伊勒圖，納喇氏，滿洲正白旗人。 Yi Leitu, of the Nara clan, was a Manchu bannerman of the Plain White Banner.

伊勒圖偕參贊大臣阿里袞與戰，奪寨三，殺賊五千餘。 Yi Leitu fought alongside Assistant Military Governor Aligun, took three stockades, and killed more than five thousand of the enemy.

伊勒圖以聞，高宗命加意撫綏，俾得所。 Yi Leitu reported the arrival to the throne, and the Qianlong Emperor ordered that they be settled with particular care.

伊勒圖請增置佐領，俾領其眾，從之。 Yi Leitu asked that additional company captaincies be created to command the new tribesmen, and the court agreed.

兵部議禁鳥槍，伊勒圖以土爾扈特部新歸附，牧馬禦豺虎恃鳥槍，不當一體收禁。 When the Ministry of War proposed a general ban on firearms, Yi Leitu argued that the newly submitted Torghuts relied on muskets to herd their horses and drive off predators, and should not be disarmed wholesale.

五十年七月，卒，諡襄武，封一等伯，祀賢良祠。 He died in the seventh month of the fiftieth year and was posthumously titled Xiangwu, created a first-class baron, and entered for worship in the Temple of Eminent Statesmen.

伊勒圖在邊二十餘年，諸所經畫，縝密垂久遠。 Yi Leitu spent more than twenty years on the frontier, and every policy he devised was careful, thorough, and built to last.

伊勒圖請仍如舊制，使遣犯與為奴者有別。 Yi Leitu asked that the old distinction be preserved between exiled convicts and convicts formally enslaved to the military.

命如伊犁董理屯田，歲豐，伊犁將軍伊勒圖奏綠營兵二千二百名，人穫米二十八石有奇。 Sent to Ili to oversee military farming, he brought in a bumper harvest; Ili General Yi Leitu reported that his 2,200 Green Standard troops averaged more than twenty-eight piculs of grain per man.

伊勒圖鎮伊犁，徠屬部，著拊循之績。 Yi Leitu, holding Ili, brought dependent tribes within the fold and left a record of wise pastoral governance.
