< Psalms 23 >
1 Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.
Dávid zsoltára. Az Úr az én pásztorom; nem szűkölködöm.
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.
Fűves legelőkön nyugtat engem, és csendes vizekhez terelget engem.
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.
Lelkemet megvidámítja, az igazság ösvényein vezet engem az ő nevéért.
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].
Még ha a halál árnyékának völgyében járok is, nem félek a gonosztól, mert te velem vagy; a te veszsződ és botod, azok vigasztalnak engem.
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!
Asztalt terítesz nékem az én ellenségeim előtt; elárasztod fejem olajjal; csordultig van a poharam.
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.
Bizonyára jóságod és kegyelmed követnek engem életem minden napján, s az Úr házában lakozom hosszú ideig.
