Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye mʼbusa wanga, sindidzasowa kanthu.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Amandigoneka pa msipu wobiriwira, amanditsogolera ku madzi akumwa abwino,

3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.

amatsitsimutsa moyo wanga. Amanditsogolera mʼnjira zachilungamo chifukwa cha dzina lake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Ngakhale ndiyende mʼchigwa cha mdima wakuda bii, sindidzaopa choyipa, pakuti Inu muli ndi ine; chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu zimanditonthoza.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Mumandikonzera chakudya adani anga akuona. Mumadzoza mutu wanga ndi mafuta; chikho changa chimasefukira.

6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Zoonadi, zokoma ndi chikondi chosasinthika zidzanditsata masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo ndidzakhala mʼNyumba ya Yehova kwamuyaya.
