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 am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to 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.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff 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.

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

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

Surely goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
