上七代・下七代・上無量生下無量生の父母等存外に仏となり給う - all the fathers and mothers of the preceding seven generations and the seven generations that followed, indeed, of countless lifetimes before and after, were able to become Buddhas.
法華経を信じまいらせし大善は我が身仏になるのみならず父母仏になり給う、上七代・下七代・上無量生下無量生の父母等存外に仏となり給う、乃至子息・夫妻・所従・檀那・無量の衆生・三悪道をはなるるのみならず皆初住・妙覚の仏となりぬ

法華経を信ずるという大善は、自身が仏になるだけではなく、父親、母親も仏になることができる。
さらに、過去世は七代、来世は七代の自身の父母を成仏させることができるのである。また、上・下全ての先祖、子孫、縁した友人まで、地獄・餓鬼・畜生界の三悪道から救い出すだけでなく、一人ももれず成仏させることができるのである。
English Translations
" On Offerings for Deceased Ancestors "
The Venerable Maudgalyāyana put his faith in the Lotus Sutra, which is the greatest good there is, and thus not only did he himself attain Buddhahood, but his father and mother did so as well. And, amazing as it may seem, all the fathers and mothers of the preceding seven generations and the seven generations that followed, indeed, of countless lifetimes before and after, were able to become Buddhas.
In addition, all their sons, their wives or husbands, their retainers, supporters, and countless other persons not only were enabled to escape from the three evil paths, but all attained the first stage of security and then Buddhahood, the stage of perfect enlightenment.

Interpretation (liberal translation)
One achieves the big good conduct a Lotus Sutra is believed in Buddhahood and a father and a mother can achieve in Buddhahood, too.
Moreover, the parents in seven generations of the life in the past and parents in seven generations of the future life can be Buddhahood.
An ancestor of all as well as that, a descendant and my friend are rescued from three bad roads of the hellish world, the hungry world and the beast world. And one person can be Buddhahood without exception.
