1 Eta egun hetan nola discipuluac multiplicatzen baitziraden, eguin cedin Grecoén murmuratzebat Hebraicoén contra ceren menospreciatzen baitziraden cerbitzu ordinarioan hayén emazte alhargunac.
In those days, as the number of disciples was increasing, there occurred a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were treated with disdain in the daily ministration.
2 Halacotz hamabiéc discipuluzco compainiá deithuric, erran ceçaten, Ezta raçoin guc Iaincoaren hitza vtziric mahainac cerbitza ditzagun.
And so the twelve, calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: “It is not fair for us to leave behind the Word of God to serve at tables also.
3 Hautaitzaçue beraz, anayeác, çuetaric çazpi guiçon testimoniage onetacoric, Spiritu sainduaz eta sapientiaz betheac, eta cargu haur emanen baitrauègu.
Therefore, brothers, search among yourselves for seven men of good testimony, filled with the Holy Spirit and with wisdom, whom we may appoint over this work.
4 Eta guçaz den becembatean orationeari eta hitzaren administrationeari iarreiquiren gniaizquió.
Yet truly, we will be continually in prayer and in the ministry of the Word.”
5 Eta propos haur compainia guciaren gogaraco içan cen: eta elegi citzaten Esteben, guiçon fedez eta Spiritu sainduaz bethea, eta Philippe, eta Prochoro, eta Nicanor, eta Timon, eta Parmenas, eta Nicolas proselyto Antiocheanoa:
And the plan pleased the entire multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and with the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas, a new arrival from Antioch.
6 Hauc presenta citzaten Apostoluén aitzinera, eta hec othoitze eguinic escuac gainean paussa cietzén.
These they set before the sight of the Apostles, and while praying, they imposed hands on them.
7 Eta Iaincoaren hitza aitzinaratzen cen, eta haguitz multiplicatzen cen discipuluén contua Ierusalemen: Sacrificadoretaric-ere tropel handiac fedea obeditzen çuen.
And the Word of the Lord was increasing, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied exceedingly. And even a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 Eta Estebenec betheric fedez eta botherez, eguiten çuen miraculu eta signo handiric populuan.
Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
9 Eta altcha citecen batzu, Libertinén, eta Cyreneanoén eta Alexandrianoén, eta Ciliciaco eta Asiaco diradenén deitzen den synagogatic, disputatzen ciradela Estebenequin.
But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
10 Eta ecin resisti ceçaqueoten sapientiari eta hura minça eraciten çuen Spirituari.
But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
11 Orduan suborna citzaten guiçon batzu erraiten çutenic, Ençun dugu hori erraiten hitz blasphemiotacoric Moysesen eta Iaincoaren contra.
Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
12 Eta moui citzaten populua eta Ancianoac eta Scribác: eta oldarturic harrapa ceçaten hura, eta eraman ceçaten conseillura.
And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
13 Eta presenta citzaten testimonio falsuac erraiten çutenic, Guiçon haur ezta ichiltzen blasphemiotaco hitz erraitetic leku saindu hunen, eta Leguearen contra.
And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
14 Ecen ençun vkan dugu haur erraiten, ecen Iesus Nazareno horrec deseguinen duela leku haur, eta muthaturen dituela Moysesec eman drauzquigun ordenançác.
For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
15 Eta beguiac harenganat egotziric, conseilluan iarriric ceuden guciéc ikus ceçaten haren beguithartea quasi Aingueru baten beguithartea beçalaco.
And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.
