Psalms 23

1 A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want:

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

2 In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;

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

3 My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.

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

4 Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, 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 spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

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

6 Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.

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