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.
Mwanakandahi vawuliwa pevayendalili kuyonjokeseka, gakahumila mang'ung'uta pagati ya vamsadika va Yesu, Vayawudi vevilongela Chigiliki vala na vala vevilongela Chiebulania, vevilongela Chigiliki vala vang'ung'utayi ndava vakuvakosiwa valipwela vavi mukugawiwa vyakulya vya kila ligono.
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.
Ndi muni, vamitumi kumi na vavili vala vakavakemela vamsadika, vakajova, “Chabwina lepi tete kuleka kukokosa Lilovi la Chapanga na kuvagavila chakulya.
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.
Hinu, valongo vitu, mvahagula vandu saba pagati yinu, vevitopeswa na vevamemili Mpungu Msopi na luhala, tete yati tikuvagotolela lihengu lenili.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word."
Tavete yati tivya mukuhenga mukumuyupa Chapanga na lihengu la kukokosa Lilovi la Chapanga.”
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;
Lijambu lenilo likavaganisa vamsadika voha, ndi vakavahagula Stefani, mundu mweamemiswi sadika yivaha na Mpungu Msopi na Filipi na Plokolo na Timoni na Pamena na Nikolausi mundu wa ku Antiokia mweajiwungi na njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Vakavavika palongolo ya vamitumi, kangi vakavayupila kwa Chapanga kuni vavapamisi mawoko.
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.
Lilovi la Chapanga likadandasika ku Yelusalemu na vamsadika vakayonjokeseka neju, chikundi chivaha cha vamteta va Chapanga vakalanda sadika.
8 Stephen, full of grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Hinu, Stefani amotisiwi na apewili makakala na Chapanga, hati akahenga chinamtiti na makangaso pagati ya vandu.
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.
Nambu vandu vangi vakahumila muni vahutana na Stefani. Vandu venavo vavi va “Nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi la vandu Hulu,” Vene vahumili Kulene na Alekisanda, na vangi vahumili Kilikia na Asia.
10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Nambu vahotwili lepi kumhotola ndava ya luhala lwaki, na Mpungu Msopi mweamlongwisi mukujova.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."
Ndi vakavakulukisa cha mfiyu vandu nunuyu vajova kuvya, “Timyuwini Stefani akumliga Musa na akumliga Chapanga.”
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,
Ndava ya yeniyo, vakavakokesa vandu, vachilongosi na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa. Ndi vakambwelela Stefani vakamkamula na kumpeleka palongolo ya libanji.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.
Kangi vakaleta vajova malovi ga udese vevajovili, “Mundu uyu katu ikotoka lepi kuliga pandu apa Pamsopi na kuliga malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa.
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."
Ndava muni tamali kumyuwanila kuvya Yesu wa ku Nazaleti mwenuyu yati apagwisa pandu apa na kung'anamusa mivelu yila yetapokili kuhuma kwa Musa.”
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Voha vevatamili mu libanji lila vakamlolokesa takataka Stefani, kangi vakalola pamihu paki pavi ngati mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga.
