新譯《聖經·詩篇》第二十三篇 （雙調）

新譯《聖經·詩篇》第二十三篇　（雙調） （以色列所羅門王的父親大衛王的著名讚美詩） 耶和華是我的牧者，我必無缺憾。祂帶我躺臥在青青的牧場、悠閑靜謐的水邊。祂重建我的靈魂，為祂的名引領我走義路。 我雖行在死蔭的幽穀，也不怕那惡者之凶殘！因你與我同在。你的杖、你的竿都令我欣慰、安然；在仇敵麵前，你為我擺上了桌盤盛宴。你用油膏抹我的頭，並使我福杯溢滿。我一生一世，必有賢良和慈愛終日相伴，我且要住在耶和華的殿中直到永遠！ （注：１．耶和華是希伯來語Jehovah，希伯來原文是Yahweh 和Yeshua，意思是“成事者”、“那名”和“獨一無二者”，意思即上帝、神；２．以色列人認為，用油膏抹頭發是一種與聖靈有關的祝福，也為掌權者或最高統治者膏抹頭發是表示有神的祝福；並認為油膏頭發能防病辟邪，因而被認為是一種最保險的預備；３．倒數第四句本來可以翻譯成仇人或充滿敵意之人，現在決定翻譯成＂仇敵＂是因為有兩本聖經的英文都是enemy和hostility而充滿＂敵意＂使然；） 附上英文譯本：和合本－新國際新版和新世界譯本等不同版本聖經英語譯文：Psalm 23，New International Version (NIV)Psalm 23，A psalm of David：1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.Footnotes:Psalm 23:4Or the valley of the deep shadow of deathLord means that is Jehavoh God;天，主，耶和華上帝的代稱．c. 為什麽以色列人和某些國家要用拌香料的油膏抹人的頭？請看維基百科的解釋：To anointis to pour or smear withperfumedoil, milk, water, melted butter or other substances, a process employed ritually by many religions.
