¹Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

¹Bulus d Silas ɛeddan si temdinin n Anfibulis akk-d Abulunis, wwḍen ɣer temdint n Tiṣalunik anda sɛan wat Isṛail lǧameɛ.

²Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

²Akken yennum, Bulus yekcem ɣer lǧameɛ ; tlata smanat, mkul ass n westeɛfu, ițmeslay yid-sen ɣef wawal n Ṛebbi.

³explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

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.

⁴Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

⁴Kra deg-sen umnen ; aṭas n iyunaniyen iḍuɛen Sidi Ṛebbi d waṭas n tilawin n laṣel i geddan daɣen d Bulus akk-d Silas.

⁵But the unpersuaded Jews took along TR reads “And the Jews who were unpersuaded, becoming envious and taking along” instead of “But the unpersuaded Jews took along” some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

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.

⁶When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

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,

⁷whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

⁷Yazun isṭerḥeb yis-sen. Xulfen lumuṛ n Qayṣer, qqaṛen belli yella ugellid nniḍen ițusemman Ɛisa.

⁸The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

⁸S yimeslayen-agi, sḥeṛcen lɣaci akk-d lḥakem n temdint.

⁹When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

⁹Ugin a sen-serrḥen i Yazun d watmaten nniḍen armi xellṣen lexṭiya.

¹⁰The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

¹⁰Mi d-yewweḍ yiḍ, atmaten srewlen Bulus d Silas ɣer temdint n Biri. Mi wwḍen, kecmen ɣer lǧameɛ n wat Isṛail.

¹¹Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

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.

¹²Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

¹²Aṭas seg-sen i gumnen ; ger iyunaniyen, aṭas n tilawin n laṣel d yergazen nniḍen i gumnen daɣen.

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

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.

¹⁴Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

¹⁴Dɣa atmaten srewlen imiren Bulus ɣer lǧiha n lebḥeṛ, ma d Silas d Timuti qqimen di temdint n Biri.

¹⁵But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

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.

¹⁶Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

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.

¹⁷So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

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.

¹⁸Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also TR omits “also” were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

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.

¹⁹They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

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 ?

²⁰For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

²⁰Axaṭer nesla-yak tețmeslayeḍ-ed ɣef temsalin yessewhamen. Nebɣa a nissin lmeɛna-nsent.

²¹Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

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.

²²Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

²²Bulus ibedd di tlemmast n Laryufaj yenna : Ay irgazen n temdint n Atinya, ẓriɣ-kkun tẓewṛem yerna tettabaɛem ddin di mkul ḥaǧa;

²³For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.

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.

²⁴The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands,

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.

²⁵neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

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.

²⁶He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

²⁶Seg yiwen wemdan i d-ixleq akk leǧnas, yeɛmeṛ yis-sen ddunit ; yefka-yasen lewqat i tudert-nsen akk-d tilisa i tmura-nsen.

²⁷that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

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.

²⁸‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

²⁸Yis i nesɛa tudert, i nteddu, i nețțili ; d ayen i d-nnan daɣen kra seg imedyazen-nwen : « ula d nukkni, darraw-is ! »

²⁹Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

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.

³⁰The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

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.

³¹because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

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.

³²Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

³²Mi slan iheddeṛ-ed ɣef ḥeggu n lmegtin, kra țmesxiṛen, wiyaḍ qqaṛen-as : A k-nḥess ɣef wannect-agi tikkelt nniḍen...

³³Thus Paul went out from among them.

³³Imiren, Bulus iṛuḥ yeǧǧa-ten.

³⁴But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

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.
