Salamo 23

1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

2 Mampandry ahy amin’ ny ahi-maitso Izy; mitondra ahy eo amoron’ ny rano fialan-tsasatra Izy.

He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

3 Mamelombelona ny fanahiko Izy; mitarika ahy amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahamarinana noho ny anarany Izy.

He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

4 Eny, na dia mandeha mamaky ny lohasaha aloky ny fahafatesana aza aho, dia tsy hatahotra ny loza aho, fa Hianao no amiko; ny tsorakazonao sy ny tehinao, ireo no mahafa-tahotra ahy.

For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

5 Mamelatra latabatra eo anoloako eo imason’ ny fahavaloko Hianao; manosotra diloilo ny lohako Hianao; ny kapoakako feno dia feno.

You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

6 Eny tokoa, fahasoavana sy famindram-po no hanaraka ahy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako, dia hitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah andro lava aho.

And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.
