備中神楽・国譲り

(Kuni yuzuri)
Abdication

　高天原より経津主の命・武甕槌の命の両神が、出雲国を治める大國主の命のもとに現れる。

Gods of "Futunusi no mikoto" and "Takemikaduti no mikoto" appear to "Ookuninusi no mikoto", the King who governs the Izumo Country.

　両神は天照大神の勅使として、國を譲るよう勧告にやってきたのだ。大國主と両神の交渉は決裂するが、稲脊脛の命が現れこれを仲裁する。

Both God came over for an advice to hand over a country as an Imperial envoy of the Sun-Goddess. The negotiations of Ookuninusi no mikoto and the both of Gods break down, but "Inasehagi no mikoto" appears and arbitrates this.

　談判の結果、國を譲るか否かの判断は、大國主息子の事代主の命に委ねられることに。事代主の命は「皇孫に國を献上すべし」と進言するが、もう一人の息子の建御名方の命は憤慨。単身、両神へ闘いを挑む。

　As a result of the negotiation, a decision of handing over the country is entrusted to "Kotosironusi no mikoto", a son of "Ookuninusi no mikoto." "Kotosironusi no mikoto" makes a proposal to "give aristocratic posterity the country", but "Takeminakata no mikoto", the other son feels indignant. "Takeminakata no mikoto" challenges to fight with both of Gods.

　乱戦の末、二対一の負い目もあり建御名方の命もついに力つきて降参する。そして、両神がうれしき舞をおさめ幕となる。

After a confused fight, "Takeminanokata no mikoto" surrenders because his power is less compaired with the power of the two gods.
