Abụ Ọma 23

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Onyenwe anyị na-azụ m dịka atụrụ, ọ dịghị ihe akọrọ m.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 Ọ na-eme ka m dinaa ala nʼebe ahịhịa ndụ na-eto, ọ na-edugharị m nʼakụkụ mmiri dị jụụ,

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.

3 ọ na-atụte mkpụrụobi m. Ọ na-edu m nʼụzọ niile nke ezi omume nʼihi aha ya.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 A sịkwarị na m na-aga ije, na ndagwurugwu nke ọchịchịrị ọnwụ, agaghị m atụ egwu ihe ọjọọ ọbụla; nʼihi na ị nọnyeere m, mkpọrọ gị na mkpanaka gị na-akasị m obi.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 Ị na-akwado tebul nʼihu m, nʼanya ndị iro m. I tere isi m mmanụ iko m na-ejubiga oke.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Nʼezie, ịdị mma na ebere ga-agbaso m ogologo ụbọchị niile nke ndụ m, m ga-ebikwa nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị mgbe niile ebighị ebi.

Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.
