Salamo 23

1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

2 Mampandry ahy amin’ ny ahi-maitso Izy; mitondra ahy eo amoron’ ny rano fialan-tsasatra Izy.

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

3 Mamelombelona ny fanahiko Izy; mitarika ahy amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahamarinana noho ny anarany Izy.

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

4 Eny, na dia mandeha mamaky ny lohasaha aloky ny fahafatesana aza aho, dia tsy hatahotra ny loza aho, fa Hianao no amiko; ny tsorakazonao sy ny tehinao, ireo no mahafa-tahotra ahy.

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

5 Mamelatra latabatra eo anoloako eo imason’ ny fahavaloko Hianao; manosotra diloilo ny lohako Hianao; ny kapoakako feno dia feno.

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

6 Eny tokoa, fahasoavana sy famindram-po no hanaraka ahy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako, dia hitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah andro lava aho.

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
