Psalms 23

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

परमप्रभु मेरो गोठाला हुनुहुन्छ । मलाई कुनै कुरा खाँचो पर्नेछैन ।

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.

उहाँले मलाई हरियो खर्कहरूमा सुताउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले मलाई शान्‍त पानीको छेउमा डोर्‍याउनुहुन्छ ।

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.

उहाँले मेरो जीवनलाई पुनर्जीवित पार्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले आफ्‍नो नाउँको खातिर मलाई ठिक बाटो देखाउनुहुन्छ ।

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].

मैले निस्‍पट्ट अँध्‍यारो छायाको बेसीमा हिंड्‍नुपर्दा पनि, हानिसँग म डराउनेछैन किनभने तपाईं मसँग हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंको लट्ठी र तपाईंको लौरोले मलाई सान्त्वना दिन्छन् ।

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!

मेरा शत्रुहरूका सामु तपाईंले मेरो निम्ति भोज तयार पार्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मेरो शिरलाई तेलले अभिषेक गर्नुभएको छ । मेरो कचौरा भरिएर पोखिन्छ ।

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.

निश्‍चय नै, मेरो जीवनका सारा दिन भलाइ र करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता मेरो पछि आउनेछ । र परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा म सधैंभरि वास गर्नेछु ।
