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 during those days, the disciples multiplying, there was a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, that their widows were being 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.
And the twelve calling to them the multitude of the disciples, said, It is not pleasing that we, leaving the word of God, 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.
But brethren, look out seven men from you of good report, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint over this interest;
4 Anita um mbu, ki kri nitu bre mba ndu tsro lan tre Irjhi.
and we will give our attention to prayer and 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 word was pleasing before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas,
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.
the Antiochian proselyte, whom they placed before the apostles, and having prayed, they placed 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 word of God increased, and the number of the disciples multiplied exceedingly in Jerusalem, and a great multitude of the priests were obedient unto 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 power, was doing 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
And certain ones of the synagogues, called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up 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 spirit with which he was speaking.
11 ki wo Istifanus a sia tre lan wu mmre Musa mba Rjhi”.
Then they bribed men, saying, that we have heard him speaking words blasphemous 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.
And they excited the people and the elders and scribes, and coming upon him, seized him, and led him into 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 raised up false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words 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 have heard him saying, that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and change the customs 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 sitting in the council, having fixed their eyes on him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
