Traducao (Portugues)

Desculpem, mas não quero ser imperador. Não é da minha conta. Não quero governar nem conquistar ninguém. Gostaria de ajudar a todos, se possível. Todos queremos ajudar uns aos outros. Os seres humanos são assim. Queremos viver pela felicidade uns dos outros, não pela miséria. Não queremos odiar e desprezar uns aos outros. Neste mundo há espaço para todos, e a boa terra é rica. O caminho da vida pode ser livre e belo, mas perdemos o rumo. Para aqueles que podem me ouvir, eu digo: não se desesperem. O ódio dos homens passará, e os ditadores morrerão. E o poder que tiraram do povo voltará ao povo. Vocês, o povo, têm o poder de tornar esta vida livre e bela. Lutemos por um mundo de razão, onde a ciência e o progresso levem à felicidade de todos.
