¹Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

¹Ass n Lɛid n wass wis xemsin, inelmaden llan nnejmaɛen akk deg yiwen n wemkan.

²Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

²Taswiɛt kan, yekka-d yiwen n lḥess ameqqran seg igenni am waḍu iǧehden, yeččuṛ akk axxam-nni anda qqimen.

³Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

³Sehṛen-asen-d am akken d ilsawen n tmes ițemfaṛaqen wway gar-asen, rsen-d ɣef yal yiwen deg sen.

⁴They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

⁴Sčuṛen akk s Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, bdan țmeslayen s tutlayin nniḍen, yal yiwen seg-sen iheddeṛ s tutlayt i s-d-yefka Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

⁵Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

⁵Deg ussan-nni, di temdint n Lquds, llan yemdanen n wat Isṛail yețḍuɛun Sidi Ṛebbi, i d-yusan si mkul tamurt n ddunit.

⁶When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

⁶Mi slan i lḥess-nni, lɣaci uzzlen d meṛṛa ; dehcen, axaṭer sellen-asen țmeslayen-d s tutlayt n tmurt i deg țɛicin.

⁷They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

⁷Wehmen, țɛeǧben, qqaṛen wway gar-asen : Imdanen-agi yețmeslayen mačči n tmurt n Jlili ?

¹²They were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, “What does this mean?”

¹²Dehcen akk, ur ẓrin d acu ara xemmemen, qqaṛen wway gar-asen : D acu-t wayagi ?

¹³Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

¹³Ma d wiyaḍ stehzayen fell-asen qqaṛen : D askaṛ i sekkṛen !

¹⁴But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

¹⁴Buṭrus yellan akk-d ḥdac n ṛṛusul-nni, issaɛli taɣect-is yenna i lɣaci : Ay imezdaɣ n temdint n Lquds akk-d kunwi meṛṛa isɛeddayen ussan di temdint-agi, slet-ed mliḥ i wayen ara wen-d-iniɣ, ilaq aț-țeẓrem ayagi :

¹⁶But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

¹⁶Lameɛna ayagi yedṛan d ayen i d-icar nnbi Yuwil :

¹⁷‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

¹⁷Sidi Ṛebbi yenna-d : Deg ussan ineggura a d-sserseɣ Ṛṛuḥ-iw ɣef yemdanen meṛṛa ; arrac-nwen d yessi-twen a d-țcirin ayen ara sen-d-țxebbiṛeɣ, ilmeẓyen-nwen a sen-d-țweḥḥiɣ, imɣaṛen-nwen a sen-d-mmeslayeɣ di tirga.

¹⁸Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

¹⁸Anɛam, deg ussan-nni a d-smireɣ Ṛṛuḥ-iw ɣef yiqeddacen-iw ț-țqeddacin-iw, a d-ciren s wayen ara sen-d-țxebbiṛeɣ.

¹⁹I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.

¹⁹Deg igenni ad xedmeɣ leɛǧayeb, di lqaɛa a d-sekneɣ licaṛat yessewhamen : idammen, times d usigna n ddexxan.

²⁰The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

²⁰Iṭij ad yuɣal d ṭṭlam, aggur ad yuɣal am idammen uqbel a d-yas wass n Sidi Ṛebbi ; ass-nni d ass ameqqran, yeččuṛen d lɛaḍima.

²¹It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Joel 2:28-32

²¹Imiren kra n win ineddhen s yisem n Sidi Ṛebbi ad ițțusellek.

²²“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

²²Ay imdanen n wat Isṛail, ḥesset-ed mliḥ i wayen ara wen-d iniɣ : ɣef wayen yeɛnan Ɛisa anaṣari, teẓram akk belli Sidi Ṛebbi isbeggen ed tazmert-is mi gexdem zdat-wen lbeṛhanat, licaṛat d leɛǧubat, am akken i teẓram s yiman-nwen.

²³him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

²³Akken yella si zik di leqsed n Sidi Ṛebbi ; argaz-agi tezzenzem-t, d kunwi i t-yenɣan mi t-tsellmem ger ifassen n ikafriwen i t-isemmṛen ɣef lluḥ.

²⁴whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

²⁴Lameɛna Sidi Ṛebbi yesseḥya t-id, isellek-it-id si tesraft n lmut axaṭer d lmuḥal a t-teṭṭef ɣuṛ-es.

²⁵For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

²⁵Sidna Dawed yenna-d fell-as : Țwaliɣ kull ass Sidi Ṛebbi zdat-i axaṭer yețțili ɣer uyeffus-iw iwakken ur ɣelliɣ ara ;

²⁶Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

²⁶daymi i gefṛeḥ wul-iw, i tcennu taɣect-iw ; ula d iɣsan-iw ad ṛtiḥen di laman ;

²⁷because you will not leave my soul in Hades or, Hell , neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.

²⁷axaṭer ur iyi-tețțaǧǧaḍ ara di laxeṛt,ur tețțaǧaḍ ara win i k-iḍuɛen ad yerku deg uẓekka.

²⁸You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’ Psalm 16:8-11

²⁸Teldiḍ-iyi iberdan n tudert ; ul-iw yeččuṛ d lfeṛḥ imi tețțiliḍ yid-i.

²⁹“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

²⁹Ay atmaten ilaq-iyi a wen d-mmeslayeɣ ɛinani ɣef tideț yeɛnan jeddi-tneɣ Sidna Dawed. Teẓram belli yemmut, yețwamḍel, yerna aẓekka ines mazal-it ar ass-a gar-aneɣ.

³⁰Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,

³⁰Lameɛna imi d nnbi i gella, yeẓra belli Sidi Ṛebbi ad iṭṭef di lemɛahda i s-d-yefka mi s-d-yenna : D yiwen si tarwa-k ara sbeddeɣ d agellid deg wemkan-ik.

³¹he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades or, Hell , nor did his flesh see decay.

³¹Ɣef ḥeggu n Lmasiḥ i d-icar mi d-yenna lehduṛ-agi ; axaṭer ț-țideț, ur t-yeǧǧi di laxeṛt, ur t-yeǧǧi ad yerku.+

³²This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.

³²Win ɣef i wen-d-țmeslayeɣ, d Ɛisa-agi i d-isseḥya Sidi Ṛebbi si ger lmegtin, aql-aɣ akk d inagan.

³³Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

³³Mi gețwarfed ɣer uyeffus n Sidi Ṛebbi, yețțunefk-as Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i s-yewɛed Baba Ṛebbi, nețța ismar-it-id fell-aɣ ; d ayen i teslam, i twalam.

³⁴For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand,

³⁴Mačči d Sidna Dawed i gulin ɣer igenni, axaṭer d nețța i d-yennan : Sidi Ṛebbi yenna-d i Ssid-iw :

³⁵until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

³⁵Sṭef amkan n lḥekma ɣer uyeffus-iw alamma rriɣ iɛdawen-ik seddaw idaṛṛen-ik.+ +

³⁶“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

³⁶Ilaq ihi at Isṛail meṛṛa ad ẓren s tideț belli Ɛisa-nni i tsemmṛem ɣef lluḥ, d nețța i gerra Sidi Ṛebbi d Agellid ameqqran, d Lmasiḥ.

³⁷Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

³⁷Mi slan i wayen i d-yenna Buṭrus, lɣaci meṛṛa saxen wulawen-nsen, nnan i Buṭrus d ṛṛusul nniḍen : Ay atmaten, d acu ara nexdem ?

³⁸Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸Buṭrus yerra-yasen : Tubet, beddlet tikli ! Mkul yiwen deg-wen ad yețwaɣḍes s yisem n Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ iwakken a wen-țwasemmḥen ddnubat-nwen, yerna a wen-d yețțunefk Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

³⁹For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

³⁹Axaṭer lweɛd-agi n Sidi Ṛebbi, yețțunefk-ed i kunwi d warraw-nwen akk-d wid meṛṛa n leǧnas nniḍen iwumi ara d-issiwel Sidi Ṛebbi Illu-nneɣ.

⁴⁰With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

⁴⁰Buṭrus inehhu-ten s waṭas n yimeslayen nniḍen, iwakken ad amnen, yeqqaṛ-asen : Xḍut i lǧil-agi iɛewjen iwakken aț-țețțusellkem !

⁴¹Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

⁴¹Wid iqeblen ayen i d-yenna Buṭrus, qeblen ad țwaɣedṣen. Ass-nni rnan-d wazal n tlata alaf n yemdanen i gumnen.

⁴²They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

⁴²Seg imiren, zgan țnejmaɛen am atmaten iwakken ad slen i wselmed n ṛṛusul ; beṭṭun aɣṛum n usmekti n Lmasiḥ, yerna deɛɛun ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi s yiwen n wul.

⁴³Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴³Tɛeǧǧben, tekcem-iten akk tugdi mi țwalin ṛṛusul xeddmen aṭas n lbeṛhanat d leɛǧayeb.

⁴⁴All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

⁴⁴Wid akk yumnen, țɛicin s tdukli yerna beṭṭun wway gar-asen ayen akk sɛan.

⁴⁵They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

⁴⁵Znuzun ayla-nsen meṛṛa, ayen akken i d-jemɛen, feṛqen-t wway gar-asen mkul yiwen ɣef leḥsab n wakken yeḥwaǧ.

⁴⁶Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁶Kull ass, s yiwen ṛṛay, țnejmaɛen di lǧameɛ iqedsen, țnejmaɛen daɣen deg ixxamen-nsen, beṭṭun aɣṛum iwakken ad mektin Lmasiḥ, tețțen lqut-nsen s nneya d lfeṛḥ ;

⁴⁷praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

⁴⁷țḥemmiden Sidi Ṛebbi, imdanen meṛṛa țqadaṛen-ten ; Sidi Ṛebbi irennu-d kull ass ɣer tejmaɛt-nsen wid ițțusellken.
