Psalms 23

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

He himene na Rawiri. Ko Ihowa toku hepara; e kore ahau e hapa.

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

Ko ia hei mea kia takoto ahau ki nga wahi tarutaru hou: e arahi ana ia i ahau ki te taha o nga wai ata rere.

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

Ko ia hei whakahoki ake i toku wairua: e arahi ana ia i ahau i nga ara o te tika, he whakaaro ki tona ingoa.

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.

Ae, ahakoa haere ahau i te awaawa o te atarangi o te mate, kahore he kino e wehi ai ahau: no te mea kei toku taha koe; ko tau rakau, ko tau tokotoko, ko ena hei oranga ngakau moku.

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

E taka ana e koe he tepu ki toku aroaro i te tirohanga a oku hoariri, e whakawahia ana e koe toku matenga ki te hinu, purena tonu taku kapu.

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.

He pono e aru i ahau te pai me te atawhai i nga ra katoa e ora ai ahau, a ka noho ahau ki te whare o Ihowa ake tonu atu.
