< Acts 6 >

1 Now in those days, the disciples being multiplied, there developed a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily assistance.
A wadannan kwanaki, yawan almajiran ya ci gaba da ribanbanya, sai Yahudawan da suke zama a kasar Helanawa suka fara gunaguni game da Yahudawan Isra'ila, domin basu damu da gwamrayensu, wajen raba abinci da ake yi kullum.
2 And the twelve, having summoned the multitude of the disciples, they said, It is not right for us, having left the word of God behind, to serve tables.
Manzannin nan sha biyu suka kira taron almajiran suka ce masu, ''Bai kamata mu bar maganar Allah mu shiga hidimar rabon abinci ba.
3 Therefore, brothers, seek ye out seven men from you being well reported, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this need.
Don haka ku zabi 'yan'uwa maza daga cikinku, mutane bakwai wadanda a ke ganin su da daraja, cike da Ruhu da kuma hikima, wadanda za mu zaba suyi wannan hidima.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the service of the word.
Mu kuwa mu ci gaba da da addu'a da kuma hidimar kalmar.''
5 And the word was pleasing before all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte, a citizen of Antioch,
Maganar su kuwa ta farantawa dukan jama'a rai sosai. Sai suka zabi Istifanus, shi kuwa mutum ne cike da bangaskiya kuma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki da Filibus, da Birokoros, da Nikanar, da Timan, da Barminas, da kuma Nikolas, mutmin Antakiya wanda ya yi tuban Yahudanci.
6 men whom they placed before the apostles. And having prayed, they laid hands upon them.
Masu bin kuwa suka gabatar da wadannan mutanen a gaban manzannin, su kuwa suka yi masu addu'a suka kuma dora hannuwansu a kansu.
7 And the word of God increased, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a large company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Sai maganar Allah ta yawaita; yawan almajiran kuwa ya rubanbanya matuka a Urushalima; firistoci da yawa na Yahudawa suka bada gaskiya.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
Sai Istifanus, cike da alheri da iko, ya rika yin ayyukan ban mamaki da alamu a cikin jama'a.
9 But some of those from the synagogue called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up disputing with Stephen.
Amma sai ga wadansu mutane daga wata majami'a da ake kira majami'ar Yantattu, wato su Kuramiyawa da Iskandariyawa, da kuma wasu daga kasar Kilikiya da Asiya. Wadannan mutanen kuwa suna muhawara da Istifanus.
10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke.
Amma suka kasa yin tsayayya da Istifanus, saboda irin hikima da Ruhun da Istifanus ya ke magana da shi.
11 Then they instigated men who said, We have heard him speaking blasphemous sayings against Moses and God.
Sai a asirce suka zuga wasu mutane su je su ce, ''Ai munji Istifanus yana maganganun sabo game da Musa da kuma Allah.''
12 And they incited the people, and the elders, and the scholars. And after approaching, they seized him, and brought him to the council.
Sai suka zuga mutanen, har da dattawa da marubuta suka tunkari Istifanus, suka kama shi, suka kawo shi gaban majalisa.
13 And they put forward false witnesses who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous sayings against the holy place, and the law.
Suka kawo masu shaidar karya suka ce, ''Wannan mutumin har yanzu bai dena maganganun gaba akan wannan wuri mai tsarki da kuma shari'a ba.
14 For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.
Domin kuwa mun ji shi, yana cewa wannan Yesu Banazarat zai rushe wannan wuri zai kuma canza al'adun da muka gada daga wurin Musa.''
15 And all who sat in the council, having gazed upon him, saw his face like a face of an agent.
Dukan wadanda suke zaune a majalisar suka zuba masa ido, sai suka ga fuskarsa kamar ta mala'ika.
