Acts 6
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
A TOUNPADAK kan lao totolar ni ran pukat men Krik kai ap lipaned on men Ipru, aki jota me apwali ar li odi kan ni ar dodok en ran akan.
2 The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Ekriamen oko ap molipe pena tounpadak kan majani: A jota mau on, jen muei jan majan en Kot, pwen papa ni tepel.
3 Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Ari ri (at) akan, rapaki jan nan pun omail ol ijimen, me kalok mau, me dir en Nen (jaraui) o lolekon, me jen kajapwiladan dok wet!
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
A kit pan apapwalita kapakap o dodok pan majan o.
5 These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
Pokon o ari peren kida kaparok pot et. Re ap piladar Jtepanuj, ol amen, me dir en pojon o Nen jaraui, pil Pilipuj, o Prokoruj, o Nikanor, o Timon, o Parmenaj, o Nikolauj, projelite jan Antiokien amen.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Re kidan irail mon wanporon akan. Re lao kapakaper ap kidan po’rail lim ar.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Majan en Kot ari pwaida kaualap, o tounpadak kan madan totolar nan lerujalem, o jamero toto pil ian lamalam o.
8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
A Jtepanuj, me dir en pojon o kelail, ap wiadar manaman o kilel laud kai nan pun en aramaj akan.
9 But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
A akai me udar, me kijan jinakoke en Liperti o men Kirene, omen Alekjandrien, o men Jilijia, o Ajien akamai on Jtepanuj.
10 They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
A re jota kak palian en Jtepanuj a kupurokon o Nen o, me audeda i.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Irail ari pwain on ol akai, pwen katiti: Je roner, me a lalaue mojej o Kot.
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
I rail pil kamakarada aramaj, o jaumaj akai, o jaunkawewe, re ap jaikidi i o koledi, re ap wa don i mod en kadeik o,
13 and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
O kapwareda jaunkadede likam akai, me katitiki: Aramaj men et jota kin dukedi jan a lulaue waja jaraui et o kapun.
14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”
Pwe je roner, me a katitiki, me Iejuj en Najaret pan kawela waja et o kawilianla lamalam kan, me Mojej kotiki on kitail er.
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
A karoj, me ian mod on kapun o, kankakil i, kajauiada, me jilan a dueta jilan en tounlan amen.
