How does it translate in russian? Hi everyone. Can you help me to translate the following sentence? Lincoln told the gathering to be resolved “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” The main question is how to translate "to be resolved".

It's a little hard to say, as it is slightly old-fashioned. I think that the meaning of 'resolve' here is something between 'decide firmly on a course of action' and 'make a decision by a formal vote.' Without the context of what the meeting was, it could be either. If it was a meeting of a body with formal powers, it could be the latter. If it was just a group of people that were agreeing on a policy, then it would be the first.
