Abụ Ọma 23

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

[A Psalm by David.] Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

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

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

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

He restores my soul. He guides me in 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.

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.

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

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

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 Jehovah's house forever.
