Masengo 6
1 Kanyuma, winji wa ŵakulijiganya pawaliji nkonjecheka, kwatyochele kunyinyita mwa ŵakukulupilila ŵaŵaŵechetaga Chigiliki ni aŵala ŵaŵaŵechetaga Chiebulania. Aŵala ŵaŵaŵechetaga Chigiliki ŵanyinyitaga kuti achakongwe ŵa Chigiliki ŵaŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo, ŵaliŵalikwe kwagaŵila yakulya moŵa gose.
In now days these when are multiplying the disciples there arose a grumbling of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because were being overlooked in the distribution daily the widows of them.
2 Nipele, achinduna likumi ni ŵaŵili ŵala ŵauŵilasile mpingo wose wa ŵakulijiganya nikuti, “Ngaikuŵajilwa kuti tuleche kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu kuti tuŵeje ŵagaŵanya yakulya.
Having called near then the Twelve the multitude of the disciples they said; Not desirable it is [for] us having neglected the word of God to attend at tables.
3 Nipele achalongo achinjetu, mwasagule ŵandu nsano ni ŵaŵili ŵakumanyika kuti ali ni umboni ŵambone, ŵaagumbale Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni lunda ni uweji chitwape masengo go.
do select (therefore, *N(k)O*) brothers, men out from yourselves being well attested seven full of [the] Spirit (Holy *K*) and wisdom whom (we will appoint *NK(o)*) over task this;
4 Nambo uweji tutulimbichile nkupopela ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.”
We ourselves now in the prayer and in the ministry of the word will steadfastly continue.
5 Ngani jo jaanonyelesye mpingo wose wa ŵakukulupilila ŵala. Ni ŵaasagwile che Stefano jwagumbele chikulupi ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni che Filipo ni che Plokolo ni che Nikanoli ni che Timona ni che Pamena ni che Nikolau jwa ku Antiokia juŵajinjile dini ja Chiyahudi.
And pleased the statement before all the multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man (full *N(k)O*) of faith and [of the] Spirit holy, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas a convert of Antioch,
6 Ŵaajimiche mmbujo pa achinduna, nombewo ŵapopele ni kwasajichila makono gao.
whom they set before the apostles, and having prayed they laid on them the hands.
7 Ni liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyapundile kwenela, ni ku Yelusalemu ko winji wa ŵakukulupilila wajonjesyeche nnope, ni mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵambopesi ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
And the word of God was increasing, and was multiplied the number of the disciples in Jerusalem exceedingly, a great then multitude of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.
8 Akunnungu ŵapele che Stefano upile weujinji ni ukombole ni ŵapanganyaga imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yejinji pasikati ja ŵandu.
Stephen now full (of grace *N(K)O*) and power was performing wonders and signs great among the people.
9 Nambo ŵakopochele ŵandu achisakaga kutenda makani ni che Stefano. Ŵampepe mwa ŵandu wo ŵaliji ŵa nyuumba jimo ja kupopelela jajikuŵilanjikwa, “Nyuumba ja kupopelela ŵandu Hulu,” ni ŵandu wo ŵatyochelaga ku Kulene ni ku Alekisandilia ni ŵane kutyochela ku Kilikia ni ku Asia.
Arose however certain of those from the synagogue which is being named Freedmen including Cyrenians and Alexandrians and of those from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen;
10 Nambo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵampele che Stefano lunda, kwa yele nganakombolanga kumpunda paŵaŵechetaga.
And not they were able to withstand against the wisdom and against the Spirit by whom he was speaking.
11 Nipele ŵaonjile ŵandu ŵampepe aŵechete kuti, “Twampilikene che Stefano achiŵechetaga maloŵe ga kwatukana che Musa ni Akunnungu.”
Then they suborned men saying that We have heard when he is speaking declarations blasphemous against Moses and God;
12 Kwanti yeleyi, ŵaachisisye ŵandu ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa. Nipele, ŵankamwile che Stefano ni kunnyikanawo paujo pa Nkungulu wekulu.
They stirred up then the people and the elders and the scribes, and having come upon [him] they seized him and they brought [him] to the Council,
13 Ni ŵajimiche ŵaumboni ŵa unami ŵaŵatite, “Mundu ju ngaakuleka ng'o kujichembulusya Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jajiswela ji ni kugachembulusya Malajisyo.
They set also witnesses false saying; man This not does stop speaking declarations (blasphemous *K*) against the place holy this and the law;
14 Pakuŵa twampilikene achiŵechetaga kuti jwele Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti chajijonanje Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji ni kuchigalausya chisyoŵelo chiŵatupele che Musa.”
we have heard for him saying that Jesus of Nazareth this will destroy place this and will change the customs that delivered to us Moses.
15 Wose ŵaŵaliji pa Nkungulu ŵankolondolele che Stefano, ŵambweni ku meeso kwakwe kuli mpela ku meeso kwa katumetume jwa kwinani.
And having looked intently on him (all *N(k)O*) those sitting in the Council saw the face of him as [the] face of an angel.
