Acts 6
1 In those days when the disciples were increasing in number, the Grecian Jews among them began to grumble against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
Itungili mu mahiku aya, matungo i ngele a amanyisigwa nai ikatulaa i kongeeleka, u witushi nua Ayahudi nia ki Yunani ai landilye ku a Ebrania, kunsoko ahimbi ao ai atulaa akiwa mu womolang'yi nua kila luhiku nua ndya.
2 So the Twelve summoned all the disciples and said, “It is unacceptable for us to neglect the word of God in order to wait on tables.
Itumi ikumi na abiili ai aitangile u milundo wihi nua amanyisigwa nu kuligitya, “Shanga iziza kita itu kululeka u lukani nulang'wa Itunda nu kua aiilya mu meza.
3 Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will appoint this responsibility to them
Ku lulo anyandugu, holang'yi, agoha mupungati, kupuma mukati anyu, antu akende, ni izue u Ng'wau Ng'welu nua upolo, naza kuhumile kuinkiilya u uailya uwu.
4 and will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Nu sese, ku ulongoleka ikali kulompa nu mu uailya nua lukani.
5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as well as Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
Uganuli nuao ukaliloeelya ianza lihi. Iti gwa ikamuholania uStefano, muntu nuizuee uhuiili nu Ng'wau Ng'welu, nu Filipo, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, nu Nikolao, muokole kupuma ku Antiokia.
6 They presented these seven to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
Ahuiili ai a aletile i antu awa ntongeela a itumi, nai alompile ni panyambele aka aikiilya i mikono ao.
7 So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem grew rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith.
Iti gwa, lukani nulang'wa Itunda likenela; ni ngele a amanyisigwa ai ikiile kongeeleka uko ku Yerusalemu; ni ngele nkulu a akuhani aka ukulya u uhuiili.
8 Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
Nu Stefano, nai wizuee u ukende ni ngulu, ai watulaa ukituma ukuilwa ni ilingasiilyo ikulu mukati ao mu antu.
9 But resistance arose from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and men from the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. They began to argue with Stephen,
Kuiti pang'wanso akanyansuka ang'wi ao a antu atyatiili itekeelo ni litangwaa itekeelo nila Mahulu, ni la a Kirene hangi la Aesksnderia, ni ang'wi kupuma ku Kilikia ni Asia. Antu awa ai atulaa akikolenkeelya nu Stefano
10 but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.
Kuiti, shanga ai ahumile ki kilya nu upolo nua Ng'wau Ng'welu naiza uStefano ai watulaa ukutumila mu witambuili.
11 Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”
Uugwa ai uapembeseeye ang'wi a antu ku kinkunku kuligitya, “Kigulye uStefano ukuligitya makani a kimeli kung'wa Musa ni kung'wa Itunda.”
12 So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,
Ai a asingilye i antu, anyampala, ni amanyi, nu kumuhanga uStefano, akamuamba, nu kumuleta ntongeela i anza,
13 where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.
aka aleta ia kuiili nia uteele, azeligitya, “umuntu uyu shanga ukuleka kitunta i makani ni mabii ku kianza iki ni kelu ni ilagiilyo.
14 For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
Ku iti kumigulye ukuligitya kina uyu uYesu nua ku Nazareti ukubipya i nkika apa nu kuikaila i ntendo nai kinkiigwe nu Musa.”
15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
Kila ung'wi nai ukoli mi ananza, akatunja i miho akwe kumugozeela uStefano, ni enso akihenga u usu nuakwe ai watulaa anga usu wang'wa malaika.
