我們敬愛的納爾遜-羅利赫拉赫拉-曼德拉，這個民主國家的國父，已經(jīng)去世了。

2013年12月5號20點(diǎn)50分（當(dāng)?shù)貢r間），曼德拉在家人的陪伴下安詳?shù)仉x世了。

He is now resting. He is now at peace.

Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father.

Although we knew that this day would come, nothing can diminish our sense of a profound and enduring loss.
盡管知道這一天終將到來，我們?nèi)愿械竭@是一個巨大在而無法彌補(bǔ)的損失。

His tireless struggle for freedom earned him the respect of the world.
他鍥而不舍地為自由而奮斗，贏得了世界的尊重。

His humility, his compassion, and his humanity earned him their love. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mandela family. To them we owe a debt of gratitude.
謙遜、慈悲和人文關(guān)懷為他贏得了無盡的愛。我們和曼德拉家人同在，一起為曼德拉總統(tǒng)祈禱。我們欠他們數(shù)不清的感謝。

They have sacrificed much and endured much so that our people could be free.
他們犧牲了許多，忍受了許多，才換來人民的自由。

Our thoughts are with his wife Mrs Graca Machel, his former wife Ms Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, with his children, his grand-children, his great grand-children and the entire family.

Our thoughts are with the South African people who today mourn the loss of the one person who, more than any other, came to embody their sense of a common nationhood.
今日前來悼念曼德拉，踐行國家觀念的人民，我們和你們同在。

Our thoughts are with the millions of people across the world who embraced Madiba as their own, and who saw his cause as their cause.
視曼德拉為自己的同胞，將曼德拉的事業(yè)視為自己事業(yè)的世界人民，我們和你們同在。

This is the moment of our deepest sorrow.
