Acts 6
1 But in those days, the disciples multiplying in number, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews because their widows were overlooked in the daily ministration.
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 And the twelve, having called the multitude of the disciples to [them], said, It is not right that we, leaving the word of God, should 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 Look out therefore, brethren, from among yourselves seven men, well reported of, full of [the] [Holy] Spirit and wisdom, whom we will establish 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 give ourselves up to prayer and the ministry of the word.
Twenga, kumbiti, hatushuguliki na sala na lihengu lya kubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu.”
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and [the] Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, 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; and, having prayed, they laid their hands on them.
Wawatula kulongolu kwa ntumintumi, nawomberi wawaluwira na kuwatulira mawoku.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was very greatly multiplied, and a great crowd of the priests obeyed 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 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought wonders and great signs among the people.
Mlungu kamupananiti Stefanu manemu gavuwa, kampanana likakala livuwa ata kawera kankutenda mauzauza na makangashu pakati pa wantu.
9 And there arose up certain of those of the synagogue called of freedmen, and of Cyrenians, and of Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, 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 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Kumbiti wasinditi kumkanga toziya ya luhala lwakuwi na toziya ya ulii Rohu yakamlongoziyiti shipindi pakatakuliti.
11 Then they suborned men, saying, We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.
Hangu wawahongiti wantu wamu watakuli, “tumpikinira Stefani pakatakula shisoweru sha kumwigira Musa na kumwigira Mlungu.”
12 And they roused the people, and the elders, and the scribes. And coming upon [him] they seized him and brought [him] to the council.
Ntambu ayi, wasonguziyiti wantu, wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru. Su, wamwizira Stefani, wambata na kumjega kulongolu Kushizyungu shikulu.
13 And they set false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against the 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 saying, This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses taught us.
Toziya tumpikiniriti kala pakatakula eti Yesu ayu gwa Nazareti hakapahalibisii nakamu pahala panu na kuwusilira kutali ntambu zilii zyatwangiti kulawa kwa Musa.”
15 And all who sat in the council, looking fixedly on him, saw his face as [the] face of an angel.
Woseri yawaweriti mushikawu sha Shizyungu wamloliti dii Stefani, washiwona sheni shakuwi handa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi.
