1The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
1A Tawfilus, di tektabt-inu tamezwarut, ḥkiɣ-ed ayen ixdem Sidna Ɛisa d wayen yesselmed seg wass amezwaru armi d ass i deg yețwarfed ɣer igenni.
2until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
2Uqbel ad ițwarfed, yefka lumuṛat-is s Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i wid i gextaṛ ad ilin d ṛṛusul.
3To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
3Mi d-iḥya si ger lmegtin, i nutni daɣen iwumi i d-isban iman-is belli yedder ; ṛebɛin wussan nețța ițban asen-d yerna ițmeslay-asen-d ɣef wayen yeɛnan tagelda n Sidi Ṛebbi.
4Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
4Yiwen wass, mi gella itețț yid-sen, yefka-yasen lameṛ-agi : Ur țeffɣet ara si temdint n Lquds, lameɛna eṛǧut lemɛahda n Baba Ṛebbi, tin akken i wen-d nniɣ ;
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
5« Yeḥya isseɣḍas imdanen deg aman, ma d kunwi, di kra n wussan aț-țețwaɣeḍsem s Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.»
6Therefore when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
6Mi llan ṛṛusul nnejmaɛen yid-es, steqsan-t : A Sidi, deg ussan-agi ara d terreḍ tageldit i wegdud n wat Isṛail ?
7He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
7Yerra-yasen : Ur țnadit ara aț-țeẓrem ayen yeɛnan lewqat d wussan i ghegga Baba Ṛebbi s lḥekma-ines si zik, ayagi mačči d ccɣel-nwen.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
8Kunwi a wen-d-tețțunefk tezmert n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen ara d-yersen fell-awen, imiren aț-țilim d inigan-iw di temdint n Lquds, di tmurt n Yahuda ț-țmurt n Samarya, aț-țawḍem alamma d ixfawen n ddunit.
9When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
9Akken i d-yenna imeslayen-agi, Sidna Ɛisa yețwarfed ɣer igenni nutni țmuqulen deg-s armi i t-tɣumm tagut.
10While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
10Mazal ṛeṣṣan allen-nsen deg-s ɣer tegnaw, mi sen-d-dehṛen sin yergazen s llebsa tamellalt, nnan-asen :
11who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
11Ay imezdaɣ n tmurt n Jlili, acuɣeṛ mazal-ikkun tețmuqqulem ɣer tegnaw ? Akken i twalam Sidna Ɛisa yuli ɣer igenni, akken daɣen ara t-twalim asmi ara d-yuɣal.
12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
12Seg iɣil uzemmur, uɣalen ɣer temdint n Lquds ibeɛden azal n tikli n wass n westeɛfu.
13When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
13Mi wwḍen ɣer temdint n Lquds, ulin ɣer texxamt anda nnumen țnejmaɛen. Yella gar-asen Buṭrus, Yuḥenna, Yeɛqub, Andriyus, Filibas, Suma, Bartelmay, Matta, Yeɛqub mmi-s n Ḥalfi, Semɛun awaṭani akk-d Yahuda mmi-s n Yeɛqub.
14All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
14Țnejmaɛen s yiwen n ṛṛay iwakken ad deɛɛun ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi nutni d kra n tlawin, llan yid-sen daɣen watmaten n Sidna Ɛisa akk-d yemma-s, Meryem.
15In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
15Deg ussan-nni, llan nnejmaɛen azal n meyya uɛecrin n wayetmaten, yekker-ed Buṭrus gar-asen, yenna-d :
16“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
16Ay atmaten, ilaq a d-yedṛu wayen i d-yenna Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen si zik seg yimi n Sidna Dawed, ɣef wayen yeɛnan Yudas i d-yezwaren zdat n wid i geṭṭfen Sidna Ɛisa.
17For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
17Yudas-agi yella d yiwen seg neɣ, yerna ițekki di leqdic-nneɣ ɣef Sidi Ṛebbi.
18Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
18Argaz-agi yuɣ akal s yedrimen-nni n lexdeɛ, yuɣal yeɣli ɣef wudem, ifelleq uɛebbuḍ-is, mmaren-d akk ijuɣdan-is.
19It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
19Imezdaɣ n temdint n Lquds slan akk s wannect-agi, daymi i semman i wemkan-nni s tmeslayt-nsen : Ḥaqel damma , yeɛni iger n idammen.
20For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;’ Psalm 69:25 and, ‘Let another take his office.’ Psalm 109:8
20Am akken yura di tektabt n Sabur : Axxam-is ad yexlu, ur t-izeddeɣ yiwen. Yura daɣen : Wayeḍ ad yeṭṭef amkan-is.
21“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
21Ilaq-aɣ ihi a d-nextiṛ yiwen seg wid yellan yid-nneɣ mi nțeddu d Sidna Ɛisa di mkul amkan,
22beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
22seg wasmi i t-isseɣḍes Yeḥya aɣeṭṭas armi d ass i deg yețwarfed ɣer igenni ; iwakken ad yili am nukkni d inigi n ḥeggu-ines.
23They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
23Sbedden-d sin yergazen : Yusef yețțusemman Barsaba iwumi qqaṛen daɣen « Aḥeqqi » akk-d Matyas.
24They prayed, and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
24Dɛan ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi s imeslayen agi : A Sidi Ṛebbi, kečč yesnen ulawen n yemdanen meṛṛa, sbeggen aɣ-ed anwa deg-sen i gwulmen
25to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
25iwakken ad iṭṭef amkan di lecɣal n ṛṛusul i ɣef yeṭṭaxeṛ Yudas, imi nețța iṛuḥ ɣer wemkan i s-ilaqen.
26They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
26Gren tasɣaṛt, tṣaḥ-ed i Matyas ; dɣa rnan-t-id ɣer ḥdac-nni n ṛṛusul.
