1And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea and Samaria except the apostles.
2Kra yergazen iḍuɛen Sidi Ṛebbi, wwin-d Stifan meḍlen-t, ḥeznen aṭas, țrun fell-as.
2And pious men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.
3Ma d Caɛul ixeddem akk lmejhud-is iwakken ad ihudd tajmaɛt n wid yumnen s Sidna Ɛisa ; issufuɣ ed seg ixxamen-nsen, irgazen ț-țilawin yumnen s Lmasiḥ, issekcam iten ɣer lḥebs.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into the houses one after another, and dragging off both men and women delivered them up to prison.
4Ihi wid akk i grewlen, mfaṛaqen, țṛuḥun seg wemkan ɣer wayeḍ, țbecciṛen lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n wawal n Sidi Ṛebbi.
4Those then that had been scattered went through [the countries] announcing the glad tidings of the word.
5Filbas iṣubb ɣer temdint n Samarya, ibecceṛ dinna lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yeɛnan Lmasiḥ.
5And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them;
6Lɣaci meṛṛa rran ddehn-nsen ɣer Filbas, mi slan i wayen i d-yeqqaṛ yerna walan lbeṛhanat i gxeddem ;
6and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard [him] and saw the signs which he wrought.
7axaṭer leǧnun țeffɣen s leɛyaḍ seg waṭas n yemdanen ițțumelken, aṭas daɣen n iquḍaṛen akk-d wid ikerfen i geḥlan.
7For from many who had unclean spirits they went out, crying with a loud voice; and many that were paralysed and lame were healed.
8Dɣa imezdaɣ n temdint-nni meṛṛa feṛḥen mačči d kra.
8And there was great joy in that city.
9Yuɣ lḥal di temdint-nni yella yiwen wergaz isem-is Semɛun, issewham imezdaɣ n tmurt n Samarya s ssḥur i gxeddem ; iḥețțeb iman-is d win yesɛan tazmert.
9But a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great one.
10Imdanen akk am umeẓyan am umeqqran, țțaran ddehn-nsen ɣuṛ-es qqaṛen : « Argaz-agi ț-țazmert n Ṛebbi s yiman-is ; ț-țazmert-nni iwumi neqqaṛ tazmert yessewhamen ! »
10To whom they had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the power of God which is called great.
11Țțamnen yis axaṭer si zik i ten-issewham s ssḥur i gxeddem ;
11And they gave heed to him, because that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts.
12lameɛna, asmi umnen s wayen i sen-ibecceṛ Filbas ɣef wayen yeɛnan tagelda n Sidi Ṛebbi d yisem n Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, usan-d akk ad țwaɣeḍsen deg waman am yergazen am tlawin.
12But when they believed Philip announcing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women.
13Semɛun s yiman-is yumen ; ula d nețța yețwaɣḍes deg waman, seg wass-nni ur yettixiṛ ara ɣef Filbas ; ițțawham deg-s mi gețwali leɛǧayeb d lbeṛhanat timeqqranin i gxeddem.
13And Simon also himself believed; and, having been baptised, continued constantly with Philip; and, beholding the signs and great works of power which took place, was astonished.
14Mi slan belli lɣaci n tmurt n Samarya qeblen awal n Sidi Ṛebbi, ṛṛusul yeqqimen di temdint n Lquds ceggɛen-asen Buṭrus d Yuḥenna.
14And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John;
15Mi wwḍen ɣuṛ-sen, dɛan fell asen ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken a sen-d-yefk Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen ;
15who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive [the] Holy Spirit;
16axaṭer mazal ur d-iris ula ɣef yiwen deg-sen, țwaɣeḍsen kan deg aman s yisem n Sidna Ɛisa.
16for he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Buṭrus akk-d Yuḥenna ssersen ifassen-nsen fell-asen, dɣa yețțunefk asen-d Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.
17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received [the] Holy Spirit.
18Mi gwala Semɛun yețțunefk-ed Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i lɣaci imi ssersen ṛṛusul ifassen-nsen fell-asen, yewwi-yasen-d idrimen yenna-yasen :
18But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the [Holy] Spirit was given, offered them money,
19Ffket-iyi ula d nekk tazmert agi iwakken kra n win i ɣef ara sserseɣ ifassen-iw, a t-ikcem Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.
19saying, Give to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay hands he may receive [the] Holy Spirit.
20Lameɛna Buṭrus yenna-yas : Ad negren yedrimen-ik ad glun yis-ek imi tɣileḍ Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen n Sidi Ṛebbi yețnuzu s idrimen !
20And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by money.
21Ul-ik ur yeṣfi ara ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi ! Ur k-id-iṣaḥ umur, ur tesɛiḍ lweṛt di ccɣel-agi.
21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not upright before God.
22Endem di yir ṛṛay-ik, tedɛuḍ ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken ma yella wamek, a k-yeɛfu ɣef yir axemmem-agi i d-yeffɣen seg ul-ik !
22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee;
23Atan walaɣ teččuṛeḍ d ddɣel, imlek-ik lbaṭel !
23for I see thee to be in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness.
24Semɛun yerra-yasen : Dɛut kunwi s yiman-nwen fell-i ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken ur d-ideṛṛu ara yid-i wayen akka i d-tennam.
24And Simon answering said, Supplicate *ye* for me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of the things of which ye have spoken.
25Buṭrus d Yuḥenna kemmlen cehden ɣef Sidna Ɛisa, beccṛen awal n Sidi Ṛebbi, mbeɛd uɣalen ɣer temdint n Lquds. Deg webrid-nsen, țbecciṛen lexbaṛ n lxiṛ deg waṭas n tudrin n tmurt n Samarya.
25They therefore, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and announced the glad tidings to many villages of the Samaritans.
26Yiwen lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi inṭeq-ed ɣer Filbas yenna-yas : Kker, ṛuḥ ɣer lǧiha n usammer, ɛeddi seg webrid-nni yexlan i gețṣubbun si temdint n Lquds ɣer tmurt n Ɣaza.
26But [the] angel of [the] Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go southward on the way which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza: the same is desert.
27Ikker, iṛuḥ. Immuger-ed deg webrid yiwen n wergaz, d aneɣlaf n Kendyas tagellit n tmurt n Ityubya ; d nețța i d lewkil ɣef lmelk-is meṛṛa , lameɛna d argaz ur nesɛi ddunit ; yusa-d ɣer temdint n Lquds iwakken ad iɛbed Sidi Ṛebbi.
27And he rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem,
28Mi gțeddu ɣef tkeṛṛust-is iwakken ad yuɣal ɣer wexxam-is, yufa-t-id lḥal yeqqaṛ di tektabt n nnbi Iceɛya.
28was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.
29Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen yenna i Filbas : Ṛuḥ qeṛṛeb ɣer tkeṛṛust-ihina.
29And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.
30Filbas yuzzel ɣuṛ-es, yesla i uneɣlaf-nni n tmurt n Ityubya yeqqaṛ di tektabt n nnbi Iceɛya. Yenna-yas : Tfehmeḍ ayen akka i teqqaṛeḍ ?
30And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of?
31Yerra-yas : Amek ara fehmeɣ ma ulac win ara yi-d-isfehmen ? Dɣa yesserkeb-ed Filbas ɣer tama-s.
31And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
32Atah wayen akken yella yeqqaṛ di tektabt-nni : Am izimer m'ara t-awin a t-zlun, am tixsi iggugmen zdat win i ț-ițellsen, ur d-yeldi imi-is.
32And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth.
33Yețwaḥqeṛ, ițwačč lḥeqq-is ! Anwa ara d-yeḥkun ɣef wayen yedṛan di lǧil-ines ? Anwa ara d-yeḥkun ɣef tudert-is yețwakksen si ddunit ?
33In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34Aneɣlaf-nni yenna-yas i Filbas : Di leɛnaya-k ssefhem-iyi-d ɣef wanwa i d-ițmeslay nnbi-yagi, ɣef yiman-is neɣ ɣef wayeḍ ?
34And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other?
35Dɣa Filbas s wawal-agi i gebda a s-ițbecciṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yeɛnan Sidna Ɛisa.
35And Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him.
36Mi teddun deg webrid-nsen, wwḍen ɣer yiwen wemkan i deg llan waman. Aneɣlaf-nni yenna-yas : Atnan waman ! D acu ara yi-d iḥebsen iwakken ad țwaɣedṣeɣ ?
36And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised?
37Filbas yenna-yas : Ma tumneḍ seg ul-ik, tzemreḍ aț-tețwaɣeḍseḍ. Aneɣlaf-nni yerra-yas : Umneɣ belli Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ d Mmi-s n Ṛebbi.
38And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him.
38Imiren yumeṛ ad ḥebsen takeṛṛust-is. Filbas d uneɣlaf-nni rsen-d, kecmen i sin ɣer waman, dɣa Filbas isseɣḍes-it.
39But when they came up out of the water [the] Spirit of [the] Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer, for he went on his way rejoicing.
39Mi d-ffɣen seg waman, Ṛṛuḥ n Sidi Ṛebbi yerfed Filbas, yexfa ger wallen uneɣlaf-nni. Aneɣlaf-nni ikemmel abrid-is s lfeṛḥ ;
40And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea.
40ma d Filbas yufa-d iman-is di temdint n Acdud ; syenna ikemmel abrid-is, ițeddu ițbecciṛ awal n tudert di tudrin meṛṛa i ɣef iɛedda, armi i gewweḍ ɣer temdint n Qiṣarya.
