messenger Tsuno Bungo-no-kami was returning along the way, the provincial samurai sent retainers who killed Bungo. Because of this, Chikuzen-no-kami could not go to Masugata and tried to take refuge at Ishidō, going as far as Ni-no-miya. But when Ishidō sent out forces and would not let him approach, he returned to Nanao, whereupon his horse died of exhaustion. Chikuzen became a foot soldier and tried to join Ajisaka Bitchū, heading for the main citadel, when a peasant uprising occurred and a farmer called Kojima no Uma killed him with a burnt wooden stake. Higo-no-kami boarded a ship from Fuchū to cross to Echigo, but at that moment a north wind blew fiercely, making it impossible, so he brought his ship to Shibue bay. That bay had rough rocks with seaweed entangled, making it
