Salamo 23

1 Mpiarak’ ahy t’Iehovà, tsy hieran-draho;

A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

2 Ampandrea’e an-dovoke maindoñe ao, tehafe’e mb’añ’olon-drano mipendreñe mb’eo.

He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

3 Vaòe’e ty fiaiko, iaoloa’e mb’an-dalam-bantañe, ty amy tahina’ey.

He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

4 Ndra t’ie miranga i vatanen- talinjon-kavilasiy, tsy ho hemban-karatiañe amy te Ihe ro amako; mpañohò ahiko ty kobai’o naho ty fitoño’o.

Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

5 Halànkañe’o fandambañañe aoloko añatrefan-drafelahiko eo; añiliña’o solike ty lohako, mandopatse ty fitoviko.

Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

6 Toe hañorik’ ahy amo hene andro hivelomakoo ty hasoa naho ty fiferenaiñañe; le hitobok’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao nainai’e.

Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
