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.
Leno isikhu inchi, eidadi ya vasiole vikhongesekha, elilalamekho lya Vayakhudi na Kiyunani vakhategwile ipakha Avaeblania, ulyakhova ugovo vavene vale kosamiwe vovigava ugovo gwa khya kholya.
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.
Avasukhya kumi na mbili vakhavelanga khulikusanyekho lyoni lya vasiule nukhunchova, “Sio ulyeli khulyofye ukhulelekha ilimenyu lya Ngolove ukhudumela emesa.
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:
Po, valokolo, nchagula, avagosi saba, ukhuhuma khulyumwe, avana avanonu, avadegile, enumbula nekhekima vavatuwesya ukhuvalekhela embombo eye.
4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
Nayofye, tukhendelelaga dama ukhudova nakhombombo ya limwenyu.”
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,
Ekhitabu yavene yekhanogela pakutano guvoni. Apo, vakhanchagola uSitefano, umunu uyudegile ulyedeho nu Mepo Umbalanche, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, utakatifu ukhuhuma kho Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Avaumini vakhava twala avanu ava khuvolongolo khuvasukhya, vakhodova pongela vakhavavekhela amavokho gavo.
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.
Ewo, elimenyu lya Ngolove lekheneile; eidadi ya vasiole yekhongesekha ukhya khu Yelusalemu; eidadi embakha ya vatekheji vakha yedekhe eimani.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
No Sitefano, uyadegile ulyedekho ni ngofu, alenkovomba amaajabu ne ishara imbakha khuvanu.
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.
Po apo lekhinokha avanu avange avafuasi va sinagogi likhyelangiwa Sinagogi lya Mahuru, elya Wakirene nelya Waeskandelaa, na vange ukhuhuma khu Kilikia na khu Asia. Avanu ava valen'kovonchana nu Sitefano.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Po, savakhawesye ukhusinda nekhekima yo Mepo yeyo akhalenayo uSitefano ayekohumela ukhunchova.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
Po vakhasonga avange avanu khu vutitu ukhuta “Tupolikhe uSitefano inchova amamenyu gakufulu zaidi ya Musa na zaidi ya Ngolove.”
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.
Vakhavatesya avanu, avasekhe, navasimbi, nukhundutela uSitefano, vakhamwibata, nukhutwala khuvulongolo khulibalasa.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;
vakhavaleta avasakhidi va vodesi, vavovakhanchovile, “umunu uya sibekhela ukhunchova amamenyu amavivi zaidi ya lieneo ele elitakatifu lya lulagelo.
14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
Mbona tupolikhe voichova ukhuta uYeesu va Nazaleti ikhopananga aponu apa nukhubadelesya(mila) destuli inchatupile uMusa.”
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
Khila yomo uyakhale ndibalasa, vakhalola amikha gavo khya Sitefano, navope vakhavovona khumikho khya mwene vuvile kama vouso wa sukhwa(malaika).
