Saam 23

1 Bawipa taw ka tuudoenkung na a awm dawngawh, am syt voel kawng nyng.

THE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 Qam a sainaak hun awh ni ih sak nawh, tui ang bymnaak hun na ni hqui hy.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 Ka hqingnaak ve ni tlaih pe nawh ang ming ak caming dyngnaak lam benna ce ni sawi hy.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Thihnaak lawk-kqawng hqaw nyng seiawm, ap kqih tikawng; kawtih na thingboeng ingkaw na sawnghqawl ing kang ngaih ni qep sak hy.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Ka qaalkhqi haiawh kai aham caboei ni tloeng pe hyk ti, ka lu ve situi ing ni syp pe nawh; kak boet awh be ngen hy.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Leeknaak ingkaw lungnaak ing ka hqing khui pyt awh ni hquut kawmsaw, Bawipa im awh kumqui dyna awm hawh kawng nyng.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
