< Salamo 23 >
1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.
2 Mampandry ahy amin’ ny ahi-maitso Izy; mitondra ahy eo amoron’ ny rano fialan-tsasatra Izy.
He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.
3 Mamelombelona ny fanahiko Izy; mitarika ahy amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahamarinana noho ny anarany Izy.
He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.
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.
Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.
5 Mamelatra latabatra eo anoloako eo imason’ ny fahavaloko Hianao; manosotra diloilo ny lohako Hianao; ny kapoakako feno dia feno.
You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!
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.
I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
