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 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 the still waters.

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

He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, 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.

When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook 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 anointest 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 mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
