Acts 6
1 At this time, when the number of believers was increasing rapidly, the Greek-speaking believers started arguing with the Aramaic-speaking believers. They complained that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.
He wode kaalleyssata tayboy dari dari bishin, Girike doona odettiya Ayhudeti Yihudan yelettidi de7iya Ayhudeta bolla zuuzummidosona. Ays giikko, Girike doona odettiya Ayhudeti, “Gallas gallas imettiya kathan nu am77eti naaqettosona” yaagidosona.
2 The twelve apostles called all the believers together, and told them, “It's not appropriate for us to give up spreading the word of God so we can wait at tables.
Tammanne nam77u hawaareti woosa keethaa asa ubbaa xeegidi, “Nuuni Xoossaa qaala odeyssa aggidi kathi gishanaw nuus bessenna.
3 Brothers, choose from among you seven trustworthy men full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will hand this responsibility over to them.
Hiza, ishato, lo77o asata, Geeshsha Ayyaananinne cinccatethan kumida laappun asata hintte giddofe doorite; nuuni entta ha oosuwas shuumana.
4 We ourselves will give our full attention to prayer and the ministry of spreading the word.”
Shin nuuni, nu kumetha wodiya Xoossaa woosaninne qaala tamaarsson peeshshana” yaagidosona.
5 Everybody was happy with the arrangement, and they chose Stephen, (a man full of trust in God and of the Holy Spirit), Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus (originally a Jewish convert from Antioch).
Hawaareti odida oday asa ubbaa ufayssis. Hessa gisho, ammanoynne Geeshsha Ayyaani kumida Isxifaanose, Filiphphoosa, Phirokoroosa, Niqaarone, Ximoona, Pharmmeenanne Ayhude ammano geli simmida Anxookiya Niqolawoosa dooridosona.
6 These men were presented to the apostles who prayed for them and placed their hands on them in blessing.
Entta hawaareta sinthan essin, hawaareti entta bolla kushe wothidi Xoossaa woossidosona.
7 The word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem greatly increased, with a large number of priests committing themselves to trusting in Jesus.
Xoossaa qaalay dalggi dalggi bis. Yerusalaamen de7iya ammaneyssata tayboy dari dari bis; daro kahinetikka ammanidosona.
8 Stephen, full of grace and God's power, performed wonderful miracles among the people.
Isxifaanosey aadho keehatethaaninne wolqqan kumidi asaa giddon oorathabatanne malaatata oothees.
9 But some started arguing with him. They were from the synagogue called “the Free,” as well as Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia Minor.
Aylletethafe keyida Ayhude Woosa Keetha asay Qerenappenne Iskkinddiriyappe Kilqiyafenne Iisiyappe yida issi issi asati denddidi Isxifaanosera palamidosona.
10 But they weren't able to stand against Stephen's wisdom or the Spirit with which he was speaking.
Shin Isxifaanosey Ayyaana wolqqan odettiya cinccatethaa entti eqettanaw dandda7ibookkona.
11 So they bribed some men to say, “We heard this man blaspheme Moses, and God too!”
He wode entti, “Musenne Xoossaa I cayishin si7ida” giya worddo asata shammidosona.
12 They stirred up the people, and together with the elders and the teachers of the law, they came and arrested him. They brought him before the council,
Hessada oothidi biitta cimatanne higge asttamaareta iya bolla denthidosona. Isxifaanose oykkidi Shangguwa sinthe efidosona.
13 and called false witnesses who testified against him. “This man is always slandering the holy Temple and the law,” they said.
Iya bolla paydida worddo markkati, “Ha uray ha Xoossa Keethanne Muse higgiya zaari zaari cayees.
14 “We've heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy the Temple, and will change the laws we received from Moses.”
I, ‘Hayssi Naazirete Yesuusi, ha Xoossa Keethaa laallana; qassi Musey nuus immida higgiya laammana’ yaagishin nuuni si7ida” yaagidosona.
15 Everyone sitting on the council looked closely at Stephen, and his face shone like the face of an angel.
Shanggo shiiqon uttida asay ubbay Isxifaanose loythidi xeelliya wode iya som77oy kiitanchcho som77o daanees.
