¹Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

¹Di tejmaɛt n temdint n Antyuc llan lenbiya d lɛulama : Barnabas, Semɛun ițusemman Aberkan, Lusyus n temdint n Qiṛwan, Manahen i d-ițțuṛebban d Hiṛudus Antibas, akk-d Caɛul.

²As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

²Yiwen wass atmaten nnejmaɛen iwakken ad uẓummen yerna ad dɛun ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi. Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen yenna-yasen-d : Swejdet-iyi-d Barnabas akk-d Caɛul i ccɣel-nni iwumi i ten-heggaɣ.

³Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

³Mi ẓummen, ssersen ifassen-nsen fell-asen, rnan dɛan ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi, dɣa ǧǧan-ten ad ṛuḥen.

⁴So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

⁴Barnabas akk-d Caɛul i gceggeɛ Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, ṣubben ɣer lmeṛṣa n Slukya ; syenna rekben di lbabuṛ ɣer tegzirt n Qubṛus.

⁵When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.

⁵Mi wwḍen ɣer lmeṛṣa n Salamin, beccṛen awal n Ṛebbi di leǧwameɛ n wat Isṛail ; Yuḥenna yella yid-sen, yețɛawan-iten.

⁶When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jesus,

⁶Mi zegren akk tigzirt-nni, wwḍen ɣer temdint n Bafus, mlalen-d d yiwen useḥḥar n wat Isṛail i gețțarran iman-is d nnbi, isem-is Barɛisa.

⁷who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

⁷Ițțili ɣer lḥakem Serjyus Bulus, yellan d argaz ifehmen. Serjyus iceggeɛ ɣer Barnabas d Caɛul, axaṭer yebɣa ad isel i wawal n Ṛebbi.

⁸But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

⁸Meɛna Ilimas aseḥḥar-nni, ( akkagi i gețwaṭerjem yisem-is s tyunanit ) yețxaṣam-iten, yețnadi ad isseɛṛeq abrid n liman i lḥakem-nni.

⁹But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

⁹Caɛul, ițusemman daɣen Bulus, yeččuṛen d Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, issers allen-is fell-as,

¹⁰and said, “Full of all deceit and all cunning, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

¹⁰yenna-yas : A mmi-s n Cciṭan yeččuṛen ț-țiḥila d lexdeɛ ! Ay aɛdaw n lḥeqq ! Ar melmi ara tesseɛwajeḍ akka iberdan n lewqam n Sidi Ṛebbi ?

¹¹Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

¹¹Tura atan ufus n Sidi Ṛebbi fell-ak : aț-țedderɣleḍ, aț-țeqqimeḍ kra n wussan ur tețwaliḍ ara tafat n yiṭij. Imiren kan, Ilimas idderɣel, yeɣli-d fell-as ṭṭlam ; yeqqim isferfud, ițnadi anwa ara s-yeṭṭfen afus.

¹²Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

¹²Lḥakem-nni mi gwala ayen yedṛan, itɛeǧǧeb deg wawal n Sidi Ṛebbi dɣa yumen.

¹³Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

¹³Bulus d yeṛfiqen-is zegren tigzirt n Qubṛus, wwḍen ɣer temdint n Bafus, syenna rekben di lbabuṛ iwakken ad zegren ɣer temdint n Barja yellan di tmurt n Bamfilya.

¹⁴But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁴Mi wwḍen ɣer dinna, Yuḥenna yeǧǧa-ten yuɣal ɣer temdint n Lquds ; ma d nutni kemmlen abrid-nsen si temdint n Barja, wwḍen ɣer temdint n Antyuc yellan di tmurt n Bisidya. Deg wass n westeɛfu, i deg țnejmaɛen wat Isṛail di leǧwameɛ, kecmen ɣer lǧameɛ, qqimen.

¹⁵After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

¹⁵Mi d-ɣṛan tiktabin n Sidna Musa akk-d Lenbiya, imeqqranen n lǧameɛ nni nnan-asen : Ay atmaten, ma yella tesɛam kra n wawal s wayes ara tenhum lɣaci-agi, ɛeddit-ed aț-țhedṛem !

¹⁶Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

¹⁶Bulus ikker-ed, iwehha-yasen s ufus-is, yenna : Ay at Isṛail ! A kunwi iḍuɛen Ṛebbi, ḥesset-iyi-d !

¹⁷The God of this people TR, NU add “Israel” chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

¹⁷Sidi Ṛebbi Illu n wat Isṛail, yextaṛ lejdud-nneɣ, yessefti-ten mi llan di tmurt n Maṣeṛ, yessufeɣ iten id s tezmert-is tameqqrant.

¹⁸For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

¹⁸Iḥuder-iten azal n ṛebɛin iseggasen deg unezṛuf n Sinay.

¹⁹When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred fifty years.

¹⁹Issenger sebɛa leǧnas di tmurt n Kenɛan, iwakken a sen-yefk tamurt-nni i lejdud-nneɣ.

²⁰After these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

²¹Dɣa ssutren i Sidi Ṛebbi a sen-d-yefk agellid ; yefka-yasen-d Caɛul, mmi-s n Qic n wedrum n Benyamin, yuɣal d agellid fell-asen azal n ṛebɛin iseggasen.

²¹Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

²²Lameɛna Sidi Ṛebbi yekkes leḥkum i Caɛul, yerra Sidna Dawed d agellid deg umkan-is. Atan wayen i d-yenna fell-as : Ufiɣ Dawed, mmi-s n Yassa, d argaz yellan akken i t-yebɣa wul-iw, ara ixedmen lebɣi-w.

²²When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

²³Tura, si dderya n Sidna Dawed i d-ifka Sidi Ṛebbi amsellek i wat Isṛail akken i t-id-yewɛed ; amsellek-agi d Ɛisa.

²³From this man’s seed, God has brought salvation TR, NU read “a Savior, Jesus” instead of “salvation” to Israel according to his promise,

²⁴Uqbel a d-yas Sidna Ɛisa, Yeḥya ibecceṛ țțuba s weɣḍas n waman i wegdud n wat Isṛail.

²⁴before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel. TR, NU read “to all the people of Israel” instead of “to Israel”

²⁵Uqbel a t-ṭṭfen ɣer lḥebs iwakken a t-nɣen, Yeḥya yenna i lɣaci : Nekk ur lliɣ ara d win akken i tɣilem ; lameɛna a d-yas deffir-i yiwen, ur uklaleɣ ara ad fsiɣ ula d lexyuḍ n warkasen-is.

²⁵As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁶Ay atmaten ! Ay arraw n Sidna Ibṛahim d wid akk ițțaggaden Sidi Ṛebbi ! I nukkni iwumi i d-ițțuceggeɛ wawal-agi n leslak.

²⁶Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

²⁷Axaṭer imezdaɣ n temdint n Lquds d imeqqranen-nsen, ur fhimen ara d acu-t Ɛisa-agi, ur fhimen ara daɣen imeslayen i d qqaṛen di tektabt n lenbiya mkul ass n westeɛfu ; lameɛna xedmen akken i gura di tira iqedsen, mi ḥekmen ɣef Sidna Ɛisa s lmut.

²⁷For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁸Ɣas akken ur s-d-ufin ara sebba s wayes ara ḥekmen fell-as s lmut, ssutren i Bilaṭus ad yefk lameṛ iwakken a t-semmṛen ɣef lluḥ.

²⁸Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

²⁹Mi gedṛa wayen akk ițwaketben fell-as, ṣubben-t-id seg umidag, rran-t ɣer uẓekka.

²⁹When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰Lameɛna Sidi Ṛebbi isseḥya-t-id si ger lmegtin.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead,

³¹Acḥal wussan nețța ițbeggin-ed iman-is i widak-nni i d-yeddan yid-es si tmurt n Jlili armi ț-țamdint n Lquds ; tura d nutni i d inigan-is zdat n yemdanen meṛṛa.

³¹and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

³²Daymi, nukkni tura newwi yawen-d lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ. Ayen akken i gewɛed Sidi Ṛebbi i lejdud nneɣ, yedṛa-d tura gar-aneɣ, nukkni yellan d dderya-nsen.

³²We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

³³Mi d-yesseḥya Sidi Ṛebbi Sidna Ɛisa, akken yura di Sabur wis-sin : Kečč d mmi, d nekk i k-id-yefkan ɣer ddunit ass-a !

³³that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’ Psalm 2:7

³⁴Ihi Sidi Ṛebbi isseḥya-t-id si ger lmegtin iwakken ur irekku ara, akken i t-id-yenna di tira iqedsen : Si Dawed ara wen-d-fkeɣ lbaṛakat yeṣfan, lbaṛakat n tideț i wen weɛdeɣ. +

³⁴“Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’ Isaiah 55:3

³⁵Yura daɣen : Ur tețțaǧǧaḍ ara ameɛzuz-ik ad yerku zdaxel n uẓekka .

³⁵Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’ Psalm 16:10

³⁶Di lweqt-is, Sidna Dawed yexdem lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi ; mi gemmut, yețwamḍel ger lejdud-is, tura lǧețța-s terka deg uẓekka.

³⁶For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

³⁷Lameɛna win i d-yesseḥya Sidi Ṛebbi, ur t-yeǧǧi ara ad yerku deg uẓekka.

³⁷But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

³⁸Ilaq ihi aț-țeẓrem ay atmaten, belli s yisem-is i wen-d-ițțubecceṛ leɛfu n ddnubat.

³⁸Be it known to you therefore, brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,

³⁹Kra n win yumnen yis, a s-țwasemmḥen ddnubat-is, ddnubat-nni i ɣef ur tezmirem ara aț-țețwasemmḥem s ccariɛa n Musa.

³⁹and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁰Ihi ɣuṛ-wat a d-yedṛu yid-wen wayen i d-nnan lenbiya :

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

⁴¹Ay imdanen yeččuṛen d zzux, iḥeqqṛen wiyaḍ, dehcet, tenfum syagi ! Axaṭer atan ad xedmeɣ di zzman-nwen yiwet lḥaǧa s wayes ur tețțamnem ara ma yella ḥkan awen-ț-id.

⁴¹‘Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’” Habakkuk 1:5

⁴²Mi kkren ad ffɣen si lǧameɛ, ḥellelen Bulus d Barnabas iwakken a d-uɣalen ass n ssebt i d-iteddun a d-rnun a d-mmeslayen ɣef wannect nni.

⁴²So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

⁴³Mi mfaṛaqen, aṭas n wat Isṛail akk-d wid i gkecmen ddin-nsen, tebɛen-d Bulus akk-d Barnabas i sen-ițmeslayen, i ten-inehhun ad ṭṭfen di ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi.

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.

⁴⁴Ass n westeɛfu nniḍen, qṛib tamdint meṛṛa i d-innejmaɛen iwakken ad slen i wawal n Ṛebbi.

⁴⁴The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁵Mi walan annect-nni n lɣaci, at Isṛail usmen, sseɛwajen s rregmat ayen i d-yeqqaṛ Bulus.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

⁴⁶Lameɛna Bulus d Barnabas nnan-asen ɛinani : I kunwi d imezwura iwumi ilaq ad ițțubecceṛ wawal n Sidi Ṛebbi, meɛna imi ur t-teqbilem ara, tḥusbem iman-nwen ur tuklalem ara tudert n dayem, ihi a nezzi ɣer wid ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail.

⁴⁶Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷Axaṭer atah wayen i d-yenna Sidi Ṛebbi : Sbeddeɣ-k aț-țiliḍ ț-țafat i leǧnas, aț-țessiwḍeḍ leslak alamma d ixfawen n ddunit.

⁴⁷For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’” Isaiah 49:6

⁴⁸Leǧnas ur nelli ara n wat Isṛail feṛḥen mi slan s wannect-agi, țḥemmiden awal n Ṛebbi ; wid akk yețțuheggan i tudert n dayem umnen.

⁴⁸As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

⁴⁹Awal n Sidi Ṛebbi yețțubecceṛ di mkul amkan n tmurt.

⁴⁹The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

⁵⁰Lameɛna at Isṛail sḥeṛcen imeqqranen n temdint akk-d d kra n tilawin timeṛkantiyin i gettabaɛen ddin n wat Isṛail ; sekkren-d aqehheṛ ameqqran ɣef Bulus d Barnabas, ssufɣen-ten si tmurt-nsen.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

⁵¹Bulus d Barnabas zwin aɣebbaṛ n iḍaṛṛen-nsen , ṛuḥen ɣer temdint n Ikunyum.

⁵¹But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

⁵²Ma d inelmaden ijdiden, ččuṛen d lfeṛḥ akk-d Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

⁵²The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
