  尊く も 我日の本は美の国と 神奠まれる国にぞありける
105  

Our precious
Origin of the sun is a
Nation that has been
Designated by God as a
Land of beauty.

S6-221A. 
         
    忌はしき  病の悩み次々に 発るは穢れし世なればなりけり
106   Horrifying suffering from
Disease and sickness
Prevails because
Our world contains
So many impurities.
S6-221B.
The reason why
Loathsome distress of disease
Continuously occurs is
That this world still has
Been spoiled by impurities.
Translation by taki
         
   

村肝の 尊き命 は畏くも 神の御手にありと知れかし

107   Know that
Our precious
Lives are in the
Hands of the  
Almighty God.
S6-221C.
