And in those dayes, as the nomber of ye disciples grewe, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards ye Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the dayly ministring.
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 twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayd, It is not meete that we should leaue the worde of God to serue the 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, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, and full of the holy Ghost, and of wisedome, which we may appoint to this busines.
4 Anita um mbu, ki kri nitu bre mba ndu tsro lan tre Irjhi.
And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde.
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 pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen a man full of fayth and of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia,
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.
Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on 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 worde of God increased, and the nomber of the disciples was multipled in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith.
8 Zizan, Istifanus wa alheni mba gbengble ahe wu suron a si ti kikle kpi ni shishi ndhi ba.
Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles 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
Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steuen.
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.
But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake.
11 ki wo Istifanus a sia tre lan wu mmre Musa mba Rjhi”.
Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God.
12 Ba chon ndhiba, ni datibe, bahabi nha (Scribes) mle ba wa Istifanus hi nda jiwu ye ni bi niko ni tra sonmba.
Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill,
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 set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this 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 haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gaue vs.
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 as all that sate in the Councill, looked stedfastly on him, they saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.
