Psalms 23

1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye mʼbusa wanga, sindidzasowa kanthu.

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

Amandigoneka pa msipu wobiriwira, amanditsogolera ku madzi akumwa abwino,

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

amatsitsimutsa moyo wanga. Amanditsogolera mʼnjira zachilungamo chifukwa cha dzina lake.

4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

Ngakhale ndiyende mʼchigwa cha mdima wakuda bii, sindidzaopa choyipa, pakuti Inu muli ndi ine; chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu zimanditonthoza.

5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

Mumandikonzera chakudya adani anga akuona. Mumadzoza mutu wanga ndi mafuta; chikho changa chimasefukira.

6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.

Zoonadi, zokoma ndi chikondi chosasinthika zidzanditsata masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo ndidzakhala mʼNyumba ya Yehova kwamuyaya.
