現代語訳

【右丁】
多くあり。飯山様御城は残らず潰れ、平らな一面の地所が一丈余り高く隆起し、市中一面に高く浮上がって残らず潰れ、その上出火にて残りなく焼けた。飯山は地窪（低地）にて折々水損があった所であったが、今度は平地一面に高く盛り上がったため水難はなかったものの、死人数多くあった。同所より越後国谷通り、所々潰れ多く満水にて田畑水損、新潟まで数ヶ村あり、おおよそ道法六十里の間大荒れという事である。

一、三月二十四日夜大地震。犀川は日々に減水し、丹波島舟渡しは一ヶ所になった。この川上は裾花川と申すより

【左丁】
流出した所、流水はこれまた日々に減水し、追々水が絶えて丹波川の水も絶え、歩行にて往来をした所、川中の島が始まり、村々騒ぎ立ち、めいめい最寄りの山林へ小屋を掛けてそこへ退き、出水を待っていた所、三月二十八日暁七時に裾花川上流の鬼無里村の内、川浦と申す処で、二十四日より地震にて山崩れし水を溜めていた場所が押し切られ、一時に流水が増して出たが、格別の大水でもなく村々は安堵した。この川上山中の地京原村と申す処、藤沢組十八軒の家数があったが、残り家四軒、人数八十四人死亡。梅木村城腰と申す処、四軒皆潰れ、人数二十八人死亡。この処は一人も残らず

英語訳

【Right page】
There were many. Lord Iiyama's castle was completely destroyed, and the flat terrain rose more than one jō in height, with the entire city area rising high and being completely destroyed. Moreover, fires broke out and everything was burned without remainder. Iiyama was a low-lying area that occasionally suffered water damage, but this time the flat land rose high across the entire area, so there was no flood damage, though there were many deaths. From this location through the valley route of Echigo Province, many places were destroyed and flooded, causing water damage to rice fields and farmland. There were several villages extending to Niigata, and the entire stretch of about 60 ri was in great devastation.

- On the night of the 24th day of the third month, there was a great earthquake. The Sai River's water level decreased daily, and the Tanba Island ferry was reduced to one crossing point. This river flows from what is called the Susohana River.

The water that flowed out also decreased daily, gradually drying up completely. The Tanba River also dried up, allowing people to cross on foot. When islands began to appear in the riverbed, the villages became alarmed and each built huts in the nearby mountain forests, retreating there to wait for the waters to return. Then, at seven o'clock in the early morning of the 28th day of the third month, at a place called Kawaura within Kinasa Village on the upper Susohana River, a location where water had been dammed up by landslides since the 24th earthquake burst through, causing a sudden surge of water. However, it was not an exceptionally large flood, so the villages were relieved. In the mountainous area upstream, at a place called Chikyōbara Village, there were eighteen houses in the Fujisawa group, but only four houses remained, with eighty-four people dead. At a place called Shiroshi in Umegi Village, four houses were all destroyed with twenty-eight people dead. In this place, not a single person remained.
