Matendo ya Mitume 6
1 Henu katika magono agha, idadi jhe bhanafunzi jhijhogeseka, lalamiko lya bhayahudi bha kiyunani lyajhandili dhidi jha Baebrania kwa ndabha bhajane bha bhene bhajhela bhiyebhelibhwa mu mgao bhwa khila ligono bhwa kyakulya.
NOW in those days, when the disciples were multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian proselytes against the Hebrews, because their widows were overlooked in the daily distribution.
2 Mitume kumi ni bhabhele bhabhakutili kusanyiku lyoha lya bhanafunzi ni kujobha, “Sahihi lepi kwa tete kulileka lilobhi lya K'yara ni kuhudumila pa meza.
Then the twelve assembling the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not fit that we should leave the word of God, to make distribution to the tables.
3 Kwa hiyo ndongo, muchagulayi bhagosi saba, kuhomela miongoni mwa muenga bhanu bhema, bhabhamemili roho ni hekima ambabho twibhwesya kubhakabidhi huduma ejhe.
Therefore, brethren, do ye look out for seven men from among yourselves, the best approved, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint to superintend this business.
4 Ni tete tubeta kujhendelela mu maombi ni mu huduma jha lilobhi.”
But we will devote ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 Hotuba jha bhene jhabhupendisi mkutano bhuoha. Hivyo bhakan'chagula stefano, munu jha ojhe ni imani ni Roho mtakatifu, ni Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, na Nikolai, mwongofu kuhoma Antiokia.
And this saying was very agreeable to all the multitude: and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas a proselyte a man of Antioch:
6 Bhaumini bhabhaletili bhanu abha mbele jha bhamitume, bhabhas'okili ni baadaye bhada bhabhekela mabhoko gha bhene.
whom they presented before the apostles: and having prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
7 Hivyo, lilobhi lya K'yara liaenili ni idadi jhe bhanafunzi, jhajhongesiki, okho Yerusalemu; ni idadi mbaha jha makuhani bhakaitii imani.
And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 Ni Stefano, jhaamemili neema ni nghofu, akifanya maajabu ni ishara mbaha miongoni mwa bhanu.
Now Stephen, full of faith and of power, wrought great miracles and signs among the people.
9 Lakini apu bhajhinuiki baadhi jha bhanu bhafuasi bha sinagogi lya likutibhweghe sinagogi lya mahuru, ni la Bhakerene ni la Bhaeskandaria, ni baadhi kuhoma Kilikia ni Asia. Bhanu abha bha jhele bhihojiana ni Stefano.
Then rose up certain men of the synagogue of the freed-men, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 Lakini bbwabhwesilepi kusindana ni hekima sya Roho ambajho Stefano ajhe itumila mu malongesi.
And they could not resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.
11 Kisha bhabhashawishi baadhi jha bhanu kwa siri kujobha, “Tup'eliki Stefano ilongela malobhi gha kufuru dhidi jha Musa ni dhidi jha K'yara.”
Then they suborned men to say, We heard him speak blasphemous things against Moses, and against God.
12 Bhabhashurutishi bhanu, bhaseya, ni bhaandishi, ni kun'dotela Stefano bhakan'kamula ni kundeta mbele jha baraza.
And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and coming upon him, they seized him together, and dragged him to the sanhedrim;
13 Bhakabhaleta mashahidi bha bhudesi, bhabhajobhili, “Munu ojho ilekalepi kujobha malobhi manofulepi dhidi jha lieneo ele takatifu ni sheria.
and they set up false witnesses, saying, This man doth not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 Kwani tup'eliki ijobha kujha ojho Yesu ghwa Nazareth ibeta kupa haribu mahali apa ni kusibadilisya desturi sya tukabisibhu ni Musa.”
for we have heard him affirm, that Jesus the Nazarean, even he, will destroy this place, and change the accustomed ordinances which Moses delivered to us.
15 Khila mmonga jha ajhe mu baraza, akajhelekesya mihu gha muene kundanga Stefano, nabhane bhakaubhona uso bhwa muene bhwajhele kama bhwa malaika.
And fixing their eyes upon him, all who sat in the sanhedrim, beheld his face as the face of an angel.
