La Bu 23

1 Yahweh Pakai chu akelngoi keima eiching pa ahi, keiman lhah samna neiponge.

“A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 Aman hamhing dumlah lah a kelngoi bangin eikicholdo sahjin, kilinglou hel twiveina pang dungah eipuilei.

In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.

3 Yahweh Pakai in katha akiledoh ji. Amintheng khohsahna jalin lamdih lang jenga eipuilen ahi.

My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

4 Thim jin napen phaicham palgalkai jongleng keima kichaponge, ajeh chu nangman naum jing in nateng gol le namoljol chun neihongin neilhamon jinge.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed comfort me.

5 Ka melmate masangtah jenga jong nangin kaneh ding ankong neiluipeh in, naphat theina thao ka lujangah neinupeh in kadon ding khonjong phatthei na aletset in ahi.

Thou preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.

6 Tahbeh in phatnale hepinan kahinkho lhung keiya eijui jingding ahi, chuleh keijong tonsot na Yahweh Pakai inn sunga kachenjing ding ahi.

Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
