| Vers | Kabyle: NT | English: King James Version |
| 2 | Yers-ed fell-awen Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen asmi i tumnem ? Rran-as : Leɛmeṛ nesli s Ṛṛuḥ-agi iqedsen. | He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. |
| 3 | Yenna-yasen : Anwa aɣḍas i-s-tețwaɣeḍsem ihi ? Rran-as : S weɣḍas n Yeḥya. | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. |
| 4 | Bulus yenna-yasen : Yeḥya yesseɣḍes wid akk iqeblen ad beddlen tikli, yeqqaṛ i wegdud ad amnen s win ara d-yasen deffir-es, yeɛni s Sidna Ɛisa. | Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. |
| 5 | Mi slan i yimeslayen-agi, țwaɣeḍsen s yisem n Sidna Ɛisa. | When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. |
| 6 | Akken yessers Bulus ifassen-is fell-asen, ikcem-iten Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, bdan heddṛen s tutlayin ur nețwassen ara, yerna țcaren-d ayen i sen-d-yusan s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi. | And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. |
| 7 | Imdanen-agi ad ilin di tnac yid-sen. | And all the men were about twelve. |
| 8 | Dɣa Bulus ikcem ɣer lǧameɛ n wat Isṛail. Azal n tlata wagguren ițmeslay yid-sen, ițqenniɛ-iten iwakken ad amnen s wayen yeɛnan tagelda n Sidi Ṛebbi. | And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. |
| 9 | Lameɛna kra deg-sen yeqquṛ wul-nsen ugin ad amnen, rnan kkaten deg webrid n Sidna Ɛisa zdat lɣaci. Mi gwala annect-agi, Bulus iṭṭaxeṛ-asen, yewwi yid-es inelmaden, isselmad-iten kull ass deg wexxam n yiwen wergaz isem-is Tiranus. | But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. |
| 10 | Yeqqim dinna sin iseggasen armi imezdaɣ meṛṛa n tmurt n Asya, ama d at Isṛail ama d iyunaniyen, slan i wawal n Sidi Ṛebbi. | And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. |
| 11 | Sidi Ṛebbi ixeddem lbeṛhanat imeqqranen s ifassen n Bulus ; | And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: |
| 12 | lɣaci wwḍen armi srusun ɣef yimuḍan ula ț-țimucwaṛin neɣ iceṭṭiḍen yennulen Bulus, dɣa imuḍan ḥellun, wid akk yețțumelken țeffɣen ten leǧnun. | So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. |
| 13 | Kra iseḥḥaren n wat Isṛail, ileḥḥun seg wemkan ɣer wayeḍ, ɛerden ad ssuffɣen leǧnun seg wid yețwamelken, qqaṛen-asen : S yisem n Sidna Ɛisa, win akken i gețbecciṛ Bulus, effɣet seg-es ! | Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. |
| 14 | Widak ixeddmen annect-agi llan di sebɛa yid-sen, d arraw n Ciba yellan d yiwen si lmuqedmin imeqqranen n at Isṛail. | And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. |
| 15 | Lǧen-nni yerra-yasen-d : Ɛisa ssneɣ-t, ssneɣ daɣen anwa i d Bulus, ma d kunwi d acu-kkun ? | And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? |
| 16 | Argaz-nni i gezdeɣ lǧen, izḍem fell-asen yekkat-iten armi rewlen seg wexxam d iɛeryanen, yerna jerḥen. | And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. |
| 17 | At Isṛail akk-d iyunaniyen meṛṛa izedɣen tamdint n Ifasus slan s wayagi, ikcem-iten meṛṛa lxuf, ḥemmden isem n Sidna Ɛisa. | And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. |
| 18 | Aṭas seg wid i gumnen, usan-d ad qiṛṛen zdat wiyaḍ, ḥkan-d ayen xedmen. | And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. |
| 19 | Aṭas seg wid yellan xeddmen ssḥur, wwin-d tiktabin-nsen s wayes xeddmen ssḥur, sseṛɣen-tent zdat medden. Ufan belli azal n xemsin alef n twiztin i d ssuma-nsent. | Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. |
| 20 | S wakka i gewweḍ wawal n Sidi Ṛebbi ɣer mkul amkan, ițnerni s tezmert n Sidi Ṛebbi. | So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. |
| 21 | Mi gɛedda wayagi akk, Bulus yeqsed ad iṛuḥ ɣer temdint n Lquds, ad iɛeddi si tmura n Masidunya akk-d Akaya ; ixemmem deg iman-is yenna : « M'ara awḍeɣ ɣer dinna, ilaq-iyi daɣen ad ṛuḥeɣ ɣer temdint n Ṛuma.» | After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. |
| 22 | Iceggeɛ ɣer tmurt n Masidunya sin seg imɛawnen-is, Timuti d Irastus ; ma d nețța yerna kra n wussan di tmurt n Asya. | So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. |
| 23 | Di lweqt-nni, ɣef ddemma n webrid n Sidi Ṛebbi ikker ccwal d ameqqran di temdint n Ifasus. | And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. |
| 24 | Yella yiwen uḥeddad isem-is Dimitriyus, iṣenneɛ s lfeṭṭa leǧwameɛ imecṭaḥ i d-yețmettilen lǧameɛ n Artimis, yesserbeḥ aṭas ixeddamen-is. | For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; |
| 25 | Isnejmaɛ-iten nutni d wid i gxeddmen lfeṭṭa am nețța, yenna yasen : Ay atmaten ! Teẓram belli rrbeḥ-nneɣ itekk-ed si lxedma-agi ; | Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. |
| 26 | teẓram yerna teslam daɣen ɣef Bulus-agi issamnen aṭas n lɣaci di temdint n Ifasus d waṭas n tmura n Asya. Yessamen lɣaci, yewwi-ten d webrid-is mi sen-iqqaṛ : « Iṛebbiten agi ițwaxedmen s ifassen n wemdan mačči d iṛebbiten n tide | Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: |
| 27 | ur nuggad ara kan aț-țeɣli ṣṣenɛa-nneɣ, lameɛna nuggad ad sseɣlin lqima i lǧameɛ n Artimis tameqqrant, taṛebbiț-nneɣ, qṛib a s-kksen lɛaḍima s wayes tețwaɛbed di tmurt n Asya d ddunit meṛṛa. | So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. |
| 28 | Mi slan i lehduṛ-agi, ikcem-iten wurrif, bdan țɛeggiḍen : Ț-țameqqrant Artimis, taṛebbiț n at Ifasus ! | And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. |
| 29 | Tețțucewwel akk temdint, lɣaci uzzlen ɣer wexxam n umezgun, seddan yid-sen Gayus akk-d Aristark yellan d imasiduniyen, d iṛfiqen n Bulus, ițṣafaṛen yid-es. | And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. |
| 30 | Bulus yebɣa ad ikcem di tlemmast n lɣaci-nni, lameɛna ugin-as inelmaden. | And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. |
| 31 | Ula d kra n lḥukkam imeqqranen n tmurt n Asya yellan d imdukkal-is, ceggɛen ɣuṛ-es iwakken a t-ḥellelen ur ițṛuḥ ara ɣer wexxam n umezgun. | And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre. |
| 32 | Anejmaɛ-nni yexṛeb, kra țɛeggiḍen akka, wiyaḍ akken nniḍen yerna aṭas deg-sen ur ẓrin ara acu i d sebba n unejmaɛ-nni. | Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. |
| 33 | At Isṛail sbedden-d Alixandru ad immeslay i lɣaci. Iwehha-yasen ufus-is ad ssusmen, iwakken a d-ihdeṛ, | And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people. |
| 34 | lameɛna mi t-ɛeqlen n wat Isṛail i gella, bdan țɛeggiḍen meṛṛa ɣef tikkelt azal n snat sswayeɛ : Ț-țameqqrant Artimis n at Ifasus ! | But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. |
| 35 | Lameɛna lamin n temdint ihedden lɣaci, yenna-yasen : Ay at Ifasus, anwa ur neẓri ara belli tamdint n Ifasus ț-țaɛessast n lǧameɛ Artimis tameqqrant akk-d lmeṣnuɛ-ines i d-iɣlin seg igenni ? | And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? |
| 36 | Imi ayagi yiwen ur yezmir a t-yenkeṛ, ilaq ihi aț-țhennim iman-nwen, ur xeddmet acemma s tuffɣa n leɛqel ! | Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. |
| 37 | Axaṭer irgazen-agi i d-tewwim ur ukiren lǧameɛ, ur rgimen Artimis taṛebbiț-nneɣ. | For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. |
| 38 | Ihi ma yella Dimitriyus d imdukkal-is sɛan sebba n uccetki ɣef yiwen, llan wussan n ccṛeɛ am akken llan lḥukkam ara ten-icaṛɛen , ad ṛuḥen ad ccetkin fell-asen. | Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another. |
| 39 | Ma yella wayen nniḍen i tessuturem deg-sen, ad ḥekmen fell-asen deg unejmaɛ zdat lḥukkam. | But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. |
| 40 | Atan nuggad ad ccetkin fell-aɣ ɣef wayen yedṛan ass-agi imi ulac sebba ara nefk ɣef wunejmaɛ-agi. Mi gfukk ameslay, iserreḥ i lɣaci, yefra unejmaɛ. | For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse. |
| 1 | And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, | |
| 41 | And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. |
