Zaburi 23

1 Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
