Zaburi 23

1 Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

2 Yeye hunilaza katika majani mabichi; huniongoza kando ya maji matulivu.

He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

3 Yeye huurejesha uhai wangu; huniongoza katika njia iliyo sahihi kwa ajili ya jina lake.

He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

4 Hata ijapokuwa nikipita katika bonde la uvuli na giza nene, sitaogopa kudhurika kwa kuwa wewe uko pamoja nami; fimbo yako na gongo lako vya nifariji.

Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

5 Wewe waandaa meza mbele yangu katika uwepo wa maadui zangu; umenipaka mafuta kichwa changu na kikombe changu kinafurika.

You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

6 Hakika wema na uaminifu wa agano vitaniandama siku zote za maisha yangu; nami nitaishi katika nyumba ya Yahwe milele!

Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
