Saam 23

1 David ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe kai ih tuu toepkung ah oh; kam tang mak ai.

[A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I will not lack.

2 Anih mah qam kahing ahmuen ah ang taboksak: anih mah tui taengah ang hoih.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 Anih mah ka hinghaih tha ang caksak: anih mah angmah ih ahmin hanah, toenghaih loklam ah ang hoih.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Ue, duekhaih tahlip mah khuk ih tahawt thungah ka caeh langlacadoeh, kai nang oh thuih pongah, kahoih ai hmuen roe to ka zii mak ai: nang ih thing hoi cunghet mah poekhaih ang mongsak.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 Ka misanawk hmaa ah caboi nang paroep pae: ka lu ah situi nang bawh; ka boengloeng loe amtlai pok.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

6 Ka hing thung hoihaih hoi palungnathaih to ka hnu poe ueloe, Angraeng imthung ah dungzan khoek to ka om tih boeh.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.
