Nchito 6
1 Lino kumazubayo nobakali kuyabuvula basikwiiya ba Giliki bakatalisya kutongawukila ba Hebbulayo, nkambo bamukabafu bakuli mbabo bakatongawuka amakani azyakulya nzibakali kupewa buzuba abuzuba zyakuliwasya.
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 Balikkumi ababili bakayita basikwiiya boonse mubwiingi bwabo babambila kuti, “Tachili chibotu kuti iswebo tuleke ijwi lya Leza nkambo kamakani azyakulya.
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 Aboobo bakwesu mulelede kusala balumi bali musanu ababili akati kanu. Balumi bali ampuwo mbotu, bazwide Muuya usalala antomwe awabusono, abo mbitutabike mumulimu oyu.
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 Kwalo iswebo, tulinkilila kunembo lyonse akukomba akukambawuka ijwi lya Leza.”
And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde.
5 Eno ijwi lyabo lyakabotezya nkamu yabantu boonse. Aboobo bakasala Sitivini mwalumi uzwide lusyomo alimwi a Muuya Uusalala, a Filipi, a Pulokkolasi, Nikkanoli, Tayimoni, Pamenasi, antomwe a Nikkolasi, mukombi wachi Juda wakali kuzwa ku Antiyokki.
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 Basyomi bakabayimika balumi aba kumawulu abatumwa, mpawonya bakabakombela alimwi bakabikka manza alimbabo.
Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on them.
7 Elyo ijwi lya Leza lyakayinkilila kunembo aboobo basikwiiya bakavulisya mu Jelusalemu ababo bapayizi bayingi bakali bombya akusyoma.
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 Lino Sitivini kazwide luzyalo anguzu, wakali kuchita zigambyo zipati azitondezyo akati kabantu.
Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Pesi bakanyampuka bamwi bantu baku chikombelo chaambwa kuti nchikombelo cha Fulidimeni, wakuba Sayilini akuba Alekizandiliya, antomwe abamwi bazwaku Silisiya aku Eziya. Aba bantu bakali kukazyania a Sitivini.
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 Pesi tebakalikwe nguzu pe zyakukazyania abusongo a muuya walikwambula muli Sitivini.
But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake.
11 Mpawo bakapa bamwi balumi masinkamulomo kabati, “Twakamumvwa ulamba majwi akusampawula Mozesi alimwi kambula bubi atala a Leza.”
Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God.
12 Bakasungilizya bantu abapati, abalembi bayinka, bamujata Sitivini bamweta kulubeta.
Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill,
13 Bakeeta bakamboni basikubeja, kabamba kabati, “Oyu mwalumi taleki pe kusampawula busena obu busalala amulawu.
And set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place, and the Law.
14 Nkambo twakamumvwa kaamba kuti Jesu waku Nazaleta uyobumwaya busena obu, asandule ziyanza zyakatupa Mozesi.
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 Boonse bakakkede mulubeta bakamulangisisya, babona busyu bwakwe bwasanduka bwaba mbuli busyu bwamungelo.
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.
