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.
Now, in these days, the number of the disciples being multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists that is, Jews who used the Greek language against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministrations.
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, having called the multitude of the disciples together, said, It is by no means agreeable, that we should leave the word of God to attend 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.
therefore, brethren, look out from among yourselves seven men of an attested character, full of spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this business;
4 Anita um mbu, ki kri nitu bre mba ndu tsro lan tre Irjhi.
we will constantly attend 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 speech was pleasing to all the multitude, and they elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nichanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicholas, 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.
whom they presented before the Apostles; and they, having prayed, laid 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 grew; and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was greatly multiplied; and a great multitude of the priests became obedient to 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, wrought many miracles, and great 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
Then there arose some of the synagogue, which is called that of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them 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 spirit with which he spoke.
11 ki wo Istifanus a sia tre lan wu mmre Musa mba Rjhi”.
Then they suborned men to say, We heard him speak reproachful words 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 elders, and the scribes, and setting upon him, they dragged him away with them, and brought him to the Sanhedrim.
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 is incessantly speaking 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 say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change its customs, which Moses delivered to 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 Sanhedrim, fixing their eyes upon him, saw his countenance like the countenance of an angel.
