Psalms 23

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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