Wolof: New Testament

Acts

20

1And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
1 Bi yengu-yengu ba dalee, Pool woo taalibe ya fa moom, dooleel leen. Bi mu ko defee mu tàggoo ak ñoom, jóge fa, dellu diiwaanu Maseduwan.
2And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
2 Noonu mu jaar ca bérab yooyu, di dooleel nit ñi ak wax yu bare; ba noppi mu dem réewu Geres,
3And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
3 toog fa ñetti weer. Waaye bi mu nekkee ci kaw tànki dugg gaal jëm diiwaanu Siri, te Yawut yi lalal ko pexe, mu fas yéenee dellu, jaare Maseduwan.
4And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
4 Booba nag ñii ñoo ànd ak moom: Sopater, doomu Pirus mi dëkk Bere; Aristàrk ak Segond, ñi dëkk Tesalonig; Gayus, mi dëkk Derbë, ak Timote; te it Tisig ak Torofim ñi dëkk Asi.
5These going before tarried for us at Troas.
5 Ñooñu nag jiitu, di nu nég dëkku Torowas.
6And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
6 Waaye naka nun, gannaaw màggalu Yawut, ga ñuy wax Mburu ya amul lawiir, nu dugg gaal ci Filib, def ci juróomi fan, fekksi leen Torowas, nu am fa juróom-ñaari fan.
7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
7 Ca bés bu jëkk ca ayu-bés ga, booloo nanu ngir damm mburu ma. Te Pool, mi bëggoon a dem ca ëllëg sa, di diisoo ak ñoom te waxtaanam law ba ci xaaju guddi.
8And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
8 Ca néeg bu kawe, ba nu booloo nag, amoon na fa làmp yu bare.
9And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
9 Noonu waxambaane wu tudd Ëtikus te toog ca palenteer ba, gëmmeentu bay jeyaxu. Bi Pool di gën a yaatal waxtaanam nag, nelaw daldi ko jàpp, mu xàwweekoo ca ñetteelu taax ma, daanu, ñu yékkati ko, fekk mu dee.
10And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
10 Waaye Pool wàcc, daldi sëgg ci kawam, roof ko loxoom ne leen: «Bàyyileen jooy yi, mu ngi dund.»
11When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
11 Noonu mu yéegaat, damm mburu ma, lekk; ba noppi delluwaat ci waxtaanam, di ko yaatal ba ca njël, door a tàggoo.
12And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
12 Naka waxambaane wa, ñu indi ko muy dund, ba seen xol sedd guyy.
13And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
13 Nun nag nu jiitu, dugg gaal jëm Asos, fa nu Pool santoon, nu jële ko fa; fekk moom fas na yéeney dox, ba agsi fa.
14And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
14 Noonu mu fekksi nu ci Asos, nu jël ko ca gaal ga, dem Mitilen.
15And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
15 Gannaaw loolu gaal ga jóge fa, nu agsi ca ëllëg sa janook dunu Kiyos. Bés ba ca tegu nag nu jàll ba Samos, te ñetteelu fan ba nu àgg Mile.
16For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
16 Ndaxte Pool fasoon na yéenee teggi Efes, ngir bañ a yàgg ci diiwaanu Asi; mu ngi doon gaawantu, ngir màggal, gi ñuy wax Pàntakot fekk ko Yerusalem.
17And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
17 Bi Pool eggee Mile nag, mu yónnee ca Efes, ngir woo njiiti mbooloom ñi gëm.
18And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
18 Bi ñu ñëwee, mu ne leen: «Yéen xam ngeen bu baax, ni ma doon doxale diirub sama ngan gépp ci seen biir, li dale ci bés bi ma jëkkee teg tànk ci Asi ba tey.
19Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
19 Jaamu naa Boroom bi ci woyof gu mat ak ay rangooñ, dékku ay nattu yu ma pexey Yawut yi indil.
20And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
20 Xam ngeen ne, musuma leen a nëbb dara lu leen di jariñ, di leen jàngal ci kanamu ñépp ak ca kër ya.
21Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Dénk naa Yawut yi ak Gereg yi ne leen, ñu tuub seeni bàkkaar, ba woññiku ci Yàlla te gëm sunu Boroom Yeesu.
22And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
22 «Léegi maa ngi nii di dem Yerusalem, ci li ma Xelu Yàlla mi xiirtal, te xawma lu ma fay dal.
23Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
23 Xam naa rekk ne, ci dëkkoo-dëkk Xel mu Sell mi xamal na ma ne, ay buum ak ay metit ñu ngi may nég.
24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
24 Waaye sama bakkan soxalu ma, su fekkee bey naa sama sas, ba matal liggéey, bi ma Boroom bi dénk, maanaam ma seedeel ci ñépp xebaar bu baax, bi ëmb yiwu Yàlla.
25And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
25 «Fi mu ne nag xam naa ne, dootuleen gis sama kanam, yéen ñépp ñi ma jaaroon ci seen biir, di yégle nguuru Yàlla.
26Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
26 Moo tax may dëggal tey jii ne, wàccoo naa ak yéen ñépp bés pénc.
27For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
27 Ndaxte ñeebluwuma leen, ci di leen xamal lépp li Yàlla digle.
28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
28 Wottuleen nag seen bopp te wottu coggal jépp, ji leen Xel mu Sell mi def sàmm, ngeen sàmm mbooloo, mi Yàlla jotal boppam ak deretu Doomam.
29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
29 Xam naa ne, bu ma leen wonee gannaaw, bukki yu soxor dinañu tàbbi ci coggal ji te duñu ci ñeeblu kenn.
30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
30 Ay nit dinañu jóg ci seen biir sax, di wax luy sànke, ngir sàkku ay taalibe.
31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
31 Foogleen nag, di fàttaliku ne diirub ñetti at, guddi ak bëccëg, musumaa noppi di leen artu kenn ku nekk ci yéen ak ay rangooñ.
32And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
32 «Léegi nag maa ngi leen di dénk Boroom bi, moom ak kàddug yiwam, gi leen man a dëgëral te may leen cér ci biir gaayi Yàlla yu sell yépp.
33I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
33 Nammuma xaalisu kenn mbaa wurusam mbaa koddaayam.
34Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
34 Xam ngeen ne, faj naa samay soxla ak soxlay ñi ànd ak man ci sama loxo yii.
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
35 Ci lépp won naa leen royukaay, ci li nu war a dimbali ñi néew doole te fàttaliku li Yeesu Boroom bi wax moom ci boppam ne: “Joxe moo gën a barkeel nangu.”»
36And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
36 Bi mu waxee loolu, mu sukk ak ñoom ñépp, ñaan ci Yàlla.
37And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
37 Te ñépp jooy bu metti, di laxasu ci baatu Pool, fóon ko bu baax.
38Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
38 Li leen gën a teg aw tiis mooy li mu leen wax: «Dootuleen gis sama kanam.» Noonu ñu gunge ko ba ca gaal ga.
