現代語訳
命の助けとなった刀であるので、再び帰参して、いよいよ高名を上げるようにと与えられた。《右の玉一つは大竹孫太郎方に所持している》《一つは家に所持していたが、寛文年中の大火の際に焼失した》
その後長い間御勘気を許されなかったため、しばらくの間織田信長公へ奉公し、その後鳥居彦右衛門元忠公へ客人分として出仕した。天正年中の甲州黒駒、武州岩槻、奥州南部の陣にも出陣し、度々手柄を立てたので、元忠公が何かと哀れみ慈しんでくださったため奉公していたところ、元和三年三月二十五日に病死した。
《法名は往仙紅珍居士、葬所は不詳。後に盛道山高巌寺へ墓を立てた》その子三人がおり、嫡子孫右衛門政道、二男郷左衛門正重、一人は女子であった。正重は権現様(徳川家康)へ御奉公し二百石を下されていたが、元和元年大坂夏の陣の際に御供して戦功があったため、翌辰年正月に二百石の御加増を下された。その後水戸中納言頼房公へ御奉公し千石を下され持弓頭を勤めたが、同四年二月二十一日に病死した。《法名・葬所は不詳》子孫は
英語訳
This sword had saved his life, so it was given to him with the words "return to service again and achieve even greater military honors." 《One of the bullets is kept by the Otake Magotaro family》《One was kept in the house but was lost in the great fire during the Kanbun era》
After that, he was not pardoned from his lord's displeasure for a long time, so he temporarily served Oda Nobunaga, and later served Torii Hikouemon Mototada as a guest retainer. During the Tensho era, he also participated in campaigns at Kurokoma in Koshu, Iwatsuki in Musashi, and Nanbu in Oshu, achieving military honors repeatedly. Because of this, Lord Mototada showed him much compassion and favor, but while he was in service, he died of illness on March 25th of Genna 3rd year.
《Buddhist name: Osen Koshin Koji, burial place unknown. Later a grave was erected at Kogan-ji Temple on Mt. Seido》He had three children: eldest son Magouemon Masamichi, second son Gozaemon Masashige, and one daughter. Masashige served Gongen-sama (Tokugawa Ieyasu) and was granted 200 koku. During the Summer Campaign of Osaka in the first year of Genna, he accompanied his lord and achieved military merit, so in the following year (Year of the Dragon) in January, he was granted an additional 200 koku. Later he served Mito Chunagon Yorifusa and was granted 1000 koku, serving as commander of archers (mochiyumi-gashira). He died of illness on February 21st of the same 4th year. 《Buddhist name and burial place unknown》His descendants...
