Acts 6
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
Itungili mu mahiku aya, matungo i ngele a amanyisigwa nai ikatulaa i kongeeleka, u witushi nua Ayahudi nia ki Yunani ai landilye ku a Ebrania, kunsoko ahimbi ao ai atulaa akiwa mu womolang'yi nua kila luhiku nua ndya.
2 So the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Itumi ikumi na abiili ai aitangile u milundo wihi nua amanyisigwa nu kuligitya, “Shanga iziza kita itu kululeka u lukani nulang'wa Itunda nu kua aiilya mu meza.
3 Therefore select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Rukha and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Ku lulo anyandugu, holang'yi, agoha mupungati, kupuma mukati anyu, antu akende, ni izue u Ng'wau Ng'welu nua upolo, naza kuhumile kuinkiilya u uailya uwu.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."
Nu sese, ku ulongoleka ikali kulompa nu mu uailya nua lukani.
5 And these words pleased the whole gathering. They chose Astapanos, a man full of faith and of the Rukha d'Qudsha, Philipus, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;
Uganuli nuao ukaliloeelya ianza lihi. Iti gwa ikamuholania uStefano, muntu nuizuee uhuiili nu Ng'wau Ng'welu, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, nu Nikolao, muokole kupuma ku Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Ahuiili ai a aletile i antu awa ntongeela a itumi, nai alompile ni panyambele aka aikiilya i mikono ao.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Urishlim; and a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Iti gwa, lukani nulang'wa Itunda likenela; ni ngele a amanyisigwa ai ikiile kongeeleka uko ku Yerusalemu; ni ngele nkulu a akuhani aka ukulya u uhuiili.
8 Astapanos, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Nu Stefano, nai wizuee u ukende ni ngulu, ai watulaa ukituma ukuilwa ni ilingasiilyo ikulu mukati ao mu antu.
9 But some of those who were of the synagogue called "The Libertines," and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Astapanos.
Kuiti pang'wanso akanyansuka ang'wi ao a antu atyatiili itekeelo ni litangwaa itekeelo nila Mahulu, ni la a Kirene hangi la Aesksnderia, ni ang'wi kupuma ku Kilikia ni Asia. Antu awa ai atulaa akikolenkeelya nu Stefano
10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Rukha by which he spoke.
Kuiti, shanga ai ahumile ki kilya nu upolo nua Ng'wau Ng'welu naiza uStefano ai watulaa ukutumila mu witambuili.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Mushe and God."
Uugwa ai uapembeseeye ang'wi a antu ku kinkunku kuligitya, “Kigulye uStefano ukuligitya makani a kimeli kung'wa Musa ni kung'wa Itunda.”
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, and brought him in to the council,
Ai a asingilye i antu, anyampala, ni amanyi, nu kumuhanga uStefano, akamuamba, nu kumuleta ntongeela i anza,
13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.
aka aleta ia kuiili nia uteele, azeligitya, “umuntu uyu shanga ukuleka kitunta i makani ni mabii ku kianza iki ni kelu ni ilagiilyo.
14 For we have heard him say that this Yeshua the Natsraya will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Mushe delivered to us."
Ku iti kumigulye ukuligitya kina uyu uYesu nua ku Nazareti ukubipya i nkika apa nu kuikaila i ntendo nai kinkiigwe nu Musa.”
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Kila ung'wi nai ukoli mi ananza, akatunja i miho akwe kumugozeela uStefano, ni enso akihenga u usu nuakwe ai watulaa anga usu wang'wa malaika.
