Translation:

Eighty-seven years ago, our founding fathers established a new country on this land based on their firm belief in freedom and their belief that all men are created equal.

Eighty-seven years ago, our forefathers created a new country on this continent, which was conceived in freedom and pursued the principle that all men are created equal.

Now we are involved in a great civil war to test whether this country, or anyone who is based in Sri Lanka and dedicated to it, can be immortal. We are now gathered in the vast battlefield of this war. We will dedicate a part of this battlefield to those who gave their lives for the survival of this country as their final resting place. This is completely appropriate and what we should do.

Now, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether this country, or any country that was born here and pursues this road, can exist for a long time. We met on a great battlefield of that war. We are here to dedicate a part of this battlefield as the final resting place for those who gave their lives for this country. It is entirely appropriate for us to do so.

However, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, dedicate or achieve the sacredness of this land. These brave men, living or dead, have fought to the end in Sri Lanka, and they have long been sanctified, which is far beyond our humble power to increase or decrease. The world never paid attention to what we said, nor did it remember what we said for a long time, but we will never forget what he did here. We living people should certainly devote ourselves to the unfinished business of this generation. We are duty-bound to devote ourselves to the great mission before us: we should shoulder the ultimate dedication we received from the glorious dead-we promise here that the death of the dead will not be in vain-and this country should be free from death under the blessing of God when it enjoys a new free life-a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

However, in a broader sense, we can't dedicate-we can't sanctify-we can't deify-this land. The brave men who fought here, living and dead, have made this land sacred, which is far beyond our meager strength to increase or decrease. The world will not notice or remember what we said here for a long time, but it will never forget what they did here. On the contrary, we living people should devote ourselves here to the unfinished business that those who have fought here have so nobly advanced. We should devote ourselves to the great task before us here-from these glorious dead, we should devote more to the cause for which they gave their last full strength-and we are determined here that these dead people will not die in vain-this country will get a new life of freedom under the protection of God-this government of the people, by the people and for the people will not disappear from the earth.
