Psalms 23

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

Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe azali mobateli na ngai, nakozanga ata eloko moko te.

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

Apemisaka ngai na matiti ya mobesu, mpe amemaka ngai pembeni ya mayi ya kimia.

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

Ayeisaka sika makasi ya bomoi na ngai, akambaka ngai na banzela ya bosembo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye.

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.

Ata soki nasengeli kokatisa lubwaku oyo etondi na molili ya kufa, nakobanga mabe ata moko te, pamba te ozali elongo na ngai, nzete na Yo ya mobateli ekambaka ngai, mpe lingenda na Yo ebatelaka ngai.

5 Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

Obongisaka mesa mpo na ngai na miso ya bayini na ngai, opakolaka moto na ngai mafuta mpe otondisaka kopo na ngai kino kosopana.

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

Solo, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ngai, esengo mpe bolingo na Yo ekobanda kolanda ngai; mpe nakovanda kati na Tempelo ya Yawe kino suka ya bomoi na ngai.
