打破りひさし柱も切折て荢縄を懸けて引
倒し帯刀をもする人に梵天を持￣テなどゝ
無道の事を云散し花桜井も二三ケ所あそこ
や爰を踏散し嵐に華のちる如く下練指て
うかれ行下練木内善兵衛は古金文金数千
両所持して年久敷分限者にて是も野沢
邊土の様子を聞村境迄出迎し炊出しの用
意してぞ相待ける万一金子無心抔と云時に無と
云は恥辱也とて文金三百両たんすに入居間へ出し
置相残り有金又は家の宝物は穴蔵に詰置て
相待所に無頼大勢入来り食抔を喰散し
元ゟ示し合せしあく党共一もくさんに立上り
膳わん等おも蹴散かし戸障子唐紙あたるを
幸ひ打破りあらひまわれは家内の者壱人も
無迯散たり有金たんす小袖ひつ皆打砕き
《ルビ：讒｜セン》さくし穴蔵迄も入込て金子不残さかし取
現代語訳
（戸や障子などを）打ち破り、庇の柱も切り折って、荢縄をかけて引き倒し、帯刀をする人に対して梵天を持てなどと無道なことを言い散らし、花桜井も二、三か所、あそこやここを踏み散らし、嵐に花が散るように下練へと向かい、浮かれ行く。
下練の木内善兵衛は古金・文金数千両を所持し、長年の分限者（富裕者）であって、これも野沢辺りの土地の様子を聞き、村境まで出迎えに出て、炊き出しの用意をして待っていた。万一、金子の無心などと言われた時に、「無い」と言うのは恥辱であるとして、文金三百両を箪笥に入れて居間に出し置いた。残りの有金、また家の宝物は穴蔵（地下蔵）に詰め置いて待っていた所に、無頼の大勢が入り来て、食べ物などを食い散らし、元より示し合わせていた悪党どもが一目散に立ち上がり、膳や椀などをも蹴散らし、戸・障子・唐紙など当たるを幸いに打ち破り、暴れ回ったので、家内の者は一人もなく逃げ散った。有金・箪笥・小袖の櫃、皆打ち砕き、箱を壊し、穴蔵にまで入り込んで、金子を残らず探し取った。
英語訳
They smashed through doors and sliding screens, cut down the eave pillars, tied straw ropes around them and pulled them down. They made outrageous demands, telling even sword-bearing people to carry ceremonial staffs (bonton), trampled over Hanazakurai in two or three places, and just as blossoms scatter in a storm, they made their merry way toward Shimoneri.
In Shimoneri, Kinouchi Zenbei had possessed several thousand ryō in old gold coins and new gold coins for many years, being a man of great wealth. He too had heard about the situation in the Nozawa area, came out to the village boundary to meet them, and waited having prepared food distribution. Thinking that should anyone request money, it would be shameful to say he had none, he placed three hundred ryō in new gold in a chest and set it out in the sitting room. He stored his remaining money and household treasures in an underground storehouse and waited.
However, a large group of ruffians came in, scattered food about as they ate, and a band of villains who had arranged this plan in advance immediately rose up, kicked over the dining trays and bowls, smashed down doors, sliding screens, and decorative paper screens wherever they encountered them, and ran rampant. Every member of the household fled without exception. They smashed open the money chests, clothing trunks, and boxes, broke everything apart, even broke into the underground storehouse, and took every last piece of gold they could find.
