Psalms 23

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

2 He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

Yeye hunilaza katika majani mabichi; huniongoza kando ya maji matulivu.

3 He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

Yeye huurejesha uhai wangu; huniongoza katika njia iliyo sahihi kwa ajili ya jina lake.

4 Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

Hata ijapokuwa nikipita katika bonde la uvuli na giza nene, sitaogopa kudhurika kwa kuwa wewe uko pamoja nami; fimbo yako na gongo lako vya nifariji.

5 You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

Wewe waandaa meza mbele yangu katika uwepo wa maadui zangu; umenipaka mafuta kichwa changu na kikombe changu kinafurika.

6 Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!

Hakika wema na uaminifu wa agano vitaniandama siku zote za maisha yangu; nami nitaishi katika nyumba ya Yahwe milele!
