Acts 6
1 But, in these days, the disciples, multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, in that, their widows, were being overlooked in the daily ministry.
Laa dana siiga Jesu ŋɔdikaaba bo pugdi pugdi, k Heleniti jufinba bo fii k yie Ebliba yaaba po, pakuano bo ki laadi mi jiema.
2 And the Twelve, calling near the throng of the disciples, said—It doth not seem, right, that, we, forsaking the word of God, should be ministering unto tables.
Jesu tuonsɔnba piiga n bonmilie yeni bo yini bi ŋɔdikaaba ki yedi bi: «laa dagdi ti ŋa u Tienu maama ke ya bɔgdi mi yema.
3 But look out for yourselves, brethren, seven men from among you, who can be well-attested, full of Spirit and wisdom, —whom we will appoint over this need;
N naataani lugdi mani i siiga nni niba lele yaaba pia ti kpiagdi ki gɔ gbie yeni mi yanfuonma ke ti ba fidi ki teni ba li tuonli.
4 But, we, unto prayer and unto the ministry of the word, will give constant attention.
tima wani ti ba guani ki tugni ki ya jaandi yeni u Tienu ñɔmaama.»
5 And the word was pleasing in the sight of all the throng; and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholaus, a proselyte of Antioch;
Bi laabaalo bo mangi yaaba n bo taani kuli po. Yeni ke b bo lugdi Etieni o ja yua gbi yeni tu dugdi yeni mi yanfuonma, yeni Filipi, Prokori, Nikanɔri, Timɔn, Parmenasi, yeni Nikola yua lebidi bi niba pala Antiosi.
6 Whom they set before the Apostles, and, praying, they laid upon them their hands.
Yaaba gaa u tienu ñɔmaama bo kua yeni li niba jesu ŋɔdikaaba kani ke bi jaani ki gɔ maani i nui b po.
7 And, the word of God, went on growing, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem continued to multiply exceedingly; a great multitude of the priests also, were becoming obedient unto the faith.
Yeni u Tienu maama bo yadi kaan kuli ke bi ŋɔdikaaba bo pugni Jerusalemi diema nni.
8 Now, Stephen, full of favour and power, began to do great wonders and signs among the people.
Etieni bo gbie yeni ŋalbaligi yeni u paaciamu ki tiendi mi banciama boncianla ke li pia mi yaalidma bi niba siiga nni.
9 But there rose up certain of those out of the synagogue which is called [the synagogue] of them of Libertium and Cyrene and Alexandria, and certain of them from Cilicia and Asia, —disputing with Stephen;
Ama ya niba n bo tie Sinagɔg nni yaaba ke b yi bi Sirenian yeni Alesandrian nba yaaba pia mi yaama yeni Silisi yeni Azi bo fii. Li niba bo pagi yeni Etieni.
10 And they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking,
Ama b bo kan fidi ki sedi Etieni nunga nni yua gbie yeni u Tienu paalu ki maadi mi yanfuomaama.
11 Then, they set on men who were saying—We have heard him speaking profane things against Moses and God.
Li puoli po ke b wuoni lebidi b niba pala ke bi maadi: «ti gbadi ke Etieni ñani a ñɔbona ki sugi u Tienu yeni Myiisi.
12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes; and, coming upon him, they caught him away, and led him into the high-council.
ke suadi b niba, a nikpela yeni a gbandianla ke b cendi Etieni ki cuo o ki gedi yeni o b ceglikaaba kani.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said—This man, ceaseth not speaking things against this holy place and the law;
B bo baa yeniu faagu siedanba ke b maadi: «O ja ne li maadi ki sugdi u kaanŋanmo ne yeni yikodi.
14 For we have heard him saying—This Jesus the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which, Moses, delivered unto us.
Kelima ti gbadi k yedi ke naazareti jesu ba mudi u kaanŋanmo ne k gɔ lebdi balmaama tunda.
15 And, looking steadfastly at him, all they who were sitting in the high-council, saw his face, as if the face of a messenger;
Ke ya niba kuli bo kali i celi tema bo cini a nubina o po i ki la k o nunga tie nani meleki yeni.
