  人の世に 病の悩なかりせば 天津御国の現し世となるらん
 1  

The world of heaven on
This earth will result
When the suffering of
Disease is gone from the
Domain of human beings.

    いたつきの 無き世生ましめ給はんと 聖観音は現れましにける
 2   The Sacred Kannon has
Appeared in the world to
Give birth to a
World in which
Disease does not exist.

病とふ 悩みはいつか忘れける 御国の医術吾しりてより

 3   The suffering known as
Disease someday will be
Forgotten since I have
Learned the way of
Healing of God’s realm.
#3, S4-150A
  
   

類なき 医しの業の今はしも 神の御国に生れ出でんとすも

 4   A way of healing
Without parallel is
Now about to be
Born in the
Divine nation.
#4, S4-150B
   
   

日の本の 国より出づ大いなる 医しの業に世は救はれん

 5   The world will be saved
By the great way of
Healing that has
Appeared in the land from which
Appears the sun. 
#5, S4-150C
   
   

観音力 医しの御業生れなくば 人草やがて絶えしならむも

 6   Without the birth of
Kannon’s power of
Healing, the struggling
Peoples will
Finally perish. 
#6, S4-150D
  
   

いたつきの 因は積りし罪穢 なるを知るこそ此上なき幸なる

 7   No other happiness in
This world is to learn that
The cause of disease are the
Sins and impurities
That have accumulated.
#7, S4-150E
 
  

如何ならん 薬も人の罪穢 救ふ力はいささかもなき

 8 No medicine exists
That has any power
Whatsoever to save
Human beings from their
Sins and impurities.
#8, S4-151A
 
No matter what kind
Of medicine it may be,
It does not have one bid
Of power to save souls
From their sins and impurities.

病む人の 日に増し殖ゆるは薬とふ 毒飲む故と人ぞ知らかし

 9 All peoples, know that
Daily increases those who
Suffer from disease
Because they take the
Poison known as medicine.

二つなき 尊き生命縮むるを 知らで薬を服む人あはれ

10 Pitiful the people
Who take medicines
Not knowing that they
Shorten their precious,
Irreplaceable lives.

健かに 生命長からしめんとて 神の造りし病なるかも

11 Disease it is
God created
In order to
Prolong life
In health.

病とふ 浄めの業のなかりせば 健かに生く事はかなはじ

12 Living in health
There would not be
Without the function
Of purification
Known as disease.
