現代語訳
家督相続について相談したいという心願で渋谷の家を退き、その後は実母の家名を名乗って江口栄全と姓名を改め、越後国蒲原郡で水原長武の娘を妻に迎えた。勘兵衛は会津の世臣である堀半右衛門長昌の弟で、二百石の士として御家に召し仕えていたが、元禄の初めに罪があって御追放を仰せ付けられ断絶した。
長武の娘との間に林喜左衛門光伴、岸良碩某、並びに武濟が出生した。武濟は正徳四年午年三月九日、水原にて誕生し、初めは加藤大五郎と申した。
後に加藤全庵として、父の由緒があるため渋谷良哲方で厄介になっていたが、元文三年戌年四月、養父杏庵の願いの通り婿養子を仰せ付けられ、幸伯と改名した。
元文四年未年十二月、養父杏庵が精出して良く勤めているので、稽古料として五人扶持を下し置かれた。
一、同五年申年七月、親仲間の願いの通り、初めての御目見を仰せ付けられた。
英語訳
With the intention of consulting about family succession, he left the Shibuya house and thereafter took his biological mother's family name, changing his name to Eguchi Eizen. In Kanbara District of Echigo Province, he married the daughter of Mizuhara Nagatake. Kanbei was the younger brother of Hori Hanemon Nagamasa, a hereditary retainer of Aizu, and served the domain as a 200-koku samurai. However, in the early Genroku period, he was sentenced to banishment for some crime and his family line was discontinued.
From his marriage to Nagatake's daughter were born Hayashi Kizaemon Mitsutomo, Kishi Ryōseki, and Busai. Busai was born on the 9th day of the 3rd month of Shōtoku 4 (1714), Year of the Horse, at Mizuhara, and was initially called Katō Daigorō.
Later, as Katō Zen'an, owing to his father's connections, he was taken care of by the Shibuya Ryōtetsu family. In the 4th month of Genbun 3 (1738), Year of the Dog, as requested by his adoptive father Kyōan, he was appointed as an adopted son-in-law and changed his name to Kōhaku.
In the 12th month of Genbun 4 (1739), Year of the Sheep, because adoptive father Kyōan was serving diligently with great effort, he was granted a five-person stipend as training allowance.
1. In the 7th month of the same 5th year (1740), Year of the Monkey, as requested by his親仲間 (fellow retainers), he was granted his first audience with the lord.
