Saam 23

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

A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

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

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

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

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in 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.

Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff — they comfort me.

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

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

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

Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
