< 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.
mor kumeniwo kilaka bibei tomange yoktenti la yafudawa yim biten Elenawa cin ter fuenna dor Yafudawa Israila wori ci cuwa bo tu kange natub buneb cibo, fiye kabkanka carik kabkangti kir-kireu.
2 The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Kwob chilombo yobeu cho bibei tomangeu kila kila cinen la yici yorbo dubom nangen kwamar na yila kabkanka carik.
3 Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
La nyeu ko chok nubo niber na barubbo more kume, nubo ki ciniyeu din kiyuwa tangbe, kange nyonka, buro ba yotenti dor nangenero weu.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
ka nyeu, kwobka dilo kange tokka kerek ceko kir-kir.
5 These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
Ker chiyero lom nubo nen gwam, la ci chok Istifanus nii dim ki bilenkere, kange yuwa tangbe kwamak, kange Filibus, kange Prochorus, kange Nicanor, kange Timon, kange Parmenas, kange Nicolaus nii Antakiya wo ma yiloka Yahudanci yeu.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Nubo ne bilenkereu bou ki nubo buro kabum nob tomangeb, la kwob cinen dilo ci yo cinen
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
La ke kwamaro yoten kang ti wai, la kilaka bibei tomangeu wursalima yokten ducce, la nob wabebo ducce yilam nob neka duwek fiye bilenkero wiyeu.
8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
La Istifanus dim ki luma kange bikwan ma diker nyumankar ti kange diker yiromer mor nobe.
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.
La kangen nob kweni wo na bi kur wabero ce, choti bi kur waber cerka, wo kuramiyawa kange Iskandariyawa, kange biten kili kiya, kange Asiya. Nubo buro kwob kangi kange Istifanus,
10 They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
La cin mani kibi kwan ker nyomkar kange yuwa tangbe ko Istifanus tokkero ti cikeu.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
La yurangum yurange ci bol nubo ya a tok ki, Nyo nuwa Istifanus tok keti dila kati dor Musa kange kwama.
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
Cin bol nubo durko kange nob mulankabor, lan cin lam bidom kange Istifanus cintam cho, cin bou ki cho kabum nob dirlorem.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
Chin borangu ki nob warker cuiker, wo toke, nii wo dobbo tokka kereko bwir dor fiye wucakkewo, kange werfuner.
14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”
La nyon nuwa chon toki Yesu wo najaret reu an wurongum fiye wo na fulongum dam Musam bo dob bineneu.
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Nubo gwam yim dir loro neneu yo cinenten nuwe ciyero La chin toh tikob cebou na tikob bibei tomange wucakkeu.
