Abụ Ọma 23

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

`The salm, ether the song of Dauid. The Lord gouerneth me, and no thing schal faile to me;

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

in the place of pasture there he hath set me. He nurschide me on the watir of refreischyng;

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

he conuertide my soule. He ledde me forth on the pathis of riytfulnesse; for his name.

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.

For whi thouy Y schal go in the myddis of schadewe of deeth; Y schal not drede yuels, for thou art with me. Thi yerde and thi staf; tho han coumfortid me.

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

Thou hast maad redi a boord in my siyt; ayens hem that troblen me. Thou hast maad fat myn heed with oyle; and my cuppe, `fillinge greetli, is ful cleer.

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.

And thi merci schal sue me; in alle the daies of my lijf. And that Y dwelle in the hows of the Lord; in to the lengthe of daies.
