Acts 6
1 In those days, as the number of disciples was increasing, there occurred a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, because their widows were treated with disdain in the daily ministration.
Zizan ni vi biyi, wa mir ko bi hua, ba si ye ni bran Yahuda wa bi wo helenanci bi nji yiye nitu bi Ibrini yawaba, ahdi bana mla niya mmba be k'po ni zo wa ba yi bawu chachuna.
2 And so the twelve, calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: “It is not fair for us to leave behind the Word of God to serve at tables also.
don ha'a ba yo kpaa mir ko ba nda tre ndi “Ana bi du ta ka tsro lan tre Irjhi chuwo ni k'ma ki ta ga biri na.
3 Therefore, brothers, search among yourselves for seven men of good testimony, filled with the Holy Spirit and with wisdom, whom we may appoint over this work.
Nitu kima, bika chu, ndi tamgban ni mimbi, indhi wa ndi ba kpanyme ni ba u ba he ni rhuhu mba mre wuto ndindi, ni chuba yo ni ndu yi.
4 Yet truly, we will be continually in prayer and in the ministry of the Word.”
Anita um mbu, ki kri nitu bre mba ndu tsro lan tre Irjhi.
5 And the plan pleased the entire multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and with the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas, a new arrival from Antioch.
I tre mba a bi wo ni kpaandhi ba wawu. Niki ba chu Istifanus, ndhi wa a shu ni suron gbangban ni nkon Rjhi, mba ni Ruhu Tsatra, u Filibus, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Pamenas, mba Nicolaus ndhi wu Antioch, wa a kpanyme n'dani hu Rjhi bibi wu Yahudawaba.
6 These they set before the sight of the Apostles, and while praying, they imposed hands on them.
Bi wa ba kpanyme niwu'a ba nji ndhi biyi ye ni shishi ba manzaniba, u ba bre Rjhi nibawu nda sa wo ni tu mba.
7 And the Word of the Lord was increasing, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied exceedingly. And even a large group of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Niki u tre Rjhi a si bwu kagon U mir ko ni Urishilima ba si bran kpukpome. U Prist gbugbuu ba kpa trea nda hu ni gbengble suron.
8 Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
Zizan, Istifanus wa alheni mba gbengble ahe wu suron a si ti kikle kpi ni shishi ndhi ba.
9 But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
Ama Ndhi bari ba rhuki rhi ni haikali'a wa ba yo ndi Haikali wu bi wa ba chubachuwo, rhi ni Cyrenians mba Alexandrians, ni basi rhi ni Cilicia mba Asia. Ndhi biyi ba si a sen nyk ni Istifanus
10 But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
Ama bana to kri nda ti kpe zan iri hikima mba iri ruhu wa Istifanus tre'a na. Mle ba lunde le nyu bari ni du ba tre ndi.
11 Then they suborned men who were to claim that they had heard him speaking words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
ki wo Istifanus a sia tre lan wu mmre Musa mba Rjhi”.
12 And thus did they stir up the people and the elders and the scribes. And hurrying together, they seized him and brought him to the council.
Ba chon ndhiba, ni datibe, bahabi nha (Scribes) mle ba wa Istifanus hi nda jiwu ye ni bi niko ni tra sonmba.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law.
Ba nji bi che du ba lha ndi ba wa to ni shishinda wa ni tonmba kpiwa ba bla sa niwu'a. Ba tre ndi iguyi na donme ni tre lan meme nitu tsatsra bubuyi mba doka Rjhi na.
14 For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.”
Nikima, ki wo-u a tre ndi Yesu wu Na'zarat yi, ani zi bubuyi, nda k'ma njo Musa wa a yo nda ka nuta duta ki hu'a sran.
15 And all those who were sitting in the council, gazing at him, saw his face, as if it had become the face of an Angel.
Ko nha wa a son ni tra son bi ninko a sru shishi ni wu nda to shishima a k'ma rhu wu malaika.
