The Full set of the scans of the PTS translations of the 4 Nikāyas and the Vinaya are available in zipped PDF files at: http://buddhadust.net/backmatter/indexes/idx_downloads.htm#pts_pdfs

This is the same collection as mentioned above as located at obo.genaud.net. That site has become obsolete due to our inability to update the site and has been replaced by buddhadust.net. This site also has the full set of PTS translations in html format. The new site has been completely converted to Unicode which makes use of the source files much easier.

If these files are wanted strictly for personal reading, the PDFs will just make it: they are not of the best quality scans. They were originally put together to assist in proofreading the html files. If what is wanted is a clear rendering for further distribution it would probably be better to take the source files of the html version and convert them directly with a tool like Calibre.

The site also contains all the Bhk. Bodhi translations made available to the public gratis; the translations of Bhk. Thanissaro; the Sister Upalavanna translations, the translations of the Majjhima of Lord Chalmers, the manuscript of Bhk. Nanamoli's translation of the Majjhima, and the individual sutta translations of a variety of lesser-known translators and the Pali text. All in html format. Translations are linked to each other and to the Pali. See the Sutta Index Page: http://buddhadust.net/backmatter/indexes/sutta/sutta_toc.htm which lists every single sutta with a short description. The PTS suttas have also mostly been unabridged in the html version.

I am presuming you are looking for translations. There is the Buddha Jayanthi edition which has both Sinhala and Pali.

English

Multi languages

Pali

Sinhala (Since you name sounds like a Sinhalese name including including some in Singhala script)
