Psalms 23

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

O IEHOVA ko'u Kahuhipa; Aole o'u mea e nele ai.

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.

Nana no wau i hoomoe iho ma na aina uliuli: Ua alakai oia ia'u ma kapa wai lana malie.

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.

Ke hoala mai nei oia i ko'u uhane: Ke alakai nei no oia ia'u ma na ala maikai no kona inoa.

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].

Oiaio, ina e hele au ma ke awawa malu o ka make, Aole au e weliweli i ka poina: no ka mea, o oe pu kekahi me au; O kou mana, a me kou kookoo, o ko'u mau mea ia e oluolu ai.

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!

Ke hoomakaukau mai nei oe i ka papaaina na'u ma ke alo o ko'u mau enemi: Ua kahinu mai oe i kuu poo me ka aila; Ua piha a hu ko'u kiaha.

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.

Oiaio, e hahai mau ana ia'u ka pono a me ke aloha i na la a pau o ko'u ola ana; A maloko o ka hale o Iehova owau e noho mau loa aku ai.
