Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

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

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 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 prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

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

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.

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