Psalms 23

1 A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

2 He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

Yeye hunilaza katika majani mabichi; huniongoza kando ya maji matulivu.

3 He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

Yeye huurejesha uhai wangu; huniongoza katika njia iliyo sahihi kwa ajili ya jina lake.

4 Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

Hata ijapokuwa nikipita katika bonde la uvuli na giza nene, sitaogopa kudhurika kwa kuwa wewe uko pamoja nami; fimbo yako na gongo lako vya nifariji.

5 You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

Wewe waandaa meza mbele yangu katika uwepo wa maadui zangu; umenipaka mafuta kichwa changu na kikombe changu kinafurika.

6 Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

Hakika wema na uaminifu wa agano vitaniandama siku zote za maisha yangu; nami nitaishi katika nyumba ya Yahwe milele!
