1Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
1 Amoon na ci mbooloom ñi gëm, mi nekk dëkku Ancos, ay yonent ak ay jàngalekat: maanaam Barnabas, Simeyon ku ñu dàkkentale Niseer, Lusiyus mi dëkk Siren, Manayen mi yaroondoo ak Erodd boroom diiwaan ba, ak Sool.
2And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
2 Am bés nag, bi ñuy jaamu Boroom bi ak di woor, Xel mu Sell mi ne: «Beral-leen ma Barnabas ak Sool ngir liggéey, bi ma leen wooye.»
3Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
3 Bi ñu ko déggee, ñu daldi woor ak a ñaan, teg leen ay loxo, ba noppi bàyyi leen ñu dem.
4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
4 Noonu Xel mu Sell mi yónni leen. Ñu dem nag ci dëkku Selusi, dugg fa gaal, jëm ci dun bu ñuy wax Sipar.
5And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
5 Bi ñu teeree ca dëkku Salamin nag, ñu yégle fa kàddug Yàlla ca jàngub Yawut ya. Ku tudd Yowaana ànd ak ñoom, di leen jàpple ci liggéey bi.
6And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;
6 Noonu ñu jaar ci dun bépp, ba egg dëkku Pafos. Foofa ñu gis luxuskat bu tudd Bar-Yeesu, di Yawut bu mbubboo turu yonent.
7who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
7 Mu bokk ci gàngooru boroom réew ma tudd Sersiyus Poolus, di nit ku neex xel. Moom nag mu woolu Barnabas ak Sool, ngir bëgg a dégg kàddug Yàlla.
8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
8 Waaye Elimas, boroom xam-xam bu ñuul bi --ndaxte loolu la turam di tekki — di leen dogale, ngir bañ boroom réew ma gëm.
9But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
9 Ci kaw loolu Sool, mi tudd it Pool, daldi fees ak Xel mu Sell mi; mu xool ko jàkk,
10and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
10 ne ko: «Yaw mi fees ak fen ak lu bon, di doomu Ibliis, tey noonu lépp lu jub, ndax doo bàyyee dëngal yoon yu jub yu Boroom bi?
11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
11 Léegi loxob Boroom bi dina dal sa kaw, te dinga gumba, ba dootuloo gis jant bi ab diir.» Ca saa sa nag ay bëtam muuru, mu daldi tàbbi cig lëndëm, muy làmbatu, di wut ku ko wommat.
12Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
12 Ba boroom réew ma gisee li xew nag, mu daldi gëm, di yéemu ci yoonu Boroom bi.
13Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
13 Naka noona Pool ak ñi mu àndal jóge Pafos, jaar ci géej, jëm dëkku Peers ci réewu Pamfili. Yowaana nag tàggoo ak ñoom, dellu Yerusalem.
14But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
14 Waaye ñoom ñu jóge Peers, aw ca yoon wa, ba ñëw dëkku Ancos ci diiwaanu Pisidi. Bésu noflaay ba nag ñu dugg ca jàngu ba, toog.
15And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
15 Bi ñu jàngee yoonu Musaa ak yonent ya, njiiti jàngu ba yónnee ca ñoom ne leen: «Bokk yi, bu ngeen amee lu ngeen di dénk mbooloo mi, waxleen ko.»
16And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:
16 Noonu Pool jóg, tàllal loxoom ne leen: «Yéen bokki Israyil ak yéen ñi ragal Yàlla, dégluleen!
17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
17 Yàllay bànni Israyil tànn na sunuy maam, di yokk xeet wa, bi ñuy ganeyaan ci Misra; ba noppi mu génne leen fa ak kàttanu loxoom.
18And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.
18 Diirub ñeent-fukki at mu di leen muñal ca màndiŋ ma.
19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
19 Gannaaw loolu faagal na juróom-ñaari xeet ci réewu Kanaan, ba sunuy maam donn réew ma.
20and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
20 Loolu lépp xew na ci diirub ñeenti téeméeri at ak juróom-fukk. «Gannaaw loolu mu jox leen ay àttekat, ba ci yonent Yàlla Samwil.
21And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.
21 Booba ñuy ñaan buur, te Yàlla jox leen Sóol, doomu Kis ci giiru Ben-yamin, muy seen buur diirub ñeent-fukki at. Gannaaw ga mu jële ko fa,
22And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who shall do all My will.
22 dellu falal leen buur bu tudd Daawuda, mu seedee ko nii: “Gis naa Daawuda, doomu Yese, ku ma neex ci sama xol, te dina def lépp luy sama coobare.”
23Of this man's seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
23 «Noonu ci askanam Yàlla indil na bànni Israyil Musalkat bi Yeesu, ci ni mu ko dige woon.
24when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
24 Laata muy ñëw nag, Yaxya daan na waare, ne bànni Israyil gépp, ñu tuub seeni bàkkaar, te mu sóob leen ci ndox.
25And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
25 Te ba Yaxyay jeexal sasam, mu ne: “Ku ngeen may teg? Duma Ki war a ñëw; waaye am na kuy ñëw sama gannaaw, koo xam ne kii yeyoowumaa tekki ay dàllam.”
26Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
26 «Bokk yi, yéen askanu Ibraayma ak yéen ñi ragal Yàlla, kàddug mucc gi ci nun la wàcc.
27For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
27 Waa Yerusalem ak seeni kilifa xàmmiwuñu woon Yeesu te xamuñu woon waxu yonent, yi ñuy jàng bésu noflaay bu nekk; teewul ñu amal waxu yonent yi, ci li ñu àtte Yeesu, ba daan ko.
28And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.
28 Yoon dabu ko fenn, moona ñaan nañu Pilaat, mu reylu ko.
29And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
29 Noonu ñu def lépp lu yonent yi bindoon ci mbiram, ba noppi ñu wàcce ko ca bant ba, tàbbal ko ci bàmmeel.
30But God raised him from the dead:
30 Waaye Yàlla dekkal na ko,
31and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
31 te diirub ay fan yu bare feeñu na ñi àndoon ak moom, jóge diiwaanu Galile, dem Yerusalem; léegi nag ñooy ay seedeem ci wetu xeet wi,
32And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,
32 te nu ngi leen di xamal xebaar bu baax ne leen, li Yàlla digoon sunuy maam,
33that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
33 def na ko ngir nun seeni sët, ci li mu dekkal Yeesu. Moom lañu bindoon ci ñaareelu saaru Sabóor ne:“Yaa di sama Doom,maa di sa Baay tey.”
34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
34 Te it li ko Yàlla dekkal, ba mu bañatee jaar ci dee, te suuf du ko lekk mukk, moom la Yàlla wax ne:“Dinaa la may barke yu sell te wóor,yi ma digoon Daawuda.”
35Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give Thy Holy One to see corruption.
35 Moo tax mu waxaat feneen ne:“Doo bàyyi sa Waa ju sell, mu yàqu.”
36For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
36 Ndaxte bi Daawuda defee coobareg Yàlla ci jamonoom, mu faatu, ñu suul ko, mu fekki ay maamam, suuf lekk ko.
37but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
37 Waaye Ki Yàlla dekkal, yaramam seeyul.
38Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
38 «Kon nag bokk yi, nangeen xam ne, ci moom Yeesu nu ngi leen di yégal mbaalug bàkkaar yi. Te fépp fu yoonu Musaa tële woon a àttee nit ni ku jub,
39and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
39 fa la Yeesu di àttee ni ku jub képp ku ko gëm.
40Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you] which is spoken in the prophets:
40 Wottuleen nag ba li yonent yi bindoon bañ leen a dal, ci li ñu ne:
41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
41 “Yéen ñiy xeebaate, gis leen lii,ngeen yéemu ba far;ndaxte dinaa def ci seen jamono jëf,joo xam ne su ngeen ko déggee sax,dungeen ko gëm.”»
42And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
42 Bi ñuy génn nag ca jàngu ba, Yawut ya ñaan leen, ñu baamtu wax ja ca bésu noflaay ba ca tegu.
43Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
43 Te bi mbooloo ma tasee, ay Yawut yu bare ak ñi tuuboon ci yoonu Yawut te ragal Yàlla, topp ci Pool ak Barnabas. Ñuy diisoo ak ñoom, di leen xiir, ñu wàkkirlu ci yiwu Yàlla.
44And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
44 Noonu bésu noflaay ba ca tegu, daanaka waa dëkk bépp daje, ngir déglu kàddug Yàlla.
45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
45 Waaye bi Yawut yi gisee mbooloo ma, ñu daldi fees ak kiñaan, di weddi li Pool di wax te di ko xas.
46And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
46 Bi loolu amee Pool ak Barnabas ne leen ci lu bir: «Yéen lanu war a jëkk a yégal kàddug Yàlla, waaye gannaaw gàntu ngeen ko, ba àtte seen bopp ne, yeyoowuleen dund gu dul jeex gi, kon nu ngi woññiku ci ñi dul Yawut.
47For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.
47 Ndaxte moom la nu Boroom bi sant ci li mu naan:“Samp naa la, nga nekk leeru ñi dul Yawut,ngir nga yóbbu mucc gi, mu daj cati àddina.”»
48And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
48 Ñi dul Yawut nag, bi ñu déggee loolu, daldi bég tey màggal kàddug Boroom bi; te ñépp ñu jagoo dund gu dul jeex daldi gëm.
49And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.
49 Noonu kàddug Boroom bi di law ci diiwaan bépp.
50But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
50 Waaye Yawut ya xiir ay jigéen, ñi woomle te farlu ci diine, ñoom ak magi dëkk ba, ñu fitnaal Pool ak Barnabas, ngir génne leen réew ma.
51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
51 Waaye Pool ak Barnabas daldi yëlëb seen pëndu tànk, ngir dëggal seen weddi, jëm dëkku Ikoñum.
52And the disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
52 Naka taalibe yi nag, ñu fees ak mbég ak Xel mu Sell mi.
