Zabbuli 23

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mukama ye Musumba wange, seetaagenga.

Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 Angalamiza ne mpummulira mu ddundiro ly’omuddo omuto. Antwala awali amazzi amateefu.

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

3 Akomyawo emmeeme yange. Annuŋŋamya okukola eby’obutuukirivu olw’erinnya lye.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Newaakubadde nga ntambulira mu kiwonvu eky’ekisiikirize eky’olumbe, siritya kabi konna; kubanga ggwe oli nange. Oluga lwo n’omuggo gwo bye binsanyusa.

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

5 Onsosootolera emmere abalabe bange nga balaba; onsiize amafuta ku mutwe, ekikompe kyange kiyiwa.

Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Ddala ddala obulungi n’okwagala okutaggwaawo binaagendanga nange ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange; nange nnaabeeranga mu nnyumba ya Mukama, ennaku zonna.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever.
