Psalms 23

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

Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana ndiye mchungaji wangu, sitapungukiwa na kitu.

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

Hunilaza katika malisho ya majani mabichi, kando ya maji matulivu huniongoza,

3 He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, For his name's sake.

hunihuisha nafsi yangu. Huniongoza katika njia za haki kwa ajili ya jina lake.

4 When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook and thy staff, they comfort me.

Hata kama nikipita katikati ya bonde la uvuli wa mauti, sitaogopa mabaya, kwa maana wewe upo pamoja nami; fimbo yako na mkongojo wako vyanifariji.

5 Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Waandaa meza mbele yangu machoni pa adui zangu. Umenipaka mafuta kichwani pangu, kikombe changu kinafurika.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Hakika wema na upendo vitanifuata siku zote za maisha yangu, nami nitakaa nyumbani mwa Bwana milele.
