現代語訳

使臣の罪を謝した。これより先、琉球が派遣した使臣直佳魯が法を犯して誅殺された。明の皇帝は王に論じて言った「このたび王の使臣直佳魯等が京師に来て、朕はこれを優待した。帰るに及んで福建に至り、壇において海舶を奪い、官軍を暴殺し、中官を殴傷してその衣物を奪った。直佳魯は首罪として、刑は大辟を以てす。その余の阿勃馬結制等六十七人もこれと悪を同じくし、罪もまた死すべきである。王の忠誠を眷みて、特に赦して遣帰させる。今より使者を遣わすには、宜しく戒謹して朝憲を犯すことなかれ」と。

この年、中山王は山北を滅ぼした。山北王攀安知は勇を恃んで淫虐であった。臣下の平原は勇力があり、士卒は頗る驍健で、城池は険阻であった。明の封冊を受けてより矜肆益々甚だしく、平原と謀って中山を滅ぼそうとし、日々軍馬を整頓した。羽地按司、名護按司等が中山に降って、山北王が兵を閲するこ​とを告げ、速やかにこれを征することを請うた。ここにおいて中山王は世子巴志に命じ、急いで軍馬を督して山北を征させた。巴志は即座に浦添、越来、読谷山、名護、羽地、国頭の六按司を率いて先ず発し、今帰仁港に至った。攀安知は平原と謀り、力を協せて防御した。巴志は進んで城を攻めた。城上より箭を放つこと雨の如く、向かうべからず。浦添按司は大いに呼んで言った「これは忠臣が死を致す日である」と。勇を奮って挺進すると、諸軍は先を争って攻めた。

英語訳

and apologized for the crimes of the envoys. Prior to this, the Ryukyu envoy Chokaro had violated the law and been executed. The Ming Emperor reproached the king, saying: "Recently, your envoy Chokaro and others came to the capital, and We treated them favorably. When they returned and reached Fujian, at the altar they seized sea vessels, murdered government troops, assaulted and injured court officials, and stole their clothing and goods. Chokaro bore primary responsibility for the crime and was executed by the supreme punishment. The remaining sixty-seven people including Abokumakessei shared in this evil, and their crimes also deserved death. In consideration of the king's loyalty and sincerity, We specially pardoned them and sent them home. Henceforth when sending envoys, you should be vigilant and cautious not to violate court regulations."

In this year, the King of Chuzan destroyed Hokuzan. King Hanan-chi of Hokuzan relied on his courage but was dissolute and cruel. His retainer Hirahara possessed martial strength, his soldiers were quite brave and skilled, and the castle fortifications were precipitous and difficult to approach. After receiving Ming investiture, his arrogance and willfulness became even more extreme, and he plotted with Hirahara to destroy Chuzan, daily organizing his military forces. The Haniji anji, Nago anji, and others surrendered to Chuzan and reported that the King of Hokuzan was reviewing his troops, requesting that he be conquered swiftly. Thereupon the King of Chuzan commanded Crown Prince Hashi to urgently lead the military forces to conquer Hokuzan. Hashi immediately led the six anji of Urasoe, Gushikawa, Yomitanzan, Nago, Haniji, and Kunigami, departing first and reaching Nakijin harbor. Hanan-chi plotted with Hirahara, joining forces in defense. Hashi advanced and attacked the castle. Arrows rained down from the castle walls like rain, making it impossible to approach. The Urasoe anji shouted loudly: "This is the day when loyal retainers give their lives!" He courageously charged forward, and all the armies competed to be first in the attack.
