Acts 6

1 And in those dayes, as the nomber of ye disciples grewe, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards ye Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the dayly ministring.

Mme ya re ka go ntsifala ga badumedi ka bofefo, ga nna le dingongorego. Ba ba buang puo ya Segerika fela ba ngongoregela gore batlholagadi ba bone ba a kgethololwa ga ba newe dijo tse di lekanyeng ka nako ya fa go abiwa dijo, jaaka go fiwa ba ba buang Sehebera.

2 Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayd, It is not meete that we should leaue the worde of God to serue the tables.

Jalo ba ba lesome le bobedi ba bitsa phuthego ya badumedi botlhe ba re, “Re tshwanetse go dirisa nako ya rona mo go rereng, e seng go tsamaisa thulaganyo ya dijo.

3 Wherefore brethren, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, and full of the holy Ghost, and of wisedome, which we may appoint to this busines.

Ke gone bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, senkang banna ba supa mo gare ga lona, ba ba botlhale ba bile ba tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo, ba ba itsegeng ka molemo mo bathong botlhe; mme re tlaa ba tlhoma go nna batsamaisi ba tiro e.

4 And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde.

Mme re tlaa dirisa nako ya rona mo thapelong, mo therong, le mo thutong.”

5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen a man full of fayth and of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia,

Mme mo ga utlwala sentle mo phuthegong yotlhe, mme ba tlhopha ba ba latelang: Setefane, (monna yo o tletseng tumelo le Mowa O O Boitshepo), Filipo, Porokoro, Nikanore, Timone, Paramenase, Nikolase wa Antioka (Modichaba yo o sokologetseng mo tumelong ya Sejuta, yo o rileng la bofelo a sokologela mo Bokereseteng).

6 Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on them.

Mme ba ba supang ba, ba isiwa fa pele ga Baaposetoloi ba ba baya diatla ba ba rapelela ba ba kopela tshegofatso.

7 And the worde of God increased, and the nomber of the disciples was multipled in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith.

Molaetsa wa Modimo wa rerwa ka bophara mo tikologong yotlhe, mme palo ya barutwa ya ntsifala ka go anama mo Jerusalema; mme baperesiti ba Sejuta ba le bantsi le bone ba sokologa.

8 Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

Setefane, monna yo o tletseng tumelo le nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo a dira dikgakgamatso tse dikgolo tse di sa tlwaelesegang mo bathong.

9 Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steuen.

Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe banna bangwe ba tumelo ya Sejuta ba simolola go ganetsanya nae, mme ya re ka bofefo ba kopana le Bajuta ba ba tswang kwa Saerine, Alekesandria mo Egepeto, le mo dikgaolong tsa Take, ebong Kilikia le Ausia.

10 But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake.

Mme go ne go se ope wa bone yo o emelanang le botlhale le mowa wa ga Setefane.

11 Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God.

Mme ba tlisa bangwe ba banna go tla go bua maaka ka ga gagwe ba re ba utlwile Setefane a tlhapatsa Moshe, le Modimo tota.

12 Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill,

Mme ditshele tse, tsa dira gore batho ba tsogologele Setefane, mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba mo tshwara ba mo tlisa fa pele ga lekgotla.

13 And set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place, and the Law.

Basupi ba maaka ba supa gore Setefane o ne a aga a bua kgatlhanong le Tempele le melao ya ga Moshe.

14 For we haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gaue vs.

Mme ba re, “Re mo utlwile a re Jesu wa Nasaretha o tlaa senya Tempele le melao yotlhe ya ga Moshe.”

15 And as all that sate in the Councill, looked stedfastly on him, they saw his face as it had bene the face of an Angel.

Ya re ka nako eo botlhe ba ba neng ba le mo lekgotleng ba bona sefatlhogo sa ga Setefane se tsabakela jaaka sa moengele.
