< Zaburi 23 >

1 Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.
A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 Yeye hunilaza katika majani mabichi; huniongoza kando ya maji matulivu.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.
3 Yeye huurejesha uhai wangu; huniongoza katika njia iliyo sahihi kwa ajili ya jina lake.
He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
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.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
5 Wewe waandaa meza mbele yangu katika uwepo wa maadui zangu; umenipaka mafuta kichwa changu na kikombe changu kinafurika.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Hakika wema na uaminifu wa agano vitaniandama siku zote za maisha yangu; nami nitaishi katika nyumba ya Yahwe milele!
Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.
