Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

2 In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

3 He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

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

4 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.

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 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].

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

6 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.

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