Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

Nkunga Davidi. Yave niandi nsungi ama, ndilendi kambu kadi kima ko.

2 He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

Niandi wukuphundisanga muidi biti binlangu, Wukundatanga kuidi minlangu milembama.

3 He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

Niandi wunkindisanga muelꞌama. Niandi wukundiatisanga mu minsolo misonga mu diambu di dizina diandi.

4 For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

Ka diambu ko ndilenda diata mu ndimba tombi ki lufua, buna ndilendi mona mbimbi tsisi ko bila ngeyo widi yama. Nkawa aku ayi nti aku, biawu bi kumbombanga.

5 You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

Ngeyo wukubika meza va ntualꞌama va meso ma bambeni ziama. Ngeyo wuvinda ntuꞌama mafuta mbungu ama yilembo sapika.

6 And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.

Bukiedika, mamboti maku ayi luzolo biela kundandakana mu bilumbu bioso bi luzingu luama. Ayi ndiela vuanda mu nzo Yave mu zithangu zioso.
