Well, very popular quotation in greece! You can write it in modern greek as: "Σκέπτομαι, άρα υπάρχω"
It could be pronounced as: "skEptome Ara ipArcho" the capital letters are stressed.
Which means "I think, therefore I am" (or "I think, therefore I exist")
You could learn Greek, or you could use something like Google Translate, and trust that it is accurate in its translation. Still, you’d have to learn the Greek Alphabet, and how to read it.

using English letters and without getting into a huge discussion of the exact nuances of "I think" you could do it as follows
edoxa dia eimi
This by the way is classical Greek not modern
His published, famous quote was in Latin, "Cogito ergo sum" although his original idea was "Dubito ergo sum" or "I doubt therefore I am" as his premise was built on the fac that he could doubt everything except his own existence and his being the one who was doubting.
However, as this implies that he could (and, it seems, did) doubt the existence of God at a time when the Holy Roman Catholic Church ruled and had recently put poor Bruno to death at the stake for similar "heresy", he made it more positive ( and a bit safer) resulting in the quote we have today.
This one can not presently get his computer to do Greek script so, from this one, you must settle for the Latin and an explanation.
namaste.
Due to the linear model of time that we use, this quote, has been updated, to "I thought, therefore I was". The reasoning being that the action of the thought, comes before the deduction. Making it something that has happened, and therefore in the past. And no longer proof of existence in the "Now".
edit; (Hope this helps)
