< Sam 23 >

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh kaie tukhoumkung lah ao dawkvah, voutthoup hoi kaawm mahoeh.
A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.
2 Pho kahring um vah na tabo sak teh, kâhatnae tui teng vah na hrawi.
In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.
3 Ka hringnae a katha sak teh, amae min lahoi lannae lam dawk na hrawi.
He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.
4 Duenae tâhlip ravo dawk ka cet nakunghai, yawthoenae hai ka taket mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koevah nang na o, na sonron hoi na tahroe ni ka lung na mawng sak.
Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.
5 Ka tarannaw hmalah rawca na poe, ka lû dawk satui na awi teh, kaie manang teh poum lah a poum.
You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].
6 Ka hring nathung lungmanae hoi hawinae ni na kâbang sin vaiteh, BAWIPA im dawk a yungyoe ka o han.
Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
