Acts 6
1 In now days these when are multiplying the disciples there arose a grumbling of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because were being overlooked in the distribution daily the widows of them.
Na i aua ra, i te mea ka tokomaha haere nga akonga ka amuamu nga Hurai Kariki ki nga Hiperu, no te mea i mahue o ratou pouaru i nga tuwhanga mea o tenei ra, o tenei ra.
2 Having called near then the Twelve the multitude of the disciples they said; Not desirable it is [for] us having neglected the word of God to attend at tables.
Katahi ka karangatia e te tekau ma rua te mano o nga akonga, ka mea, E kore e pai kia whakarerea e matou te kupu a te Atua, a kia mahi tepu.
3 do select (therefore, *N+kO) brothers, men out from yourselves being well attested seven full of [the] Spirit (Holy *K) and wisdom whom (we will appoint *NK+o) over task this;
No reira, e nga teina, tirohia mai i roto i a koutou kia tokowhitu nga tangata e korerotia paitia ana, e ki ana i te Wairua Tapu, i te matauranga, a ma matou ratou e whakatu ki tenei mahi.
4 We ourselves now in the prayer and in the ministry of the word will steadfastly continue.
Ko matou ia ka u tonu ki te inoi, ki te mahi i te kupu.
5 And pleased the statement before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man (full *N+kO) of faith and [of the] Spirit holy, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas a convert of Antioch,
A pai katoa te mano ki taua korero: na whiriwhiria ana e ratou a Tepene, he tangata e ki ana i te whakapono, i te Wairua Tapu, ratou ko Piripi, ko Porokoru, ko Nikanora, ko Timona, ko Paramena, ko Nikora, he porohiraiti no Anatioka:
6 whom they set before the apostles, and having prayed they laid on them the hands.
Na whakaturia ana ratou ki te aroaro o nga apotoro: ka inoi era, ka whakapa i nga ringa ki runga ki a ratou.
7 And the word of God was increasing, and was multiplied the number of the disciples in Jerusalem exceedingly, a great then multitude of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.
Heoi tupu ana te kupu a te Atua: tino nui haere ana te tokomaha o nga akonga i Hiruharama; a he ope nui o nga tohunga i tahuri mai ki te whakapono.
8 Stephen now full (of grace *N+KO) and power was performing wonders and signs great among the people.
A, ko Tepene, ki tonu i te whakapono, i te mana, nui atu nga merekara me nga tohu i meatia e ia i roto i te iwi.
9 Arose however certain of those from the synagogue which is being named Freedmen including Cyrenians and Alexandrians and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen;
Na ka whakatika etahi o te whakaminenga, e kiia nei ko te whakaminenga o nga Riperetini, etahi hoki o te whakaminenga o te hunga o Hairini, o te hunga o Arehanaria, o te hunga hoki o Kirikia, o Ahia, ka totohe ki a Tepene.
10 And not they were able to withstand against the wisdom and against the Spirit by whom he was speaking.
Otira kihai i taea e ratou te tu atu ki tona matauranga me te wairua i korero ai ia.
11 Then they suborned men saying that We have heard when he is speaking declarations blasphemous against Moses and God;
Na ka whakakiki ratou i etahi tangata hei mea, I rongo matou i a ia e korero kohukohu ana mo Mohi, mo te Atua ano hoki.
12 They stirred up then the people and the elders and the scribes, and having come upon [him] they seized him and they brought [him] to the Council,
Na ka tahuri ratou ki te whakaohooho i te iwi, i nga kaumatua, me nga karaipi hoki, na ka mau ia ia ratou, hopukia ana, kawea atu ana ki te runanga;
13 They set also witnesses false saying; man This not does stop speaking declarations (blasphemous *K) against the place holy this and the law;
A whakaturia ana e ratou etahi kaiwhakapae teka, nana i mea, Kahore e mutu te korero kino a tenei tangata mo tenei kainga tapu, mo te ture hoki:
14 we have heard for him saying that Jesus of Nazareth this will destroy place this and will change the customs that delivered to us Moses.
I rongo hoki matou ki a ia e mea ana, Ma tenei Ihu o Nahareta e whakangaro te kainga nei, e whakaputa ke hoki nga ritenga i homai e Mohi ki a tatou.
15 And having looked intently on him (all *N+kO) those sitting in the Council saw the face of him as [the] face of an angel.
A, ko te hunga katoa e noho ana i te runanga, ka titiro pu ki a ia, ka kite i tona mata, ano he mata no te anahera.
