The Five Crows Bushido is found in dying for God. To betray my King and my God is utterly ridiculous! Noumaku sarabatattagyateibyaku sarabatobokkeibyaku sarabatatarata sendanmakaroshada kengyakiigyaki sarababikinan untarataa kanman O knights of this world, You cannot live without sorrow. When you consider the people you must protect, and the duty of death in your faith, O God, our souls will soon be seen again in your presence. And gentlemen, let our bodies decay with the infidels. Do you submit to Allah? The infidels pressed King Oli of Bavaria, who had been captured. The king cried out proudly, To betray my King and my God is utterly ridiculous! The infidels hurled spears at him and tortured him to death. His soul was taken up by angels to the Lord. How ridiculous! Betray my guardian deity, the king of ravens who swore to save me! How ridiculous! To betray my king, my god! I did not succumb to temptation. I never betrayed you. I am very proud of that. I would not trample on the fumi-e (a picture of Christ or Mary used to test faith). Come at me, Hajun, from anywhere. No attack or scheme can break my unwavering faith. The commandment of constant combat: You must fight. Do not die a dog's death without fighting. The commandment of unwavering resolve: You must never surrender. The commandment of constant protection: You must help and protect the weak. The commandment of non-belief: You must be warned! Protect God and never turn your back on Him. A martyrdom is inevitable; you must never betray God. That two-sword master teaches: Buddha and God are revered, but do not rely on them. The Five Crow Warriors do not cling to God. Rather, they stand on the side of protecting God. Like European knights, They steadfastly believe in God and overcome both their enemies and themselves. Buddha and God are revered, but do not rely on them. Warriors of God, fight desperately, never betray; take the Western knights as your model. To betray our King, our God, is utterly ridiculous! O God, by the power of your will, our fear has been transformed into unwavering courage. Even Hajun must be gnashing his teeth. And O Spiritual Father, by your courageous spirit, we have acquired a resolve to face death with madness. And I myself contemplate the Pure Land of the Five Owls, beyond that. Your will, the madness to face death, the Pure Land of the Five Owls—with this three-pronged guarantee, we are invincible. Yet I am prepared to die for you, even without any reward or return. We have nothing to fear, for we are all destined to die. Just as a mayfly desperately tries to survive even if it can only fly for a single day, our lives are equally fleeting. Therefore, within us resides an unwavering heart that transcends life and death. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. For forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. The readiness to die, the life we risk, is for our God; the one we must protect is you. The Five Crows Bushido is found in dying for God. To betray our King, our God is laughable! To betray our King, our God is laughable! To betray our King, our God is laughable!
