Psalms 23

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

Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana ndiye mchungaji wangu, sitapungukiwa na kitu.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.

Hunilaza katika malisho ya majani mabichi, kando ya maji matulivu huniongoza,

3 He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

hunihuisha nafsi yangu. Huniongoza katika njia za haki kwa ajili ya jina lake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Hata kama nikipita katikati ya bonde la uvuli wa mauti, sitaogopa mabaya, kwa maana wewe upo pamoja nami; fimbo yako na mkongojo wako vyanifariji.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Waandaa meza mbele yangu machoni pa adui zangu. Umenipaka mafuta kichwani pangu, kikombe changu kinafurika.

6 Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

Hakika wema na upendo vitanifuata siku zote za maisha yangu, nami nitakaa nyumbani mwa Bwana milele.
