< Psalms 23 >

1 Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.
زەبوورێکی داود. یەزدان شوانی منە، پێویستم بە هیچ نابێت.
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.
لە لەوەڕگای سەوزدا دەملەوەڕێنێت و دەمباتە سەر ئاوی هێمن و سازگار،
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.
گیانم دەبووژێنێتەوە. بەرەو ڕێگای ڕاستودروستی ڕێنماییم دەکات لە پێناوی ناوی خۆی.
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].
ئەگەر تەنانەت بەناو دۆڵی سێبەری مەرگیشدا بڕۆم، لە هیچ خراپەیەک ناترسم، لەبەر ئەوەی تۆ لەگەڵمدای، گۆچان و داردەستەکەت دڵنەواییم دەکەن.
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!
سفرەم بۆ ئامادە دەکەیت لەبەردەم دوژمنانم، زەیت لە سەرم دەدەیت بۆ دەستنیشانکردنم، جامەکەم لێوانلێو دەکەیت.
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.
بێگومان بە درێژایی ژیانم چاکە و خۆشەویستی نەگۆڕ بەدوام دەکەون، بۆ هەتاهەتایە لە ماڵی یەزدان دەژیم.
