1Bulus d Silas ɛeddan si temdinin n Anfibulis akk-d Abulunis, wwḍen ɣer temdint n Tiṣalunik anda sɛan wat Isṛail lǧameɛ.
1And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
2Akken yennum, Bulus yekcem ɣer lǧameɛ ; tlata smanat, mkul ass n westeɛfu, ițmeslay yid-sen ɣef wawal n Ṛebbi.
2And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,
3Issefham-asen, ițbeggin-asen-d di Tira belli Lmasiḥ ilaq ad yeɛteb yerna a d-yeḥyu si ger lmegtin, iqqaṛ-asen : Ɛisa-yagi ɣef i wen-d-hedṛeɣ, d nețța i d Lmasiḥ.
3opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom *I* announce to you.
4Kra deg-sen umnen ; aṭas n iyunaniyen iḍuɛen Sidi Ṛebbi d waṭas n tilawin n laṣel i geddan daɣen d Bulus akk-d Silas.
4And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5Lameɛna at Isṛail usmen, dɣa wwin yid-sen kra n yergazen n diri ițmenṭaṛen deg iberdan, sekkren ccwal ger lɣaci, cewwlen tamdint meṛṛa, zeḍmen ɣer wexxam n Yazun, qellben ɣef Bulus d Silas iwakken a ten-caṛɛen zdat lɣaci.
5But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to [themselves] certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people;
6Imi ur ten-ufin ara, zuɣṛen-d Yazun d kra n watmaten ɣer lḥukkam n temdint, bdan țɛeggiḍen : D irgazen-agi i gerwin ddunit, atan usan-d armi d ɣuṛ-nneɣ,
6and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These [men] that have set the world in tumult, are come here also,
7Yazun isṭerḥeb yis-sen. Xulfen lumuṛ n Qayṣer, qqaṛen belli yella ugellid nniḍen ițusemman Ɛisa.
7whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.
8S yimeslayen-agi, sḥeṛcen lɣaci akk-d lḥakem n temdint.
8And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
9Ugin a sen-serrḥen i Yazun d watmaten nniḍen armi xellṣen lexṭiya.
9And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10Mi d-yewweḍ yiḍ, atmaten srewlen Bulus d Silas ɣer temdint n Biri. Mi wwḍen, kecmen ɣer lǧameɛ n wat Isṛail.
10But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.
11Lɣaci n dinna sṭerḥben yis-sen axiṛ n wid n temdint n Tiṣalunik , qeblen awal n Ṛebbi s wul yeṣfan. Kull ass țnadin di Tira iqedsen iwakken ad walin ma yella ț-țideț, yella di tira wayen i d-qqaṛen.
11And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.
12Aṭas seg-sen i gumnen ; ger iyunaniyen, aṭas n tilawin n laṣel d yergazen nniḍen i gumnen daɣen.
12Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
13Lameɛna mi slan wat Isṛail n Tiṣalunik belli Bulus ițbecciṛ awal n Ṛebbi di temdint n Biri, uzzlen-d ad rwin lɣaci, a ten-cewwlen.
13But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.
14Dɣa atmaten srewlen imiren Bulus ɣer lǧiha n lebḥeṛ, ma d Silas d Timuti qqimen di temdint n Biri.
14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
15Widak yewwin Bulus, ssawḍen-t armi ț-țamdint n Atinya, syenna uɣalen-d ɣer temdint n Biri. Iweṣṣa-ten Bulus ad inin i Silas d Timuti, ur țɛeṭṭilen ara a t-leḥqen.
15But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
16M'akken i gețṛaǧu Silas akk-d Timuti di temdint n Atinya, Bulus iɣaḍ-it lḥal mi gwala tamdint-nni teččuṛ d lmeṣnuɛat i țɛebbiden imezdaɣ-is.
16But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.
17Di lǧameɛ, yebda ițmeslay d wat Isṛail akk-d iyunaniyen iḍuɛen Sidi Ṛebbi. Ițmeslay daɣen akk-d wid i d-ițemlili kull ass di tejmaɛt n temdint.
17He reasoned therefore in the synagogue with the Jews, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every day with those he met with.
18Kra n lɛulama yețfelsifen, yeɛni wid ițekkin di tejmaɛt n Ibikur akk-d Stuwis, bdan țmeslayen yid-es. Kra qqaṛen : D acu i gebɣa ad yini bu lehduṛ agi ? Wiyaḍ qqaṛen : Waqila yețbecciṛ iṛebbiten ibeṛṛaniyen ! Axaṭer Bulus yella ițbecciṛ-asen ɣef Sidna Ɛisa akk-d ḥeggu n lmegtin.
18But some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some said, What would this chatterer say? and some, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons, because he announced the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection [to them].
19Dɣa wwin-t yid-sen ɣeryiwen wemkan n ccṛeɛ n temdint-nni iwumi qqaṛen Laryufaj, nnan-as : Nezmer a nẓer d acu-t uselmed agi ajdid i ɣ-d-tewwiḍ ?
19And having taken hold on him they brought [him] to Areopagus, saying, Might we know what this new doctrine which is spoken by thee [is]?
20Axaṭer nesla-yak tețmeslayeḍ-ed ɣef temsalin yessewhamen. Nebɣa a nissin lmeɛna-nsent.
20For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
21Imezdaɣ n temdint n Atinya akk-d ibeṛṛaniyen i gzedɣen dinna, ḥemmlen ad sɛeddin lweqt-nsen anagar deg umeslay d usmeḥses i lexbaṛat ijdiden i d-ițeffɣen.
21Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
22Bulus ibedd di tlemmast n Laryufaj yenna : Ay irgazen n temdint n Atinya, ẓriɣ-kkun tẓewṛem yerna tettabaɛem ddin di mkul ḥaǧa;
22And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
23axaṭer ḥewwseɣ akk tamdint-nwen, walaɣ lmeṣnuɛat akk i tɛebdem ; ufiɣ daɣen yiwen n idebder anda yura : « I Ṛebbi-nni ur nețwassen ara. » Win akken i tɛebbdem mbla ma tessnem-t, d nețța i wen-țbecciṛeɣ.
23for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing [him], him I announce to you.
24D nețța i d-ixelqen ddunit d wayen yellan deg-s, d Bab igenwan d lqaɛa, ur yezdiɣ ara di leǧwameɛ i bnan ifassen n yemdanen.
24The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, *he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
25Ur yeḥwaǧ ara ad xedmen fell-as yemdanen am akken yella wayen i t-ixuṣṣen, nețța i d-ițțaken i yemdanen meṛṛa tudert, ṛṛuḥ d wayen akk yellan.
25nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
26Seg yiwen wemdan i d-ixleq akk leǧnas, yeɛmeṛ yis-sen ddunit ; yefka-yasen lewqat i tudert-nsen akk-d tilisa i tmura-nsen.
26and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,
27Sidi Ṛebbi ixdem annect-agi meṛṛa iwakken ad nadin fell-as ; ahat a t-afen s usferfed, nețța ur nebɛid ara ɣef mkul yiwen deg-nneɣ.
27that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:
28Yis i nesɛa tudert, i nteddu, i nețțili ; d ayen i d-nnan daɣen kra seg imedyazen-nwen : « ula d nukkni, darraw-is ! »
28for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
29Ihi imi nella d arraw n Sidi Ṛebbi, ur ilaq ara a nɣil belli Ṛebbi yețțemcabi ɣer lmeṣnuɛ n ddheb, neɣ n lfeṭṭa, neɣ n wezṛu yețwanejṛen s ufus ț-țmusni n wemdan.
29Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man's art and imagination.
30Sidi Ṛebbi isemmeḥ-asen i yemdanen asmi akken ur t-ssinen ara; tura issawel-asen-d akk di mkul amkan iwakken ad beddlen tikli, a d-uɣalen ɣuṛ-es.
30God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
31Axaṭer yextaṛ ass i deg ara iḥaseb imdanen s lḥeqq, s wemdan i gextaṛ yerna yefka-yaɣ-d akk țțbut mi t-id-isseḥya si ger lmegtin.
31because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.
32Mi slan iheddeṛ-ed ɣef ḥeggu n lmegtin, kra țmesxiṛen, wiyaḍ qqaṛen-as : A k-nḥess ɣef wannect-agi tikkelt nniḍen...
32And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
33Imiren, Bulus iṛuḥ yeǧǧa-ten.
33Thus Paul went out of their midst.
34Ɣas akken aṭas i gețmesxiṛen, llan kra deg-sen umnen, ddan yid-es . Yella gar-asen Dunisus i gțekkin di tejmaɛt n Laryufaj, yiwet n tmeṭṭut isem-is Damaris akk-d wiyaḍ.
34But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
