Acts 6
1 But in those days, the disciples multiplying in number, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews because their widows were overlooked in the daily ministration.
A hnukbang kaminawk pung o tahang naah, Grik kami lamhmainawk to nithokkruek caaknaek paek ai ah pahnawt o sut pongah, Grik kaminawk mah Hebru kaminawk to laisaep o thuih.
2 And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples to [them], said, It is not right that we, leaving the word of God, should serve tables.
Kami hatlai hnettonawk mah pop parai hnukbang kaminawk to angmacae khaeah kawk o moe, caaknaek paekhaih tok to sak pongah, Sithaw ih lok to caehtaak han om ai, tiah thuih pae o.
3 Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselves seven men, well reported of, full of [the] [Holy] Spirit and wisdom, whom we will establish over this business:
To pongah, nawkamyanawk, caaknaek paekkung tok to sak hanah, nangcae thungah ahmin khingya koi kaom kami, Kacai Muithla hoi koi kami, panoek thaihaih tawn kami long tarukto qoi oh.
4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
To tiah ni aicae loe lawkthuihaih hoi tamthanglok taphonghaih tok to a sah o poe thai tih, tiah a naa o.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and [the] Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch,
To lok mah pop parai kaminawk to palung dipsak: to pongah tanghaih hoi Kacai Muithla hoiah koi Stephen, Philip, Prokorus, Nikanor, Timon, Parmenas hoi Antiok vangpui ih Judah bokhaih hoiah angqoi kami Nikolas cae to a qoih o.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Qoih ih kaminawk to patoeh ih kaminawk hma ah hoih o: nihcae mah to kaminawk han lu nuiah bankoenghaih hoiah lawkthuih pae o.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was very greatly multiplied, and a great crowd of the priests obeyed the faith.
To tiah Sithaw lok to pung tahang; Jerusalem vangpui ah doeh hnukbang kaminawk pung o parai; pop parai qaimanawk mah doeh tanghaih lok to tahngaih o.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
Tanghaih hoi thacakhaih hoiah kakoi Stephen mah, kaminawk salakah paroeai dawnrai hmuen hoi angmathaihnawk to sak.
9 And there arose up certain of those of the synagogue called of freedmen, and of Cyrenians, and of Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
To naah Kaloih kaminawk ih Sineko, tiah kawk ih Cyrene kaminawk, Alexandria kaminawk, Cilicia hoi Asia prae ah kaom kaminawk angthawk o moe, Stephen hoi lok angaek o.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Toe palunghahaih hoi Muithla hoiah a thuih ih lok to, nihcae mah aek o thai ai.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
To pongah nihcae mah thoemto kaminawk khaeah, Stephen mah Mosi hoi Sithaw ih ahmin kasae thuih ih lok to ka thaih o, tiah thuih hanah kaminawk to tamquta hoiah zoek o.
12 And they roused the people, and the elders, and the scribes. And coming upon [him] they seized him and brought [him] to the council.
Nihcae mah rangpuinawk, kacoehtanawk, ca tarik kaminawk to pacuek o; nihcae loe Stephen khaeah caeh o moe, anih to naeh o, to pacoengah anih to lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah caeh o haih.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;
Nihcae mah hnukung amsawn to kawk o moe, Hae kami loe hae ih kaciim ahmuen hoi ukhaih daan to kasae thuih:
14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
hae Nazareth Jesu mah loe hae ahmuen hae phrae ueloe, Mosi mah aicae han paek ih atawk doeh pakhrai tih, tiah hae kami mah thuih ih lok to ka thaih o, tiah a naa o.
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
To naah lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah anghnu kaminawk boih mah anih to mikpakhrip ai ah khet o, to naah anih ih mikhmai to van kami maeto ih mikhmai baktiah a hnuk o.
