現代語訳
院を進め申し上げることがあった。新院もとより世を取り返そうという志があったので、大いに悦んで、頼長と密謀があった。法皇の崩御に機会を得て、近国の兵を呼び集めた。そのため崩御から七日も過ぎないうちに、京中洛外が騒動となった。新院は鳥羽の田中殿より白河の御所へ御幸した。左大臣頼長も同じく参られた。内裏へは関白忠通以下が参候した。武士には下野守源義朝、安芸守平清盛等が内裏を守護した。義朝の父為義と、清盛の叔父平右馬助忠正等は、新院の召しによって白河殿に参った。為義の子供たちは義朝の外は皆新院の御方にあった。その中に鎮西八郎為朝は強弓精兵無双の勇士である。同じ十一日の夜、少納言入道信西が勅を奉じて、義朝清盛等をして新院の御所を攻めさせた。為朝が防ぎ戦ったため、官軍多く討たれた。義朝は

Yoshitomo's father Tameyoshi and Kiyomori's uncle Taira no Tadamasa, Assistant of the Right Division of Bureau of Horses, and others went to Shirakawa Palace upon the retired emperor's summons. Among Tameyoshi's sons, all except Yoshitomo were on the retired emperor's side. Among them, Chinzei Hachirō Tametomo was an unparalleled warrior with a strong bow and military prowess. On the night of the eleventh of the same month, the lay priest and Minor Counselor Shinzei, receiving imperial command, had Yoshitomo, Kiyomori and others attack the retired emperor's residence. Because Tametomo defended and fought back, many of the imperial troops were killed. Yoshitomo...
