< Psalms 23 >

1 Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.
Ra Anumzamo'a kva vaheni'a mani'neanki'na, mago zankura atupara osugahue.
2 You [encourage] me [and give me peace]; [you are like a shepherd] who leads [his sheep] to places where there is plenty of green grass [for them to eat], and lets them rest beside streams where the water [is flowing] slowly.
Ana hu'neankino afovage huno tretre'ma hu'nea trazampi nantege'na mani fru nehue. Ana nehuno kaza osu tintega navareno vige'na, tina ne'noe.
3 You renew my strength. You guide me along the roads that are the right ones [for me] in order that I can honor you.
Agra hanaveni'a ete eri kasefa nehuno, Agra'a agigu nentahino navareno fatgo avu'avazamofo kantera nevie.
4 Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines where I might be killed, I will not be afraid of anything because you are with me. You protect me [like a shepherd protects his sheep]. [He uses] his club and his walking stick [to protect them from being attacked by wild animals].
Ana nehu'na knazamo'ma rehanima hige'na, hanimpi neviankna hugahuanagi, anankna zamo'ma eme nazeri havizama hu'zankura korora osugahue. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamoka sipisipi kva vahe'mo'zama e'nerizankna azompaka'ane, sipisipima runeharizankna knonka'a eri'nenka nagrane mani'nanke'na ana zama negogeno'a, narimpamo'a fru nehie.
5 You prepare a [great] feast for me, in a place where my enemies can see me. You [joyfully receive me], [as people joyfully receive the guests they have invited] [by] pouring [olive] oil over their heads. You have given me very many blessings!
Ha' vahe'nimofo zamavuga, ra ne'zana retro hunenantane. Ana nehunka nasenifina masave taginka fre nenantenka, huhampri nantankeno, kapufinti'ma avite'noma herafiramiaza huno musezamo'a nagu'afintira aviteno varehineramie.
6 I am certain that you will be good to me and act mercifully toward me as long as I live; and [then, O] Yahweh, I will live in your home [in heaven] forever.
Tamagerfa huno Ra Anumzamofo knare avu'ava zamo'ene agri avesi'zamo'a ofri'nama kasefa hu'na ama mopafima manisua kna'afina, namage navararino vano hugahie. Ana nehanige'na Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi maka zupa manivava hugahue.
