Psalms 23

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

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

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

Niandi wukuphundisanga muidi biti binlangu, Wukundatanga kuidi minlangu milembama.

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

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

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.

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 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!

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

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.

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