Psalms 23

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

David ƒe ha. Yehowae nye kplɔnyela, eya ta naneke mahiãm o.

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

Lãnyiƒe damawo dzi wòna metsyɔ akɔ ɖo, eye wòkplɔm yi tɔʋu fafɛwo gbɔe,

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

hena nye luʋɔ gbɔ agbe. Ekplɔm to dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔwo dzi le eƒe ŋkɔ la ta.

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.

Ne mezɔ to ku ƒe balime si do viviti tsiɖitsiɖi hã la, nyemavɔ̃ dzɔgbevɔ̃e aɖeke o, elabena wòe le gbɔnye, eye wò lãkplɔti kple atikplɔ faa akɔ nam.

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.

Èɖo kplɔ̃ ɖe akɔnyeme le nye ketɔwo ƒe ŋkume. Èsi ami ɖe ta nam, nye kplu yɔ gbagba.

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.

Vavãe, dzɔgbenyui kple amenuveve adze yonyeme le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, eye manɔ Yehowa ƒe aƒe me ɖaa.
