Acts 6
1 And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
Ivei am law ham se, axüisawe nung law u lü, Krik ngthu pyenki Judahe ja Judah ngthu pyenkie cun mtumbäkie. Krik ngthu pyenkie naw kami hmeinue ngcawn ami teyet üng ami jah hawih u ni ami ti.
2 Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
Acunüng, a ngsä xaleinghngihe naw jumki khyange avan ja khü u lü “Pamhnama ngthu pyen, hawih u lü ngui xüia phäh kami bi hin am daw ve.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Acunakyase, ka püie, nami ksunga Ngmüimkhya ja themnak am bekia khyang khyüh xü ua, amimi cun ahin, khut na khaiea kami ja mcawn khai;
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
kamimäta, ktaiyünak ja ngthu pyennaka khutbi akcün täse kami bi khai” ami ti.
5 And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.
Acuna ngthu naw avan cun a jah jesak; acunüng, jumeinak ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am beki Stephen, Philip, Pyakhaw, Nikanor, Tihmon, Parmenah, ja khyangmjükce Judahea jumnak üng ngpyawtki Antiok üngka Nikolah cun ami jah xü.
6 These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
Acune cun Ngsäea hmaia ja ngdüisak u se, Ngsäe naw ami kut taih u lü ami jah ktaiyü pet.
7 And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.
Acunüng, Pamhnama ngthu cun hnün khawha üng pha hü se; Jerusalema axüisawe aktäa nung law dämdämkie. Acunüng, ktaiyüe üngkae khawha naw jumnak yahkie.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
Acunüng, Stephen cun Mhnama dawkyanak ja johit am be lü khyangea veia cäicatnake ja müncamkse jah pawhki.
9 Now there arose some of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Acunsepi, khyang avang, “Sinakok üngka mpya kläte” ami ti cun Kurinih hnea Judahe, Aleksandria hnea Judahe, Kilikih hnea khyange, Asah hnea khyange naw lawsih u lü Stephen cun ami ngcuh lawpüi.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
Acunsepi, Ngmüimkhyaa pet themnaka phäh Stephen ngthu a pyen üng am näng khawh u.
11 Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
Acunüng, khyange ami hlei pyen khaiea; acune naw, “Mosi ja Pamhnam jah kpetnaka ngthu pyen se kami ngjaki” ami ti vaia ami jah kcük.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
Acunüng, khyange cun, angvaie ja thum ksinge ami jah ksük, ami mlungso law lü, Stephen cun man u lü kawngcia ami cehpüi u.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
Acunüng, ami hlei pyen khaiea ja ksük u se; acune naw, “Hin naw, hina ngcimcaihkia Temple ja Mosia Thum ja kse naki;
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us.
Hina Nazaret Jesuh naw hina Temple phyeh lü Mosi naw a jah peta thume jah nglatsak khaia a pyen kami ngjaki ni” ami ti.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
Acunüng, Kawngci üng ngawki he naw Stephen cun bükteng u lü, a hmai cun khankhawngsäa hmaia mäiha ami hmuh.
