現代語訳
田長政・毛利輝元と数度合戦に及び、鎮房父子は勝利を得た。同十七年、秀吉公の命により和睦し、鎮房の女を黒田長政に嫁がせた。しかし、ついに仲津の城での饗応の席で鎮房を討ち、朝房は肥後国鬼（判読困難）歯宿で加藤清正が四方を囲んで攻めたため、朝房は自殺した。下野国宇都宮城に差し置かれていた一族の宇都宮下野守国綱は、鎮房・朝房の滅亡後、我意を立てたため流罪に処せられた。ここに宇都宮家はことごとく滅亡した。
大膳大夫朝房の一子宇都宮治部左衛門朝末《稚名大助、母は秋月長門守種実の女、信心の祖父なり》は、朝房の死後、豊前国の彦山で生まれ、旧領の内に隠れ住んでいた。関ヶ原の陣の時、幼少のため家来の芳賀権之助という者を権現様の御旗本に差し上げ、この者は討死した。朝末が成長した後、京都に参り、近衛信基公の御取持ち、忠昌公も御取持ちされ、慶長十九年に権現様の御目見を仰せ付けられ、御金三百両、御腰物《来国俊》を拝領した。その後、家伝の御弓矢・御槍・御矢根を献上し、江戸で台徳院様にも御目見し、大坂の御矢入のため御射法を仰せ付けられ、御馬二匹その他品々を拝領した。同年上洛の道中、人数都合七百人あったため、糧米七百人扶持を下し置かれた。
しかし朝末は風毒腫を患い、大坂御陣の御供ができなくなった。翌年、権現様の上意により御再拝を台徳院様に献上した《その製は神代の幣》。同五月、大坂落城につき御祝儀として御太刀を献上し、忠昌公にも差し上げ、公儀より米千俵・時服五十・銀三百枚ならびに家来両人に御銀・時服を頂戴し、権現様からも段々拝領した。朝末は病気養生のため十年間坂本に参り、ついに病死した。その間、毎春公儀より米千俵ずつ下し置かれた。
朝末の一子宇都宮左近種房《稚名弥三郎又は大助、信心の父なり》は、二歳の時に朝末が死去したが、公儀より例の如く御扶持米を下されたところ、家来の安武市郎兵衛という者が京都で請け取り、直ちに逐電した。その上、権現様の御証文ならびに伝来の書物等を奪って出奔した。これにより御扶持の義もその節召し上げられたと心得、母と共に豊前国に下り、家来の者の養育により成人した。その後江戸に出て御老中に願書を差し出し、所々で相勤めていたが病死した。信心については、父左近の存生中より御家に召し出された。
英語訳
[Continuing from previous page about the Utsunomiya family]
...engaged in numerous battles with Kuroda Nagamasa and Mōri Terumoto, with father and son Shigefusa achieving victory. In the same 17th year [of Tenshō], by order of Lord Hideyoshi, they made peace and gave Shigefusa's daughter in marriage to Kuroda Nagamasa. However, Shigefusa was ultimately killed at a banquet in Nakatsu Castle, and Tomofusa committed suicide in Higo Province at Oni(?)ha-shuku when Katō Kiyomasa surrounded and attacked from all four directions. Utsunomiya Shimotsuke-no-kami Kunitsuna, a clan member who had been stationed at Utsunomiya Castle in Shimotsuke Province, was sentenced to exile for acting willfully after the destruction of Shigefusa and Tomofusa. Thus the Utsunomiya house was completely destroyed.
Daizen-no-dayū Tomofusa's only son, Utsunomiya Jibuzaemon Tomasue <<childhood name Daisuke, mother was daughter of Akizuki Nagato-no-kami Tanesane, grandfather of Shinshin>>, was born at Mount Hiko in Buzen Province after Tomofusa's death and lived in hiding within the former domain. During the Battle of Sekigahara, being young, he sent a retainer named Haga Gonnosuke to serve under Lord Ieyasu's banner, and this man died in battle. After Tomasue grew up, he went to Kyoto, where Konoe Nobumoto served as his patron, and Lord Tadamasa also acted as patron. In the 19th year of Keichō, he was granted an audience with Lord Ieyasu and received 300 ryō of gold and a sword <<Kunitsuna>>. Thereafter, he presented hereditary bows, arrows, spears, and arrowheads, had an audience with Lord Hidetada in Edo, was appointed for archery service for the Osaka campaign, and received two horses and various other items. That same year, during the journey to Kyoto, having a total of 700 men, he was granted provisions for 700 men.
However, Tomasue suffered from a toxic swelling illness and could not accompany the Osaka campaign. The following year, by Lord Ieyasu's command, he presented ritual bows again to Lord Hidetada <<made in the style of ancient sacred offerings>>. In the same fifth month, upon the fall of Osaka Castle, he presented a ceremonial sword in celebration, also presenting one to Lord Tadamasa, and received from the government 1,000 koku of rice, 50 sets of court dress, 300 pieces of silver, and silver and court dress for two retainers, also receiving various gifts from Lord Ieyasu. Tomasue went to Sakamoto for ten years to recover from his illness and eventually died there. During this time, he was granted 1,000 koku of rice each spring by the government.
Tomasue's only son, Utsunomiya Sakon Tanefusa <<childhood name Yasaburō or Daisuke, father of Shinshin>>, was two years old when Tomasue died. Although he continued to receive the customary stipend rice from the government, a retainer named Yasutake Ichirōbei collected it in Kyoto and immediately absconded with it. Moreover, he stole Lord Ieyasu's certificate and hereditary documents before fleeing. As a result, understanding that the stipend had been revoked at that time, he went down to Buzen Province with his mother and was raised by retainers to adulthood. Later he went to Edo, submitted petitions to the senior councillors, and served in various positions before dying of illness. As for Shinshin, he was summoned to service in your domain during his father Sakon's lifetime.
