Psalmowo 23

1 David ƒe ha. Yehowae nye kplɔnyela, eya ta naneke mahiãm o.

A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

2 Lãnyiƒe damawo dzi wòna metsyɔ akɔ ɖo, eye wòkplɔm yi tɔʋu fafɛwo gbɔe,

He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

3 hena nye luʋɔ gbɔ agbe. Ekplɔm to dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔwo dzi le eƒe ŋkɔ la ta.

He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

4 Ne mezɔ to ku ƒe balime si do viviti tsiɖitsiɖi hã la, nyemavɔ̃ dzɔgbevɔ̃e aɖeke o, elabena wòe le gbɔnye, eye wò lãkplɔti kple atikplɔ faa akɔ nam.

Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

5 Èɖo kplɔ̃ ɖe akɔnyeme le nye ketɔwo ƒe ŋkume. Èsi ami ɖe ta nam, nye kplu yɔ gbagba.

You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

6 Vavãe, dzɔgbenyui kple amenuveve adze yonyeme le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, eye manɔ Yehowa ƒe aƒe me ɖaa.

Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
