Ndu Manzaniba 6
1 Zizan ni vi biyi, wa mir ko bi hua, ba si ye ni bran Yahuda wa bi wo helenanci bi nji yiye nitu bi Ibrini yawaba, ahdi bana mla niya mmba be k'po ni zo wa ba yi bawu chachuna.
And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 don ha'a ba yo kpaa mir ko ba nda tre ndi “Ana bi du ta ka tsro lan tre Irjhi chuwo ni k'ma ki ta ga biri na.
Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Nitu kima, bika chu, ndi tamgban ni mimbi, indhi wa ndi ba kpanyme ni ba u ba he ni rhuhu mba mre wuto ndindi, ni chuba yo ni ndu yi.
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 Anita um mbu, ki kri nitu bre mba ndu tsro lan tre Irjhi.
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 I tre mba a bi wo ni kpaandhi ba wawu. Niki ba chu Istifanus, ndhi wa a shu ni suron gbangban ni nkon Rjhi, mba ni Ruhu Tsatra, u Filibus, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Pamenas, mba Nicolaus ndhi wu Antioch, wa a kpanyme n'dani hu Rjhi bibi wu Yahudawaba.
And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.
6 Bi wa ba kpanyme niwu'a ba nji ndhi biyi ye ni shishi ba manzaniba, u ba bre Rjhi nibawu nda sa wo ni tu mba.
These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
7 Niki u tre Rjhi a si bwu kagon U mir ko ni Urishilima ba si bran kpukpome. U Prist gbugbuu ba kpa trea nda hu ni gbengble suron.
And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.
8 Zizan, Istifanus wa alheni mba gbengble ahe wu suron a si ti kikle kpi ni shishi ndhi ba.
And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
9 Ama Ndhi bari ba rhuki rhi ni haikali'a wa ba yo ndi Haikali wu bi wa ba chubachuwo, rhi ni Cyrenians mba Alexandrians, ni basi rhi ni Cilicia mba Asia. Ndhi biyi ba si a sen nyk ni Istifanus
Now there arose some of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 Ama bana to kri nda ti kpe zan iri hikima mba iri ruhu wa Istifanus tre'a na. Mle ba lunde le nyu bari ni du ba tre ndi.
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
11 ki wo Istifanus a sia tre lan wu mmre Musa mba Rjhi”.
Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
12 Ba chon ndhiba, ni datibe, bahabi nha (Scribes) mle ba wa Istifanus hi nda jiwu ye ni bi niko ni tra sonmba.
And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
13 Ba nji bi che du ba lha ndi ba wa to ni shishinda wa ni tonmba kpiwa ba bla sa niwu'a. Ba tre ndi iguyi na donme ni tre lan meme nitu tsatsra bubuyi mba doka Rjhi na.
And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
14 Nikima, ki wo-u a tre ndi Yesu wu Na'zarat yi, ani zi bubuyi, nda k'ma njo Musa wa a yo nda ka nuta duta ki hu'a sran.
For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us.
15 Ko nha wa a son ni tra son bi ninko a sru shishi ni wu nda to shishima a k'ma rhu wu malaika.
And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
