現代語訳
力み合うこと恐ろしく、既に五月二十四日の早朝に軍立の用意をして、黒雲・横雲が先陣にて狼煙を上げ、責め太鼓をどうどうと打ち鳴らし、雲場が原まで攻め寄せた。すると峠の権現がこれを見て、鳥中主に申し付け、早飛脚をもって白雲山に知らせた。白雲山では慌てて各々騒ぎ立ち、数人の天狗を一処に集め、臼井峠まで出張って防ぐ様子が見えた。しかし小勢では対当たりが難しいと、軍略を巡らし謀を工夫した。既に日数を経て六月二十七日、またまた向かうべき由、評議が決まった。臼井より白雲山へ内通があったゆえ、榛名・赤城、その外、群馬・吾妻の神々へ急を告げて加勢を乞うたところ、各々羽団を持ち揃え、風袋の口を解いて、数十万の勢いをもって、大笹より中尾山・碓氷峠の峰まで、櫛の歯を引くが如く、白雲・黒雲の幕を張り陣を取って控えた。早朝より太鼓を打ち鳴らし、黒雲……

At Mount Hakuun, they were thrown into panic and uproar; they gathered several tengu together and it appeared they moved out to Usui Pass to mount a defense. However, judging that their small force would be unable to withstand the enemy, they devised military strategies and cunning plans. After some days had passed, on the twenty-seventh day of the sixth month, a council decided they should advance once more. Since there had been intelligence sent from Usui to Mount Hakuun, urgent messages were sent to the gods of Haruna, Akagi, and the other deities of Kōzuke and Agatsuma, requesting reinforcements. Each gathered their wind forces, loosened the openings of their wind bags, and with a force of hundreds of thousands, they lined up from Ōzasa to Mount Nakao and the summit of Usui Pass, like the teeth of a comb, hanging curtains of white and black clouds and taking up their positions. From early morning they beat the drums, and the black clouds...
