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 waɗannan kwanaki, sa’ad da yawan almajirai suke ƙaruwa, sai Yahudawan masu jin Hellenanci a cikinsu suka yi gunaguni a kan Yahudawan da suke Ibraniyawa domin ba a kula da gwaurayensu a wajen raba abinci na yau da kullum.
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.
Saboda haka Sha Biyun nan suka tara dukan almajirai wuri ɗaya, suka ce, “Bai zai yi kyau mu bar hidimar maganar Allah don mu shiga hidimar abinci ba.
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:
’Yan’uwa, ku zaɓi mutum bakwai daga cikinku waɗanda aka sani suna cike da Ruhu da kuma hikima. Mu kuwa za mu danƙa musu wannan aiki
4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
mu kuwa mu mai da halinmu ga yin addu’a da kuma hidimar maganar Allah.”
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,
Wannan shawarar kuwa ta gamshi dukan ƙungiyar. Sai suka zaɓi Istifanus, mutumin da yake cike da bangaskiya da kuma Ruhu Mai Tsarki; da Filibus, Burokorus, Nikano, Timon, Farmenas, da Nikolas daga Antiyok, wanda ya tuba zuwa Yahudanci.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Suka gabatar da waɗannan mutane wa manzanni, waɗanda kuwa suka yi addu’a, suka ɗibiya hannuwansu a kansu.
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.
Saboda haka maganar Allah ta yaɗu. Yawan almajirai a Urushalima kuwa ya yi saurin ƙaruwa, firistoci masu yawa kuma suka zama masu biyayya ga wannan bangaskiya.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
To, Istifanus, mutum cike da alheri da ikon Allah, ya aikata manyan ayyukan da alamu masu banmamaki a cikin mutane.
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.
Sai hamayya ta taso daga’yan ƙungiyar Majami’a na’Yantattu (kamar yadda ake kiransu), Yahudawan Sairin da Alekzandariya da kuma lardunan Silisiya da Asiya. Mutanen nan suka fara muhawwara da Istifanus,
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
amma ba su iya cin nasara kan hikimarsa ko kuma a kan Ruhu wanda ta wurinsa ne ya magana ba.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
Sa’an nan a asirce suka zuga waɗansu mutane su ce, “Mun ji Istifanus ya faɗa kalmomin saɓo game da Musa da kuma Allah.”
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.
Ta haka suka tā da hankalin mutane da dattawa da kuma malaman dokoki. Suka kama Istifanus suka kawo shi a gaban Majalisa.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;
Suka kawo masu ba da shaidar ƙarya, waɗanda suka ba da shaida cewa, “Wannan mutum ba ya rabuwa da maganar banza a kan wurin nan mai tsarki da kuma doka.
14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
Gama mun ji shi yana cewa wannan Yesu Banazare zai rushe wurin nan ya kuma canja al’adun da Musa ya ba mu.”
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
Dukan waɗanda suke zaune a Majalisar suka kafa wa Istifanus ido, suka kuma ga fuskarsa ta yi kama da ta mala’ika.
