現代語訳

という段に至っては、江戸表の御意向に反することとなり、申し訳なく、甚だ残念ではありますが、やむを得ない次第であります。なお、かねてより当所に詰め合わせていた者ども、平兵衛・徳内をはじめ番人・職人等は、お互いに出帆後に後始末をして引き払う手筈でありましたが、前文の通り、もはやこれ以上渡海できなくなるぎりぎりの時節まで在陣し、引き払うことになりますので、日本(内地)から渡って居住している者どもを一人も残し置いて、後から容易に乗り渡れるような状態にしておいては、手を尽くした甲斐もなく、残ることになり(残敵に利用される恐れが)相当ありますので、日本人の分は一人も残らず、一同に引き払う手筈といたします。織之丞殿はさぞ残念にお思いのことと存じますが、右の通り手を尽くした上のことでありますから、やむを得ませんので、津軽領のいずれかの湊へでも都合のよい方に着岸する積もりでご承知おきくださるよう、あれこれと懇切に申し聞かされたので、この上はやむを得ない次第につき、余儀なく承知の挨拶に及び、退去のことについて諸事取り鎮め、営中の取り片付け・掃除等に念を入れ、不浄を埋め、竈を壊し、二十三日の朝より船方へ炊き出し・賄いを申し付け、船の準備をいたしたところ、四つ頃(午前十時頃)にもなるであろうか、風の具合がよい旨を申し出たので、伝十郎殿をはじめ平兵衛殿・徳内の元へ罷り越し、届けならびに在陣中の謝詞を厚く申し述べ、当島において死亡した者の墓所へ一同焼香をいたし、乗船いたしました。

英語訳

...were it to come to such a pass, it would go against the intentions of the Edo authorities, and we would be unable to make amends. Although it was deeply regrettable, it was an unavoidable circumstance. Furthermore, those who had been stationed at this location — including Heibei, Tokunai, the guards, and the craftsmen — had originally planned to wrap up matters and withdraw after our departure. However, as stated above, since we would be remaining until the very last possible moment when a crossing would no longer be feasible and would then withdraw, if we were to leave even one person from Japan behind in a state from which they could easily cross over later, all our efforts would have been for naught, and there was a considerable risk of such an outcome. Therefore, it was arranged that every single Japanese person would withdraw together without exception. We were told at length and with great care that, while Orinojō-dono would no doubt find this most regrettable, since it came to this after every effort had been made, it was unavoidable, and that we should understand we would be putting in at whichever harbor in the Tsugaru domain proved most convenient. Since this was the unavoidable state of affairs, we gave our reluctant assent, and turning to the matter of withdrawal, we carefully attended to clearing out, cleaning, and putting the camp in order — burying refuse, dismantling the hearths — and from the morning of the 23rd we ordered the ship's crew to begin cooking and provisioning, and made ready the vessels. At around the Hour of the Snake (approximately 10 a.m.), word came that the wind conditions were favorable. We therefore went to call upon Denjūrō-dono, Heibei-dono, and Tokunai, conveyed our reports, and expressed our sincere gratitude for their efforts during the period of encampment. Together, we all burned incense at the graves of those who had died on this island, and then boarded the ships. </translation_ja>
