Psalms 23

1 “A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Bawipa taw ka tuudoenkung na a awm dawngawh, am syt voel kawng nyng.

2 In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.

Qam a sainaak hun awh ni ih sak nawh, tui ang bymnaak hun na ni hqui hy.

3 My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

Ka hqingnaak ve ni tlaih pe nawh ang ming ak caming dyngnaak lam benna ce ni sawi hy.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed comfort me.

Thihnaak lawk-kqawng hqaw nyng seiawm, ap kqih tikawng; kawtih na thingboeng ingkaw na sawnghqawl ing kang ngaih ni qep sak hy.

5 Thou preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.

Ka qaalkhqi haiawh kai aham caboei ni tloeng pe hyk ti, ka lu ve situi ing ni syp pe nawh; kak boet awh be ngen hy.

6 Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.

Leeknaak ingkaw lungnaak ing ka hqing khui pyt awh ni hquut kawmsaw, Bawipa im awh kumqui dyna awm hawh kawng nyng.
