Acts 6
1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.
Pamberi, walanga ya wafundwa paweriti iyongerekiti, kulawiriti magugumiru pakati pa walongu yawayoweriti Shigiriki na walii yawayoweriti Shiebraniya. Walii yawayoweriti Shigiriki wagugumiliti handa wakenja wawu waweriti wankuwalyaluwa pakati ubagulira wa mafiru ga kila lishaka.
2 The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.
Hangu, wafundwa lilongu na wawili washemiti shipinga shoseri sha wafundwa, walonga, “iherepa ndiri twenga tuleki kushibwera shisoweru sha Mlungu su tugolokeri ubagulira wa nfiru.
3 Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Hangu, walongu wetu, msyaguli muwamu wenu wantu saba wana zyuma iherepa, wamemitwi na Rohu na wana luhala, na twenga hatuwapanani lihengu ali.
4 But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”
Twenga, kumbiti, hatushuguliki na sala na lihengu lya kubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu.”
5 These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,
Shitwatira ashi shiherepa kwa shipinga shoseri. Wawasagula stefanu, muntu yakawera na njimiru nkulu na kumema Rohu Mnanagala, Filipi na Prokoru na Nikanori na Timoni na Parimena na Nikolayi muntu gwa Antiokiya yomberi kwanja kaweriti mudini ya Shiyawudi.
6 whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Wawatula kulongolu kwa ntumintumi, nawomberi wawaluwira na kuwatulira mawoku.
7 The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Shisoweru sha Mlungu shiziditi kweneya na walanga ya wafundwa aku Yerusalemu iyongerekiti nentu, na shipinga shikulu sha watambika wa numba ya Mlungu waiyanka njimiru.
8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Mlungu kamupananiti Stefanu manemu gavuwa, kampanana likakala livuwa ata kawera kankutenda mauzauza na makangashu pakati pa wantu.
9 But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
Kumbiti wantu tunga walawira su walikakatali na Stefanu. Wantu wamu awa waweriti wa numba ya Mlungu yimu yaishemwa “Numba ya Mlungu ya wantu lekeru.” Nawomberi walawira Kureni na Alekizandiriya, wamonga walawira Kilikiya na Asiya.
10 They were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Kumbiti wasinditi kumkanga toziya ya luhala lwakuwi na toziya ya ulii Rohu yakamlongoziyiti shipindi pakatakuliti.
11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Hangu wawahongiti wantu wamu watakuli, “tumpikinira Stefani pakatakula shisoweru sha kumwigira Musa na kumwigira Mlungu.”
12 They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
Ntambu ayi, wasonguziyiti wantu, wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru. Su, wamwizira Stefani, wambata na kumjega kulongolu Kushizyungu shikulu.
13 and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
Wajegiti Pashizyungu wakapitawu wa mpaya weni watakuliti, “Muntu ayu kaleka ndiri kupayigira pahala panu pananagala na malagaliru ga Musa.
14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”
Toziya tumpikiniriti kala pakatakula eti Yesu ayu gwa Nazareti hakapahalibisii nakamu pahala panu na kuwusilira kutali ntambu zilii zyatwangiti kulawa kwa Musa.”
15 All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
Woseri yawaweriti mushikawu sha Shizyungu wamloliti dii Stefani, washiwona sheni shakuwi handa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi.
