Wolof: New Testament

King James Version

Acts

18

1 Bi loolu wéyee Pool bàyyikoo Aten, dem Korent.
1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 Mu tase fa ak Yawut bu tudd Akilas te juddoo diiwaanu Pont. Muy sog a jóge réewu Itali ak jabaram Pirsil, ndaxte buur ba Këlódd sant na Yawut yépp, ñu génn Room.
2And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3 Noonu Pool seeti leen, te gannaaw ñoo bokk liggéey, maanaam di defar ay tànt, mu dal fa ñoom, ñuy liggéeyandoo.
3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 Bésu noflaay bu nekk nag muy diisoo ak ñi nekk ca jàngu ba, di jéem a gëmloo ay Yawut ak ay Gereg.
4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 Waaye bi Silas ak Timote jógee diiwaanu Maseduwan, egg fa, Pool jublu ci xamle kàddu gi, tey dëggal ci Yawut yi naan, Yeesu mooy Almasi bi.
5And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 Bi ko Yawut ya gàntoo nag, di ko xas, mu yëlëb ay yéreem ne leen: «Yéena sàkku seen musiba; set naa ci. Léegi maa ngi dem ci ñi dul Yawut.»
6And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7 Ci kaw loolu mu jóge fa, dugg ci këru ku tudd Tisiyus Yustus, di ku ragal Yàlla, te kër ga dend ak jàngu ba.
7And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 Kirispus nag, njiitu jàngu ba, gëm na Boroom bi ak waa këram gépp. Te waa Korent ñu bare dégg kàddu gi te gëm ko, ñu sóob leen ci ndox.
8And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Naka noona Boroom bi feeñu Pool ci guddi ne ko: «Bul tiit dara, waaye deel wax te bañ a noppi.
9Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 Ndaxte maa ngi ànd ak yaw, te kenn du la jàpp, ba fitnaal la, ndaxte am naa xeet wu bare ci dëkk bii.»
10For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 Noonu Pool des at ak genn-wàll ci seen biir, di fa jàngale kàddug Yàlla.
11And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Ci nguuru Galyon ci diiwaanu Akayi nag, Yawut ya likkoo, ñu dal ci kaw Pool, yóbbu ko ca àttekaay ba.
12And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 Ñu ne: «Kii day xiir nit ñi ci màggal Yàlla ci lu juuyoo ak yoon wi.»
13Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Bi Pool bëggee wax nag, Galyon ne Yawut ya: «Yéen Yawut yi, bu aju woon ci jàdd yoon walla ñaawteef wu réy, kon liy yoon mooy ma déglu leen.
14And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15 Waaye bu ajoo ci ay werante ciy wax ak ay tur ak seen yoon, loolu seen wàll la; man duma ko àtte.»
15But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16 Noonu mu dàq leen ca àttekaay ba.
16And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17 Ci kaw loolu nit ñépp jàpp Sosten, njiitu jàngu ba, ñu di ko dóor ca kanamu àttekaay ba, waaye Galyon faalewu leen.
17Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18 Bi loolu wéyee Pool desati fa fan yu bare. Gannaaw ga mu tàggtoo ak bokk ya, dugg gaal jëm Siri, ànd ak Pirsil ak Akilas. Bi mu jógeegul teerub Señsere, mu watlu boppam, ndaxte am na lu mu dige woon ak Yàlla.
18And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19 Noonu ñu teer ci Efes. Pool bàyyi fa ñi mu àndaloon, daldi dugg ca jàngu ba, di diisoo ak Yawut ya.
19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Ñu ñaan ko, mu des fa lu gën a yàgg, waaye nanguwul.
20When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21 Kon mu tàggtoo ak ñoom naan: «Dinaa dellusi ci yéen, bu soobee Yàlla.» Noonu mu dugg gaal, jóge Efes,
21But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 teersi dëkku Sesare, mu dem nuyu mbooloom ñi gëm, ba noppi dem Ancos.
22And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 Bi mu fa desee ay jamono, mu jóge fa, di jaar dëkkoo-dëkk ci diiwaanu Galasi ak Firisi, di dooleel xoli taalibe yépp.
23And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Amoon na nag Yawut bu tudd Apolos te juddoo Alegsàndiri, mu dikk Efes. Nit ku yeewu la woon te am xam-xam bu yaatu ci Mbind mi.
24And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 Jàngoon na ci yoonu Boroom bi, di ku farlu ci xelam, muy xamle ak a jàngale bu wóor ci mbirum Yeesu, waaye fekk xam-xamam yem ci ni Yaxya daan sóobe ci ndox.
25This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 Noonu mu daldi wax ak fit wu dëgër ca jàngu ba. Bi ko Pirsil ak Akilas déggee nag, ñu woo ko fi ñoom, gën ko leeral yoonu Yàlla.
26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
27 Naka mu bëgg a dem Akayi, bokk ya xiir ko ca, ñu bind taalibe ya, ngir ñu teeru ko teeru bu rafet. Noonu mu dikk fa te jariñ lool ñi gëm jaare ko ci yiwu Yàlla.
27And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
28 Ndaxte mu ngay yey Yawut ya ca kanam ñépp, di firi Mbind yi, ba wone ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi.
28For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
