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.
Ikanisa palyahonjelelaga akule abhantu bhahabha bhinji, gahanda abhe amalulumwo hwa shirika Ayahudi abheshi Yunani bhabhalulumwaga aba Ebrania, huje afwele bhabho sebhabhagabhilaga shinza eshalye bhabhewaga.
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.
Atumwe bhabhakwizya ashirika bhonti, bhahaga seshinza ate alileshe izu lya Ngulubhi na bhatenganye amwe humambogeshalye.
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:
Eshi salulii abhantu saba abhinza bhabhali nu Mpepo Ufinjile tibhabhishe humbombo ene.
4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
Nate tibhakhale na deele mwizu lya Ngulubhi na puute.”
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,
Ezyo enongwa zyabha nyinza bhasalula u Stefano, umuntu uwelweteshelo nu Mpepo Ufinjile, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolao, wa hu Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Bhabhaleta hwa tumwe, abhantu ebha, bhabhapuutila na bhabhabheleshela amakhono gabho.
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.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lyavwambana na ashirika bhonjelela mu Yelusalemu bhope agosi bheshibhanza bhabhinji bhalyeteshe izu lya Ngulubhi.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
Nu Stefano, muntu yali ne neema nikhone abhombaga amambo minji aga Ngulubhi agaswijizye hwa bhantu.
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.
Lelo bhahinza abhantu abhe Sinagogi lyalihwefwa Mahuru, nelya Bhakirene nelya Waeskanderia, na bhahukilikia na hu Asia. Abhantu ebha bhabisaniaga nu Stefano.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Lelo, sigabhawezizye ashindane nu Stefano umwene ali ne hekima nu Mpepo Ufinjile yayangaga mwa Stefano.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
Abhantu ebho bhayanga na bhantu bhabhasuliha bhaga, “Mugaje uStefano aligaga uMusa nu Ngulubhi tumviwizye tete.”
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.
Bhabhabuula azee, nasimbi, bhabhala bhakhata uStefano, bhaleta hwi baraza.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;
bhabhaleta aketi abhilenga, bhaga, “umuntu unu sigaleha ayanje embibhi epa apa tuntumu ahuliga wu Ngulubhi nesheria ya Musa.
14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
Tumvwizye nayanga huje bhashi uYesu abhapananganye esheria zyetu ezyeshikhaya zyatapelilwe nu Musa.”
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
Shila muntu yaali pibaraza amaso gakwe gamwenya hulineshi umalaika.
