Zaburi 23

1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Jehova Nyasaye e jakwadha, ok anachand gimoro.

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

2 Omiyo ayweyo e lum mangʼich, otelona e aore mokwe,

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

3 odwogo chunya. Otaya e yore mag tim makare mondo nyinge oyud duongʼ.

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

4 Kata ka obedo ni awuotho e hoho mar tipo mar tho, to ok analuor gimoro marach, nimar in koda; ludhi gi odungani ema hoya.

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 Iloso mesa e nyima ka wasika neno. Iwiro wiya gi mo; kikombena opongʼ moo oko.

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

6 Adier, ber gihera biro luwa ndalo duto mag ngimana, kendo abiro dak e od Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ.

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.
