Now in those days, as the disciples were multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.

7 Eta Iaincoaren hitza aitzinaratzen cen, eta haguitz multiplicatzen cen discipuluén contua Ierusalemen: Sacrificadoretaric-ere tropel handiac fedea obeditzen çuen.
Well the Word of God kept spreading, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem kept multiplying at a great rate, and a large company of the priests were obeying the faith.
8 Eta Estebenec betheric fedez eta botherez, eguiten çuen miraculu eta signo handiric populuan.
While Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.

Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.

And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
11 Orduan suborna citzaten guiçon batzu erraiten çutenic, Ençun dugu hori erraiten hitz blasphemiotacoric Moysesen eta Iaincoaren contra.
Then they instigated men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

and they put forward false witnesses who said: “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against the holy place and the law;

All who sat in the council, looking intently at him, saw his face like the face of an angel.
