Psalms 23

1 THE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

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

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

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

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort 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 preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

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