¹And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

¹ Bi loolu amee ndaw yi ak bokk yi nekk ci diiwaanu Yude, dégg nañu ne, ñi dul Yawut nangu nañu kàddug Yàlla.

²And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

² Bi Piyeer demee Yerusalem nag, kureelu Yawut gi farataal xaraf, di werante ak moom ne ko:

³Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

³ «Lu tax nga dem ca këru ñu xarafal, bay lekk sax ak ñoom?»

⁴But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

⁴ Noonu Piyeer daldi leen benn-bennal mbir mi, nettali leen ko

⁵I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

⁵ ne: «Nekkoon naa ca dëkku Yope, di fa ñaan ci Yàlla, ba far sama xol seey ci moom; noonu ma am peeñu: lu mel ni sér bu mag wàcc, jóge ci asamaan, ñu yoor ko ca ñeenti laf ya, mu ñëw ba ci man.

⁶Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

⁶ Ma xool ko jàkk, seetlu ko bu baax, ma gis ca boroom ñeenti tànk yu nekk ci kaw suuf, di rabi àll yi, yiy raam ak picci asamaan.

⁷And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

⁷ Te dégg naa baat bu ma ne: “Jógal Piyeer, rey te lekk.”

⁸But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

⁸ Waaye ma tontu ne: “Mukk Boroom bi, ndax dara lu daganul mbaa lu araam musul a dugg ci sama gémmiñ.”

⁹But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

⁹ Waaye ñaareel bi yoon baat bi dellu ne ma: “Lu Yàlla sellal, bu ko araamal.”

¹⁰And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹⁰ Loolu am ba muy ñetti yoon, ba noppi ñu ne cas lépp, jëme asamaan.

¹¹And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

¹¹ «Ca saa sa ñetti góor, ña ñu yebal ci man, jóge Sesare, agsi ca kër ga ma dal.

¹²And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

¹² Te Xel mi ne ma: “Àndal ak ñoom, te bu ci werante.” Juróom-benni bokk, yi fi teew, gunge woon nañu ma, ba nu dugg ca kër góor googu.

¹³And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

¹³ Mu nettali nu ne, gis na malaaka, feeñu ko ca këram ne ko: “Yónneel ca dëkku Yope, woolu Simoŋ, mi ñu dàkkentale Piyeer.

¹⁴Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

¹⁴ Dina la xamal ay wax yu lay musal, yaw ak sa waa kër gépp.”

¹⁵And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

¹⁵ «Bi ma tàmbalee wax nag, Xel mu Sell mi wàcc ci ñoom, ni mu wàcce woon ci nun bu jëkk.

¹⁶Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁶ Bi loolu amee ma fàttaliku li Boroom bi wax ne: “Yaxya ci ndox la daan sóobe, waaye yéen dees na leen sóob ci Xel mu Sell mi.”

¹⁷Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

¹⁷ Gannaaw nag Yàlla jagleel na leen may, gi mu nu mayoon, bi nu gëmee Yeesu Kirist Boroom bi, man maay kan, bay tebbi àtteb Yàlla?»

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

¹⁸ Bi ñu déggee loolu, amuñu dara lu ñu ca teg, ñu daldi màggal Yàlla ne: «Yàlla nag may na ñi dul Yawut it ñu tuub seeni bàkkaar, ba am dund gu wóor gi.»

¹⁹Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

¹⁹ Ñi tasoon nag ndax fitna, ji amoon gannaaw Ecen, ñu dem ba diiwaanu Fenisi, ci dunu Sipar ak ca dëkku Ancos, di wax kàddu gi, waaye yemale ko ci Yawut yi.

²⁰And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.

²⁰ Moona amoon na ci ñoom ay niti Sipar ak dëkku Siren, ñu ñëw ci Ancos, ba seen wax law ci Gereg yi it, ñu di leen xamal xebaar bu baax bu Yeesu Boroom bi.

²¹And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

²¹ Te loxob Boroom bi ànd ak ñoom, ba mbooloo mu mag gëm te woññiku ci Boroom bi.

²²Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

²² Ba mbir ma siiwee, ba àgg ci noppi mbooloom ñi gëm ci Yerusalem, ñu yebal Barnabas ba Ancos.

²³Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

²³ Bi mu agsee nag, ba gis yiw, wi leen Yàlla may, mu bég ci te di leen xiir, ñu wàkkirlu ci Boroom bi te dogu ci.

²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

²⁴ Ndaxte nit ku baax la woon te fees ak Xel mu Sell mi ak ngëm; noonu mbooloo mu bare dolliku ci Boroom bi.

²⁵Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

²⁵ Gannaaw loolu Barnabas dem ca dëkku Tars, di wut Sool.

²⁶And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

²⁶ Bi mu ko gisee, mu indi ko Ancos. Noonu atum lëmm ñu bokk ak mbooloom ñi gëm, di jàngal nit ñu bare. Te ci Ancos lañu jëkk a tudde taalibe ya Gaayi Kirist.

²⁷And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

²⁷ Ca fan yooyu ay yonent jóge Yerusalem, ñëw Ancos.

²⁸And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

²⁸ Kenn ci ñoom tudd Agabus jóg, mu yégle jaarale ko ci Xelu Yàlla mi ne, xiif bu metti dina daj àddina sépp. Loolu nag amoon na ca ayug buur bu ñuy wax Këlódd.

²⁹Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

²⁹ Kon taalibe ya fas yéenee sàkk ndimbal, jëme ca bokk ya dëkk diiwaanu Yude, ku nekk ak sa kem-kàttan.

³⁰Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁰ Noonu lañu def nag, teg ko ci loxoy Barnabas ak Sool, yónnee ko njiit ya.
