A translation is given in a leaflet available at the cemetery:

For the souls who have departed this life for their Master in the holy community of Hong Kong, may God protect it. And this (land) is a gift of our mistress the Queen (Victoria) may God bless her, given with payment in a full sum of money that was necessary by David Sassoon in the year [615]. May he see offspring and have a long life.
