¹ Naka noonu nit ku tudd Anañas, ànd ak Safira jabaram, jaay làccu suuf.

¹And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

² Mu dencal boppam benn cér ca njëg ga, ànd ca ak jabaram; ba noppi mu indi cér ba ca des, teg ko ci loxoy ndaw ya.

²and did keep back of the price — his wife also knowing — and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid [it].

³ Bi mu ko defee Piyeer ne ko: «Anañas, lu tax nga bàyyi Seytaane dugg la, ba fees sa xol, ngay wor Xel mu Sell mi, ci li nga dencal sa bopp benn cér ci njëg gi?

³And Peter said, `Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?

⁴ Bi mu jaragul, ndax moomuloo ko woon? Te bi mu jaree, ndax yilifuloo woon njëg gi? Lu tax nga fas ci sa xol def nii? Woruloo nit ñi, waaye Yàlla nga wor.»

⁴while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why [is] it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;`

⁵ Bi Anañas déggee baat yooyu, mu daanu dee. Ñi ko dégg ñépp tiit, ba ne nërëm.

⁵and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,

⁶ Noonu waxambaane ya jóg, ñu sàng ko, yóbbu ko, jébbal Yàlla.

⁶and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him].

⁷ Ñetti waxtu gannaaw ga, jabaram duggsi, fekk xamul la fa xew.

⁷And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in,

⁸ Piyeer daldi ko ne: «Wax ma, ndax lii mooy njëgu tool bi?» Mu tontu ko: «Waawaaw, lii la.»

⁸and Peter answered her, `Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;` and she said, `Yes, for so much.`

⁹ Ci kaw loolu Piyeer ne ko: «Lu tax ngeen ànd, di diiŋat Xelu Boroom bi? Ñi denci woon sa jëkkër ñu ngi nii ci bunt bi, te dinañu la yóbbu.»

⁹And Peter said unto her, `How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;`

¹⁰ Ca saa sa mu daanu ciy tànkam dee. Bi waxambaane ya agsee nag, ñu fekk ko, mu faatu; ñu yóbbu ko, def ko ci wetu jëkkëram.

¹⁰and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried [her] by her husband;

¹¹ Noonu tiitaange ju mag tàbbi ci mbooloom ñi gëm ñépp ak ñi ko dégg ñépp.

¹¹and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

¹² Bi loolu amee ay kéemaan ak ay firnde yu bare di xew ci nit ñi, jaare ca loxoy ndaw ya. Ñépp di booloo ca Werandaa bu Suleymaan ca kër Yàlla ga.

¹²And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon;

¹³ Te kenn ci ña ca des ñemewul a booloo ak ñoom, waaye nit ñépp di leen màggal.

¹³and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,

¹⁴ Moona ay nit ñu gën a bare, góor ak jigéen, di gëm Boroom bi, tey taq ci ñoom.

¹⁴(and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,)

¹⁵ Nit ñi indi sax ñu wopp ca mbedd ya, teg leen ca ay lal yu ndaw ak ay leeso, ngir bu Piyeer di jaar, doonte takkandeeram sax yiir ñenn ci ñoom.

¹⁵so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay [them] upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even [his] shadow might overshadow some one of them;

¹⁶ Te it nit ñu bare dajaloo, jóge ca dëkk ya wër Yerusalem, ñu indi ay jarag ak ñu rab yu bon sadd; te ñoom ñépp daldi wér.

¹⁶and there were coming together also the people of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bearing ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits — who were all healed.

¹⁷ Booba saraxalekat bu mag ba jóg ak gàngooram gépp, maanaam kureelu Sadusen, ga fa dëkk. Kiñaan gu mag jàpp leen,

¹⁷And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him — being the sect of the Sadducees — were filled with zeal,

¹⁸ ba ñu jàpp ndaw ya, tëj leen ca kaso ba.

¹⁸and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison;

¹⁹ Waaye ci guddi malaakam Boroom bi ubbi buntu kaso ba, génne leen ci biti naan:

¹⁹and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,

²⁰ «Demleen taxaw ca kër Yàlla ga, te xamal nit ñi lépp lu jëm ci dund gu wóor gii.»

²⁰`Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life;`

²¹ Bi ñu déggee loolu, ñu dugg ca kër Yàlla ga ci suba teel, daldi waare. Bi ñu koy def, saraxalekat bu mag ba ak gàngooram ñëw, woolu kureelu àttekat ya, maanaam mbooloom njiiti bànni Israyil gépp; ñu yónnee, ngir jëli ndaw ya ca kaso ba.

²¹and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,

²² Waaye bi wottukati kër Yàlla ga agsee ca kaso ba, gisuñu leen fa; ñu daldi dellusi, yégle ko

²²and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,

²³ ne: «Fekk nanu kaso ba tëju bu wóor ak wottukat ya taxaw ca bunt ya, waaye bi nu ko tijjee, fekkunu kenn ci biir.»

²³saying — `The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened — within we found no one.`

²⁴ Bi kilifag wottukati kër Yàlla ga ak saraxalekat yu mag ya déggee loolu, ñu daldi ciy jaaxle lool, ñuy laajante, fu lii di mujj.

²⁴And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;

²⁵ Noonu benn waay ñëw, yégal leen ne: «Nit ñi ngeen tëjoon ñu ngi taxaw ca kër Yàlla ga, di jàngal nit ñi.»

²⁵and coming near, a certain one told them, saying — `Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;`

²⁶ Ci kaw loolu kilifa ga ak wottukat ya dem jëli leen; waaye boolewuñu ci fitna, ngir ragal nit ñi sànni leen ay xeer.

²⁶then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;

²⁷ Bi ñu leen indee, ñu dëj leen ci kanamu mbooloo ma. Saraxalekat bu mag ba laaj leen

²⁷and having brought them, they set [them] in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them,

²⁸ ne: «Ndax terewunu leen ci lu wér, ngeen waare ci tur woowu, te fi mu ne dajal ngeen Yerusalem ak seeni waare, rax-ca-dolli yéena ngi nuy fexee taqal deretu nit kooku.»

²⁸saying, `Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.`

²⁹ Waaye Piyeer ak ndaw ya tontu leen ne: «Déggal Yàlla moo gën déggal nit.

²⁹And Peter and the apostles answering, said, `To obey God it behoveth, rather than men;

³⁰ Yàllay sunuy maam dekkal na Yeesu, mi ngeen bóomoon ci wékk ko ca bant ba.

³⁰and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;

³¹ Te Yàlla yékkati na ko ci ndeyjooram, mu nekk Buur ak Musalkat, ngir may bànni Israyil réccu, ba mu baal leen seeni bàkkaar.

³¹this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;

³² Seede nanu loolu, nun ak Xel mu Sell, mi Yàlla may ñi koy déggal.»

³²and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.`

³³ Bi ñu déggee loolu, ñu mer ba seen xol di dagg, ñu bëgg leen a rey.

³³And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were taking counsel to slay them,

³⁴ Waaye amoon na fa nit ku tudd Gamaleel, bokk ci tariixab Farisen ya, di xutbakat bu tedd ci yoonu Musaa, mu jóg ca mbooloo ma, santaane ñu génne leen tuuti.

³⁴but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim — a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people — commanded to put the apostles forth a little,

³⁵ Bi ñu ko defee mu ne leen: «Yéen bokki Israyil, moytuleen li ngeen di def nit ñooñu.

³⁵and said unto them, `Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do,

³⁶ Ndaxte bu yàggul Tëdas jógoon na, mbubboo daraja, ba lu mat ñeenti téeméeri nit takktoo ak moom. Tëdas moomu nag reyees na ko, te ñi ko toppoon ñépp tasaaroo, ba seen pexe nasax.

³⁶for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.

³⁷ Gannaawam it Yudaa mu Galile jóg, ca jamono ja ñu doon bind waa réew ma, mu jógloo nit ñu bare, ñu ànd ak moom. Moom itam dee na, te ay nitam ñépp tasaaroo.

³⁷`After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrollment, and drew away much people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;

³⁸ Léegi maa ngi leen di wax, génnleen ci mbirum ñooñu te bàyyi leen ñu dem. Ndaxte bu seen pas-pas mbaa seen jëf dee pexem nit, dina yàqu.

³⁸and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,

³⁹ Waaye bu fekkee ne ndogalu Yàlla la, dungeen ko man a fanq, ngir ragal a jànkoonte ak Yàlla.»

³⁹and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.`

⁴⁰ Bi mu waxee loolu, ñu fekk ko ci xalaatam; ñu woo ndaw ya, daldi leen dóor ay yar, tere leen, ñu waxati dara ci turu Yeesu, ba noppi bàyyi leen, ñu dem.

⁴⁰And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go;

⁴¹ Ndaw ya nag jóge ca kanam kureelu àttekat ya, bég ci li leen Yàlla jàppe, ñu yeyoo yenu toroxte ngir Tur wa.

⁴¹they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,

⁴² Noonu bés bu nekk ca kër Yàlla ga ak ca kër ya, daawuñu noppee jàngale ak a xamle xebaar bu baax bi, ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi.

⁴²every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news — Jesus the Christ.
