< 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.
Are xekꞌiyar ri kojonelabꞌ, ri winaq ri ketzijon pa griego kibꞌ xkibꞌij chi ri e kꞌi malkaꞌnibꞌ man junam ta tajin kabꞌan chike kukꞌ ri malkaꞌnibꞌ ri kechꞌaw pa hebreo man katzꞌaqat ta ri kiwa.
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.
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ ri e kabꞌlajuj tijoxelabꞌ xeꞌkimulij konojel ri kojonelabꞌ, xkibꞌij chike: Uj, uj taqoꞌn rech ri Dios, ri qachak are utzijoxik xuqujeꞌ ukꞌutik ri utzij ri Dios, man are ta ri ujachik ri wa.
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;
Qachalal, chitzukuj wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl. Ri kenimax kumal ri winaq, ri kꞌo ri Uxlabꞌixel pa kanimaꞌ xuqujeꞌ kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, are waꞌ kekanajik chubꞌanik we patanijik riꞌ.
4 But, we, unto prayer and unto the ministry of the word, will give constant attention.
Rajawaxik chi ri uj, ri uj taqoꞌn are kaqilij ubꞌanik ri chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ kaqaya ri kꞌutuꞌn rech ri utzij ri Dios.
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;
Utz xkita konojel ri xbꞌix chike xeꞌkichaꞌ kꞌu ri Esteban (jun achi ri kꞌo nimalaj ukojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ nojinaq che ri Uxlabꞌixel) xuqujeꞌ ri Felipe, ri Prócoro, ri Nicanor, ri Timón, ri Parmenas xuqujeꞌ ri Nicolás aj Antioquía, (are waꞌ ri xkojonik che ri kꞌutuꞌn ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel).
6 Whom they set before the Apostles, and, praying, they laid upon them their hands.
Aꞌre waꞌ ri wuqubꞌ achyabꞌ ri xekꞌam loq chikiwach ri uꞌtaqoꞌn ri Jesús, ri taqoꞌn xkiya kiqꞌabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri xeꞌkichaꞌo xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌan chꞌawem.
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.
Xjabꞌun kꞌu ubꞌixik ri utzij ri Dios rumal riꞌ xekꞌiyar ri e kojonelabꞌ pa Jerusalén, xuqujeꞌ xekojon e kꞌi pareyibꞌ xuqujeꞌ winaq aꞌj Israel.
8 Now, Stephen, full of favour and power, began to do great wonders and signs among the people.
Ri Esteban nojinaq che tewechibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ukwinem ri Dios xubꞌan mayijabꞌal taq jastaq kukꞌ ri winaq.
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;
Jun qꞌijal kꞌut jujun achyabꞌ aꞌj Israel ri kepe pa ri tinimit Cirene, pa Alejandría, xuqujeꞌ pa Cilicia rech Asia ri kebꞌe pa ri Sinagoga ubꞌiꞌnam patanijelabꞌ ri e tzoqopitalik. Xkichapleꞌj ukꞌululaꞌxik uwach ri utzij ri Esteban.
10 And they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking,
Man kꞌo ta kꞌu jun chike xuchꞌek ri etaꞌmabꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri kwinem ri kꞌo rukꞌ ri Esteban are kachꞌawik.
11 Then, they set on men who were saying—We have heard him speaking profane things against Moses and God.
Xaq jeriꞌ xkikoj kikꞌuꞌx jujun achyabꞌ rech kakibꞌij chi xkita ri Esteban chi xubꞌij awas taq tzij che ri Moisés xuqujeꞌ che ri Dios.
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.
Ri winaq are xkita we tzij riꞌ xyakataj koyawal, ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe, xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik xkichap ri Esteban xkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri qꞌatal taq tzij.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said—This man, ceaseth not speaking things against this holy place and the law;
Xeꞌkimok winaq rech kakibꞌan bꞌanoj tzij kakibꞌij: We achi riꞌ kubꞌij awas taq tzij che ri Templo xuqujeꞌ che ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
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.
Qatom kubꞌij chi ri Jesús aj Nazaret kutukij na ri Templo xuqujeꞌ kukꞌex na ronojel ri ukꞌutum kan ri Moisés chiqawach.
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;
Ri qꞌatal taq tzij ko xkikaꞌyej ri Esteban rumal chi ri upalaj xuchapleꞌj chuplinem jetaq kubꞌan ri upalaj jun ángel.
