Psalms 23

1 A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova nĩwe mũrĩithi wakwa, ndirĩ kĩndũ ingĩaga.

2 He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

Atũmaga njarahe ũrĩithio-inĩ ũrĩ nyeki nduru, aandongoragia maaĩ-inĩ marĩ na ũhurũko.

3 He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

Nĩariũkagia ngoro yakwa, akandongoragia njĩra-inĩ cia ũthingu, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake.

4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

O na ingĩtuĩka ndĩrahungurĩra mũkuru ũrĩ nduma ta ya gĩkuũ, ndirĩ ũũru ingĩĩtigĩra, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩ hamwe na niĩ; thiarĩ waku na mũthĩgi waku nĩciihooreragia.

5 Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

Ũnjaragĩra metha mbere yakwa o harĩa thũ ciakwa irĩ. Ũnjitagĩrĩria maguta mũtwe; gĩkombe gĩakwa nĩkĩiyũrĩrĩire.

6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

Ti-itherũ wega na wendani nĩirĩrũmanagĩrĩra na niĩ matukũ mothe ma muoyo wakwa, na niĩ ngũtũũra nyũmba ya Jehova nginya tene.
