Acts 6
1 Now in those days, as the disciples were multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.
Lino mufighono ifi, unsiki ghwa kipugha kya vavulanesivua panokilyale kikwongelela, injeghelo jiiva Yahudi vaki Yunani jilyatenguile kange nava Ebrania, ulwakuva avafuile vavanave valyale vikuvashemua mulighavo lya jatu ilya kyakulia.
2 So summoning the multitude of the disciples the twelve said: “It is not advantageous that we should forsake the Word of God to serve at tables.
Avasung'ua kijigho na vavili valyavakemelile ilipugha lioni ilya vavulanisivua vakati, “Nalunofu kulyiusue kukulileta ilisio lya Nguluve nakutengelela pa meza.
3 Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we will appoint over this need.
Lino vanyalukolo, salula, avaghosi lekela lubale, kuhuma mun'kate muliumue, avanhu avahugu, vanovamemile uMhepo nhu wakyang'ani, vanotuvangile kukuvapela imbombo iji.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.”
Najusue, tughendelelaghe jatu pikufunya na mumbombo ijalisio.
5 The statement pleased the whole multitude; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholas, a proselyte from Antioch,
I hotuba jivanave jikalunoghile ulukong'ano luoni. Pa uluo vakansalula uSitefano, umunhu Juno aliya memile ulwitiko nhu Mhepo Mwimike, nhu Filipino, Prokoro, Nikanori, Timoni, Parmena, nhu Nikolao, umugholofu kuhuma Antiokia.
6 whom they set before the Apostles; and after praying they laid hands on them.
Avitiiki vakavaleta avanhu ava pa Maaso gha vasung'ua, vano valyavasumile pavulongolo vakavavika amavoko ghavanave.
7 Well the Word of God kept spreading, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem kept multiplying at a great rate, and a large company of the priests were obeying the faith.
Niiki ilisiio lya Nguluve like kwlagha, ikipugha ikya vavulanisivua kikava kikwongelela kuula kuYerusalemu; nikipughanikipugha ikikome ikya vatekesi vakale kulwitiko.
8 While Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Nhu Sitefano, Juno alyamemile urusungu ni ngufu, alyale ivomba isakudegha ni fidegho ifikome mukipugha kya vanhu.
9 Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.
Loli apuo avanhu vamo vakima avavingiliili munyumba ijakufunyila lino likatambulivuagha nyumba ijakufunyila ija Muhuru, ni lya va Kirene nilya va Eskanderia, navange kuhuma ku Kilikia nhi Asia. Avanhu ava vajovaniagha nhu Stefano.
10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke.
Lol navalyakaguile kughelana nhuvwakyiang'ani nhu Mhepo juno Stefano Juno akavombelagha kusino ajovagha.
11 Then they instigated men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Kange alyavavulile avanhu vamo kisyiefu kuti, “Tumpulike u Stefano ijova amasio agha kum'beda u Musa nhu Nguluve.”
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders and the scribes; and coming upon him they seized him, and brought him in to the Sanhedrin;
Vakavumilisia avanhu, avagholo, na valembi, KangeKange na pikumulutila u Stefano, vakan'kola, no pikun'twala pavulongolo pavuhighi.
13 and they put forward false witnesses who said: “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against the holy place and the law;
Vakavakola avolesi avavudesi, vanovakajova, “Umunhu uju naibuhila kujova amasio amavivi mukighavo iki ikiimike nhi ndaghilo.
14 for we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Natsorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses delivered to us.”
Loli tupulike ijova iti uYesu uju ughwa Nazareti ukupanangania apa tuliipuo na kuhambusia inyio silo tulyapulyapelilue nhu Must.”
15 All who sat in the council, looking intently at him, saw his face like the face of an angel.
Umunhu ghwani juno alyale muvuhighi, akalungamika amaso gha mwene kukumulola u Stefano, avene vakavuagha uvueni uvwamwene vuno vuliale hwene vwenvwen vwa nyamola.
