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.

Laa dana nni, Jesu hoadikaaba coali den pugida, ke yaa jufinba n maadi gileka maama den yenbidi jufinba po, kelima bi den fali bi kpepuona daali kuli jiema boagidima po.

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.

Bi piiga n niliediba den yini ku niligu ki yedi: Laa dagidi tin ha U Tienu maama ki yaa boagidi mi jiema.

3 Therefore select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

Lani ya po n kpiiba gandi mani yi siiga jaba lele, ban tiedi yaaba yaa po o siedi-hamo, ki gbie leni U Tienu Fuoma yua leni mi yanfuoma, tin tuni ba laa tuonli.

4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."

Ama tinba wani ti baa pa ti yula i jaandi leni U Tienu maama wangima po.

5 And these words pleased the whole gathering. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;

Laa jagili den mangi li nitaanli kuli. Bi den gandi Etiena yuan gbie leni li dandanli leni U Tienu Fuomi yua. Filipi, Pilokolo, Nikanola, Timono, Pamenasa leni Nikolasa yua n den tie nilamo Antiosa yua.

6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

Bi den cuani ba bi tondiba kani, ban den jaandi ki gbeni bi den maani bi nii bipo.

7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem; and a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.

U Tienu maama den yayadi ki pugidi, Jesu hoadikaaba den pugidi hali boncianla Jelusema, bikopadicianba siiga mo boncianla den tuodi ki hoa Jesu.

8 Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.

Etiena den gbie leni U Tienu hanbili leni u paalu, ki tiedi bi niba siiga mi bancianma leni sinankenciami.

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 Stephen.

Bi nitianba yaaba n tie li balimaama bangima dieyenli yaaba, ban yi yaaba bi nifaabikaaba, den fii ki nia leni Etiena. bi den tie ya jufinba n ñani silena leni Alesandili dogu nni, leni yaaba n ñani silisi leni Asi ya diema nni kuli.

10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

U Tienu Fuoma den puni Etiena mi yanfuoma ke o maadi ke bi kan den fidi ki nia leni o.

11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

Lane bi den suu bi jaba li suuli ke bi pua o po mi faama ki yedi: Ti gbadi ke o maadi ti masugidi Musa po leni U Tienu po.

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,

Bi den lengidi bi niba leni bi nikpeliba leni li balimaama bangikaaba yama. Lani bi dencua ki bibi Etiena ki cuo o ki gedini o bicancannikpeliba taancianli po.

13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.

Bi go den teni ke bi siedi-faadanba pua o po mi faama ki yedi: O naajoa sugidi u naa kaangagidi hamu, ki go sugidi li bali maama kaacedi.

14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."

Ti go den gbadi ke o yedi ke Jesu, Nasaleti yua yeni, baa bolini U Tienu diegu na ki lebidi Musa n den bili ti po yaa bogida.

15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

Bi cancan-nikpeliba yaaba n den ka bi taancianli kani kuli den diidi Etiena, ki la ke nunga tie nani maleeki yaa nunga yeni.
