Abụ Ọma 23

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

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

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

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the 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.

Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.

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

You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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.

Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
