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.

Laa dana nni, Jesu hoadikaaba coali den pugida, ke yaa jufinba n maadi gileka maama den yenbidi jufinba po, kelima bi den fali bi kpepuona daali kuli jiema boagidima po.

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.

Bi piiga n niliediba den yini ku niligu ki yedi: Laa dagidi tin ha U Tienu maama ki yaa boagidi mi jiema.

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:

Lani ya po n kpiiba gandi mani yi siiga jaba lele, ban tiedi yaaba yaa po o siedi-hamo, ki gbie leni U Tienu Fuoma yua leni mi yanfuoma, tin tuni ba laa tuonli.

4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.

Ama tinba wani ti baa pa ti yula i jaandi leni U Tienu maama wangima po.

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,

Laa jagili den mangi li nitaanli kuli. Bi den gandi Etiena yuan gbie leni li dandanli leni U Tienu Fuomi yua. Filipi, Pilokolo, Nikanola, Timono, Pamenasa leni Nikolasa yua n den tie nilamo Antiosa yua.

6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.

Bi den cuani ba bi tondiba kani, ban den jaandi ki gbeni bi den maani bi nii bipo.

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.

U Tienu maama den yayadi ki pugidi, Jesu hoadikaaba den pugidi hali boncianla Jelusema, bikopadicianba siiga mo boncianla den tuodi ki hoa Jesu.

8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.

Etiena den gbie leni U Tienu hanbili leni u paalu, ki tiedi bi niba siiga mi bancianma leni sinankenciami.

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.

Bi nitianba yaaba n tie li balimaama bangima dieyenli yaaba, ban yi yaaba bi nifaabikaaba, den fii ki nia leni Etiena. bi den tie ya jufinba n ñani silena leni Alesandili dogu nni, leni yaaba n ñani silisi leni Asi ya diema nni kuli.

10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.

U Tienu Fuoma den puni Etiena mi yanfuoma ke o maadi ke bi kan den fidi ki nia leni o.

11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.

Lane bi den suu bi jaba li suuli ke bi pua o po mi faama ki yedi: Ti gbadi ke o maadi ti masugidi Musa po leni U Tienu po.

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.

Bi den lengidi bi niba leni bi nikpeliba leni li balimaama bangikaaba yama. Lani bi dencua ki bibi Etiena ki cuo o ki gedini o bicancannikpeliba taancianli po.

13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;

Bi go den teni ke bi siedi-faadanba pua o po mi faama ki yedi: O naajoa sugidi u naa kaangagidi hamu, ki go sugidi li bali maama kaacedi.

14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.

Ti go den gbadi ke o yedi ke Jesu, Nasaleti yua yeni, baa bolini U Tienu diegu na ki lebidi Musa n den bili ti po yaa bogida.

15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.

Bi cancan-nikpeliba yaaba n den ka bi taancianli kani kuli den diidi Etiena, ki la ke nunga tie nani maleeki yaa nunga yeni.
