¹Caɛul mazal ițqehhiṛ inelmaden n Sidna Ɛisa, ițgalla deg-sen a ten-ineɣ. Iṛuḥ ɣer lmuqeddem ameqqran,

¹But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest

²issuter-as a s-d-ixdem lkaɣeḍ ara yawi ɣer leǧwameɛ meṛṛa n temdint n Dimecq, iwakken ma yufa deg-sen wid ittabaɛen abrid n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, ama d argaz ama ț-țameṭṭut, a ten-id-yawi țwarzen ɣer temdint n Lquds.

²and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.

³Yella iteddu deg webrid, qṛib ad yaweḍ ɣer temdint n Dimecq. Taswiɛt kan, tekka-d yiwet n tafat seg igenni tfeǧǧeǧ-ed fell-as, tezzi yas-d.

³But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,

⁴Yeɣli ɣer lqaɛa, yesla i yiwen n ṣṣut i s-d-yeqqaṛen : Caɛul ! A Caɛul ! Acuɣeṛ i yi tețqehhiṛeḍ ?

⁴and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?

⁵Yenna-yas : Anwa-k a Sidi ? Sṣut-nni yerra-yas-d : D nekk i d Ɛisa, win akken i tețqehhiṛeḍ !

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], *I* am Jesus, whom *thou* persecutest.

⁶Kker fell-ak ! Ṛuḥ ɣer temdint n Dimecq, dinna ara k-d-inin acu ara txedmeḍ.

⁶But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁷Irgazen i geddan yid-es bedden, dehcen, ggugmen ; slan i taɣect-nni lameɛna ur walan ula d yiwen.

⁷But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.

⁸Caɛul ikker-ed si lqaɛa, ɣas akken ldint wallen-is, ur yețwali ara. Sṭfen-as afus, wwin-t ɣer temdint n Dimecq.

⁸And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they brought him into Damascus.

⁹Yeqqim tlata wussan ur iwala, ur ičči, ur yeswi. Caɛul yumen s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ

⁹And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.

¹⁰Di temdint n Dimecq, yella yiwen unelmad isem-is Ananyas ; Sidi Ṛebbi yessawel-as-d deg uweḥḥi, Ananyas yerra-yas : Aql-iyi a Sidi.

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.

¹¹Sidi Ṛebbi yenna-yas : Kker tṛuḥeḍ ɣer webrid ițusemman « Abrid ayeffus », ɣer wexxam n Yuda ; dinna steqsi ɣef yiwen wergaz isem-is Caɛul n temdint n Sars. Atan ideɛɛu ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi,

¹¹And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,

¹²yețwali deg uweḥḥi ikcem ɣuṛ-es yiwen wergaz isem-is Ananyas, yessers ifassen-is fell-as iwakken a t-id-yuɣal yeẓri.

¹²and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.

¹³Ananyas yerra-yas : A Sidi, acḥal n yemdanen i d yeḥkan fell-as ițqehhiṛ inelmaden-ik imqedsen di temdint n Lquds !

¹³And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;

¹⁴Yusa-d ɣer dagi daɣen s țțesriḥ n lmuqedmin imeqqranen iwakken ad yerr ɣer lḥebs wid akk ineddhen s yisem-ik.

¹⁴and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.

¹⁵Lameɛna Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yas : Ṛuḥ, axaṭer argaz-agi d nekk i t-yextaṛen iwakken ad ibecceṛ isem-iw i wat Isṛail, i leǧnas nniḍen akk-d igelliden-nsen.

¹⁵And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:

¹⁶Yerna a s ssekneɣ acḥal ara yeɛteb ɣef ddemma n yisem-iw.

¹⁶for *I* will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.

¹⁷Ananyas iṛuḥ ; mi gewweḍ ɣer wexxam-nni, yessers ifassen-is ɣef Caɛul yenna-yas : A Caɛul a gma, d Sidna Ɛisa-nni i k-d-iḍehṛen deg-webrid ansi i d-tusiḍ, i yi-d-iceggɛen iwakken a k-id-yuɣal yeẓri yerna aț-țeččaṛeḍ d Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

¹⁷And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁸Imiren kan ɣlin-d seg wallen-is am akken d iqecṛan, dɣa yuɣal-it-id yeẓri ; yekker, yețwaɣḍes.

¹⁸And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;

¹⁹Mi gečča, yuɣal-it-id lǧehd ; isɛedda kra wussan ɣer inelmaden i gellan di temdint n Dimecq.

¹⁹and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.

²⁰Ur iɛeṭṭel ara, yebda yețbecciṛ di leǧwameɛ n wat Isṛail belli Sidna Ɛisa d Mmi-s n Ṛebbi.

²⁰And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that *he* is the Son of God.

²¹Wid akk i s isellen, wehmen qqaṛen : Eɛni mačči d win akken i gețqehhiṛen di temdint n Lquds wid ineddhen s yisem-agi n Ɛisa ? Eɛni ur d-yusi ara ɣer dagi iwakken a ten-yawi țwarzen ɣer lmuqedmin imeqqranen ?

²¹And all who heard were astonished and said, Is not this *he* who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?

²²Lameɛna Caɛul simmal yețnerni di liman ; isseɛweq at Isṛail izedɣen di temdint n Dimecq mi sen-d-ițbeggin belli d Ɛisa i d Lmasiḥ.

²²But Saul increased the more in power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

²³Mi Ɛeddan kra wussan, at Isṛail mcawaṛen akken a t-nɣen ;

²³Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him.

²⁴lameɛna Caɛul yesla s txazabit i bɣan a s xedmen, am yiḍ am ass țɛassan ula ț-țiwura n temdint iwakken a t-nɣen.

²⁴But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him;

²⁵Yiwen yiḍ, inelmaden gren-t zdaxel n uqecwal, ṣubben-t-id si ṣṣuṛ i d-izzin i temdint.

²⁵but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

²⁶Mi i d-yusa ɣer temdint n Lquds, Caɛul inuda ɣef yinelmaden, lameɛna kukran-t akk axaṭer ur uminen ara belli yuɣal d anelmad n Sidna Ɛisa.

²⁶And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁷Dɣa Barnabas yewwi-t ɣer ṛṛusul, yeḥka-yasen amek i s-d-iban Sidna Ɛisa deg webrid, amek i s-d-ihḍeṛ d wamek i gbecceṛ s yisem n Sidna Ɛisa ɛinani mbla akukru di temdint n Dimecq.

²⁷But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁸Seg imiren yețṛuḥu yețțuɣal yid-sen di temdint n Lquds, yețbecciṛ ɛinani s yisem n Sidna Ɛisa.

²⁸And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem,

²⁹Iheddeṛ daɣen nețța d wat Isṛail i d-yusan si tmura i gețmeslayen tayunanit, yețțemjadal yid-sen, meɛna ula d nutni țqelliben a t-nɣen.

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him.

³⁰Mi slan watmaten s wannect-agi, srewlen-t ɣer temdint n Qiṣarya iwakken ad iṛuḥ syenna ɣer temdint n Sars.

³⁰And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.

³¹Tajmaɛt n watmaten yellan di tmura n Yahuda d Jlili akk-d Samarya tethenna, tețțimɣuṛ di liman, tețțeddu s tugdi n Sidi Ṛebbi, tețnerni s lemɛawna n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

³¹The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

³²Buṭrus i d-inudan tijmaɛin meṛṛa, iṛuḥ daɣen ɣer watmaten izedɣen di temdint n Lud.

³²Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.

³³Yufa dinna yiwen wergaz isem-is Inyas ; argaz-agi tmanya iseggasen nețța deg usu axaṭer ikref.

³³And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.

³⁴Yenṭeq ɣuṛ-es Buṭrus yenna-yas : Ay Inyas ! Ɛisa Lmasiḥ yesseḥla- k ! Kker fell-ak tekkseḍ usu-inek ! Imiren kan yekker.

³⁴And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.

³⁵Mi t-walan yeḥla, imezdaɣ akk n temdint n Lud d wid n uzaɣaṛ n tmurt n Sarun beddlen tikli, qeblen abrid n Sidna Ɛisa.

³⁵And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord.

³⁶Di temdint n Jafa, tella yiwet n tmeṭṭut isem-is Tabita ; tețseddiq, tețɛawan igellilen.

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.

³⁷Di lweqt-nni, yeɣli-d fell-as lehlak dɣa temmut. Ssarden-ț, ssersen-ț di tɣuṛfeț.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.

³⁸Mi slan inelmaden belli Buṭrus di temdint n Jafa i gella, yerna ț-țamdint ur nebɛid ara ɣef temdint n Lud, ceggɛen ɣuṛ-es sin yergazen iwakken a t-ḥellelen a d-yas ɣuṛ-sen s lemɣawla.

³⁸But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.

³⁹Buṭrus ikker yedda yid-sen imiren kan. Mi gewweḍ, ssulin-t ɣer tɣuṛfeț-nni. Tuǧǧal akk țrunt, zzint-as-d i Buṭrus, sseknent-as-d tiqendyaṛ d ibeṛnyas i tzeṭṭ Durka uqbel aț-țemmet.

³⁹And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

⁴⁰Buṭrus issufeɣ ɣer beṛṛa wid akk yellan dinna, yeqqim ɣef tgecrar, yedɛa ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi ; izzi ɣer lmegget-nni yenna-yas : Tabita, ekker ! Dɣa teldi-d allen-is, twala-d Buṭrus, imiren teqqim-ed.

⁴⁰But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.

⁴¹Buṭrus yefka-yas afus-is iskker-iț-id, dɣa issawel i inelmaden nni akk-d tuǧǧal, ufan-ț-id tedder.

⁴¹And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.

⁴²Imezdaɣ meṛṛa n temdint n Jafa slan s wayen yedṛan, daymi aṭas i gumnen s Sidna Ɛisa.

⁴²And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

⁴³Buṭrus yeqqim kra n wussan di temdint n Jafa, ɣer yiwen wergaz isem-is Semɛun, d axeddam deg uɣerruz ( aglim ).

⁴³And it came to pass that he remained many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
