Psalms 23

1 Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.

Yahweh Pakai chu akelngoi keima eiching pa ahi, keiman lhah samna neiponge.

2 You [encourage] me [and give me peace]; [you are like a shepherd] who leads [his sheep] to places where there is plenty of green grass [for them to eat], and lets them rest beside streams where the water [is flowing] slowly.

Aman hamhing dumlah lah a kelngoi bangin eikicholdo sahjin, kilinglou hel twiveina pang dungah eipuilei.

3 You renew my strength. You guide me along the roads that are the right ones [for me] in order that I can honor you.

Yahweh Pakai in katha akiledoh ji. Amintheng khohsahna jalin lamdih lang jenga eipuilen ahi.

4 Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines where I might be killed, I will not be afraid of anything because you are with me. You protect me [like a shepherd protects his sheep]. [He uses] his club and his walking stick [to protect them from being attacked by wild animals].

Thim jin napen phaicham palgalkai jongleng keima kichaponge, ajeh chu nangman naum jing in nateng gol le namoljol chun neihongin neilhamon jinge.

5 You prepare a [great] feast for me, in a place where my enemies can see me. You [joyfully receive me], [as people joyfully receive the guests they have invited] [by] pouring [olive] oil over their heads. You have given me very many blessings!

Ka melmate masangtah jenga jong nangin kaneh ding ankong neiluipeh in, naphat theina thao ka lujangah neinupeh in kadon ding khonjong phatthei na aletset in ahi.

6 I am certain that you will be good to me and act mercifully toward me as long as I live; and [then, O] Yahweh, I will live in your home [in heaven] forever.

Tahbeh in phatnale hepinan kahinkho lhung keiya eijui jingding ahi, chuleh keijong tonsot na Yahweh Pakai inn sunga kachenjing ding ahi.
