Psalms 23

1 A Psalm by David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana ndiye mchungaji wangu, sitapungukiwa na kitu.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

Hunilaza katika malisho ya majani mabichi, kando ya maji matulivu huniongoza,

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

hunihuisha nafsi yangu. Huniongoza katika njia za haki kwa ajili ya jina lake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Hata kama nikipita katikati ya bonde la uvuli wa mauti, sitaogopa mabaya, kwa maana wewe upo pamoja nami; fimbo yako na mkongojo wako vyanifariji.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Waandaa meza mbele yangu machoni pa adui zangu. Umenipaka mafuta kichwani pangu, kikombe changu kinafurika.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD’s house forever.

Hakika wema na upendo vitanifuata siku zote za maisha yangu, nami nitakaa nyumbani mwa Bwana milele.
