< Psalms 23 >

1 A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.
Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.
2 He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:
Yeye hunilaza katika majani mabichi; huniongoza kando ya maji matulivu.
3 He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.
Yeye huurejesha uhai wangu; huniongoza katika njia iliyo sahihi kwa ajili ya jina lake.
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.
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 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!
Wewe waandaa meza mbele yangu katika uwepo wa maadui zangu; umenipaka mafuta kichwa changu na kikombe changu kinafurika.
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.
Hakika wema na uaminifu wa agano vitaniandama siku zote za maisha yangu; nami nitaishi katika nyumba ya Yahwe milele!
