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.
Bere bi akyi a na asuafo no redɔɔso no, akasakasa sii Hebrifo a wɔka Arameike ne Hebrifo a wɔka Hela kasa no ntam. Na Hebrifo a wɔka Hela no asɛm ne sɛ, Hebrifo a wɔka Arameike no nhwɛ wɔn akunafo yiye.
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.
Enti asomafo dumien no frɛɛ asuafo no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ yegyae Onyankopɔn asɛnka kɔkyɛ aduan.
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:
Enti anuanom, munyi mo mu nnipa baason a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ wɔn ma na wonim nyansa na wɔahwɛ aka saa asɛm no.
4 but we will give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
Yɛn ankasa de, yɛde yɛn adagyew nyinaa bɛbɔ mpae aka Asɛmpa no.”
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,
Nnipa no nyinaa penee adwene a asomafo no de bae no so. Enti, woyii Stefano a na gyidi ne Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no, ne Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanor, Timon, Pamina ne Nikolao a ofi Antiokia a na anka ɔwɔ Yudasom mu no.
6 whom they set before the apostles; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Wɔde saa nnipa yi kyerɛɛ asuafo no ma wɔbɔɔ mpae de wɔn nsa guu wɔn so.
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.
Nnipa pii gyee asɛm no di maa wɔn mu dodow no ara bɛkaa wɔn ho. Yudafo no mu pii nso gyee wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ no dii.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
Stefano a Onyankopɔn adom ne tumi ahyɛ no ma no yɛɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree wɔ asafo no mu.
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.
Nanso da koro bi, nnipa bi a wofi Yudafo hyiadan bi a wɔfrɛ no “Ahofadifo Hyiadan” no mu a wɔyɛ Yudafo a wofi Kirene ne Aleksandria ne wɔn a wofi Kilikia ne Asia no ne Stefano gyee akyinnye.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Nanso Honhom no maa Stefano nyansa ma ɔde kasae a obiara antumi anka hwee.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
Ɛno nti wɔka hyɛɛ nkurɔfo bi ano se, “Yɛtee sɛ ɔreka abususɛm atia Mose ne Onyankopɔn.”
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.
Wɔnam saa ɔkwan yi so maa nnipa no ne mpanyin no ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no sɔre tiaa Stefano. Wɔbɛkyeree Stefano de no kɔɔ baguafo anim.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law;
Afei, wɔde nnipa ba bedii adansekurum tiaa Stefano se, “Saa onipa yi ka abususɛm tia yɛn asɔredan kronkron no ne Mose Mmara no daa.
14 for we have heard him saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
Yɛtee mpo sɛ ɔreka se, saa Yesu Nasareni no bedwiriw yɛn asɔredan no agu na wasesa yɛn amanne a Mose de gyaw yɛn no!”
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
Nnipa a na wɔte bagua mu hɔ no nyinaa hwɛɛ Stefano anim, na wohuu sɛ nʼanim ayɛ te sɛ ɔsoro ɔbɔfo anim.
